You’re skeptical, I get it.
I was thinking about why you haven't applied for my women's circle.

I know that you have some verrrrrrry good reasons, like...
I don't have time.
I don't want to invest my hard earned money into yet ANOTHER program that I'm not sure will work for me.
A six month program is too big of a commitment for me, especially over the summer!
I'm nervous about too much change all at once.
If you've thought about applying for the Outgrow the Grind women's circle but you don't know if it's right for you, I want to make it easier for you to decide.
⏰ Good reason #1: "I don't have time."
Is it that you don't have time or that you just don't have a lot of practice prioritizing yourself?
[And when you do, you feel guilty about it because it feels "selfish"?]
There's a reason I created this program for people-pleasers, high-achievers, and fixers who tend to be last on their own list!
I bet you're exceptional at tending to everyone else's needs.
Out of every woman that's filled out an application for this program in the last 2+ years, all but one has given herself a 5 out of 5 on the question "How good are you at tending to other people's needs?"
[The one outlier gave herself a 4 out of 5.]
Grocery run for a neighbor in need? You're on it.
That parent committee at your kid's school that needs more volunteers? Absolutely!
Help another family member move? Oh, you bet.
Leading another project at work in addition to your regular workload because you're the most capable person on the team? Bring it on.
One of the foundations of the program is that because we're meeting every other week, it makes you carve out time for yourself + your needs + your dreams.
It's not like the vacation days you never take or that nail salon gift card collecting dust in your junk drawer - tending to YOU is built in!
Because every other Tuesday from 7-8:30pm ET, you're with us! Your kids, your partner, your work inbox, and whoever else wants your attention can't reach you for those 90 minutes.
Squeezing your needs into the little slivers of time between what others needs from you is draining your battery.
And because you want to be seen as helpful and capable; you keep saying yes, but it's hard to tell if what's on your calendar are the RIGHT things.
Do your commitments support what matters most to you or bring you energy?
How much energy is putting everyone else's needs before your own costing you?
The women's circle will help you prioritize yourself and set boundaries without feeling guilty or selfish.
💸 Good reason #2: "I don't want to invest good money in yet ANOTHER program that might not work for me."
Oooohhhhh yes, I'm with you. I've been there too - embarrassed by the money I spent on things that I bought, didn't ever watch the recordings, or finish [or even start in some cases, oops], or programs that [sadly] just didn't help me.
Let me ask you about those programs you bought...
Were there more than six participants in the program or could you hide in the back, distracting yourself by focusing on other people's experience instead of your own?
Did the person leading the program know your name?
Was there too much material jammed into a short period of time, leading you into even more overwhelm [and then guilt for feeling overwhelmed] than before the program started?
Did you have unlimited access to the person who led the program that you could text to share your wins or ask questions to?
This group coaching circle is intentionally very small - there's only room for six women. There is some work that you'll do outside of our group sessions every two weeks, but not so much that you'll be buried in homework or get discouraged because you feel "behind."
One past participant, Ashley, did absolutely nothing in between the calls except listen to the playlists and her experiencing (in her own words) was still "life changing"!
The value of this circle is phenomenal. I haven't seen ANY small programs with BOTH group and 1:1 coaching for these three price points (I offer tiered, equity-based pricing so you choose what you pay)!
With only five other women in the circle, you will be seen, heard, and supported.
You’ll engage in exercises and practices, and share what you’re learning as you grow. As your coach and guide, I'm 100% committed to making sure you're getting exactly what you came for.
[And I promise, I'll know your name! 😜]
📆 Good reason #3: "A six month program is too big of a commitment for me, especially over the Summer!"
It is a big commitment, you're exactly right! In order to change old habits and patterns, we need to not only learn new tools and practices, we also need time to integrate what we’re learning into our daily lives.
My hunch is that you’re really good at rushing and multi-tasking and juggling a lot all at once.
Is it true?
To me, true + sustainable growth requires time, consistency, spaciousness and commitment.
In an 8-week or 3-month program, you could make some progress before the program ends. But I want you to have more than just a kickstart.
Plus, we’re building a community with each other, and that too is an investment over time.
Your precious needs and dreams deserve your loving attention and tending now - not next year or in five years - right now.
Because you pouring most of your time, energy and attention to others instead of yourself won't stop unless you intentionally make a change - even in the Summer!
Wouldn't a Summer where you feel full permission to say YES to what you want and NO to what you don't want feel fantastic?
🤯 Good reason #4: "I'm nervous about too much change all at once."
To all of you people-pleasers, high-achievers, and fixers: this program won't stop you from being a caring person, achieving a lot, or being depended on at work or home.
It will change HOW you approach both empathy, achievement, and fixing.
During and after the program, your compassion won't just flow out to others, you'll also learn to be more caring and compassionate with yourself. And your achieving will shift to what honors your unique values, not pushing yourself past your limits, perfectionism, or always feeling like you have to prove that you're good enough.
By the end of our six months together, you’ll be able to…
Feel a renewed sense of purpose and passion in your life
Recognize and tend to your own needs and goals
Be more and do less
Permission to set and maintain boundaries that make your energy and efforts more effective (and better for everyone!)
Tend to your big dreams that scare and excite you
And, you don’t have to wait until the program is over to see results. You’ll notice you have more energy, clarity, and inner calm just a few weeks in.
At this point, you should have just about everything you need to make the best choice for you.
And if that leads to outgrowing the grind and the guilt so you can let yourself tend to your needs and dreams too, I can't wait to read your application.
If there are more reasons for you not joining us that you want to ask me about, send me an email and I'll get back to you right away. We can touch base via email or a quick call in a no pressure, easeful way.
Apply now (the deadline to apply is tomorrow, June 10th at midnight ET)!
