Create the life of your dreams, become a leader in your industry, and build a business that sets you free at Freedom Fest 2024. Did you know that your ticket to Freedom Fest also includes an entire year of coaching, accountability, and support after the retreat?

We know how lonely (and exhausting) it can get running your own business and being the boss of ‘all the things’. That’s why we created Freedom Fest, a three-day planning retreat supported by a twelve-month Goals Club that takes you on a journey of growth with a group of women who will become your new besties in business, otherwise known as your Festie Besties ;-)

Your ticket to Freedom Fest includes:

  • The live three-day business and life planning retreat in November

  • The Goals Club program working in a small group with your assigned coach for an entire year to ensure your plans become your new way of working and living

  • The Ultimate Freedom Planning system you can use to transform your life, leadership and business year after year after year

Freedom Fest Three Ways


Every year we serve up Freedom Fest three ways so you can pick the package that’s right for you!

Goals Club Options…

No matter how you choose to do Freedom Fest your ticket includes our famous 10-month Goals Club coaching and accountability program.

It’s one thing to take time out at a retreat or conference to learn new things, establish new goals, and create a plan for the future, but then what? 90% of the time the magic stays in the room and is completely forgotten within a week, of if you’re lucky a month.

The Goals Club part of your ticket to freedom ensures that this won't happen to you, not on our watch!

We run two types of Goals Clubs®

1. VIP Goals Club in person at The Life Design Studio in Plympton South Australia on the first Friday of each month from Feb to November.

2. Online Goals Club live in Zoom on the first Thursday of each month from February to November.

2025 Goals Club Groups:

VIP Morning Goals Club - 9.30 am - 12.30 pm

VIP Afternoon Goals Club - 1.30 pm - 4.30 pm

Online Goals Club - 9.30 am - 11.30 am


NEW for 2025

If you live in Adelaide and purchased the Online Escape, but you really want all the benefits of being in the room with Jodie and your fellow Goals Club members, and having a chance to win all the VIP prizes each month now you can!

In 2025 for the first (and last) time we’re offering a VIP Goals Club upgrade for a one-time payment of $1500.

* The VIP Goals Club upgrade is subject to availability and only available when purchasing the Online Escape bundle.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it cost extra to join the 10-month Goals Club®?

Absolutely not, your Goals Club program with the coaching and accountability is included.

What is the difference between the VIP Ticket and the Normal Ticket?

VIP Tickets give you the exclusive in room experience where you will be one of only 60 women who get to work with Jodie and her team of experts ion the room for three days.

You can attend as a VIP with the True Escape package which includes three nights’ accommodation, morning, and evening meals (Friday night awards dinner sold separately) plus a bunch of extra VIP gifts.

The Online Escape package gives you access to all the gold of Freedom Fest from the comfort of your own home. We ship the goodie bag to you, and a dedicated Goals Club group and coach to keep you accountable for a whole year.

What if I can’t make all the Online Escape live stream sessions?

No problem, you’ll have all the recordings in your members area to catch up on and your coach will work with you to ensure you catch up.

Do you cater for special dietary requirements?

While we do our best to work with Adelaide Hills Convention Centre to cater for most dietary requirments (Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Vego/Vegan and allergies) due to the nature of the event we’re unable to cater to super special diets.

Do I get to choose which Goals Club®?

You’ll be allocated to a Goals Club depending on the Freedom Fest ticket you purchased.

VIP True Escape ticket holders will be invited to work with Jodie Nevid as their coach on the first Fridays of the months Feb-Nov at The Life Design Studio, Plympton SA (or livestream for interstate)

VIP Day Escape ticket holders will be invited to work with Sue Giacobbe as their coach on the second Fridays of the months Feb-Nov at The Life Design Studio, Plympton SA.

Online Escape Goals Club® will be a monthly two-hour session with a certified Seven Effect Coach in the second week of the month.

Can I see the Goals Club Schedule?

Yes of course, here it is… FYI, Goals Club® sessions are held once a month on the first or second week of each month.

What if I can’t make all the Goals Club sessions in the new year?

The more Goals Club® session you attend the better your results, so we encourage you to lock your Goals Club® meetings into your diary as soon as you know them. If for some crazy reason you skip a session, you’ll get a message from your coach to ensure you stay on track and keep accountable to your actions.

What happens if I get sick, or can't attend?

Freedom Fest is live streamed so if you happen to be hit by the dreaded COVID, or any other sickness, you can still join in from the comfort of your own home. Plus, you get lifetime access to the recordings of the entire three-day retreat as an online course.

What’s your refund policy?

At The Seven Effect® we guarantee results, but only if you show up and do the work…

Unfortunately there is no magic pill or silver bullet to set you free, but we can confidently promise our system works when you do.

Therefore, if you go through the program and implement the steps and find that it just doesn’t work, we offer you a full refund.

If, however you change your mind before the event you can either transfer your ticket to another person, or if it’s within 2 months of the event you can get a credit note to use on any other Seven Effect® program, service, or event. Due to lock in contracts with the venue no credit notes are avalaible within 2 months of event start.

Big love and a massive thanks to our partners


The Freedom Revolution simply would not be possible without the backing of our incredible event partners. They help us make Freedom Fest and Freedom Awards the most magical time of the year for women in business.
