LESSON 1
Your resumé will not hold you back as much as regret will. And current challenges—a difficult child, health issues, marriage pains, a fallout with religion, or lack of job prospects—can color your memory in a way that sabotages your future plans.
In this first session, we'll help you make peace with the past, so you can...
Honor and release lost opportunities.
Identify what you love about your life so far.
Clarify whose expectations you're paying attention to.
Tell the story of your past with more grace and gentleness.
LESSON 2
How do you make choices that actually bring you happiness? Turns out "follow your passion" is terrible advice. We'll help you see the true aim behind your goals, so you can determine which direction is best for you to aim for next.
Our second session will help you...
Avoid the 3 kinds of goals that will never make you happy.
See concrete reasons to be grateful for where you currently are.
Identify personal strengths that will take you where you want to go.
Tell the story of who you are now in a few powerful sentences.
LESSON 3
The most intimidating—and most important—thing to do is to begin. You don't need to read more, think more, or weigh more pros and cons. In this session, we help you organize the next, smallest steps you can take on the path that's meant for you.
By the end of this session you will...
Create a guiding document for your upcoming years.
Identify actionable next steps to start your momentum.
Have a list of questions to ask yourself to make future decisions.
Articulate your direction clearly enough to share with a spouse, future employer, online audience, or yourself.
Our three lessons help you identify changes you want to make. For practical support to make the journey, we've compiled a list of 97 trusted resources that we've personally used. Whether you want to gain greater financial savvy, reenter the workforce, pursue higher education, create a personal project, or develop as a person, we've got a book, course, or video that saves you the time of finding it on your own.
Hear from a successful woman who took an unconventional path and now is on the side of screening resumés, conducting interviews, and directing a team. In this interview, she shares some of the biggest pitfalls (do not list your title of mom as "CEO of Household"!). You'll get insightful advice to tell the story of your skills so that employers contact you.
Lower stress, build confidence, and center your mind with Make Space for You.
ASHMAE: I'm here to help you navigate a space that feels directionless. I'm a painter and writer who has also spent the last 12 years caring for small children full time—often at the cost of what I personally wanted to pursue. When my youngest started school and I left my life-long religion, I found myself in a place I didn't recognize. Using practices of meditative writing, I've been carving out a new story for myself. I'll share these practices with you, so you can tell the next story of your life, too.
KATHY: I’m here to help you succeed—and to insist that the grass isn’t always greener. As a working mom, I was quickly promoted to the executive team of a company where I worked for 10 years. I loved my co-workers, had flexibility, went on company-paid trips to Alaska and Hawaii. As crazy as it sounds, I made the financial sacrifice to leave all that to be home with my kids. I can offer you fantastic advice on how to be seen as a highly valued employee without losing sight of what matters to you most.

No. In fact, when we taught this course live, people in all stages of life joined us. Everyone can benefit from taking stock of their past, clarifying the present, and choosing a future direction. So if you don't fall into the category "stay-at-home" or "mom," start the course and you'll still get tremendous benefit.
We're aiming to help moms who potentially feel left behind because we know those women personally, we're familiar with that experience, and we have something powerful to offer. But again, the tools we teach can help anyone at the edge of a tricky life transition—so join us!
This online course is recorded, so you can move through it at your own pace, on your time.
Even though it's recorded, we recommend that you do the writing and thinking exercises along with the recording when you watch. This course is designed to guide you, but only you can make your personal map with the activities we share.
(We originally taught this course live, so you will see us interacting with people who joined us online when it was first broadcast. Their input will help you see different takes on the exercises and ideas we share.)
Find new direction, gain skills to get what you want, and breathe life back into your soul, starting now.
