“I recently completed the inaugural nine month journey with the Chrysalis Collective, developed and led by Dr. Rebecca Eldredge, PhD. Honestly, I was initially hesitant to join. However, the transformative Chrysalis program exceeded my expectations.
Being part of a small, intimate group of women provided a unique and invaluable space where I could openly discuss the pressures and microaggressions I face in my professional and personal life. The trust and unbiased feedback I received from Rebecca and the group helped me navigate significant life events, including career defining decisions and personal grief. The support, respect, and encouragement fostered within this group made it a truly freeing and meaningful experience. I look forward to continuing my professional relationship with Rebecca and the positive impact it has had on my life.”

Let’s discuss if Chrysalis is right for you.
“Chrysalis was truly a lifeline for me during a time when I felt like I was drowning in the overwhelming demands of my life. The support, guidance, and resources provided by Rebecca and the community of Black women in Chrysalis helped me navigate through my grief, career decisions, and personal responsibilities. I was hesitant at first, considering factors like race, time, and money, but after hearing testimonials and having conversations with Rebecca, I knew it was the right decision for me.
Since joining Chrysalis, I have seen a significant improvement in my sense of wellbeing. I no longer feel like I am drowning; I am treading in shallow waters and have the energy and clarity to navigate through my days. I have implemented self-care practices, set boundaries, and made important decisions about my career and personal life. Rebecca created a safe space where I could come as I am, be vulnerable, and receive the support I needed to transform and grow.
I would highly recommend Chrysalis to others, especially to Black women and women from marginalized communities. The co-created space, vulnerability, and freedom to explore important topics and experiences make it a transformative and empowering journey. If you are someone who values a safe space, empathy, and community support, Chrysalis is the perfect space for you to beat your wings and emerge as a butterfly. Thank you, Rebecca, for being a true co-conspirator in this transformative process.”
