Hi Friend!
I’m Amy Nicole Cohen
Whether someone recommended me or you discovered my work through an event, blog, or a shared connection, I’m thrilled you’re here! This site is filled with inspiration and insights to help you step into your next level of greatness—seriously. Here’s a little guide to get you started, so we can create something amazing together.
I’m Amy. An entrepreneur, event expert, and community builder dedicated to helping you create a business and life that empowers, inspires, and truly lights you up.
ABOUT ME
I’m Amy —a small-town girl who went to college in my early twenties and turned my passion for beauty, community, and connection into a multi-million-dollar business, while my career took me to live in New York and Los Angeles, for over fifteen years. I’ve built thriving communities, one of over 4,200 artists and alumni, another for ambitious entrepreneurs, while expanding into hosting events and retreats that are purposeful and that sell OUT! My passion is bringing people together—not only to dream big but to take action and create an authentic life.
I don’t have a secret sauce, there’s no gate-keeping, it’s been one key factor: Showing Up! I have put myself in the rooms, taken a seat at the table, and decided to say yes when staying home was so much easier, and those moments have propelled me to living my best and happiest life.
I will share all of my knowledge and experience with you! Whether I’m mentoring ambitious entrepreneurs, facilitating conferences, or hosting luxury retreats, my mission is clear: to create spaces and places that we can connect, learn, and thrive – together!
HERE'S HOW I MIGHT BE ABLE TO HELP

I’ll give you the strategy from idea to execution, the documents you need, contracts, and more.
Want to start or grow your business but don’t know where to begin?
I’ll give you the roadmap to success, from mindset to marketing.

Craving more balance, fulfillment, and joy in your life?
I’ll be BTS cheering you on, every step of the way, to your well-deserved success’
FUELED BY AMBITION, DRIVE WITH PURPOSE
I wasn’t born knowing how to create luxury retreats or grow a thriving beauty empire.
I built my business from the ground up—without investors or fancy degrees. It was all about hard-work, connections and authenticity.
I grew up in a small town in Canada and moved to a big city (Calgary) to go to college, and started my first business a few years later, which failed before its second year. I had a love for beauty and helping others, so when I moved to Los Angeles, I kept showing up with my makeup kit and glammed all over the city, and started building up my portfolio as a professional makeup artist.
I will say that one thing I learned early on with my failed business and many challenges over 20 years of entrepreneurship, is that you don’t need to know it all or have the perfect circumstances to start or succeed, you need the WILL to LEARN and the DESIRE to keep GOING when things don’t work out or challenges come your way.
Simply put, Keep Showing Up!

SHOWING UP PODCAST
I decided to make a commitment and start a podcast — yes, like so many others! But, before I do that, I’ll finish my book.
As an entrepreneur, the importance of SHOWING UP has shaped my journey in profound ways. It’s about putting myself in the right rooms, taking action, and embracing opportunities. But what does it mean for you? I want to explore this concept on a deeper level—what SHOWING UP looks like for ambitious entrepreneurs, like you!
Alongside the podcast, I’m excited to share that I’m working on the SHOWING UP book, an empowering blend of real-life lessons, a roadmap for entrepreneurial success that worked for me, heartfelt stories, and purpose-driven inspiration. The book is a mix of practical advice, motivational energy, and a personal look into how I embraced the power of showing up in every facet of life and business. This book is designed to ignite ambition, build confidence, and guide you in showing up authentically for your dreams.
