Resources.
Designed for the process. Built to live with you while you work.
[WHY IT MATTERS]
Who would you be if the world hadn't told you who to become?
A Rebel Collective isn’t just about acting or writing. It’s about returning to what makes us human—messy, beautiful, honest, and raw.
That’s art. Taking all that humanness and channeling it through creativity. It’s what lives beneath the words, beyond the performance, past the conditioning—and deep in the gut of who you actually are. That’s the kind of work that moves us. That creates connection. That reminds us we’re not alone. Every class Jen teaches—whether it’s acting, writing, or one-on-one mentorship—is about guiding you back to your voice, your body, and your story. Not the one the world handed you. The one you were born to tell.

[our founder]
Jennifer
Esposito
Actor. Writer. Director. Storyteller. Human.
And someone who finally stopped asking for permission.
The Rebel Collective was born out of necessity—mine.
After years in an industry, and a world, that told me who I should be—too much, yet never enough—I spent my career trying to shrink myself to fit the mold. Dismissed, silenced, and sidelined, the fight eventually wears you down. You start to wonder if the world is right. Maybe you aren’t meant for more.
But there was always a voice inside me whispering: You are.
That voice—the one we all start with—gets buried under years of conditioning. Especially if you’re a woman. Especially if you’re creative. Especially if you’ve been told to stay small.
That voice? That’s your truth. Your creativity. That’s where rebellion begins.

[TESTIMONIALS]
It Just Hits Different.

I matter. I stand proudly in my space. It is not my responsibility to please other people. I am a strong, powerful woman with a voice and needs, who refuses to stay small and silent any more.
I now claim this, and actually believe it.
The I'M SORRY MONOLOGUE Workshops have truly helped me transform my life. Through a unique series of activities, the guidance of Jennifer, and the support of the phenomenal women in the community, I was able to explore past experiences in an honest way, and free myself from old patterns, limiting beliefs, and guilt that I wasn't even aware I was carrying.
In these workshops I felt seen, heard, understood, and validated. And I was very creatively stimulated.
If you are ready to shed your mask and transform, elevate, up-level, and become the powerhouse woman you were meant to be, this is the workshop for you!
[Lisa Cappiello]
I didn’t even realise how much I needed a class like this until I was in it. Jennifer creates an extraordinarily safe space where all the messy, real, raw truths and personal scars get turned into something kind of, well, magical. Jennifer’s guidance is fearless, compassionate and extremely insightful. In one class she observed that it felt like I had stepped out of a shadow...in truth I was peaking out of the shadow, working with Jen woke me the fuck up and the shadow was no more. This is more than just a class, this is about community and connection, it teaches you how to reclaim your voice, turn your truth into art and ROAR if you need to.

Attending this workshop was a truly life-changing experience for me. I’ve taken it twice and had the privilege of being part of the original stage reading where Jennifer was my mentor. Jennifer is an incredibly smart, insightful, and dedicated guide who invested so much time in preparing me for the stage. The workshops, especially being part of the first reading group, provided me with a sense of community and sisterhood that I hadn’t experienced before. It’s rare to encounter someone who will listen so deeply and offer such a supportive platform, but Jennifer did exactly that. I’m immensely grateful to both Alicia and Jennifer for bringing us together and making this transformative experience possible.

There is a collective energy among women. A knowingness that sticks to you after you navigate this world as a female. A feeling of being told “know your place” “be grateful you’re here” “you’re different then the other girls” etc. A lifetime of being separated out of the pack of your female counterparts. It’s lonely and isolating.
The “I’m Sorry” movement is all of us who somehow wandered off coming back together, plugging in and finding that eternal strength that is female energy. It’s strong and mighty and scary and in this group celebrated. And finally we can stop being sorry for who and what we are! Somehow Jennifer and Alicia heard our silent cry’s and cultivated a group that is not looking back, not apologizing, not playing small. And we’re just getting started!
[April Audia]
I’M SORRY MONOLOGUES was an unanticipated therapy intensive. I’m not a writer or actor, but when I saw the topic, I felt a strong pull to dive in and explore. While going through the workshop, so many dots were connect, and I healed in a way I could have never imagined. It doesn’t matter who you are. It doesn’t matter your background. This workshop will change you.
[Amanda Wheeler]
I’m not fucking sorry anymore! This course helped me see the filtered version of myself that was stuck inside the shell of a human that I had become. It broke me open and lifted the writers block I was hiding behind. I felt empowered by the energy shared in that sacred space. To be with other women who truly support one another was incredible. Best choice I made in a long time. Dive in and become who you really are with no apologies.
[Linzy Taylor]
I signed up for the “I’m Sorry Monologue” class because it intrigued me that I find myself apologizing all the time. I wanted to see what the class was about. What I found was a community of women that were ready to work through some intense subject matters through writing from deep within. What I found was a community of women looking for a safe place to make their voices heard and we found the place in this community. This is so much bigger than a class or a workshop. Jennifer and Alicia has created a place for us to plant our seeds, enrich the soil, and shower it with water, sunshine and love. Together through support and growth, we are given the freedom to create and what is growing is a movement of so many beautiful voices.
[Deborah Louise Ortiz]
I joined the I’m Sorry Monologues when I read the description about the class. I was sick and tired of apologizing over and over and over. I was in emotional pain about it and the classes helped me get out from under the I’m sorry bus. I never worked on any of this before. I didn’t know how. The workshop was/is such a safe space to work and grow. I learned relaxation skills in class that I use all the time. I’m not the same person I was before I hit the submit button. Super grateful to be part of an amazing group of women.
[Annie Pisapia]
I have participated in two I’m Sorry Monologue workshops with Jennifer and recently had the opportunity to meet Alicia in a community Zoom call. I’m still wondering how I got so lucky to find this group of women who are exactly what I didn’t know I was looking for! Jenn and Alicia have created what “awake” women need — a safe environment to build self-worth and reject the limiting cages imposed on us by a society that underestimates and devalues women. This group has no agenda other than to create a home for women who want to help one another shoulder the struggles of walking this crazy path called life, and Jennifer and Alicia’s authenticity in leadership makes it real!
[Stacey Messina]
I took the “I’m Sorry Monologues” class to help me reignite my passion for writing. I put my career on hold to be a stay-at-home mom so I have been taking care of everyone but myself for the past 17 years. I feel like I have so much to share after 52 years on this planet and I am excited to be able to use my creative mind again. The other part for me, that is so important, is the AMAZING COMMUNITY of POWERFUL, TALENTED and WISE WOMEN! It has been such a blessing. I am so grateful.
[Shannon Drenik]
I was so excited to be accepted for the workshop! It was powerful and deep. Afterward, it’s left me questioning and doubting my healing after 18 years, so I’m reassessing that and doing more inner shadow work. I’m not sure where that’s going to lead, but will be another interesting journey.
