The women who get your ambition and the women who get your faith are rarely in the same room...until now.
As Christian female entrepreneurs, we all want to build wildly successful businesses without it costing us our marriages, our families, or our walk with God — but the problem is, almost every room we've been in has asked us to sacrifice one over the other.
Have you noticed how hard it is to find a room that feels fully aligned for you?
all the strong business rooms are dominated by men
We have to choose Faith rooms or big ambition rooms
entrepreneurial rooms dominated by a sort of success at all costs energy with so many people externally successful but with things falling apart at home behind the scenes.
It’s hard to find ambitious women in business worth emulating not just in business but in their home lives as well
And why are none of these rooms teaching how to hear God's leadership in our business if he offers to be our business partner?
For 20 years as an entrepreneur I've been noticing these things and it’s led me to step up and solve the problem for myself by creating Ilume entrepreneurs Network
Ilume network is a highly curated private Network for 6, 7 and 8 figure female Christian entrepreneurs who want to be in a values aligned business room where they don't have to choose between faith, family and big ambition.
My name is Shay Cochrane and I have the privilege of being the founder of this community where Every month you're sitting across (virtually) from a 7, multi-seven or 8-figure Christian woman who has already done what you're trying to do — and she's telling you exactly how shes done it. Not theory. Real decisions, real mistakes, real wisdom from someone who loves the Lord and is pursuing success in business and at home.
You're placed in a small cohort of women at your revenue and business stage — women who get what you are going through without you having to explain it. When you bring a hard decision into that room, you walk out with clarity and wisdom instead of carrying it alone.
Through Kingdom Business Curriculum you start to actually hear God's voice in your business decisions — not theoretically, but practically. His strategies, His timing, His peace. It changes how you build.
And because we believe your business cannot be separated from the rest of your life — your marriage, your kids, your health, your faith — this community supports all of it. Not just your revenue goals.
Twice a month we meet on a call — one with a high-level guest mentor, one with your peer cohort — plus we have annual in-person gatherings and a private community forum in between.
This is NOT a coaching program or a temporary mastermind - This is a network of high capacity ambitious women who are all committed to helping each other succeed.
The type of women who are a great fit for this community are women who are serious in their walk with God - they want to be led by him and to partner with him, are ambitious and driven in their businesses, they are growth minded they are collaborative - willing to give to the community not guarded and gatekeeping but generous with what they know but humble enough to want to learn from the women around them. And they are willing to commit time to this community - they commit to showing up for the 2 monthly calls, they ask questions, they share they contribute - they are willing to be all in with this sisterhood of amazing women.
There is just nothing out there quite like it.
Intimate rooms of this caliber collectively doing hundreds of millions in Revenue typically cost thousands of dollars a year to be a part of I know because I've been in them and spent $50,000 a year and Beyond.
but since we're in the early build phase of this new network we're offering early Founders rate that would allow you to lock in highly discounted dues for life.
we're really selective about who is a part of this network and we grow primarily by personal referral to really protect the culture of this amazing community but if this feels like something you have been looking for you can go to ilumenetwork.com to see if you qualify and to apply for one of the remaining founding member seats.
I know in the past it's been hard to find a room that you truly felt aligned with. and those experiences leave us skeptical about what's out there- but imagine finally feeling completely supported and resourced by a community of faith-aligned entrepreneurial women who not only can help you get there but care enough to make sure you are actually thriving as a person along the way.
That’s Ilume and we would love to consider you for this amazing network. You can find more details and apply today at ilumenetwork.com.
As the saying goes - Show me your friends and I will show you your future. Your future in this community opens up a world of support and growth that makes anything possible.
You're operating at a level of revenue and complexity that almost no one around you has reached.
Every high-stakes decision lands on you and mistakes are costly at your level.
You're surrounded by people who either work for you or want things from you, but almost no one who is simply building alongside you as an equal.
You're doing the quiet math on what business ownership is costing your family, your friendships, your body and wondering if there's a better way...but you havn't seen it modeled.
You want partnership with God but often feel like you're building alone.
You have a level of ambition as a woman that the church doesn't quite know what to do with and it's left you feeling out of place in typical faith rooms.
You love big ambition rooms but they tend to be dominated by men or by misaligned definitions of success.
You have more inside of you but you need an inspiring, values-aligned community of women to help you get there.
Ilūme bridges the gap.
To reach your next level of potential you need exposure to women who have already done what you are trying to do. Our monthly Guest Mentors are multi 7-8 figure Christian entrepreneurial women who openly share their real challenges, decisions, mistakes, expertise and what actually works from a refreshingly values-aligned perspective you don't get in the secular world.
Collapse years of trial and error into faster growth in business and life.
At your level, mistakes are costly and the weight of decisions can feel isolating. Confidence and clarity come when you have a consistent group of women at your revenue stage who deeply know you and your business and can give high value feedback, workshop strategy, hold you accountable to your goals and contend for your business in prayer.
No transactional relationships here. Ilūme is curated for open, generous women who share connections, resources, and hard-won experience.
You have the unfair advantage of having the God of the Universe as your business partner with unlimited resources, ideas, strategies, and good plans and purposes for you. When you learn to hear his voice more clearly in business you build with a level of peace, joy, hope and clarity that is unmistakable.
When God leads the vision, the weight lifts, and the impossible becomes possible.
Entrepreneurship is not a solo sport. Someone else has already solved the problem that is currently keeping you up at night. One call, one introduction, one referral can open a door you've been pushing on for years. That's the power of the right relationships. Ilūme women help each other, refer each other, hire each other and collaborate for more impact.
One conversation can change everything for you.
"In just a few short months Ilūme has already dramatically shifted the trajectory of my entire entrepreneurial future!"
"Being in Ilūme with women who are brilliant, thoughtful, ambitious, and deeply rooted in Jesus has been unlike any entrepreneurial space I have ever been part of."
"Ilūme has given me the language and frameworks to help me win not just in business but also in my personal life. I'm so grateful to be in this room!"

We bring our members into the room with other 7, multi-7, and 8-figure business owners — collapsing years of hard-won lessons into monthly sessions with real-time Q&A mentorship. Preview two past sessions.
"God has worked on my heart, character, and foundation. Last year, I hit my dream milestone of over $2M in sales — a direct result of this group and learning to trust God more so He can trust me with more."
For three years, Shay has led a local faith-based group of 150 entrepreneurs in Tampa. The results?
Women scaling in business, deeper intimacy with God, best-friendships, new business partnerships, hires, collaborations, referrals, radical generosity, million-dollar breakthroughs God orchestrated, spiritual growth, business clarity, and healthier lives, marriages, and families.
Their transformations became the inspiration for Ilūme Network — those results brought online, expanded nationwide, and made accessible for high-capacity Christian female founders everywhere.
Ilūme launched in January 2026 and is at the boutique stage of growth which means greater levels of proximity, depth and intimacy and unique benefits:

Shay's weekly conversations on building a business God's way — brought to you by the Ilūme Entrepreneurs Network. A window into the wisdom shared inside the room.
We are a curated, high-caliber, faith-based entrepreneurial network exclusively for 6, 7, and 8-figure women.
We serve our members in four core ways:
We take a variety of factors into consideration, but three of our core filters are:
Our Forum Calls are on the first and third Thursdays of the month, always at 12:00 ET.
We will have replays available for our Guest Mentor calls.
To make the most of your Ilūme membership, we ask that you aim for attending 75% of cohort-based calls so you can know and be known by your cohort-mates.
To keep our cohorts intimate, we place no more than 8 women in each group.
We sort groups by a variety of factors – we will start with revenue level (considering your highest previous annual revenue reached for a business you built), but also consider industry type and years of experience.
So if you previously built a company that reached 3M annually but are now starting over with a new business we will place you with other women in the 3M range.
If you are newer in business and your highest annual revenue so far is $200,000 we will place you in a cohort with peers at that revenue and experience level.
Our goal is to create cohorts that have enough common experience to gel, but enough differences to cover each others' blind spots.
Guest Mentors give you the chance to learn from those ahead of you and peer cohorts give you the chance to learn from and collaborate with peers.
When you know this is the room for you, submit your application and $500 refundable deposit.

Inspiration, motivation and connection as you partner with God in business.
