REMEMBER THAT FEELING…

You used to get that butterflies-in-the-stomach feeling on Christmas Eve. You got it as a kid and a teenager and as a young person. You don’t get it anymore.

You’re surrounded by people who say it’s normal to lose that feeling… that it comes with getting older and having mortgages and children and other important responsibilities… that adults need to grow up and live in the real world.

You can’t help but wonder if they’re right. You wonder if this really IS as good as it gets and that scares the crap out of you.

Yet you yearn ~

You yearn for more. You want to understand your own feelings and desires. You want greater clarity about what to do and create with your life. You want a loving and mindful house cleaning for your life.

You want to believe that you are the person who knows what’s best for your life. You want to take risks and speak up for yourself. You want to develop better boundaries. You want permission. You want joy and freedom and a million other delicious things.

You want to fall in love with your life. You want to belong to yourself.

And I know that a more delicious life is within your reach.

I’m a coach for women over 40 who yearn for something more in their lives. They feel exhausted from censoring their opinions, putting others first and shrinking to take up less space. I help them say hell yes to creating the joyful life they deserve.

Wouldn’t it be awesome to develop:

  • Greater clarity about what’s working in your life and what isn’t
  • The knowledge, skills and confidence to take real action
  • Simple upgrades to your life
  • The certainty that you are deserving of love, belonging, joy and yumminess

CONVERSATIONS WITH YOUR LIFE: GROUP COACHING PROGRAM

Conversations with Your Life will help you begin a dialogue with various parts of your life and really hear what your life is trying to tell you. Ultimately, the goal of the course is to provide you with the information, tools, and exercises you need to reconnect with your joy and create your yummiest life.

It’s time to change what isn’t working.

  • You’ll notice + become aware of what’s going on in your life. You’ll listen + speak to your life.
  • You’ll examine your thoughts. Ask whether you can trust them. Make shifts in your thinking. Develop new thoughts.
  • You’ll take micro actions towards yumminess. Martha Beck calls these small actions “turtle steps” and they help get you going and become more confident.

DATES:

The course will run for eight weeks ~ from Monday 26th March until Friday 18th May 2018.

WHAT’S INCLUDED:

WEEKLY LESSONS
You’ll receive 6 lessons (audios + transcripts) emailed to you at the beginning of each week. Each lesson includes three audio essays, instructions for tasks, and lots of yummy tools from my training and work as a Certified Martha Beck Life Coach. That’s 18 separate topics and exercises to dive into and the freedom to work through them at the pace that feels right to you.

WEEKLY WORKBOOKS
You’ll receive 6 workbooks in the form of downloadable PDFs to guide your play + work during the course.

WEEKLY FACEBOOK LIVES
6 Facebook Live sessions to discuss what you are learning and get answers to your questions. (You can also revisit these conversations later).

SECRET + PRIVATE FACEBOOK GROUP
Our Secret + Private Facebook Group is a supportive online space where you’ll be invited to respond to prompts that guide your learning, share your goals and questions and comment on other people’s posts. During past courses, participants have said that the warm and encouraging vibe inside the group was one of their favourite aspects of the course. This is a safe space to explore your fears and dreams

PRIVATE COACHING
