REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE 

 

THE POWER SUMMIT

A one-day, in-person experience for women who are ready to stop shrinking, remember who they are, and take the next bold step toward the life they were created to live. This Summit is not about becoming someone new — it’s about returning to the truth that always lived within you.

The Power Summit is the first live gathering of the 1 Million Women, 1 Million Steps movement.

 

SATURDAY, MARCH 28, 2026 | 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM CT

University of Illinois Chicago

Chicago, IL In-person only ¡ Limited to 100 women

ABOUT THE MOVEMENT

1 Million Women, 1 Million Steps is a women’s empowerment movement founded by Eva M. Kennedy to help women push past obstacles, take one intentional step at a time, and move toward the life they truly desire.

Rooted in clarity, courage, and emotional freedom, the movement reminds women that the power they seek is already within them — they simply need to remember.

Built on the belief that one step can change a life, the movement brings women together to rise, evolve, and reconnect with their truth — one step at a time.

This event is the movement’s first major Summit, offering a deeper, more expansive in-person experience for women ready to take their next bold step.

Our Commitment to Women's Empowerment 

 

This work is part of something greater.  

 

The Power Summit is dedicated to creating transformational experiences for women while giving back to the community. Our work is rooted in the belief that when women remember their power and step into their truth, entire communities transform.

In support of women's empowerment, 75% of net proceeds from The Power Summit will be donated to a local nonprofit organization supporting women, girls, trans, and gender-expansive people across Chicago in areas including:

  • Economic security
  • Freedom from violence
  • Access to health and well-being

     

When you attend The Power Summit, you are not only saying "yes" to your own growth — you are also investing in the lives, leadership, and futures of women and girls across Chicago.

This Summit isn't about becoming someone new. 

It's about remembering the part of you that already exists.

Who This Is For

The Woman Who's Finally Ready to Show Up for Herself                     

 
You've spent so long being who everyone else needed you to be.


The responsible one. The steady one. The strong one.

And now—maybe for the first time—you're quietly asking:
"When do I get to show up for me?"

This Summit is the answer to that question.

 This experience is designed for mature Millennials and Boomers — women navigating life’s biggest transitions and ready to step into what’s next.

Maybe you are the woman who…

  • Has raised your children and is wondering who you are beyond “mom”

  • Is asking, “Is this all there is?”

  • Is ready to reclaim yourself after divorce, loss, or a health scare

  • Has built a successful career, but wants more than a title

  • Is outgrowing the life you’ve been living

  • Is thinking about legacy — and ready to live it now

You’re not starting over.
You’re remembering who you’ve always been.

And that remembering is calling you to this moment.

— This is divine timing. —

The Shift You've Been Feeling

If You’re Honest,
Something in You Has Been Shifting

 

On the outside, it looks like you have it together. People come to you for support, advice, leadership, and strength. They see your achievements, your resilience, your ability to “handle it.”

But on the inside, you may be feeling:
  • A quiet restlessness you can’t shake
  • Exhaustion from being strong all the time
  • A pull toward something more, without clear language for what “more” is
  • Guilt for even wanting more when others think you “should be grateful”
  • Fear of disrupting what you’ve built, even if it no longer fits

 

 You’ve been searching for answers in the next achievement, the next role, the next project.
 
— But the truth is  —

You don’t need to become someone new.

You’re being called to remember who you already are — and to let go of what no longer serves you so you can rise.

The Experience

How We’ll Journey Together: The 4 A’s

  

 

The Power Summit guides you through an intentional and powerful process. Throughout the day, you'll move through four transformational phases, with interactive mini-workshops led by Eva M. Kennedy and four transformational speakers.

Speakers will be announced in January 2026, each chosen for their ability to lead women through a transformational step of the journey.

AWARENESS

Get honest about where you are and what you’ve been carrying.

  • Slow down enough to hear your own voice.
  • Name what’s been feeling off — the restlessness, resistance, or fear.
  • See the patterns that have kept you shrinking or settling.

ALIGNMENT

Honor your values, desires, and the truth of who you are.

  • Clarify what truly matters to you in this season of your life.
  • Reconnect with the person within — the woman you may have pushed aside.
  • Begin to align your choices with what your spirit already knows is true.

ABUNDANCE

Shift from scarcity, fear, and “not enough” into possibility.

  • Challenge the stories that say you’re too old, too late, or asking for too much.
  • Remember that your gifts, experiences, and wisdom still have more to offer.
  • Open to the idea that there is more available for you — in joy, purpose, and peace.

ACTION

Leave with language, clarity, and your next bold step.

  • Claim, in your own words, what you truly desire in this season.
  • Identify simple, realistic next steps that honor where you are and where you’re going.
  • Walk away with one empowered decision you’re ready to make — and a community cheering you on.

What You’ll Walk Away With

More Than Inspiration
A Shift You Can Feel

 

By the end of the Summit, you won’t just leave with notes in a journal. You’ll leave with clarity in your spirit and language in your mouth.

  1. A clear understanding of what you truly desire — not what's expected of you, but what your heart and soul are calling you toward.

  2. A deeper connection with the person within — the true essence of who you are — so you can make decisions from truth, not fear.

  3. A trust in your own knowing — because your spirit has been guiding you all along, and now you can hear it more clearly.

  4. Language for what you've been feeling — so you can finally name it, honor it, and move forward instead of staying stuck.

  5. Simple, practical tools and reflective questions you can return to when life gets loud, and you're tempted to forget yourself again.

  6. A release of the weight you've been carrying and a renewed sense of purpose — clarity about the legacy you're meant to live right now, in this season of your life.

  7. A sense of community and connection with women who are walking their own journeys of remembering, healing, and elevation.

This Summit is not a moment of hype. It is a moment of remembering who you are, a moment of realigning with your truth, and a moment of rising into the woman you’ve always been — a moment that will continue to unfold long after the day ends.

Eva's faith is the foundation of her work, guiding how she shows up, serves, and supports every woman she encounters.

Her work is grounded in a simple truth: Every woman already has the power within her—she just needs to remember.

Through her signature workshops and coaching, Eva has guided hundreds of women at nonprofits, government agencies, and community organizations to remember who they've always been.

What Women Are Saying

"When I stepped into Eva's workshop, I had no idea I was stepping into a journey of recognizing my God-given greatness. She asked the questions I'd been afraid to ask myself. I walked away lighter, clearer, and more connected to who I am.”
— BJ P.
“I didn't realize how much I needed a room like this. Being surrounded by women who were honest about their fears and still choosing to move forward gave me permission to do the same.”
— Stephanie D.
“Working with Eva helped me remember that my voice matters. I stopped making myself small to keep everyone else comfortable.”
— Megan C.
“You are a gift to anyone who hears your message. Your passion is undeniable and your impact is real.”
— Executive Director, Illinois Supreme Court Commission
“Eva was my life coach, and she helped me navigate my transition into retirement — leaving a workplace I loved, relocating from the city to the suburbs, and stepping into a new season of life as ‘grandmother-in-chief.’ Her insight and support carried me through one of the biggest changes of my life. If you ever have the opportunity to work with Eva — one-on-one, in a seminar, or in a corporate setting — run, don’t walk. She is truly amazing.”
