Woman You Are Strong | 2026

Woman You are Strong is a half-day conference designed to inspire, empower, and encourage women to be totally well, and to bring together a community of women who can forge connections, celebrate, and collaborate with each other. In late 2018 and early 2019, the conference founder, Diana Sharpe, navigated major life-changing moments in her health and finances; changes that threatened her stability and confidence. During these moments, it was her faith, her resilience, and a community of women that kept her going. After one too many ‘valley’ moments, she heard a still voice speak into her inner-being, “Woman You are Strong. Everything you need is inside of you.” That word ended a season of doubt, uncertainty, and pain. From those experiences emerged a woman filled with purpose and passion, not only to pursue her own dreams, but filled with deep commitment to support and help other women achieve their dreams and improve their total well-being.

The vision for the conference is to create a meaningful, inspiring, and empowering experience for women, one that moves attendees from inspiration, to awareness, to intentional action, even small steps. The goal is to create a safe environment where women are inspired to improve their total health and well-being. This year, our core pillars are healthy women and healthy relationships and understanding how creating a supportive village can enhance our well-being.

The conference begins with personal storytelling through the keynote, grounding the day in shared experiences and courage. We will work through a few interactive networking activities where there will be lots of opportunities for attendees to make personal connections and learn from each other. We will then transition an interactive well-being session designed to help women understand the importance of reducing the overwhelm we all feel, restoring balance, and identifying practical next steps they can carry forward into their lives “to work less, live more, and be their best” (Olson). We will then continue the conversation through a women’s health panel, creating space for honest dialogue, education, and collective understanding.
