For the woman who knows she's outgrown her current chapter...

and is ready to step into what's next.

Let's be real.

You don't need another event.

You need a room where:

You can be honest about where you are

You can feel what's next before you can fully explain it

You're surrounded by women who are also rising

Because the truth is... you can be successful, capable, and still feel like something is shifting.

And most spaces?

They don't hold that.

This one does.

This room is for you if:

You feel the pull toward something bigger, but haven't fully stepped into it yet

You're in a transition, pivot, or reinvention season

You've outgrown rooms that feel surface-level or transactional

You want deeper conversations, real connection, and aligned visibility

You are ready to be seen...without performing

What Happens in This Room:

Rise Spotlights: powerful, short-form stories of reinvention from women IN the room!

Curated conversations that go beyond the dreaded "what do you do?" questions

Identity-shifting moments that challenge how you see yourself

Professional photo experience (optional or included for VIP experience)

A space designed for connection, clarity, and momentum

This is not about sitting and listening. It's about stepping into something new.

You Already Feel It...

If you've read this far, you already know.

Something is shifting.

The only question is:

Will you stay where you are?

Or step into the room that could change what's next?

MJ Worthy

MJ Worthy is a transformational speaker, storyteller, and founder of Be Worthy Lifestyle, a movement that empowers people to personalize their mindset and discover the worth that has always existed within them.

Her life has been shaped by profound adversity, including grief, addiction, illness, reinvention, and the courage to begin again. Rather than allowing those experiences to define her, MJ transformed them into stepping stones toward purpose. Her message is simple yet powerful: every setback contains the seed of a new beginning when we choose to recognize our worth.

MJ invites audiences to see resilience as more than surviving. Rising is not returning to who you were before hardship. It is becoming someone stronger, wiser, and more intentional because of it. Through authentic storytelling, practical mindset shifts, and heartfelt encouragement, MJ equips others to embrace change, rewrite limiting beliefs, and live with confidence, courage, and purpose.

Meet Your Host:

Still I Rise isn't about becoming someone new.

It's about remembering who you've always been.

This event was created for women standing at the edge of reinvention.

Women who know there's another chapter waiting, even if they can't quite see it yet.

Led by keynote speaker, Emcee, and author Janet Bernstein,

Still I Rise is a day of honest conversations, bold ideas, meaningful connection,

and practical inspiration designed to help you move forward with greater confidence and clarity.

Because sometimes the greatest act of courage isn't starting over.

It's finally believing you're ready for what's next.

Questions You Might be Thinking...

1. What if I don’t know anyone attending?

Perfect. This room is intentionally designed for connection that goes deeper than surface-level networking. You won’t feel like an outsider, you’ll feel like you found the right room.

2. Do I have to speak or participate?

No. You are always invited, never forced. There will be opportunities to share, connect, and even step into the spotlight… but only if it feels aligned for you. The Rise Spotlight is for those interested in applying to speak at the event. The topic would be related to reinvention, rising from the ashes, finding your voice, etc.

3. What should I wear?

Whatever makes you feel like the version of you you’re stepping into next. This isn’t about impressing anyone. It’s about showing up in a way that feels true, confident, and aligned. We will have a photographer present to capture the day. And attendees have the opportunity to participate in a professional headshot session. VIPs get this with their ticket!

4. Can I upgrade to VIP later?

If spots are still available, yes. VIP is intentionally limited to 5 women to keep the experience intimate, so once it’s full, it’s full.

5. Is this a networking event?

No. You’ll connect, yes. But this isn’t about collecting contacts. It’s about real conversation, aligned relationships, and stepping into who you’re becoming next.

6. What is your refund policy?

Due to the intimate and curated nature of this event, tickets are non-refundable. But we may have a woman in transition who needs a scholarship, and we would love to facilitate that for you and give you credit.

7. How do I know if this is right for me?

If something in you is saying “I need to be in that room”… Trust that.
