You’re different. You don’t fit the traditional entrepreneurial mold. Your journey is personal, sometimes isolating, and shaped by experiences most people can’t begin to understand.
You’ve been craving a space where you’re truly seen and heard. A place where transformation begins the moment you step in—because the people around you get you.
Where do you find that kind of connection? Where do you go for real, meaningful conversations and behind-the-scenes insights from fellow entrepreneurs who are building businesses on their own terms—not society’s expectations?
Welcome to Indie Cruise.
This is more than a getaway—it’s a game-changer. With Indie Business Blueprint business training + coaching led by Founder & CEO Donna Maria, you’ll map out your next steps to take full charge of your business and life.
And of course, we’re bringing the fun, because all work and no play? Yeah, that’s not how we roll.
Join us for an unforgettable experience of growth, strategy, and celebration. Let’s make this next year yours.
