Clear the Path to Your Soul Breakthrough
Ready to finally break free from what’s been holding you back and step into a life of clarity, purpose, and aligned impact in your work?
Even when you’ve done all the right things—worked hard, strategized, and taken action - there’s often something deeper at play that keeps success just out of reach. These aren’t external challenges but internal obstacles - subtle, sneaky energetic blocks that prevent you from fully stepping into your power and purpose.
In Ronda's transformational training session, you’ll uncover:
• The hidden patterns that have been keeping you stuck.
• Why external challenges in work and life are just a reflection of internal resistance.
• How to transmute these internal barriers so your actions can flow effortlessly toward the results you desire.
• A clear, actionable step to reclaim your power and create meaningful momentum in your business.
It’s time to clear the path, release resistance, and experience the breakthrough you’ve been waiting for.
Whether you’re navigating a business challenge, struggling to feel aligned with your purpose, or seeking clarity to move forward, this focused training will guide you to your next level of success.

Susan L. Herrmann has spent thirty years as a therapist and educator guiding people through trauma toward authentic sovereignty. Her holistic approach draws from indigenous wisdom traditions and her cross-cultural work directing service learning programs in Vietnam, where she witnesses daily how communities heal from collective trauma through connection rather than isolation.
Gift for all attendees
Susan is sharing the powerful Foreword to Breaking Up with the Patriarchy: Decolonizing our Lives and Returning to the Kinship Worldview, written by renowned Indigenous scholar Four Arrows (Don Trent Jacobs).
In this compelling introduction, Four Arrows—who has authored over twenty books on Indigenous wisdom and worldview transformation—provides essential context for understanding how the dominant worldview has shaped our collective suffering and why returning to the Kinship Worldview represents not just personal healing, but a pathway to planetary survival. His words illuminate the revolutionary nature of Susan's work while grounding it in the ancient wisdom that has sustained humanity for most of our existence.
