Building Our Collective Future: Why Our Values & Agreements Matter

At Soul & Strategy Collective, we’re not just building businesses—we’re building a new way of being in community. For women who have been overlooked, isolated, or asked to survive systems that were never designed for our flourishing, this work is more than entrepreneurship. It’s about returning to each other, to our roots, and to collective power.

Our Values: The Heartbeat of Our Community

Our core values—Love in Action, Radical Interdependence, Liberated Sovereignty, Sacred Restoration, Integrity, and Anti-Colonialism—aren’t just words on a page. They are living commitments. They guide how we show up, how we lead, and how we care for one another.

  • Love in Action reminds us to lead with softness and compassion, making space for healing and authentic connection.

  • Radical Interdependence means we rise by lifting each other, honoring the wisdom that emerges from collaboration and shared power.

  • Liberated Sovereignty is about reclaiming our right to self-trust and soul-led creation, free from extraction and burnout.

  • Sacred Restoration calls us to restore balance—with the earth, with the divine, and with each other.

  • Integrity demands we walk our talk, staying accountable and truthful even when it’s hard.

  • Anti-Colonialism is our commitment to resist domination, design liberatory systems, and honor land, lineage, and liberation.

  • Empathetic Honesty is the courage to speak truth with compassion—knowing that honesty delivered with care is the foundation for trust and transformation.

Community Agreements: Turning Values Into Practice

Values are only as powerful as the actions they inspire. That’s why we created our Community Agreements—to translate our values into daily practice. These agreements are not rules to police, but shared promises that help us build a space where everyone can show up fully, safely, and powerfully.

When you join Soul & Strategy Collective, you’re not just joining a network—you’re stepping into a circle of care and accountability.
Our agreements ask each of us to lead with love, practice honesty, welcome healthy disagreement, and honor boundaries. They remind us that disagreement is not a threat, but an opportunity for deeper understanding and growth. They call us to resist old patterns of domination and to co-create new ways of being together that are restorative and liberatory.

Why This Matters

Too often, women—especially women of color and immigrant founders—are asked to “fit in” to spaces that don’t see or honor us. Here, we do things differently. Our values and agreements are a shield and a beacon:

  • A shield that protects our community from harm, extraction, and burnout.

  • A beacon that lights the way toward collective flourishing, where every voice is valued and every member is empowered to lead.

It’s not always easy to live our values out loud. But together, we hold each other accountable. We repair when harm happens. We celebrate when we get it right. And we keep showing up, because we know that the future we’re building—one rooted in love, restoration, and shared power—is worth it.

An Invitation

If you’re ready to be part of a community that leads with heart, honors your wholeness, and believes in the power of collective liberation, we welcome you.
Bring your voice. Bring your vision. Bring your commitment to our agreements. Together, we are Soul & Strategy Collective—and together, we rise.
