Wednesday, March 5: Getting Started

via Zoom; join at 11am-12:15pm PST or 5-6:15pm PST

We’ll kick off with a course overview and introductions – followed by breakouts so you can meet a few women from the community gathered around Stepping Up Strong.

You’ll also learn about weekly office hours, opt-in cohorts, and other offerings included in your enrollment.

As with every session, this orientation will be recorded and shared in our online Resource Portal.

Your first on-demand learning module, WHO WE ARE, will drop on this day. Expect ongoing modules twice each month.

Wednesday, March 12: Guided Interaction, “Who We Are”

via Zoom; join at 11am-12:15pm PST or 5-6:15pm PST

Take a bold, story-shifting look at who women, the females of our species, have been since the dawn of time. This “reality check” overview will reveal the equality and power women have held across human history – and reveal the disruption that led the world astray only 3,500 years ago.

Above all, learn why our truth matters – and how to put it to use as we move forward.

Wednesday, March 19: Women Today

via Zoom; join at 11am-12:15pm PST or 5-6:15pm PST

Learn the facts about our leadership, importance in decision-making and politics, economic impact, and essential contributions to the world today. There’s plenty of good news, yet there’s a dark side too – one needing the light of our true nature.

Knowledge is power, and knowing how we get lost in the system can point the way to a better path forward. Those steps are what we’ll explore in this session.

Your second on-demand module, POWER LEAKS (AND HOW TO CLOSE THEM) will launch on this day.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Wednesday, March 26: Guided Interaction, “Power Leaks”

via Zoom; join at 11am-12:15pm PST or 5-6:15pm PST

Too many of us leak our power, diluting both our positive impact and our sense of satisfaction. Learn how this happens – and how you can close the leaks and step up to more authentic, meaningful ways of showing up in the world.

We’ll explore five all-to-common ways that power leaks away, and learn in-the-moment practices that shift us back to more strength, authenticity, and confidences across a range of real-world circumstances. You’ll receive follow-up practices and “how tos” you can print out and pin to your vision board or anywhere else to prime your mind to remember.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Wednesday, April 2: SPECIAL GUEST

Wednesday, April 9: Banishing the Imposter

via Zoom; join at 11am-12:15pm PST or 5-6:15pm PST

Face the truth about Imposter Syndrome; why it rises, how it affects women, and what works – really works – to head it off at the pass.

You’ll practice proven methods for shutting the Imposter down, learning to recognize it early so you can steer clear of the stress and diminishment it all too often delivers.

On-demand Module Three, THE FEMALE BRAIN will be available today.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Wednesday, April 16: Guided Interaction, “The Female Brain”

via Zoom; join at 11am-12:15pm PST or 5-6:15pm PST

Dive deeper into the unique capabilities of the female brain – in ways that help you lean in to its powers and also give insights into male brains, and why our ways are as different as they often are.

Expect to leave this discussion with useful practices for getting out of your habitual mind and into the innately female ways of thinking the world needs now.

Wednesday, April 23: SPECIAL GUEST

11am-12:15pm PST

Get ready for inspiration with a groundbreaking guest speaker: a woman of impact creating a positive ripple effect in the world and for women like you. You’ll have the chance to meet, learn from, and interact with her, gaining both inspiration and actionable mindsets and tips. And you’ll love how the “THE FEMALE BRAIN” module prepared you for this dialog.

This recording will be available, along with all other session recordings, in our Resource Portal so you can view it on demand.

A new on-demand learning module, THE STORY OF YOU, will be available today.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Wednesday, May 7: Guided Interaction, “The Story of You”

via Zoom; join at 11am-12:15pm PST or 5-6:15pm PST

Today’s session will be so much fun you may not realize how powerful it is. You’ll spend time in small groups, introducing and activating your “future self” in a way that invites a surprising benefit: an inspiring guide you can access as you walk the path ahead.

This exercise is rooted in both neuroscience and psychology, along with a few other frameworks – yet it’s playful, connecting, and deeply enjoyable. You’ll feel the shift once you’ve completed it, and you’ll leave with ways to keep the inspiration alive.

You’ll receive your final on-demand module, BUILDING YOUR VISION, today.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Wednesday, May 14: Guided Interaction, “Building Your Vision”

Dynamic, idea-activating exchanges will guide your Vision Plan to the next level, giving you everything you need to complete your final steps in crafting a vision you’ll be invited to share in our interactive Vision Gallery during our final week.

You’ll also be invited to drop in for one of several office hours sessions I’ll be offering this week – great ways to gain clarity on your final steps as this course draws to a close, or to discuss anything else that’s arisen during the transformational journey we’ve shared.

    I’m offering the same format twice on Wednesdays to make the course fit in with schedules + reality and global time zones.

    Choose the time that works for you and plan to join consistently – the community connection will be meaningful, and you’re part of that.

  • Two reasons behind Pay As You Can:

    First, in the wake of LA’s tragic fires – and of many other challenges in this world – I wanted to make this illuminating, even healing course as easily available as possible.

    Second: I do want people to contribute “something” in exchange for participating. When we invest any amount in ourselves, it elevates commitment and the change that comes from it.

    Those who can pay full Tier One price are gratefully welcomed to. They’ll be sponsors of the course, in a way – whether they choose to be named or not.

    Thank you for whatever you can offer. It’s meaningful to me.

  • Absolutely. I may add an additional weekday and time depending on demand.

  • The most important commitment is to participating fully. That’s what will make Stepping Up Strong … well, strong.

    Weekly sessions will be one hour and 15 minutes long.

    Expect to spend around 30 minutes [er week on exercises and activities guiding new mindsets and skills.

    On-demand modules will drop every other week (alternate weeks). These will range between 30 and 60 minutes in length.

    You’ll also receive guided practices for each week, including journaling or planning exercises, recorded meditations, and more.

  • Message me using the form below. I’ll be happy to explore options for group participation.

  • By all means let me know using the form below. If there’s sufficient interest I will open up a second cohort – so be sure to share your preferred weekly meeting day and time.
