The Marshalls
good stuff
Accelerator Program
The Marshalls Good Stuff Accelerator Program is designed to help women live their ideal lives with expert guidance, coaching, and community.
Back for its second year, The Marshalls Good Stuff Accelerator Program — developed in partnership with Luminary — is a virtual, year-long experience designed to support 40 women as they make meaningful progress toward one personal or professional goal.
Whether you’re a college student, stay-at-home mom, business owner, navigating your career, in a life transition, or just looking for a new opportunity – you belong here!
The program offers curated sessions, peer accountability, and practical support to help women take action and move forward.
Meet the
participants
Participants from Year 1 used the program to launch businesses, develop professional skillsets, and pursue personal milestones — often citing the combination of structure, a grant, and community as transformative. From publishing books to scaling tutoring programs, these women are turning ambition into action.
The Need
According to Marshalls research, women surveyed define the "good stuff in life” as a combination of emotional and experiential fulfillment. This includes spending quality time with loved ones to personal growth and professional achievement. But for so many reasons, the things women want can feel just out of reach. 1 in 3 say they lack access to the resources they need to get more out of their lives, and 46% do not have a mentor.
Marshalls is working to close this access gap through programs that help provide women with practical tools, resources, and community to make tangible progress toward the life they envision. We created The Marshalls Good Stuff Accelerator Program to be a focused, immersive opportunity for a dedicated group of 40 women to go deeper and further.

UP NEXT: Luminary CruLuminary Cru
A Luminary Cru is a small accountability circle of members (4-5) and a trained Cru Guide (Luminary staff member) who meet and peer coach each other in monthly 60-minute Gatherings to help them accelerate achievement of their personal and professional goals facilitated by an expert guide.
All MGSAP participants will be matched with fellow participants based on demographics, values, goals, and availability—while also ensuring each group brings together diverse perspectives and individuals at different stages of their lives. You’ll have access to a digital platform to track your intentions and progress. This isn’t just another networking group—it’s a journey alongside like-minded individuals who will challenge you, cheer you on, and celebrate with you every step of the way.
Many participants from our first year’s cohort described their Cru as the highlight of their Accelerator experience, forming life-long connections. Cru Meetings are a core part of your MGSAP journey, and we ask that you make every effort to attend. Given the personal nature of the conversations in these meetings, they will not be recorded.
