Are you done trying to figure it out on your own?
It’s time to let Jesus transform your leadership.
Are you ready to rise?
Many women in business struggle with:
FEELING OVERWHELMED
Balancing work, family, and faith can feel impossible at times. This is a chance for you to drop the overwhelm at the door and allow us to serve you.
LONELINESS IN LEADERSHIP
You may sometimes feel isolated or not have many in your life who really get it. We all need others who can hold up our arms up when we’re weak and tired.
DISCONNECT FROM PURPOSE
In the hustle of daily life, it’s easy to lose sight of your intention, why you started, and the unique calling and assignment you have been chosen to fulfill.
BURNOUT
The constant demand to perform and deliver can drain your energy and joy. You don’t even need to bring your computer to these teaching sessions! Just show up, as you are... and we will serve you JOYFULLY!
This conference is your opportunity to break free from these cycles and step into a new season of leadership, clarity, and community.

Why Waco?
One word – God.
In the summer of 2024, the founders of Heart Soul Strength were praying and fasting about where to host this event, and God led us to Waco. In October of 2024, the founder and an incredible group of Christian ministry leaders and business women came together from all over the country to meet, create, strategize, and prayerfully tour venues in the area.
Deerfield Estates was the first venue we saw, and when we met the owner and came to learn that this was a family-owned and operated business, we knew God was up to something. We actually *tried* to tour four other venues, and God made it very clear that those were not it.
As a group, we decided to go back to Deerfield for a second time in one day to pray over the grounds... and ask a few more questions. After this, we quickly knew that THIS was where this event needed to take place.
Nestled in the heart of Waco, Deerfield Estates provides the perfect backdrop for rest, renewal, and connection. With stunning views, cozy accommodations, and serene outdoor spaces, it’s the ideal environment to hear God’s voice and foster meaningful relationships.
And that, friends, is why Waco.
IS THIS EXPERIENCE RIGHT FOR ME?
YES! This is for you if…
You’re a faith-driven female leader seeking deeper spiritual renewal and leadership growth.
You know you’re called to lead well, but you’re struggling with burnout, self-doubt, or isolation.
You want to be mentored and poured into, rather than always being the one serving others.
You desire a community of like-minded women who understand the weight of leadership.
You’re looking for practical tools and biblical wisdom to lead with clarity and confidence.
You want to build a sustainable leadership rhythm that honors your faith, family, and calling.
You’re excited to step away from distractions and focus on what God is calling you to next.
You’re ready to be challenged, encouraged, and equipped for greater Kingdom impact.
No, this may not be for you if…
You’re looking for a business-only leadership event without faith-based foundation.
You’re looking for a ministry-only leadership event without self-development and business concepts.
You’re not open to self-reflection, mentorship, or faith-driven growth... and differing beliefs.
You’re not ready to invest in your leadership and personal development.
You prefer surface-level networking over deep, meaningful relationships.
You’re hoping for a quick-fix rather than a lasting transformation.
You’re unwilling to step out of your comfort zone and embrace new challenges.
You believe leadership is only about performance, not about serving with purpose and resilience.
