We're creating a place for the Empowerment Studio to hang out that isn't on Facebook.

Welcome to the official Empowerment Studio community, a gender-inclusive space where we can finally hang out away from the prying eyes of F*cebook! Here, you'll find a much cozier, more social version of the Empowerment Studio facebook group.

In addition to our vibrant community space, our membership gets you access to a whole bunch of community sub-groups (grand opening August 17, 2022) -- including a space for the magickal folx among us, a spot where we can post our not-censored-for-facebook-bots sexy selfies, plus we've now got a central hub for our Empowerment Studio Book Club, and more! We'll be introducing additional events and community experiences as we go on; who knows what trouble we'll get up to together?

We're so excited to welcome the most amazing, kind humans into this iteration of the Empowerment Studio with us. We are making this space TOGETHER -- a space that is inclusive, and empowering, and deeply generous. I'm so glad you're here.

We’re aiming to make your experience here awesome. We want you to get five key things from Empowerment Studio:

• meet humans who are deeply kind, and build community with them
• give yourself permission to wear what you want to wear, and to be who you want to be
• find a little inspiration, indulge in thought-provoking conversations, and connect beyond your own perspective each and every day
• make more moneyyyyyy (no, like, truly, we want your time in here to be so abundant - for you to spend time gently building your relationship with your money and making space for more of it to come in; for you to get to know yourself and your own needs and wants SO WELL that you can't help but flourish and ask for that raise, get that promotion, make that connection, do that dream thing; for you to be surrounded by magnetic humans who lift you up as you lift them up -- a rising tide lifts all Empowerment Studio members, isn't that how the expression goes??)
• figure out what you need, and begin asking for it, and then start having more and more of your needs AND WANTS met, and realize that after some time here, your life is bigger and more expansive and more full of possibility than you ever dreamed it could be

When you become a member of this community, you get access to all of our groups, events, and community spaces. And all those additional layers of community and connection is where the magic happens. This iteration of the Empowerment Studio will be a quieter, more intimate space to connect with amazing humans -- to co-create a really generous and kind world. 

Financially supporting our Empowerment Studio membership space means you get to bring to life all sorts of new opportunities in the Empowerment Studio, like our community groups, events, and more.

You can look at the monthly price tag on this community in a couple ways -- you can view it like it's a Netflix subscription of sorts, where there's a service you see value in, and you decide to pay a monthly price to get access to it. 

And there's this other way of looking at it, where you can say -- I really love and believe in the work the Empowerment Studio is doing, that Kinzie and their team are bringing to my life, and to this world. And I want to help make it possible to CONTINUE doing, so that it can grow and reach more people and bring more kindness into this world. The need for sustainability is real, and you're helping make that happen! 

Whatever the reason, we hope you'll see the value in being a financially contributing member, and really, super hope you'll join us.

How's this membership-contributed money used? 

Your support makes it possible to:

• Host incredible Empowerment Studio events for low- or no-cost to community members, 
• Run this platform where we can connect in a space that is ours, 
• Support the studio where we photograph Empowerment Boudoir Sessions and host community events, 
• Pay me (Kinzie) and my team for the work we do to make it all run.

Hi, I’m Kinzie!

I’m the founder of the Empowerment Studio, an online community built to empower and inspire humans like you. 

I also own Empowerment Photographer, a boudoir photography studio in Kansas City, MO, where I guide my clients to see their bodies in revolutionary and deeply kind ways.  

My job is huge and hard to describe! Nearly impossible to quantify! BUT I'M GONNA TRY. Here are some of the things I do: 

• I create platforms (both online and in-person) for meaningful connection to take place. 
• I hold space for humans to grow: I make it as safe as possible for people to mess up out loud (this is really the best way to learn!), while also prioritizing the experience of folks who have historically not had safe spaces to hang in
• I bring excellent humans together, both the ones who are in the Empowerment Studio, and the team that runs it for all of you. (I also pull together a solid group of humans for a potluck but that's neither here nor there...)
• I photograph people and offer them the chance to see themselves more lovingly, and with kindness. 
• I lead EPIC community challenges -- including the well-loved #SelfietoSelfLove Empowerment Challenge (check the news story here!) - where members learn to see themselves in a new light through several days of guided selfie work. 
• I make people feel like they are at home, and can be all-the-way themselves with us. 

If you believe in deep, inclusive community that will change the lives of the humans who participate in it;
If you believe in body liberation and fat positivity;
If you believe in fucking up the status quo and smashing the patriarchy and taking down white supremacy and capitalism with it;
If you believe in supporting artists and trail-blazers and magic-makers and trouble-starters....

I invite you in. Come join us. Lead this revolution with me.

Thank you for supporting this community-driven mission. Thank you thank you thank you, from the bottom of my heart.

Now let's burn it all down in love.
