The Creator Container
Where Emerging Female Founders Stop Performing and Start Belonging
A nine-month self-leadership cohort program for high-achieving creative women
A New Paradigm
It’s not about doing more, it's about becoming more — more of yourself.
People who thrive aren’t necessarily the most liked, the smartest, or the hardest working.
They're the people who know exactly who they are, and have the courage to build their life around it.
You don’t learn that from a book, or an expert, or from feeding AI — you learn that from taking risks and being in relationship with other human beings who see you.
In a world where more and more can be copied, automated, generated, and optimized, what got you here won’t get you there.
The best way forward is to become undeniably unapologetically yourself, and make the contributions only you can.
Become the woman only you can be, and build a meaningful, prosperous life around it.
“Know Thyself”
The problem isn’t that you’re not doing enough.
It’s that you’ve spent a lifetime learning to ignore your inner knowing.
You’ve been rewarded for falling in line instead of standing out.
You’ve been taught to value what you do and are good at, over who you are and what you want—or are uniquely positioned to create.
So you likely built a successful life on paper, but something still feels off or missing.
You do things you’re good at, but inside you feel uninspired, or your body is unwell.
You’re in relationships with people you’re not honest with, or feel disconnected from.
Maybe you know exactly what you want, but haven’t believed in your ability to make it happen.
So you play it safe. You follow someone else's formula of success and build a life around what makes sense to your mind instead of what feels true in your body.
And now you’ve forgotten who you are and how to trust yourself.
But you’re on the path to reclaim your parts, so you can lead intuitively and live more freely, courageously, and creatively.
Introducing…
The Creator Container by Emily
A live weekly program for high-achieving women to develop self-leadership, so they can start honoring their own emotional and physical needs, instead of pouring out care until they are empty.
For years, I've helped people heal their nervous systems and embody their personal history to discover new possibilities and rewrite their stories.
After a while I noticed something:
Women’s people-pleasing conditioning is the cause of many of their problems, and they need more than talk therapy, somatic exercises, and skills to heal and grow. They need each other.
That's why I created The Creator Container.

Anxiety over uncertainties of the future
Insecure or worried about what others think
Lost sleep to repetitive thought patterns

Emily Schreter, MSEd, LMHC, LPC
Licensed Psychotherapist, Certified Yoga & Mindfulness Teacher
I spent the first eight years of my counseling career serving individuals and groups in the traditional psychotherapy model. During this time I also met regularly with colleagues in diverse specialization areas and examined everything that was working and not working for us, and the people we serve.
Then I got to work taking everything I know about psychology, learning, attachment, group relations, mindfulness, the body, astrology, mythology and more to dream up a modernized method for supporting the development of high-achieving women throughout the lifespan, so they can become the truest, most powerful, beautiful, wise version of the women they were born to be.
Prior to counseling, I left an eight year corporate career in attorney development to teach yoga, before arriving at my truest calling and purpose:
Helping women and girls live their dreams by reimagining their roles and taking up their authority.
Because I believe humanity is better off when women have power and are leading.

The Creator Container is a proprietary method for self-leadership developed by a licensed therapist that incorporates approaches from a variety of therapeutic modalities, educational philosophies, and group relations study.
Although this space is designed for a similar kind of learning, healing and growth that happens in therapy, it is NOT therapy! Nor is it a replacement for it.
It may, however, be a good option for the growth-oriented who feel like they’ve “graduated” from therapy, reached a plateau, or just want to try a different approach.
Key differences include:
Talk Therapy
Fixed structure
Diagnostic framework
Traditional modalities for prescribed approach
Past-oriented
Passive reflective approach
Individualistic approach
Expert perspective on problems
vs.
Creator Container
Expansive co-creative structure
Humanistic framework
Curiosity and intuition as valid path to wellbeing
Future-ready
Active experiential learning
Collectivist approach

What You’ll Create in The Creator Container
-
Get clear on where you’re going and what you’re building by setting learning and identity goals to guide who you are becoming.
Goals are personal. Some examples include: stepping into a leadership role, birthing a new project, learning a new skill, setting and upholding tighter boundaries, deepening compassion.
Based on the Japanese ritual “misogi” which means growing by doing something challenging and stretching out of one’s comfort zone, we’ll focus on breaking down larger tasks into smaller pieces to be focused on over a three month period, or season, and then evaluated. Through the process you’ll develop awareness of your personal energetic rhythms and become more energy efficient.
-
Transformation occasionally happens through dramatic breakthroughs or extraordinary moments, but more often it unfolds in the choices we repeat, the spaces we return to, the habits we cultivate, the boundaries we honor, and the way we care for ourselves and what matters most.
Create meaningful sustainable foundations through small consistent practices and rituals that compound over time for a big difference in your body, mind, and life.
-
Harmony is not created by avoiding every difficult moment, but by showing up with honesty and the willingness to keep adjusting.
Things you can expect to learn and practice in the Creator Container include:
Connecting with your inner world—noticing and naming your parts as they arise
Expressing your vulnerability—speaking directly to people about what is alive in you by sharing your genuine emotional reactions
Cultivating moral courage—saying what’s real, even when it feels risky
Recognizing personal boundaries and bringing up difficult issues with care—addressing tensions directly and compassionately
Communicating anger or hurt without harm—staying connected through intense emotions
Receiving support and care from others—allowing yourself to be seen and held in community
Experiencing a do-over—receiving group relational healing for old wounds
What Women Are Saying
-
Extremely interesting and eye-opening. I learned a lot about myself in a short period of time, and I had the chance to experience a group setting that was very different from anything I have experienced before. This work is highly valuable, and I truly appreciate Emily’s skills.
Mahri

I've participated in many groups, done several coaching programs and this was the best by a lot, very unique and energizing. I felt so present and engaged in every session and I'd find myself thinking about people and conversations for days afterwards. So many themes from my life showed up in the group that we worked through in real time.
Sara
-
I always leave feeling like I want more. The conversations and connections feel so deep and meaningful and invigorating in ways that so many interpersonal interactions don't.
Jen
-
I noticed early on that I was seeing things in new ways. Learning how to use the present moment to communicate truthful thoughts and feelings became like an exercise, every time I did it I felt stronger and braver. I also noticed that it was helping me learn how to trust my intuition. I give a lot of talks and being here has 1000% made me a better presenter.
Andrea
-
I'm vibing on a completely different frequency. I'm manifesting things, attracting people and experiences that never even occured to me as possibilities.
Emma
-
I'm not sure how to describe the group's energy but it is POWERFUL. It's exhilarating to take scary risks and witness how it can completely influence and shift the group energy and dynamics. It's shocking how the simple but hard act of being honest in the moment reveals interpersonal and intrasychic dynamics within groups. It illuminated so much about how my internalized stories influence my behaviors and the roles I take up. So many more enlivening possibilities have emerged from my participation in this group.
Megan
-
The nature of my relationships have completely transformed. I learned to stand up for myself and my own needs, and through that process, I came to genuinely cherish and honor not only my needs, but the needs of others too, in a way that feels authentic and whole. The way I handle tough conversations now compared to how I used to is day and night. I feel so much more at ease and way less irritated.
Delia
-
In the group I experienced what Brene Brown preaches about vulnerability being the antidote to shame. Allowing myself to be more fully known, especially the parts I usually keep private, shifted my felt experience, not just cognitive understanding. The shame softened and transformed as old wounds surfaced and were tended to by an amazing group and facilitator. I'm so grateful for this experience.
Lauren
-
My creativity has just exploded from being here. I don't know what it is exactly but it's like I'm more awake, more present in each moment and noticing new interesting things about people and places. My writing is richer and my access to fantasy and imagination feels sharper.
