Last call on the women’s circle!

This is it. The final countdown. The time for you to decide.

I don’t want to do a pressure-filled hard sell on you, but the truth is that if you miss this round of the Outgrow the Grind Women's Circle, I don’t know when you’ll be able to join again.

This isn’t about FOMO (fear of missing out), creating urgency, or any other sleazy marketing tactic.

Today, I’m just a big-hearted, hard working woman (virtually) standing... well, let's be honest, sitting... in front of another big-hearted, hard working woman, asking you to let me help you prioritize your own needs and dreams.

As I was thinking about what to share with you in this last email, I decided that hearing from the previous participants will be more helpful than hearing more from me.

Women who've been part of my previous women's circles came in wanting:

• "To practice being less hard on myself"

• "To say yes to myself"

• "Coaching and support to outgrow old beliefs"

• "To let go of overachieving, perfection and putting myself last"

• "To learn from other like-minded women"

• To rewire the belief that she was "put on the planet to take care of everyone else"

• "I was feeling blah. Like nothing in my life brought me joy. I had just lost my father whom I cared for the past 10 years and felt like I needed a reboot on my life and what I wanted for the future. I wanted to feel alive again and to embrace the best parts of me."

Their favorite parts of the program (in their own words!):

Connection with other women who get it

• "I most enjoyed the live calls where we could see each other and react to each other… I also liked how we had time to explore timely tangents that were affecting any of us in real time."

• "I loved meeting like minded women who struggle with the same issue I have. I really enjoy the reflection times. It was so rewarding to have that reflection and time to appreciate where I was and who I am now and where I want to end up in life."

• "The company of likeminded women, whose values are uncannily like my own."

• "I love how you share of yourself -- just right the right amount."

A place to share honestly

• "The chance to share how I was really doing during calls and also on Voxer."

• "One discussion we had that hit hard was the one where we talked about looking for evidence that I am appreciated/valuable/worthy/capable… instead of looking for evidence that I am NOT those things."

Favorite Program Components

• "The poems and videos you shared."

• "The meditation and poems to get us focused at the beginning of sessions were the best."

• "The content provided me with lifelong tools."

• "The 1:1 coaching with you."

• "The goal setting and values exercise and discovery writing at the beginning."

• "I love the themes around seed / sprout / grow / bloom."

• "I loved the childhood picture exercise and the values exercise."

• "The day we brought our childhood photos was pretty major for me. I love that girl with all her spark and sass and magic and I had really forgotten about her. I'd also say learning about saboteurs was super helpful and interesting too."

• "I found the sessions to be incredibly helpful and feel like I grew a lot during our time together. I liked that the workbook helped craft the ideas and will be sure to reference them often."

These women left the circle feeling:

• More empowered:

  • One client realized she could actually take the sabbatical that she's more than earned after working at the same company for 7+ years regardless of how it might her impact coworkers. "I feel more empowered and feel like I have more focus and control on my wellbeing and goals."

  • "Before the program, I had lost all touch of who I am, what makes me shine, I felt like I had lost control of my life. And while there are still things in my life beyond my control, I do realize there are so many little things I can do that have real lasting, big impacts. I feel empowered, I feel excited and intrigued and energetic and hopeful for the future."

  • Now I notice when I'm bending too much and get control back."

  • Here's what one of the women in the first round of the circle shared on Facebook...

• More authentic:

  • "I feel more authentic."

  • "I am more trusting when it comes opening up about who I really am and how I truly feel about a situation."

• More self compassion: "I think I've softened some, become more gentle with myself. I still have "imperfect with purpose" written on my desk. I feel like "I'm on my way" with my business... I have more confidence that I'm growing at my own pace and in the right direction."

If you only have practice putting yourself last, that’s what you’ll do.

But there is another way!

It’s not selfish to feel like you want more ease and inspiration from a life that’s moving faster and faster, circling around other people’s needs.

And it’s not dramatic to worry that your own needs and dreams might be getting left behind.

You have a good life. You’re grateful. But it’s just not enough.

You know there’s more for you, and in you, and you don’t want to live with regret.

It’s real. You’re not alone. I know I can help you.

This is the last time I’m asking if you'll join us in the Outgrow the Grind Women's Circle.

It's not too late to chat with me tomorrow if you have any questions, big or small. Reply to this email and we'll find a time.

If you decide not to join the women's circle this round, what's one small step you can take to start feeling less overwhelmed?

With love and gratitude,

Stacy

I'm looking back to see if you're gonna join us!

PS. The Outgrow the Grind Women's Circle helps you the grind of people-pleasing, perfectionism, and proving their worth by how hard they work.

But in 2 hours, it all goes away.
