"i'm sold on this experience for life."
“Sunlit Collective was one of the biggest catalysts for growth in my business and in my personal growth in this season. I came in having an established and thriving photography business but needed to hone in on my branding and was looking for community. Sunlit provided just that and then some. The speakers were motivating, inspiring, and full of practical advice. And the women who attended with me?! My new best friends and my biggest cheerleaders. Whether they're in the same industry or not, they're here to encourage you and remind you of your worth and gifts. The workshop was the perfect balance of professional and personal development, fun, reflection, community time, and some wildly good food. I would hands down recommend this to any female business owner looking to elevate her business to the next level. And for anyone who wants to connect with others in the same boat. I'm sold on this experience for life.”

"the workshop was life-changing and every detail was beyond perfection."
“The Sunlit Collective workshop was life changing and every single detail was beyond perfection. This intimate setting allowed each attendee to ask questions, connect with one another and take a step away from the chaos of the world for two days. Kerri organized everything so beautifully and made sure we were all comfortable. The two-day workshop filled my cup with so much joy + motivation and gave me a major boost of confidence. This was the best investment I could have made for myself - it was truly worth every single penny. Whether you run your own business or you are figuring out what your next steps in life will be, this workshop is for any women that want to have a supportive, inclusive and loving community in their corner. I talk to my Sunlit girlfriends on a regular basis and these are friendships that I wouldn’t have ever had without this workshop. You deserve this.”

"those friendships have inspired and moved me in such a short period of time."
“Anytime someone asks what made the workshop so great, my immediate answer is just that I felt so taken care of - which is a KCP classic. I went to the workshop to learn about branding, and I did, from some brilliant women entrepreneurs, but that’s not what the investment feels like it paid for. I invested in this workshop for the things I didn’t know would come from it but amaze me everyday. The community of women that have come around me in support, friendship, and celebration - those friendships that have inspired and moved me in such a short period of time but are quite frankly, priceless. I would recommend the Sunlit workshop to any female entrepreneur who want to grow their community, who feel stuck in their creativity, who need a little bit of joy in their heart and a fire lit under their ass to get going. You’re worth the investment and Sunlit will remind you why.”
