A 10-Week Mastermind for
High-Skilled Immigrant Women
Ready to Reinvent, Rise & Lead
The WanderWomen Dilemma
You’ve built the life everyone admires: the education, the global move, the career, the family.
On paper, you’re thriving. But here’s the reality no one sees:
You work harder than others just to prove your worth.
You navigate the “Unholy Trinity” of gender, race, and immigration bias.
You wonder if you’ll ever feel fully seen, not just for your skills, but for who you are.
You’re capable. You’re admired. You’ve achieved so much. And yet you know, there’s more of you waiting to be expressed.
What If You Could
Shift the Story?
Picture this:
Speaking with clarity and conviction in rooms where you once held back.
Saying no without guilt and yes to opportunities that align with your desires.
Being surrounded by women who truly “get it”, ambitious, global, high-skilled.
Leading authentically, on your terms, without waiting for permission.
This isn’t about dismantling your life. It’s about building the next chapter where you take center stage.
Why Most Programs
Don’t Work
Leadership programs give you frameworks but no context for high-skilled immigrant women’s realities.
Women’s networks give you contacts but not the safe, curated circle you need.
What you really need is:
A dedicated space where your immigrant experience is the starting point.
A structured process rooted in reinvention and identity, not just more content.
A trusted circle strong enough to support you through resistance and pushback.
That’s what WanderWomen Mastermind delivers.

FAQs
What if I’m not sure I belong?
Every woman who joins has asked herself this at some point. The very fact that you’re questioning means you do belong. This circle is curated for high-skilled immigrant women who are often “the only one” in their workplace. You’ll find women who get your story before you even explain it.
Is this too much time for my schedule?
The live sessions are 90 minutes once a week. That’s less than 1% of your week but it will shift how you show up the other 99%. Many participants say the sessions gave them back time because they stopped over-preparing, over-explaining, and over-delivering everywhere else.
What if I invest and don’t see results?
Results look different for everyone: promotions, career pivots, greater visibility, or simply feeling whole again. What’s consistent is transformation. If you show up and engage, you will leave with shifts in voice, visibility, and identity. The testimonials aren’t exceptions, they’re the norm.
What if I can’t attend live every week?
Life happens…work travel, family commitments. Every session is recorded, and we provide integration practices so you can catch up without losing momentum. The small cohort means your peers and Shivangi will notice if you disappear, accountability built in.
Is this just another “networking group”?
No. This isn’t about swapping LinkedIn contacts. It’s about building a trusted inner circle that sees all of you, your ambition, your doubts, your brilliance. Many alumnae say they found allies and sponsors here they couldn’t find anywhere else.
Can my employer sponsor me?
Yes. Many participants use professional development budgets to cover tuition. We can provide an enrollment letter that frames this as leadership development with clear ROI for organizations.
What makes this different from other leadership programs?
Most programs teach frameworks designed for the dominant culture. WanderWomen begins with your immigrant experience as the context, not something to overcome, but something to leverage. That difference changes everything.
I’ve already achieved a lot. Do I really need this?
Yes, if you feel there’s more of you still waiting to be expressed. Many participants were already managers, directors, or founders when they joined. They weren’t looking for “basic leadership tips” but for a space to reinvent and lead on their own terms.
What happens after the 10 weeks?
You’ll join the WanderWomen alum circle, an ongoing global community with continued opportunities for visibility, collaboration, and leadership. The 10 weeks are a launchpad, not an endpoint.
