Spirit, Sand, and Sea
"The integration of our experiences however frightening or difficult, transforms us, creating authentic personal growth."
​
Rosanna María Salcedo, Founder
Hi! I'm Rosanna-
I help people lead themselves bravely by listening inward, making meaning of change, and turning reflection into grounded, compassionate action.
Whatever your life circumstances, being a woman carries unique challenges.
We are taught to care for others first — to manage careers, nurture families, and hold communities together — often without noticing how much of ourselves we leave behind. The exhaustion creeps in quietly, until our bodies and spirits remind us we are running on empty.
Spirit, Sand & Sea, inspired by my forthcoming book Leading Bravely, is a space to reclaim yourself. To honor the fractures that shape you, and the beauty that can rise from them.
Here, you are invited to pause, reflect, and return to your life with courage, clarity, and wholeness.
​
For women navigating loss or transition
Are you struggling with transition or loss?​
​
Are you overwhelmed with fear, anxiety, or grief, and feel stuck?​
​
Throughout our lives, we walk through seasons of stress and uncertainty. These moments can leave us feeling unmoored, but they also hold the possibility of transformation.
Personal development coaching provides a safe space to pause, reflect, and return to yourself.
Together we will:
​
-
Explore the fractures that have shaped you and uncover the wisdom they carry.
-
Reconnect to your identity beyond roles, titles, or circumstances.
-
Develop practices — reflection, journaling, creative expression — that nurture healing and resilience.
-
Find clarity in transitions so that you can move forward with courage and confidence.
This is not about striving harder. It’s about honoring your wholeness and learning to rise from within.
​
For women who seek to become transformative leaders
Are you navigating change in your career or leadership role?
Do you feel stuck, burned out, or misaligned with your job or role?
Are stress and anxiety undermining your health and effectiveness at work?
​
Leadership doesn’t have to mean depletion. Professional coaching, grounded in the principles of Leading Bravely, helps women leaders pursue ambitious goals without sacrificing their health or sense of self.
Together we will:
​
-
Clarify your values and align them with your leadership decisions.
-
Build resilience and presence to lead with confidence in times of uncertainty.
-
Develop strategies for a balance between professional goals and personal well-being.
-
Redefine success on your own terms — moving from performance to authenticity, from urgency to presence.​
​
Leadership is not about the seat you hold. It’s about the space you create for integrity, courage, and growth.
THE POWER OF COMMUNITY
Quiet Courage Circles
You might consider a Quiet Courage Circle if you…
​
-
Feel nourished by listening and sharing in community.
-
Want intentional space and time to nurture yourself.
-
Are seeking a circle of women also committed to personal growth.
-
Wish to strengthen the connection between body, mind, and spirit.
​
​The Quiet Courage Circle
There are seasons in life when something inside us asks for attention—not urgency, not fixing, but presence. The Quiet Courage Circle is a virtual journaling group created for those moments. It is a reflective space for people navigating change, leadership, loss, transition, or quiet inner questioning—who want to reconnect with their inner wisdom and move forward with greater clarity and courage.
This is not a productivity group.
It is not therapy.
It is not about doing more.
It is an invitation to pause, reflect, and listen inward—together.
What This Circle Offers
Each gathering is gently structured and spacious by design. Together, we will:
-
Engage in guided journaling prompts that encourage self-awareness and meaning-making
-
Practice slowing down and listening beneath the noise of daily life
-
Reflect on patterns, questions, and transitions with curiosity rather than judgment
-
Share (optionally) in a supportive, confidential group space
-
Strengthen trust in your own inner voice and lived wisdom
You are welcome to speak—or simply write and listen. Silence is honored here.​
​
Who This Circle Is For
​
The Quiet Courage Circle is for you if:
-
You are navigating a season of transition, loss, or reorientation
-
You carry responsibility or leadership and need a space just for you
-
You are drawn to journaling but want consistency, depth, or community
-
You value reflection, presence, and thoughtful conversation
-
You are seeking clarity—not quick answers
No prior journaling experience is required.
​
What Makes This Space Different
This circle is grounded in the belief that leading bravely begins with learning to listen inward. Rather than offering formulas or prescriptions, the Quiet Courage Circle centers:
-
reflection over performance
-
presence over pressure
-
wisdom over advice
The courage we practice here is quiet—the courage to tell the truth to ourselves, to make meaning of our experiences, and to choose how we move forward.

TESTIMONIALS
"Rosanna is an amazing facilitator. She really knows how to strike the right balance between giving people the time and space to explore their feelings and gently guiding them to discover what lies beneath the surface."
— Marilyn Valdes, Retreat Participant
"Since coaching with Rosanna, I have learned everyday to put myself first. To learn how to say NO and not feel guilty. I can now assess situations and ask why I allow people and old rules to mandate my actions and emotions."
— Coaching Client
“Rosanna was a safe sounding board for me as I explored issues related to my multiple identities - a professional woman, a professional of color, a mother, a mother to mixed-race children, living and navigating in predominantly white spaces.”
