You want to turn your dream creative life into reality.
You love photography, writing, storytelling, the very act of creating. But you’ve stopped short of claiming this “pipe-dream” of yours because you believe you’re not qualified enough or talented enough to seriously pursue it. And the world largely confirms your beliefs. In fact, it’s built to uphold them.
It’s time for this to end. Period.
Genius Womxn: The Circle is the place where brilliant womxn creators go to claim their dreams, get support, take action, and build their dream creative lives.
If you have a creative dream—even if it feels like a hopeless fantasy right now—and you want to make it into reality, The Circle is for you.
Womxn are socialized to believe we are not talented enough, smart enough, or deserving enough to have bold creative dreams, which means many of us are carrying crushing doubts and questioning our worth. We also don’t see too many womxn around us living big creative lives and most of our friends are NOT on this path… so we often wonder if we’re even sane to want what we want.
This leaves very few womxn pursuing their creative dreams seriously, as we keep playing small, trapped in a scarcity mindset, terrified to take a leap of faith, paralyzed into inaction.
At Genius Womxn, we’re on a mission to change all that.
Our mission is to help 200 womxn creators step into their brilliance and live bold creative lives.
How? Enter: Genius Womxn: The Circle.
The Circle is an online membership community for womxn with big creative dreams.
Are we a match?
Should you join The Circle? Is it for you?
We’re looking for a particular kind of a womxn creator. Let’s find out if we are right for each other!
(It’s like Tinder but without the you-know-what pictures...)
🔸You have a passion for traveling and connecting with people from different cultures and backgrounds
(we believe that womxn who travel this way approach the world with a warm embrace, are open to diverse viewpoints, and fundamentally believe that we are all equal human beings)
🔸 You want to be in community with other brilliant womxn creators
🔸You dream about a full, rich, beautiful creative life in which you pursue your creative projects without fear
🔸You are ready to do the work to make your dream creative life a reality
(the miracle of achieving your dreams only happens if we do the work, no exception)
🔸You want to lift up other womxn in The Circle and grow together
(this means dedicating time and space to engage with and support our members)
🔸You are kind, awesome, and coachable
(that is, you’re ready to do the work; see #4)
🔸You are actively anti-racist
If that’s you—amazing! You’re in the right place.
You’re going to LOVE The Circle and we’d love to have you join us.
Why aren’t you there yet?
Let’s discuss.
Hey, I’m Yulia, founder of Genius Womxn.
For so long, I did what I was supposed to do. I got an MBA. I got a well-paying job. I climbed the ladder. I did my weekly workouts and led team meetings. I paid my car payment and my rent on time. But I realized very quickly that in doing so, I was living someone else’s life, not my own. In the vision I had for MY life, I was a creator. I worked on projects that light up my fire, had freedom to live where I want, and felt like a fully realized creative human.
So four years ago, I quit that job. I didn’t have much money. I didn’t have any direction. I had no support or connections in the field I was after, travel journalism. All the odds were stacked against me “making it” here. If I could do it then, you can absolutely do it now.
The Circle can help.
Whatever is stopping you from turning your dream creative life into reality—whether it’s your shaky confidence, lack of community or support, knowledge gaps when it comes to your own gifts or steps you need to take next, even a flaky mindset about your own worth or about money (I’ve been there!), The Circle has what you need.
We are determined to help you step into your brilliance.
WHAT BRILLIANT WOMXN CREATORS SHARE IN COMMON
We’ve shared our knowledge with hundreds of womxn on a creative path. When it comes to achieving your dream creative goals, we’ve seen what works and what doesn’t.
Brilliant womxn creators have clarity in their vision.
This means knowing where you’re headed and why you’re headed there. It means having a dream so detailed you can touch it, feel it, taste it.
Brilliant womxn creators know what they have to offer.
They get to know their own gifts, strengths, and weaknesses. Knowing thyself means knowing your worth—and shedding doubt and impostor syndrome in the process.
Brilliant womxn creators actively work on shaping their mindset.
We’re all humans and we all have fears. What separates these badass womxn from others is the courage to look their fears straight in the eye and step out of hiding and into the light.
Brilliant womxn creators aren’t afraid to ask for help.
No village (or megacity) was ever built by one person. And if it was, it didn’t last very long. Brilliant womxn creators recognize when they need to ask for help—and they go for it.
Brilliant womxn creators have a place to go where they can share ideas, get support from people they trust and respect, and rise together in a community.
It’s true—humans are social animals. We’re really stronger together. Everyone needs their circle—a place to lift you up when you’re feeling down and get you inspired for what’s to come.
“I joined The Circle to become part of a group of like-minded womxn who want the same things from life that I want—travel and adventure plus a fulfilling career. To have a community whose members support your efforts can be invaluable, especially for those of us who travel a lot and/or may not have anyone who "gets it." I don't have anyone in my life who understands my goals or vision for my life, so I am glad this community is here for me.”
Everything you need to turn your dream creative life into reality.
Coaching. Training. Focus. Opportunities.
A brilliant community of womxn creators that’s got your back.
The Circle brings it all together for you.
Benefits of joining The Circle.
Here’s how we help you rise up.
You get direct access to Yulia Denisyuk (Genius Womxn founder, award-winning, published travel photographer and writer, entrepreneur, self-made brilliant womxn creator) for a fraction of what it usually costs to have 1:1 coaching calls with her.
You get focus with a monthly theme that explores one specific area each month, like getting to know your strengths or finding your worthy.
You get accountability towards your goals that sets the tone for your entire month and ensures you make progress.
You get clarity with a bi-weekly travel media opportunities list curated by Yulia from an overwhelming ocean of things you could be pursuing.
You get access to coaching with a monthly group call where we cover your specific challenges (we call it being in a Love Seat) and a variety of exclusive workshops on themes like divine femininity or developing your purpose.
You get commitment with bi-weekly co-working sessions where we show up and get to work on our dreams.
You get to rise up together in a community of other brilliant womxn creators with similar aspirations so all that energy and determination can rub off on you.
You learn how to make worthy decisions instead of guilt-fear-and-doubt-ridden decisions, shift your behavior, and make progress toward your dream.
Another big benefit: The Circle is a relaxed, flexible situation. No long-term commitment. Though we recommend at minimum a three month membership, you can cancel your monthly membership anytime. Just give us 14 days notice.
Very little risk. You pretty much can’t lose. Try it out for less than $2 a day and see if this is your thing (we’re pretty sure that you’ll love it).
Take a peek inside The Circle.
What exactly happens inside Genius Womxn: The Circle?
Here’s a peek:
You hang out inside a dedicated website and a discussion forum (NOT Facebook). Pop in once a day, once a week, however often you want. Get to know other members in The Circle and ask questions. Each month is dedicated to a specific theme and all the content is recorded so you’ll never miss a thing.
Monthly Focus Workshop, first Monday of every month at 2 pm EST. We’ll reveal a theme we’ll be focusing on throughout the month, like getting to know your strengths or finding your worthy.
Ready, Set, Goal accountability process. Bring your dreams, get clarity, set goals, get input, and keep moving forward.
The Love Seat Group Coaching third Thursday of every month at 2 pm EST with an opportunity to dig into and get support on your specific challenges of the moment.
Dedicated co-working sessions every second and fourth Tuesday of the month (times vary) where we show up, commit, and work on our dream projects in community with others.

Icebreaker parties and other activities where we post questions, get clarity, and support each other.
You get all of this for less than your daily cup of chai.
The Circle Special Invite Membership is $77 per month
(you can cancel anytime with 14 days notice) or $693 if you commit upfront for 12 months (you get 3 free months, save $231 that way—and get an awesome bonus, too!)
The Circle is NOT a Facebook Group
There are tons of communities out there being hosted on Facebook Groups. We get it… Facebook is omnipresent. We want to do this a little bit differently. The Circle is an exclusive space that’s NOT hosted on Facebook. We’re looking for focus, not constant feed distractions.
True community
We’re looking for people who want to engage. Our people want to rise up and thrive together and they are committed to doing the work it takes to get there. This means that you’re not just passing by The Circle when you’re on your feed. You go there with intention: to make your dreams happen, step by tiny step.
Focus
Facebook feeds are so 2018. It’s time to reimagine what an online community could look like. The Circle has it all: structured resources and a space for you to discuss and get feedback on projects. It fosters focus and intent to make things happen: two things you’ll need on this journey!
Connection
It’s a fact: we’re starved for connection. Yes, Zoom can link us to others around the world, but it’s not about the how — it’s about the who. Who do you want to surround yourself with? The Circle is not a random compilation of people. It’s a curated community of like-minded hearts. You belong here.
Meaning
We do not need more information. We need someone to help us make meaning out of all the information we’re bombarded with every day. In The Circle, you will not get bombarded with anything (besides unabashed support). It’s your place to go to recharge, connect, and reinvigorate your dreams.
Upcoming monthly programming
Each month, we’ll focus on a specific theme to unpack and process
December: Unpack 2020 & Smart-map 2021
January: Finding Your Worthy
February: Working With Fears
March: The Body Compass
Your brilliant co-conspirator is already in The Circle.
Finding a friend who gets what you’re trying to do with your dream creative life is incredible.
She’ll keep you honest when your fears get the best of you and keep you on track when you’ll want to give up. The comraderie that our members experience alone is worth joining The Circle.
There are so many memberships and clubs for womxn creators out there. We know you’ve got other options.
Our Circle is the most nurturing. And the most fun.
Our members are not afraid to get vulnerable with each other and cheer on each other even when it's hard. We are smart, well-traveled, passionate, humble, and kind.
If these are the kind of womxn you want in your circle, you belong here. Join us!

This is where we get to show you our gushing reviews 🙈

❝ I said to myself: I don’t need this. But then I was like, No you do. You need the accountability. You need someone who can be in your corner and who can cheer on you and help you get stuff done. You’ve been alone for all this time and it’s really easy to just be in the shadow. Now it’s time to step out and be in the light.”
— Monica in Alberta, The Circle

❝ I joined The Circle so I don’t lose that momentum or get discouraged if things take a little longer than I hope. Looking forward to getting to know some like-minded womxn."
— Vanessa in Ottawa, The Circle

❝ Being a Genie taught me to be braver and bolder than I ever thought possible. I was missing those reminders in my life-so here I am in The Circle! I'm so happy to be back in such a joyful, supportive, energetic space and really hope we all continue to light one another up."
— Hannah in London, The Circle
✨
❝ By aligning with all of you also being brave enough to give a creative endeavor a go, I'm hoping this space will be a way for me to get over my fear of sharing my work and get some things published."
— Ashley in Florida, The Circle

FAQs
Is Genius Womxn: The Circle for womxn only?
The Circle was created for womxn and their supporters.
We believe it’s important for all womxn to have a space where we can support each other and discuss the challenges we face while going after our dreams.
You are more than welcome to join us if you are non-binary, male or of another gender identification other than ‘womxn,’ love our mission and want to be in community with us.
I’m just getting started and don’t know what my creative dream could look like. Is The Circle too “advanced” for me?
No! We welcome womxn creators at all stages of their creative journeys. If you have a creative dream—whether it’s photography, writing, storytelling, or building your own blogging empire—The Circle will get you just the boost of confidence you need to get started.
We also want you in The Circle because it’s so, so important to know you’re not alone when you’re just getting started. Trust us, we’ve been there!
I’m an established creative “entity” already. Is The Circle going to be too “basic” for me?
Let us ask you: are you feeling supported in your journey? Are your doubts and worries under control? Do you have a community of womxn you can turn to when you’re facing challenges? If not, then The Circle is not too basic for you. It’s exactly what you need to fully step into your brilliance, and we’d love to have you!
As a seasoned creative, you’ll get inspired by your peers and learn a ton from our monthly themes and coaching practices. You might learn a thing or two from the womxn in The Circle who are just starting out, too!
You’ve been doing this whole creative thing for a while, which means you’ve been around long enough to know that it is hard.
Simply put: having a community that gets your struggles and provides incredible support is a must for success no matter where you are in this journey.
I’m an introvert. I don’t really like group settings.
So is Yulia! That’s why our Circle is low-pressure, embrace-all, come-as-you-are situation. We’re not going to force you to chat with us on video or show up for every session (although we’d love to see you for sure!). We know that each person’s energy ebbs and flows and we respect that.
We also know that even introverts need human connection with likeminded people, especially in the age of COVID. You belong here, and you’ll be inspired by what the other womxn creators in The Circle are doing.
Lastly, there’s a reason why creative communes gather people who want to unleash their creativity under the same roof. When you surround yourself with people on a similar path, it inspires you to become even more determined to stay on it, too.
I’m not based in the US. Can I join?
Absolutely! Our Circle members come from all corners of the world. The more global, the merrier. And if you can’t always join our scheduled sessions, don’t worry: all sessions are recorded so you’ll never miss a thing, no matter what time zone you’re in.
Can I get a refund if I’m not enjoying The Circle?
We don’t offer refunds, however if you’re on a monthly plan you can cancel anytime—just give us 14 days notice.
What happens after I join?
Almost immediately after joining us, you’ll receive a welcome email with an invitation to join our private community and access the member site. So, once you commit, you’re in The Circle immediately!
I have another question that’s not addressed here?
