Ready to take massive action on your next chapter?
Are you looking for mentorship with Grace, accountability, a peer network of like-minded creative entrepreneurs, AND the discipline to make it happen? Do you want to integrate the practical and inspiration?
Let’s make it count, together.
Forget trying to focus, get clear, and stay motivated all on your own. It’s time to make REAL progress on the goals that are most important to you. Imagine how it would feel to proactively create your next chapter with clarity and step boldly into all those goals that have been on your mind (and to-do list!) for years.
This is your opportunity to work intensively with Grace Kraaijvanger, Founder of The Hivery, to clarify and create YOUR massive impact...wherever you are and in the engaging format that works for these times.
Having trouble focusing, staying motivated, and figuring out what’s next?
It’s hard to find your path and build momentum alone. This Hivery Incubator mentorship + accountability program led by Grace Kraaijvanger is for you if you are ready to move your next chapter forward, and you have no intention of starting small. You have a project, a new business offering, a social impact project, a podcast idea, a career change, or a book that you are determined, called, and driven to act upon.
You certainly don’t want to do it alone. You want to be held accountable with a mastermind group that you trust and admire and learn from Grace and each other in group coaching sessions. You would love to work intensively alongside Hivery Founder, Grace Kraaijvanger, consistently each week to create a massive impact. You would also love to have a small group of peers who are on a similar path as your supportive accountability group.
You need structured support to make the impactful change you’re ready for!
MEET YOUR MENTOR
Hello to our seekers, writers, founders, change-agents, creatives, and brilliant ones,
I’m Grace Kraaijvanger
After a decade of leading The Hivery, a first-of-its-kind community for creating our next chapters, I’ve witnessed thousands of women go from lacking confidence and struggling to finally finding and activating their path. Over 800 women have participated in The Hivery Incubator, both online and in-person since its inception.
I have built successful businesses during the most challenging of times. I’ve launched my dream podcast, The Art of What’s Next, interviewed luminaries, hosted huge events, and I’m currently writing a book. I know what it takes to put your work out there authentically and profitably.
I’ve helped thousands of women start their businesses, write their books, get paid for their art, find their calling, get their confidence back, gain clarity, and get paid what they’re worth.
I do this work because I believe in the unique potential that lies in each and every one of us. It is my mission to provide you with the time, space, mentorship, guidance, community, and encouragement to bring your brilliant work forward into a world that needs it.
Why The Hivery Incubator?
I have met so many brilliant, talented, creative women who feel stuck, unsure what to do next, overwhelmed by endless advice, hiding behind perfectionism, and worrying that they’re too this or too that (old, young, inexperienced, late, unqualified, etc).
It’s not true. You have everything you need to create the path you want. You’re not lacking anything. What you DO need is a kind container of mentorship from someone who has been in your shoes, plus time and space to take action. And, accountability and support for when you get side-tracked or discouraged.
I’ve seen massive transformation and the formation of lifelong business relationships and friendships, books getting published, companies being launched, and founders scaling from an idea to what are now seven-figure businesses. I’ve witnessed the impact, collaboration, money, and friendship that our Incubator cohorts have created together, and this is my wish for you!
xo,
Grace

What is The Hivery Incubator?

WHAT OUR INCUBATOR GRADS ARE SAYING
“I’m blown away by how much came through the incubator process. It helped me clarify my stand and supported my progress on important goals which included launching an organization and making real progress on writing projects. I will definitely be back to do this impactful program again in the future.”

“The Hivery Incubator was exactly what I needed to take my business to the next level. The combination of: a supportive community of women sharing the same excitement and fears as I was experiencing; the structure of a weekly meeting and accountability structure on weekly goals; expert speakers on essential business practices made this program a highly productive and satisfying experience.”

Through the incubator I found my tribe of ambitious, heart centered women who are helping me forge the next chapter of my life’s work and a new set of powerful tools to support me along the way”.

“There's nothing quite like the magic of being with a group of people who you can go deep and be vulnerable with. The Incubator was the warm hug I needed to (finally!) finish my memoir and share my voice.”

Meet Laura Zavelson, Founder, Educator, and Mentor for Entrepreneurs, Incubator Alum 2023:
“I had an idea in my head that would just not go away. But I kept pushing it back down.
"It's too risky. You're too old. It won't work."
So in a final effort to move forward or abandon the idea once and for all, I joined the Hivery Incubator.
On a chilly January morning last year, I walked into a room full of women not knowing anyone but Grace.
Today, exactly one year later:
I've launched another company and my digital workshop is live.
My book (the idea that wouldn't go away) will launch later this year.
I joined the board of the company of one of the other participants, and I made deep friendships with a group of incredible women who I trust completely.
If you have a project, a book, an idea, or a business that you can't stop thinking about, and you wonder what would happen if you gave yourself permission to let it grow inside a safe and thoughtful space, I highly recommend The Hivery Incubator.“
FAQs
What if I don’t know what I’m working on?
Figuring out how to chart your next path takes time, space, and commitment. We think we can plot our next steps in the “in-between” time, but it leads to more overwhelm and confusion. Using The Hivery Incubator to chart your next chapter is a great way to get clear.
How will I feel connected to the group?
The relationships that develop between cohorts last far after the program ends. Having other people to test and validate your ideas with works when you’re willing to show up fully with a commitment to authenticity. You’ll also be accountable to your small-group who you will connect with each week (whether you’re floundering in the weeds or celebrating a victory).
What do people work on inside The Hivery Incubator?
We’ve had people launch businesses, create new offerings, write books, sell their art, start non-profits, make a career transition, and everything in between. It’s not WHAT you’re doing that matters. It’s the commitment to yourself and getting the support you need when you’re stuck, discouraged, or don’t know what step to take next.
How do I know if this is right for me?
You’ll flourish in this program if you want to feel connected, part of something bigger, and confident that you’re being intentional with your time. Maybe you’ve wanted to work with me at The Hivery but either you couldn’t make the commitment or you wanted a more intimate setting. You may be a little nervous. You may be unsure. But this is for certain…you can create forward progress.
Why is this cohort being held in-person?
We offer The Hivery Incubator in different formats, sometimes in-person and sometimes online. In this IRL format, we’re able to gather, cowork, hug, have a cuppa’ tea, and witness the magical interactions that happen when we get to gather in real life. We know that means some of you can’t participate geographically which is why we offer tons of virtual events in our membership. We typically only offer the Incubator once per year.
How much time will I need to invest?
You’ll want to set aside each Wednesday morning of the program from 10:00 am - 12:00 pm for focused, distraction-free master class time. Plus the TWO daylong retreats to kickoff and close. Outside of Wednesdays, allow 20-minutes each Monday to set your goals for the week, 15-minutes to check in via text or similar with your small group mid-week, and 20-minutes on Friday afternoon to report your progress for the week.
Ready to say heck yes to our next cohort?!?
