What is the wise women’s council?
The Wise Women’s Council is year-long leadership incubator and mastermind for business women, leaders, and CEOs tired of the status quo.
The Wise Women’s Council is a year-long leadership incubator for women in business who are ready to do things differently. It is a blend of leadership curriculum, deep conversations, guided coaching, and small group breakouts. We gather brilliant women together for small-group sessions on leadership, life, and work. It’s designed for women founders, entrepreneurs, executives, and creatives who are building meaningful work while also navigating the complexity of mid-life.
When you hit mid-life, the whirlwind of obligations often comes at you like a tornado. You’re navigating business growth, career shifts, caregiving responsibilities, community work, often all while building families. It can become so overwhelming that you get lost in it. That’s why we exist. The Wise Women’s Council is a weekly gathering space for women who are done performing, done pretending, and done trying to do it all alone.
If you’re seeking a space that honors both your ambition and your exhaustion, your brilliance and your burnout, your strategy and your softness—you’ve found it. This is a community for women who crave deeper conversations, thoughtful leadership, and a re-imagined way of doing business rooted in wisdom, connection, and joy.
WWC was founded in 2018, and we’ve run 11 cohorts through our program so far. If you need a place to slow down, reflect, and design your life with intention, I hope you apply to join us. We open doors for new members annually.
The Wise Women’s Council is a 12-month leadership experience that blends community, curriculum, and coaching.
We believe that leadership is about grounded wisdom, resourcing yourself with wise community, and built upon your deepest inner knowing. I’ll explain more about how we do all of this—and what happens when people are invited to join—down below.

WHO IS IT FOR?
The Wise Women’s Council is for women building businesses, leading teams, and reimagining what leadership looks like—often while raising families, managing care, or navigating complex life transitions.
Our members are entrepreneurs, executives, creatives, and change-makers. They’re ambitious and awake. Sharp and soul-searching. They’ve grown tired of traditional models of success that require constant self-sacrifice—and they’re ready for a new way forward.
There is no way to describe what it feels like to be validated across all areas of life. So much of being a woman (and more so, a mom) makes one feel invisible. In this space I felt seen and heard by really smart, funny, and fearless parents.
WHO WWC IS FOR
This is a private leadership community for women shaping the future of work, life, and culture. Inside WWC, you’ll find rest and rigor, challenge and care. It’s a place to explore your leadership edge, reconnect with your power, and remember who you are—so you can move through this next chapter with clarity, courage, and joy.
The Wise Women’s Council is for you if…
-
You’re a founder, business owner, or leader.
-
You’re craving community with other smart, driven, generous women.
-
You want to lead with clarity and integrity, not from burnout.
-
You’re tired of going it alone.
- You thrive in conversation with others, connecting deeply around ideas and growth.
-
You’re ready for a new model of leadership rooted in wholeness, wisdom, and depth.
The women who join us are…
Building something new, daring, or different. A company, a creative practice, a reimagined family structure, or a renewed version of themselves. They are invested in reshaping how we live, work, and lead.
Committed to whole-life leadership. They know leadership is not just about professional success; it’s about building lives of alignment, purpose, and integrity across every domain.
Expanding their leadership capacity. They want to stretch, grow, and discover what they are truly capable of—beyond old definitions of success.
Exploring what’s possible. They refuse to accept the narrow boxes society offers, and are eager to experiment, imagine, and chart new ways forward.
Dissatisfied with the status quo. They’re not sold on the existing visions of motherhood, womanhood, or leadership, and are ready to co-create something better.
Leaders, dreamers, and doers. They carry vision and responsibility while holding the invisible load of daily life—and they know they don’t want to do it alone.
At the horizon’s edge. They understand we are in the early days of building what comes next for women, leadership, and culture, and they are ready to be part of that future.
WWC is a community of women who are doing interesting work, raising kids, and supporting each other. If you’re working solo, working from home, or just want to build a new community of supportive peers, WWC is an incredible blessing. It was a gift I didn’t know I needed. I found companionship, friendship, business support, cheerleaders, and new ideas. WWC helped me find new inspiration I have applied to my work and my personal relationships, including my relationship with myself.

WHAT OUR MEMBERS SAY
My experience has been transformational, especially on the inside. I was in The Wise Women’s Council in 2020 during the pandemic, with twin babies and zero childcare. I started using my voice, I pitched and got featured, and I still managed my writing business. Most importantly, I gained tools and community far beyond business building, which is priceless.

I loved everything about the program. The women who joined me were inspiring, thoughtful, emotionally intelligent, and eager to be in community. That alone made every forum for interacting worth my time and focus. SKP is brilliant at holding space, providing sparks for connections, and letting go of any attachment of a plan in service of meeting the group where they are and what they are needing.
Being with Sarah in a mastermind is a totally life-changing experience. She has a knack for listening in a really powerful way. But here’s the thing: having my turn to speak in the hot seat is always life-changing. What was more surprising and powerful was how much I got out of being there for other people. Sarah models how to listen, how to ask insightful questions, and how to create space for other people to be honest, to be real, to be growing-in-process. Through her guidance, I became a more active listener and connected more deeply to other people’s stories. That was the game changer: being a powerful listener is the substance of true, life-long connections.
MEET THE FOUNDER
Hi, I’m Sarah K Peck — founder, mother, writer, and leadership coach.
I built the Wise Women’s Council because I wanted a space where women could grow their work and their wisdom. Where we could talk about the things that don’t fit neatly in business books — identity shifts, ambition after motherhood, loneliness in leadership, building rich communities, building wealth, and refining your life.
WWC is my answer to that hunger. When I became a mother while working at a tech-backed startup, to launching my own company and becoming a founder in less than a year, I couldn’t find the kind of leadership support that made room for the fullness of my experience. Most masterminds were narrowly focused on productivity, profit, or scale—without connecting to the depth and heart of the mission. Without understanding family dynamics, feminism, or even the humanity behind work itself. Few spaces made room for all of me, for my multi-faceted life, for my ambition—and my need for sleep.
So I built what I couldn’t find:
A space that honors your intellect and your intuition.
That values ambition and rest.
That helps you grow your company and your soul.
A place that lets you live your life in the best way for you.
Take a look around, and if it’s right for you, I look forward to seeing you apply to join the Wise Women’s Council!
