SHE-EO Unhinged Live 2026: South Bay Business Conference for Female Founders
South Bay founders have a new event on the calendar this fall. SHE-EO Unhinged Live 2026 lands at the Shade Hotel in Redondo Beach on October 8, bringing together 100 female founders for a full day of business strategy, sales, visibility and leadership. Local Anchor’s own founder and editor in chief, Laura Stotland, will be part of the lineup, joining a panel conversation on community and marketing.
What Is SHE-EO Unhinged Live
SHE-EO Unhinged Live is a one day business conference built for founders who have already proven they can build a business and are now ready to build one that runs without needing them in the middle of every decision. The event was created by business and systems coach Shelby St. Clair, founder of The Ascension Method, a framework that pairs business strategy with the identity and leadership work that helps that strategy actually stick.
The day is organized around three focus areas: aligning and simplifying the business, activating sales and visibility, and amplifying the founder’s leadership so growth stops depending on constant personal effort.
Meet the Host and Speakers
Shelby St. Clair, Host and Creator of The Ascension Method
Shelby St. Clair has been building businesses since 2012 and now runs her own company in roughly 12 hours a week while homeschooling her two kids. She created SHE-EO Unhinged to bring business systems, sales strategy and founder leadership work into the same room.
Featured Speakers
The main stage lineup includes Adriana Gourian-Tehrani, a breathwork detox facilitator and Reiki master, Brianna Rose, a somatic business coach and CEO of Light Leader Collective, Roxy Lee, a business psychic and creator of The 360 Method, and Kelly Pender, a wealth identity expert and founder of the RICHCODED Movement.
The Embodied SHE-EO Panel, Featuring Local Anchor’s Laura Stotland
The day also includes a panel discussion with four speakers covering identity, visibility, healing and community. The panel includes Terrie Huberman, an intuition specialist and author of Overcoming Overthinking, Christa Dickson, a photographer and storytelling coach, Dani Margeaux, a Reiki teacher and host of the Magic Exists podcast, and Laura Stotland, founder and editor in chief of Local Anchor.
Stotland brings a South Bay perspective to the conversation, having grown Local Anchor from a local moms group into a full community media platform. Her segment of the panel focuses on community building and marketing, drawing on years of experience in media, digital strategy and revenue growth.

Why South Bay Founders Should Consider Attending
For local business owners, SHE-EO Unhinged Live offers a rare chance to spend a full day with other founders working through the same growing pains: too much on one person’s plate, systems that create more work instead of less, and the challenge of stepping back without the business slowing down. With a South Bay voice on the panel in Laura Stotland, the event also gives Local Anchor readers a direct line to someone who has built a local platform from the ground up right here in their own community.
