Woo Freakin’ Hoo! Exciting news, Tribe. Stratejoy is hitting the road. I’m going to be leading some awesome workshops in San Francisco and Washington, DC this summer! More details and online registration will be coming soon as we secure locations, panelists, and sponsors–but I did want to introduce you to the event leaders in each city!
Before I do that- there are a few other new events I want to make sure you’re aware of!
101 Things To DO Before You Go- Creating a Meaningful Life List was so fun last time, I thought we’d do it again!
Expect guided brainstorming, lots of examples, lunch, mimosas, and tons of art supplies to make an inspiring vision board or memory book to hold your list!

This event is a great way to take some time for yourself to create, get crafty, and commit to checking off some excitement from you list!
Bring your mom, your sister, your significant other- Men are totally invited to this event!
These lovely ladies are motivated, authentic, and excited to bring you an empowering and inspiring event. I’m thrilled to be working with both Carlie and Nicole to produce these workshops, and hopefully more in the future.
If you’re interested in contacting the gals about helping with the event in your city, you can reach them at carlie {at} stratejoy {com} or nicole {at} stratejoy {com}. Carlie’s the gal about town in the Bay Area and Nicole is rockin’ in DC.
Without further ado, it’s my great pleasure to introduce…
San Francisco Leader
Mission: Give more, Take less.
Professional Bio: Carlie Hanson is a woman of many talents. Barista in the morning, SEO strategist and marketer midday, event planner and writer by night, she moved to San Francisco in 2009 for adventure. Upon meeting other 20 somethings and encountering Quarterlife Crisis, she became an advocate for conquering (and loving!) the Quarterlife experience. Find her on Twitter.
I Love: running, people, laughing, cooking, eating, British funky jazz music, Women’s Health magazine, university, london, british accents, reading social psychology, traveling, wine, adventuring, and entrepreneurship.
I Despise: lying, goodbyes, desk jobs, and jobs that make you refrain from talking.
What else? As a MN native, I graduated from the University of Minnesota in 2008. In 2009, I uprooted to SF for adventure, warmth, and new challenges (surfing? vineyard volunteer? yes!). In between balancing all my jobs, you can usually find me volunteering, running, getting lost, and hanging out with new SF friends. I’m currently taking a break from graduate school, but I can’t wait to get back and complete my masters in health communications.
Washington DC Leader
Mission: Live a Transparent Authentic Open life by empowering others to seek balance, pursue passions, chase dreams, choose happiness and discover purpose.
Professional Bio: Nicole Indelicato is the Founder of Nicole Indelicato, LLC, a Success Coaching Practice that provides Gen Y athletes resources, tools, leadership and empowerment to live their best life on purpose. You can find her on Twitter.
I Love: Being in nature, traveling the World, thinking BIG, baseball parks and players, red velvet cupcakes, paying it forward, inspiration, handbags, green tea, bookstores, rural country, interior design, camping, deep & meaningful conversations with my “soul sisters”.
I Despise: Pigeons, thinking small, judgment, New York City subway rats, pork, peas and walls that are not painted.
What Else? I was born in New York, grew up in New Jersey and attended in college in Connecticut (Go UCONN) – A true tri-stater. I currently live in Arlington, VA outside of Washington, DC. I am a philanthropist, baseball lover, world traveler, and adventure enthusiast. I spend my daily energy on my companies and non-profit (aka my babies) and continue to brainstorm ways to set out and leave my legacy upon this world.

[Welcome to a 4 part Blog Post on the philosophy behind Stratejoy. We'll hit the 4 Pillars of Inspiration, Clarity, Accountability & Camaraderie over the next 2 weeks. Stay tuned & if you like--share with a friend or two!]
After you’ve entered the magical land of Inspiration, the next thing you need to do is seek Clarity. What do you actually want? And is that response your true authentic answer or a programmed reflex? This pillar calls for a great level of self reflection and honesty. And it takes some work. But I think it’s the most exciting, fabulous, mind bending, doors opening part of the process! Ladies, start your engines…
Second Step: Get Clear
Here’s the million dollar question: “What does your best life look like?”
Quick, gut check: What are you feeling when you read that question? Are you excited imagining all the possibilities? Are you jazzed, though slightly overwhelmed? Does it remind you to take some action to move forward on your journey?
