In 2025, we’re getting all the way real.
Â
We’re done performing. We’re done hiding. We’re done surviving.
Â
It’s time to show up for yourself in a way you never have before.
Â
At A.S.C.E.N.D. Summit 25, you’ll walk into a space that doesn’t just see the version of you that’s smiling through the pain…
We’re calling out the real YOU, the one who’s ready to be free.
Â
Let’s:
        Activate your truth.
        Strengthen your voice.
        Connect with those who get it.
        Empower your healing.
        Navigate the hard stuff.
       Dream without limits or guilt.
Â
Because you deserve more than just healing, you deserve freedom.

A.S.C.E.N.D. 2025 is your chance to pause, reset, and finally choose you.
You’ve carried the weight long enough.
You’ve shown up for everyone else long enough.
You’ve people-pleased, overcommitted, stayed silent, and smiled through it long enough.
Now, it’s time to show up for you ... without guilt, without the mask, and without pretending everything’s fine when it’s not.
Â
Give yourself the space to:
- Step away from your routine and into a space created just for your healing, clarity, and growth
- Learn tools that help you stop just surviving and start thriving
- Be surrounded by women who understand your journey, your strength, and your struggle
- Let go of what’s been weighing you down and receive real support for what’s next
- Reconnect with yourself, your purpose, and the vision you’ve been carrying quietly for far too long

VIP ME PLEASEWhat They Said After ASCEND 2024...
You asked for more—and we heard you LOUD and clear.
After the powerful feedback, standing ovations, the tears, the breakthroughs, the “I never knew I needed this” moments from our first-ever A.S.C.E.N.D. Summit…
Â
We’re doing it again.Â
Â
And this time, we’re pulling the mask ALL the way off.
This is your invitation to reclaim your truth, your healing, and your dreams.



Last year, we made space for transformation.
This year, we’re taking it even further.
A.S.C.E.N.D. 2025 is not a repeat. It’s a rise.
This is your chance to go deeper into healing, deeper into community, and deeper into the version of yourself you’ve been quietly becoming.

Meet Your Host:
Harriet M. Harris, MBA
Founder of the You Are Not Your Trauma® Movement & Creator of the ASCEND Summit
Â
Harriet M. Harris is a trauma-informed life and business coach, speaker, and author who helps women heal what’s been holding them back so they can live more whole, aligned, and joyful lives.
She created the ASCEND Summit to be the space she once needed—a place where healing, growth, and real connection come together. Through her signature approach, Harriet blends lived experience, compassionate guidance, and practical tools to help women go from simply surviving to fully thriving.
She’s also the voice behind the You Are Not Your Trauma® podcast and the author of Stop Stopping Your Success and the You Are Not Your Trauma® Healing Journal. With every resource she creates, Harriet is committed to reminding women that their past doesn’t define them—and that healing is just the beginning of becoming who they were always meant to be.
