Permission Granted: Reclaiming Your Power in Business and Beyond
As business owners and professionals, we’ve been conditioned to wait—wait for approval, wait for the "right time," or wait for someone else to validate our decisions. But here is the truth: no one is coming to grant us permission. And that’s actually the good news.
Please note that this workshop has been rescheduled from March 10th to March 17th. Join us for this interactive session as we explore why self-permission is the ultimate catalyst for success in both business and life.
When we wait for external validation before setting boundaries or making bold moves, we inadvertently give away our power. Granting ourselves permission isn't about being reckless; it’s about recognizing that you already hold the authority to create the business and life you want.
In this workshop, we’ll explore:
- The Five Essential Permission Slips: Key authorizations every business owner needs to write for themselves.
- Breaking the Pattern: Why waiting keeps us stuck and how to shift your mindset.
- Real-World Impact: Stories of what happens when we grant ourselves permission to say no, to be afraid, to reach for more, or even to quit.
- Practical Strategies: Tools for becoming the final authority in your own professional and personal journey.
You’ll leave with clarity on exactly where you’ve been holding back and the tools to start writing your own permission slips immediately.
About Mari Wuellner
Mari Wuellner is living proof that granting yourself permission changes everything.
She's the CEO and Founder of The Crew Life Coaching Collective - a membership community making expert coaching accessible at $97/month through a full faculty of coaches in mindset, productivity, wellness, relationships, and more. But getting here required some major permission slips along the way.
In 2008, Mari opened a State Farm Agency and grew it from zero to $3MM in annual premium. She was successful by every traditional measure - until she gave herself permission to admit her real passion was helping people design lives they actually love waking up to. That realization led her to launch her coaching practice in 2017.
Along the way, Mari has had to grant herself permission to pivot, to prioritize differently, to say no to what doesn't serve her, and to build businesses around her core values: family, impact, freedom, and growth. She's a real estate investor, podcaster, and avid traveler who has intentionally designed her life on her own terms.
Married to Tom, a corporate pilot, for 20 years with three amazing kids, Mari's learned that leadership, courage, and prioritizing FUN are non-negotiable - and that waiting for someone else's approval is optional.
Her purpose: "To break down walls & build up trust so that we can live the life of our dreams." Mari's mission is to be a catalyst for others to realize the magic of a life truly Lived on Purpose - one permission slip at a time.
