What’s Possible Inside
The Nova

Self-Trust & Bold Authenticity

Take off the mask. Be fully seen, fully celebrated.

When you’re held in safe community, self-trust becomes your foundation — and fear loses its grip.

→ This is where your truth begins.

Thrive in Wholeness

You're done hustling for worth.

Here, we redefine success — not by what you achieve, but by how whole you feel.

→ Thrive in every part of your life — without compromise.

Collective Empowerment

We rise together.

In this space, your dreams don’t compete — they multiply.

Surround yourself with women & non-binary leaders who amplify your voice and your vision.

→ We rise together — not alone.

Embodied Leadership

You don’t need to lead like anyone else.

Your inner wisdom is your compass — not the old rulebook.

Here, you’ll rise with clarity, courage, and the confidence to guide from within.

→ Lead from your truth, not from a script.

Our Agreements

These aren’t rules — they’re the shared commitments that shape how we show up, hold space, and rise together. They’re the heart of The Nova.

Respectful Listening

We listen with openness while withholding judgment and share mindfully so every voice has a space to be heard.

Inclusivity & Non-judgement

We welcome all identities and perspectives, honoring diversity with respect and care.

Cultivating Connection

We prioritize relationships, protect confidentiality, and create a safe environment for all.

Courageous Participation

We show up authentically, honor our boundaries, and support others in doing the same

A Star Was Born

The Nova™ origin wasn’t just personal—it was a collective awakening.

The Nova began with one truth: we’re done pretending.

Done compromising our authenticity.
Done checking boxes that don’t light us up.

This movement started with me, Melissa (Mo)  Bauknight, but it belongs to all of us. I kept hearing the same thing from women and non-binary individuals: “I’m tired. I want more. I want to feel seen, supported, and free to be all of me.”

After two decades of creating spaces for people to gather, grow, and lead, I knew what was missing: a home for ambitious, soul-led women to rise together—not alone.

The Nova is that home.

A global community of bold, brilliant humans rewriting the rules and building a life aligned with truth.

Here, you don’t have to shrink. You don’t have to hustle. You get to be—and become.

“Together, we get to co-create an ecosystem for ambitious professional women & non-binary people.”
