What to Expect

Act First. Believe Later.

A guided journey through the seven frameworks in Courageously You: Seven Simple Frameworks to Create the Life You Love — one chapter, one framework, and one round of live coaching every week.

Participants read, reflect, and are coached in real time on their own answers, in a small group built for honesty and momentum.

Guided Reading Plan

A clear, manageable weekly reading schedule so you always know what's next and never feel behind.

Live Group Coaching

Weekly live sessions where we discuss, coach, and apply the lessons together in a safe, supportive space.

Reflection Exercises

Practical journaling prompts and action steps that help you turn every chapter into meaningful progress.

Supportive Community

A private group of women cheering each other on, sharing wins, and holding each other accountable.

Personal Clarity

Walk away with a deeper understanding of who you are, what you want, and how to get there.

Lasting Confidence

Build the courage to take bold, aligned action — long after the program ends.

Program Format

Two Tracks, One Journey

In-Person Track

For local (SWFL) participants. Weekly in-person gathering — circle seating, printed reflection sheets, and shared journaling time before group coaching begins.

Virtual Track (Zoom)

For everyone outside the area. Same weekly structure and same live coaching, hosted on Zoom with breakout rooms for small-group reflection sharing.

Both tracks run the identical 7-week curriculum, on the same weekly cadence, so a participant can move between them if needed.

Who This Is For

Women navigating a season of change — reinvention after a setback, a delayed dream, a limiting story about what's "too late," or a relationship (with self, others, or the Divine) that needs rebuilding.

No prior coaching experience needed — only a willingness to read, reflect honestly, and show up.

What You'll Need

  • A copy of Courageously You (read the assigned chapter before each session)
  • A journal or notebook for reflection questions
  • 60–90 minutes per week for the session, plus reading/reflection time between weeks
In Depth

Week-by-Week Detail

Here's a closer look at what we'll explore together — including the reflection prompts you'll work through each week.

Week 1

Hitting Rock Bottom

R.I.S.E. Framework

"Nothing changes until we're honest about where we actually are."

Recognize the Denial · Inventory the Impact · Seek Support · Execute Your Commitment

Sample Reflection Prompts

  • What was your "on/off switch" moment — when did you realize you could no longer control what was taking over your life?
  • Which R.I.S.E. step feels hardest for you right now?
  • Who are the trusted people who could offer honest observations, and are you willing to ask them?

Action step: one daily commitment participants will start within 24 hours.

Week 2

Following Your Courageous Heart

L.E.A.P. Framework

"Courage isn't the absence of doubt — it's deciding what's on the other side matters more."

Look at Your Vision · Educate and Equip Yourself · Activate with Small Steps · Position Your Environment

Sample Reflection Prompts

  • What is the vision you've been afraid to pursue? Walk it through each L.E.A.P. step.
  • What skill do you believe you've "lost" or are "too old" to learn — and what if you're wrong?
  • Two years from now you'll be two years older either way — what do you want to have accomplished by then?

Action step: one small activation step toward the named vision.

Week 3

Dreams Delayed, Not Denied

D.R.E.A.M. Framework

"Not yet does not mean never."

Desire Deeply and Authentically · Resilience Through Setbacks · Embrace the Waiting Period · Adapt to Changing Circumstances · Move Boldly When Stars Align

Sample Reflection Prompts

  • Which D.R.E.A.M. step is hardest for you, and why?
  • What dream have you held at arm's length waiting for the "perfect time"?
  • What is the cost of NOT pursuing your dream — 20 years from now, what will you regret more?

Action step: one move toward the delayed dream, sized for today (not "someday").

Week 4

Rewriting Your Story About What Is Possible

S.H.I.F.T. Framework

"You don't think your way into a new story — you act your way into one."

Spot Your Limiting Story · Hunt for Counter-Evidence · Imagine Your New Story · Forge New Actions · Trust Your Evolution

Sample Reflection Prompts

  • What belief about your age, body, or stage of life have you accepted as "just the way it is"?
  • Where do you see proof that reinvention is possible at any age?
  • What one small action in the next 7 days would directly challenge that old belief?

Action step: one counter-evidence-building action within 7 days.

Week 5

Choosing Courage Over Comfort

F.I.R.E. Framework

"The pain of staying becomes greater than the fear of leaving."

Feel the Disappointment · Ignite Your Power · Reveal Your Passion · Execute Your Path

Sample Reflection Prompts

  • What comfort zone are you clinging to, even though it's no longer serving you?
  • If you stripped away all external expectations, what would bring you true fulfillment?
  • Who are you taking advice from — people who've achieved what you want, or well-meaning voices holding you back?

Action step: one move that executes toward the revealed passion.

Week 6

Redefining Your Relationship with the Divine

F.A.I.T.H. Framework

"Choose faith over fear, on your own terms."

Free Yourself from Old Beliefs · Awaken to New Possibilities · Integrate Spiritual Tools · Transform Through Practice · Honor Your Unique Journey

Sample Reflection Prompts

  • What long-held spiritual or religious belief might be worth reexamining?
  • If you were to describe your own concept of a Higher Power, what qualities would it have?
  • Can you look back at a difficult chapter and see how it worked out better than expected?

Action step: one spiritual practice to try before next week.

Week 7

Embracing Your Self-Worth

V.A.L.U.E. Framework

"Self-worth is the courage to leave when boundaries are violated, and the wisdom to recognize genuine change."

View Your Patterns · Assert Your Standards · Lead with Clarity · Upgrade Your Relationships · Elevate Your Self-Care

Sample Reflection Prompts

  • Where in your life are you confusing history with health?
  • What have you been tolerating that you've quietly normalized?
  • Are you loving from a place of wholeness, or a place of lack?

Action step: one relationship boundary or standard to name and hold.

Closing & Integration

The final session ends with a group integration exercise: each participant names the one framework letter (across all seven) that changed the most for them, and states one commitment they're carrying forward.

We'll close with a short celebration — and an optional Week 8 "reunion" call 30 days later to check in on action steps.
