The Girlfriend School Launches: A Weekend Workshop Helping Professional Women Build Confidence, Emotional Acuity, and Lasting Connections
Seattle, WA– COMING SOON (Dec)! — Professional women in their mid-20s to early 30s are navigating one of the busiest, most transitional stages of life — careers, relationships, friendships, and personal growth. Many feel anxious, drained, or disconnected while searching for meaningful and lasting relationships. The Girlfriend School, a new women-focused weekend workshop, has been created to meet this need head-on.
Designed specifically for single or dating professional women, the program provides a powerful space to rediscover confidence, emotional acuity, and authentic communication. Over the course of one immersive weekend, participants will:
Build Leadership & Confidence – tools for navigating relationships and professional spaces with clarity and strength.
Alleviate Anxiety & Stress – practical techniques rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to reframe thought patterns.
Elevate Communication – learn strategies to express needs and boundaries with confidence and empathy.
Find Their Groove – reconnect with joy, self-trust, and the ability to create meaningful connections.

The workshop combines proven psychological frameworks with a supportive, women-only environment, offering participants the chance to transform how they approach both personal and professional relationships.

This workshop isn’t about quick fixes — it’s about helping women step into their full presence, reduce anxiety, and build the skills to create lasting, meaningful connections,” said, Dr. Shalina J. Akins founder of The Girlfriend School, who brings over 20 years of coaching experience in confidence-building, communication, and personal growth.
