Let's be honest--you've hit a wall.

It's been a confusing couple of years--pandemic, injustice, constant news headlines, economic meltdowns.

The systems feel so f**ked and your nervous system feels fried.

You already know what you should do.
You’re not confused. You’re not lazy. You’re not incapable.

You’re just stuck in the space between wanting more—and being afraid of what it will cost you to go get it (more time, more energy, more discomfort).

So you keep circling.

"Thinking about" making changes (which, since we're being so honest, really amounts to talking yourself into waiting).

You keep convincing yourself that next month, after this settles down, once you feel more ready… you'll take a look at why you get so stuck, why things aren't moving forward, why it feels like the same old sh*t.

And then another year goes by.

Also, you kinda-sorta think that maybe...it's ALL bullsh*t.

You're thinking maybe no one is actually, like, regulated. And healthy. And feeling okay.

You're not a dumb bunny. You've tried stuff. You've done the whole "just act as if" and it hasn't worked out.

You're thinking, "Do I even know what I want? And even if I did, how do I get it while I'm working a bajillion hours and stressed and trying to just...live?"

Since we're getting so honest? Let's tell the truth:

YES, it is possible to live in this societal moment (gestures around wildly) and be a happy, healthy, regulated human being.

Not a human being who pretends everything's fine or adopts a "positive attitude." 

What you truly need isn’t a better attitude.

You want:

  • to stop overthinking every freaking decision

  • to stop talking yourself out of things that matter (especially when they're things you actually WANT! Why do we do that???)

  • to commit to something and actually follow through (no more betraying yourself).

  • to trust your gut instead of interrogating it (or asking everyone else's opinion)

  • to move forward without needing certainty or permission--to truly feel confident and not give up even if you aren't sure how you'll get there.

You want to feel like your life is happening again—not just being maintained.


You want to stop spiraling in self-doubt and start living with courage.

Let's go there + call it : it's time to get focused on moving your life forward.

Welcome to the Courageous Living® Program

An experiential, self-paced course that guides you—step by step—into the life that deep down, you know is possible.

This isn’t toxic positivity or “just think better thoughts.”

This is evidence-based + emotional grit + nervous system honesty + choice after choice toward the version of you who doesn’t abandon herself.

Let's be real: "Waiting" to make changes isn’t neutral.

Waiting has a cost.

Insight without action has become another way of stalling.

This is the moment the Courageous Living® Program is built for.

It's for when you know—deep down—that if you don’t move now, you’ll keep repeating the same year in different packaging.

The Courageous Living® Program pricing is temporarily reduced, just for the start of the new year.

OH MY GOD, YES, LET'S STOP WAITING

About this course

  • $39.99
  • 48 lessons

Why this actually works...(no hype, no inflated promises)

  • Evidence-based tools

    Practical lessons that speak to the real stuff you face every day--the real moments of self-doubt, of second-guessing, and of needing to regulate your nervous system.

  • Work at your own pace

    You'll get audio coaching sessions you can take on a walk, worksheets to ground you in the middle of a "WHAT WAS I THINKING?" freak out, and support when you're tempted to go back into old patterns.

  • Start taking action

    The "rah rah just ignore your self-doubt and act as-if" stuff hasn't worked for a reason. In this program, you learn how to build courage, as a habit, so that you can take action.

From one (former) hot mess, to another

Have I stood where you stand, today?

Girl. Yes.

I've made promises to myself and broken them, people-pleased my way into showing up for everyone else's agenda, been perfectionistic to the point of self-sabotage, and then gone into a pessimism spiral--and layered all of it with trying to appear tough and totally put together, which ended up being a whole other layer to peel off before I could get real about doing the work.

I'm enormously proud to say that I stopped the pretending, hustling, spiraling, and rollercoaster crash-outs.

I'm still not perfect (because no one is). Self-doubt still comes up when I challenge myself (as it always will when I stretch outside my comfort zone).

But now, even in this crazy-chaotic-wild-wonderful world, I can stay consistent with myself, stable, and...yeah, happy. That's how I can confidently say that it's possible for you, too.

I know that the greatest courage that you will ever practice is to let the truth of who you are on the inside, become how you actually live, on the outside. I want you to live, that every single day.
