I Choose To Win’s 2024 Fall It’s My Time Cohort, held from November 12 to December 17, was an inspiring and transformative six-week virtual experience for a small group of women ready to take intentional action toward their goals. Participants from diverse backgrounds came together each week to reflect, plan, and execute short-term goals, learning more about themselves and celebrating their progress along the way.
The cohort was led by Melonie Butler, accompanied by sessions with our resident coach, Kammella Emmanuel of Keep Evolving Consulting, and personal financial coach Rachel Hanible of Missing Peace Financial Group. Together, they facilitated a sacred space of sisterhood, vulnerability, and radical honesty, guiding participants as they focused on healing, personal growth, and achieving small wins. When asked what grave participants would give the cohort, one had this to say:
“I would give this cohort an A+ because it was everything I didn’t know I needed and more. Melonie’s facilitation was exceptional—she is truly gifted in managing a group of diverse personalities and creating an environment where everyone feels valued. Her ability to hold space, keep us accountable, and encourage us to celebrate ourselves was inspiring and exactly what I needed during this season of my life. The cohort was so thoughtfully organized, from the weekly 1.5-hour meetings that provided structure and accountability to the incredibly personal and special touches like the materials mailed to us. Receiving those packages felt intentional and made me feel seen and cared for, which is a rare experience in most programs. What stood out most was the balance of structure and flexibility. The program was well-organized, and yet it left room for each of us to bring our unique challenges to the table.” – Participant
The women in our It’s My Time cohorts form meaningful connections while supporting one another in their individual journeys. From writing books to pursuing real estate investments, our winning women take bold steps to make their dreams a reality. Another participant shared, “The [cohort] showed that you are never alone. There’s always people to support, guide, celebrate and cry with you. Never feel alone even in the toughest moments. Will definitely force you to take time to yourself. The importance of self-reflection and creating opportunities for small wins. Overall, motivation! Because everyone deserves to win!.”
Another participant reflected, “Thank you so much for creating a space for women to discuss and attend to their emotional, spiritual and physical wellness and betterment. Please continue to keep the doors of opportunity open as you change lives!!”
We are incredibly proud of the women who participated in the Fall 2024 cohort and the progress they’ve made toward their aspirational journeys. Their courage, commitment, and growth have made this experience truly special, and we’re excited to see them continue to thrive in 2025.
