    — TD

    — T

  • Kasia has an incredible ability to show the subtle and not-so-subtle levels of societal and generational conditioning and manipulation and how they build on each other. That awareness alone is liberating and empowering.

    — JS

  • The Academy changed the way I see myself and the power I have in my interactions with others. Step by step I am feeling more in control of my life, leaving anxiety behind.

    — V

“Kasia has such amazing energy, both kind and caring, and oftentimes just takes you along like a hurricane of joy and curiosity!”

— CS

I have been in the smush my whole life, that too much and not enough kind of place. Trying to be assertive but feeling timid, or feeling free and being told to hush it up. Not knowing where to put my energy, and always being sabotaged no matter what. I couldn’t figure it out. Enter Kasia and The Academy. Deep deep gratitude.

— C

  • I've been looking for specific training and a space for conversations about female empowerment. There was just such a gap in resources around this topic so when I saw this learning opportunity at The Academy I jumped at it!

  • The Academy explores different ways we can interact with our world; how to be human. It tunes you in to what is already there.

    — SE

  • I love Kasia's perspective, wisdom, and energy. She is a true inspiration to me. The Academy is a beautiful space to unthink and rethink the things we know and consider as normal. When we discover shifts of perspective, we realize there is so much more freedom, power, inspiration, and aliveness possible in our lives.

    — LC

  • Kasia (through various courses and her book, Unbound) has been one of the most influential people in my life this year.

    — B

  • Before learning from Kasia, I always felt shame, guilt, and anxiety before and after asking. Now I feel empowered and connected to my deep desire to live in a culture where asking is celebrated and encouraged from the earliest age until the end of life. Kasia's ideas are rebellious, unique, and fresh. Her teaching style is inspiring, light-hearted, and warm.

    — L

  • What most surprised me is the raw power of Kasia's approach and the variety of women who study with her - there is no "type".

    — O

  • I knew within the first ten minutes of class that it was worth every penny because I learned more in those ten minutes than in ten years of therapy. It is one of the most profound personal growth experiences that I have ever had.

    — LC

  • You won't believe how cool this work is.

    — M

“This space feels akin to gathering a small army of badass POWERFUL UNBOUND WOMEN here to lay the framework for a new way of doing things informed by LOVE as we bring this world back into balance by empowering women to such a degree that they can hold the balance of the weight that the patriarchy holds.

I feel grateful to be a part of this experiment - it feels alive and like it will continue to evolve and meet deeper needs than any of us can know at this time.”

— Kimberly Clo

    — Y

  • The changes I feel in my body and my felt level of safety every day have improved so much just from the simple knowledge that power belongs to the questioner: ask a question.

    — A

  • Kasia makes the entire experience of embodying a new way of dealing with conflict natural and empowering.

  • This work is the answer to women reclaiming control of their lives.

    — M

“I’ve since started asking for more in my life. Not because I consciously planned to, but I suppose because thanks to the material I was practicing in my imagination and somehow it became more natural to ask in real life. I didn’t expect that such simple exercises could affect me in such a profound way.”

— B

  • Studying with Kasia has saved my marriage. I am able to have more direct conversations with my husband. Our sex is incredible because I learned how to ask for what I want in a way that builds connection rather than breaking it.

    — MS

  • I was surprised by the simplicity behind Kasia's philosophy of power dynamics. I not only finally understand the world of power, but could also play inside of it. This is crucial, especially for women living in a man's world.

    — MW

  • The clear communication that Kasia teaches enables personal and professional growth, but more importantly, it also has the capacity to prevent harm and save lives.

    — HSK

“I've met so many amazing women as a result of The Academy and we cheer each other on. It feels amazing to have emotional support when everything is going wrong and I feel small and lost. The warmth and love that these women pour on in those moments make the struggle a little bit easier.

It's also wonderful to break the taboo of celebrating oneself and being cheered on.”

— S

“Working with Kasia made me realize how resistant I was to asking anyone for anything to help or support me. Focused on my own self-reliance in the world as a feminist woman, I had no idea how to ask for help, and my spirit resisted that very act.

Now my husband and I have honest conversations about needs and desires, and the most basic exercise, the Asking Practice, is one that we use daily - so simple and so transformative in our home. Our partnership is stronger, and we’re both more comfortable and less vulnerable in large and small asks.
