What Our Mastermind Members Are Saying

The support and friendships from this group were totally unexpected but absolutely needed. In a world where sometimes I feel isolated as a female CEO its a blessing to know I'm not alone.

Jessica Nemecz - Two Roads Wellness Clinic

I love your authentic vibe! You’re doing a great job helping me set goals, have accountability, and know what outcomes I’m going after. Thank you!

Jessica Nemecz | Two Roads Wellness Clinic

I like hearing from the others in the group as we all tend to have similar struggles. This is also forcing me to spend some time thinking about my business -- which I tend to put off. So the accountability is helpful!

Holly Fisher | Fisher Creative Marketing

Meet Your Guide

Hi! I’m Hilary.

I’m the Founder of Hatch Tribe & should you choose to join the Sage Council, we’ll be getting to know one another quite well — I facilitate every session!

Here’s a bit about me & how I’ll show up for you.

  • I’ve owned businesses for 14+ years. I started every one of them from scratch and I’ve successfully exited 3 of them. I’ve also closed several businesses because, let’s face it, they weren’t all winners!

  • I’ve worked professionally as a business growth & leadership coach for 9 years now. I specialize in working with women business owners and helping them get super clear about what they want…and then helping them make it happen.

  • Life is about so much more than my business. It’s an important part of what I do and who I am — but I never lose sight of the bigger picture. Work is just one facet of a really beautiful life.

  • I love working with women who want to go after their version of success — no matter how crazy it may be. Listen, you only live once so you might as well do it your way! I’d love to help you make it happen.

Cheryl Heller - Pillar One Consulting

I like the routine and having the space to step back and think about working "on" the business rather than "in" the business.

Cheryl Heller | Pillar One Consulting

Katie Throckmorton - Distinct Builders

I so appreciate your knowledge and wisdom as well as your friendship and encouragement. I know I would not be where I am right now without you and my future in business would not look as bright.

Katie Throckmorton | Distinct Builders

Kalena Baker - Teaching Made Practical

The mastermind is refreshing because I get a chance to talk to other women who can actually understand what I do and can help me problem-solve in a way that other people that are not a part of this world would never be able to do.

Kalena Baker | Teaching Made Practical

KLH Group | Hope Caldwell

The Mastermind has become a group I depend on. It’s a safe place to share the highs and lows of being a business owner, and the wisdom I glean from the group is incredibly valuable.

Marielle Klapp | Stellar Bookkeeping

I am so thankful for you and for the team. I am a better leader and a better advisor as a result of your help!

Jessica Beran - Dance Moves of Charleston

I built confidence in myself, my business, and the potential I have, and I made lasting friendships with these women that are strong, supportive and exactly the kind of women I want to be around. They push me, help me see that I am not alone, and assure me regularly that I can do anything I set my mind to.

What Makes the Sage Council Unique?

✅ Curated for Excellence – Every member is carefully selected to ensure a high-caliber, growth-minded group. This isn’t just any group — it’s a peer advisory council of like-minded women.


✅ Led by an Experienced Business Strategist – All Sage Council mastermind sessions are led by Hilary Johnson, a highly experienced business growth and leadership coach, as well as a mastermind facilitator. While this is not a business coaching program, you’ll get valuable insight from Hilary, in addition to your peers in the group.


✅ Small, Intimate Group – With a maximum of 8 women in each group, you will get to know one another really well — and that’s by design. The women in your mastermind group are “peer advisors” and you’ll learn a lot from one another through our deep, guided strategic conversations.


✅ Holistic Business & Leadership Approach – At Hatch Tribe, we don’t just help you build your business, we help you build true success — as YOU define it. That means we’re regularly talking about how business decisions impact our lives outside of work, and visa versa.
