After two decades of overwork in the hospitality and events world, a life-changing surgery, and the devastating loss of a friend to suicide, Deana Brown Mitchell made a promise to herself: she would no longer build success at the expense of her life, health, or purpose. And she would help others do the same.
That commitment eventually became Wolf Pack Mentors: a deeply supportive, high-touch mentorship experience for solopreneurs and entrepreneurs who appear successful on the outside but are quietly exhausted, overwhelmed, and running their businesses on sheer willpower.
Unlike traditional business programs that focus on tactics or hustle culture, Wolf Pack Mentors is built specifically for solopreneurs just starting out or high-achieving entrepreneurs who have lost themselves somewhere along the way. Many are coaches, consultants, founders, or agency owners, often between 38 and 62, earning $50,000 to $750,000 a year, yet lacking what Deana calls “mind space”: the clarity, breathing room, and emotional bandwidth needed to think, create, and lead with intention.
Most have invested heavily in courses, masterminds, and coaching but walked away without real change.
“The truth is,” Deana says, “they didn’t need more information; they needed support, accountability, and someone who actually knows how to help them build a business that supports their life, instead of consuming it.”
More Than Mentoring – It’s a Reconnection to Self
Wolf Pack Mentors is anchored in The Wolf Pack Path, a six-phase framework that blends personal growth, mindset shifts, systems development, and strategic clarity. Members consistently report:
- A calmer, clearer mind
- Confidence they haven’t felt in years
- Real momentum and consistent execution
- A vision that finally feels like them
- The spaciousness to breathe, create, and lead
It’s intimate by design, small groups, personal attention, and accountability that feels supportive rather than performative.
For many, it becomes the first place they’ve felt truly seen as leaders carrying the invisible weight of their families, businesses, and communities.
It’s the space where entrepreneurs admit burnout, share doubts, ask for help, and stop pretending everything is fine; conversations rarely welcome in environments obsessed with nonstop achievement.
A New Model of Sustainable Success
Deana recently launched the Wolf Pack Ascent Retreat, a three-day immersive experience in Boise for entrepreneurs who need rest, clarity, and reconnection to their “why.” It reflects a growing reality: business growth and personal wellbeing are not separate paths, they are the same path.
Her work draws on 20+ years of experience running high-level operations at her multimillion-dollar destination management company, and high end events, combined with a lived understanding of burnout, reinvention, and resilience. But what clients value most is her ability to help them finally exhale, see themselves clearly, and step into a future that feels aligned and not forced.
There are three purpose-driven brands Mitchell has built since losing her multi–seven-figure business during the pandemic.
Alongside Wolf Pack Mentors, she has also founded:
- The Realize Foundation/Scars to Stars™ focuses on suicide prevention through conversations, community, and personal story.
- The Shower Genius™, her clarity and creativity framework, helps people find the ideas, answers, and direction they’ve been missing.
Together, these brands form an ecosystem dedicated to what Deana calls “saving lives and sanity.”
For entrepreneurs who have been lone-wolfing their way through business, the entrepreneurial support and growth community offers a different path: one where success and sanity aren’t mutually exclusive, and where asking for help is a strategic advantage rather than a weakness.
