Audacity Lab Testimonials 2025

Audacity Lab is an enlightening retreat with like-minded individuals that walk away with the audacity to shift your mindset and get out of your own way. While attending this retreat, a fire was lit. Not only the urge to make a plan, but to take action. Shifting my mind-set and moving with intentions are ongoing practices. The monthly group check-ins have been a space of accountability, reflection, motivation to continue with my work to live my best life as the best version of me! Since the Audacity Lab I have been in a Season of Action with the plan I’ve created. I now have the AUDACITY to Live the Life I Desire!

I’ve done these (type of) sessions through different churches, but the Audacity Lab was different!!! I liked how Angela spoke with us on different topics then we were able to have breakout sessions with other women within the group. We tapped into each other, giving us a hands-on approach. Talking to my (retreat) partner, we were able to share pieces of our lives and encourage each other to be better version of ourselves. I left feeling full of gratitude for improvement. I loves me some Angela!!!

I learned a tremendous amount from the Audacity Lab. The Lab provided an efficient framework to establish my personal goals, develop an action plan and develop strategies for rethinking how to approach achieving those goals. One of the most potent things I learned – that I have passed on to others – is the dangers of allowing your adult life to be dictated by your four-year-old self. The self that may have internalized damaging messages that still replay in your head. That was a revelation! The Lab also facilitates ongoing accountability and community which aids refinement and achievement of stated goals. And it was FUN!  Can’t wait for the next session.

– Dr. Amari Dunn

Before attending the Audacity Lab with Dr. Wilbon, I was moving through life without a clear structure to dream, set goals, or stay accountable to the promises I make to myself—I was simply caught up in the business of life. The experience of the Lab shifted that. It reminded me who I choose to be comes first and I dare to dream and create from that centered place. Since the Lab, I feel more aligned and intentional. I now hold my integrity toward myself in the highest regard. It pushed me to face myself honestly. I realized what had been holding me back was myself while also daring me to envision something greater. The experience was both challenging and inspiring. After the retreat, being connected with a community of other women who are also “up to something” makes all the difference. The follow-up calls have kept me inspired and accountable. They’ve also helped me recognize that, while life is always happening, that’s not a reason to fall out of integrity with myself. I would recommend the Audacity Lab to any woman who feels called to something new, higher, or different but isn’t sure where to begin. Choosing to challenge yourself and truly introspect is one of the greatest forms of self-care.

The Audacity Lab experience was truly intentional and inspiring. From the moment I walked in, the room was filled with purpose, vision, and meaningful connection….not to mention the yummy apple Danishes (a girl has got to eat!).  It challenged me to think about my thinking and reflect on how I show up personally and professionally. The atmosphere felt uplifting, empowering, and authentic. Overall, it was a great experience, and I’m already looking forward to next year!  Bravo Dr. Angela Wilbon!!!!

The Audacity Lab Retreat was truly an empowering experience. It was a supportive space filled with like-minded individuals focused on growth and purpose. Even though we were all in different seasons of life, we were able to come together and encourage one another. The break-out sessions were helpful in allowing us to hold one another accountable with our future goals. Dr. Wilbon has the ability to see us where we are and gently lead us into our journey of finding our audacity to “be who we be!” I am looking forward to the next retreat and coming together with these wonderful women!!
