You've spent years making sure everyone else has a life they love. It's time to start enjoying yours, too.
You love your family. You've worked hard to build a good life.
But somewhere along the way, your own wants, interests, and dreams took a back seat.
You've become the person who keeps everything running. You know what everybody needs, where everybody has to be, and what needs to get done.
But what about you?
When was the last time you tried something new, made plans just because you wanted to, or felt genuinely excited about something in your own life?
Maybe you don't even know what you want anymore.
I've been there.
And I want you to know that you don't have to have it all figured out before you begin.
Take Your Seat is a 6-session private coaching program for women who are tired of doing everything for everyone and are ready to make room for themselves too.
Especially before the holidays
November and December have a way of turning everything up.
More things to remember.
More people to take care of.
More expectations.
More places to be.
And somehow the woman creating the holiday for everybody else is often the one who enjoys it the least.
I know that feeling.
That’s one reason I’m offering this first round when I am.
Over these six sessions, we’ll work together so you don't arrive at Christmas already completely drained.
You’ll start noticing what creates the overwhelm before you’re standing in the kitchen mad at everybody while they're watching a Christmas movie.
You’ll practice asking for help.
You’ll learn to say no without spending three days feeling guilty about it.
You'll decide which traditions actually matter to you and which ones you're keeping alive simply because we've always done it that way.
And you'll start giving yourself permission to enjoy the season too.
The goal isn't a perfect, stress-free Christmas.
The goal is for you to actually be present for your own life while it's happening.
You don’t need a different life.
You don’t need to run away for a month.
You don’t need a perfectly organized house, a brand-new morning routine, or a family that suddenly anticipates your every need.
And we are definitely not spending six weeks trying to “fix” you.
Instead, we’re going to slow things down enough for you to notice:
What are you doing because it actually matters to you?
What are you doing simply because you’ve always done it?
What are you assuming everyone expects from you?
Where are you saying yes and then feeling resentful?
When did everyone else’s needs automatically start coming before yours?
And most importantly…
What would change if you started including yourself in the equation?
Imagine getting to December and…
You aren't secretly mad because you're the only person doing everything.
You can ask for help without thinking you should've just done it yourself.
You can say no to something without writing a 12-paragraph explanation in your head.
You actually sit down during the holiday.
You do something because you enjoy it, not just because everyone else does.
And when Christmas is over, your biggest thought isn't: “Thank God that's done.”
That's what we're working toward.
Not a perfect holiday.
One you're actually part of.
You have spent years making sure everybody else has a seat.
Maybe it's time to take yours.
The Founding Fall Round
This is the first Take Your Seat Fall program, and I’m offering a special founding-client price:
6 private 50-minute coaching sessions $349
That works out to less than $60 per private session.
This price will not be offered again.
Future rounds of Take Your Seat will be priced higher as I continue to build and expand the program.
You’re not signing up to be my practice client.
You’re receiving the complete six-session Take Your Seat coaching experience at the Founding Client Rate because you're joining me for its first official season.
What’s Included:
Six private 50-minute coaching sessions
We’ll meet once a week for six weeks.
These are private sessions focused on you, your actual life, and the situations you’re dealing with right now.
Support between sessions
You’ll have Voxer support between our sessions for accountability, questions, and those moments when real life gives us something good to coach on.
No giant workbook you're going to feel guilty for not finishing.
No homework that turns into another thing on your to-do list.
No trying to completely reinvent your life in six weeks.
We’re going to work with the life you already have.
The program is 7 weeks total; The Fall Founding Round begins the last week of October and ends the second week of December, with Thanksgiving week off.
This program might be for you if…
You love your family, but sometimes you're tired of everyone needing something from you.
You find yourself saying, “It’s just easier if I do it myself.”
You finally get time alone and aren't even sure what you want to do.
You say yes…and then get resentful about it.
You feel guilty doing something for yourself when there's still something that could be done for someone else.
You're already thinking about everything you have to do for Thanksgiving and Christmas.
You don't necessarily want to change your whole life.
You just don't want to keep disappearing inside of it.
If you read that and thought,
“Yep. That's me.”
Pull up a chair.
Why work with me?
Because I’ve been this woman too.
I spent years raising kids, taking care of a family, working, managing schedules and making sure all the things got done.
I had built a life I genuinely wanted.
And somewhere in the middle of managing it, I realized I wasn’t actually enjoying it the way I thought I would.
I didn’t need a different husband.
Different kids.
A different business.
Or a completely different life.
I needed to stop living on autopilot and start paying attention to myself again.
I have a degree in psychology and training as a Certified Christian Life Coach, so I bring education and coaching tools to our work together.
But I've also had to use these tools in my own life.
I know what it feels like to look around at a good life and think:
“Why does this feel so hard?”
And I also know how much can change when you start asking different questions.
