I get approached by people on the topic of growth, finding their voice and power, as well as needing support. The outcome of the me doing thinking time on how I can guide and support as many of you as possible in a cost efficient and time efficient way for you is ‘UNLEASHED - Group Sessions’. 

 

What is ‘UNLEASHED - Group Sessions’ & why was it created?

 

When chatting with all of you who are at the point in your life where you are looking around you; knowing that there is something more, that you are not living a fully authentic or intentional life, and that you are not in a healthy situation (whether that is mentally, emotionally, physically); there are a few struggles that come up that are causing a delay in your growth!
 

Finances: 

 

1-1 coaching/therapy is expensive. Even me, the one who is charging the prices, can see that. However, us coaches, our time is worth the price. I am definitely not going to talk about all the reasons why we are worth the money right now. It doesn’t matter if we are ‘worth the money’ or not when your bank account doesn't have the flex in it to afford us! I know, I have been there! What I do want to talk about is the fact that I understand, and I do not want finances to come in the way of walking with you in this part of your life journey and giving you all the tools that I can. Tools to give you courage and confidence in who you are and living your best and healthiest intentional life! 

 

Time:

 

Time is our most valuable and limited resource! We all lead extremely busy lives. But for too long we have been putting our own well-being aside so that we can focus on our career, family, and partner(s). Being able to invest time into yourself is an important piece of growth. Sometimes 1-1 coaching/therapy is time consuming. You meet 1/week or more! How do you arrange that around soccer practices, meetings, careers, cooking dinners, and trying to keep somewhat of a social life. 

 

Anxiety about Change:

 

Growth means being in an uncomfortable spot. Change and growth, they are not for the faint of heart. Growth means accepting that we need to thank the behaviours that got us this far, and then say goodbye to them.  All I can say to this is; if I can sit in the uncomfortable, face my fears, and come out the other side more grounded and confident in my purpose and who I am… You can too! Stop waiting and wishing for a different life or outlook… The only way it is going to happen is if you are willing to be uncomfortable and do the work. What I can promise you is that I will create a safe platform for you to grow in. 

 

So in order to facilitate addressing all of these points that cause ‘stalling’ in the growth area of your life, I created ‘UNLEASHED - Group Sessions’

 

1. Qualifications to be a member of the group:

 

• Ready to take action

• Ready to be vulnerable

• Ready to participate

• Ready go accept responsibility

• Ready to be ok being uncomfortable

• Ready to be held accountable

• Ready to be 100% committed to the group and growth

 

1.  Why do you want to be in the group?

 

So that they can be in the arena alongside other people who are working on themselves in the same way. Creating a supportive community. Accountability creates change, support maintains it. 

 

1.  What does it give them access to?

 

• Bi-weekly lives

  • This cuts down on the amount of time that is taken by meeting. 

  • The lives will take place on Facebook in the ‘UNLEASHED’ private group. No one can see this group, no one can share anything that happens within it. 

  • Those of you who do not have Facebook will need to create an account in order to take part in this. 

  • The lives are not something that you are required to be at, however it is highly suggested, that way we can be having open conversation around comments and questions that may come up! IF you cannot make the live due to prior engagement, you will need to watch it on your own time and submit 2 comments, questions or concerns that it brings up for you in the comment section.  

​

​

• Connection & Community

  • When we are going through growth in our lives, it is so important to be connected to others who are on similar journeys. When we become the only one in our network who is putting in the time and energy into our growth, it can become isolating because others just don’t understand. They lack the tools to be able to support you or be your sounding board. Being connected to other humans on the same page while growing, having an open mind and heart is vital. 

  • We become like the top 5 people we spend the most time with. Who is that for you? In this group, it will be people who are dedicated to internal growth, and supporting each other. 

​

• Support Network

  • Very similar to above! This group is creating a support network for you of other women who you can reach out to that will lovingly give you strength when you need it and hold you accountable to moving forward in your growth. 

​

• Resources/Content

  • In the Facebook group, there will be posted articles, podcasts, snippets from books, journals, and quotes that will inspire and guide you. This is to create a content library that you can turn to!

​

• Invitation to Yearly Retreat

  • As this will all be done online, I believe that connecting once a year in person is highly important. The yearly retreat will be invite only, and being a part of ‘UNLEASHED’ is your way onto the invite list. 

  • This will be a Health and Wellness Retreat that will have guests coming to give us tools in many different areas based on heart, mind, body and soul. 

​

• Guest Speakers

  • The Facebook lives will not always be just myself giving you the tools and speaking about certain topics. I will be bringing in guest speakers who I believe have more knowledge and can bring more understanding and care to the group. 

​

• Personal Journal

  • This journal is a very big part of this group. Mental health and personal growth is not like any other tangible content. How do we know if we are growing? If we are doing better, or worse?! With diets, we can keep track of our weight or keep food journals, with business we have excel and spreadsheets.. But how do we know if we are making moves inwardly?  That is the purpose of this journal. 

  • In this journal, we will have personalized trackers just for you and the journey that you want to be going on. Each day, you need to take 5 minutes and fill out. Is that getting you to sleep better? Or connect with nature? Or posts on social media? Or being present with your kids? On your intake call, we will work together to sort out what is best to take track of for you!

  • There will be accountability around this. In order to make change, we need to create new patterns and habits, using this journal is one of them. I used to be the worst at journaling, I completely understand the daunting task it is. Guess what, it still is, because I am still building this into a habit! It takes work! But, it is worth it.  

​

• GDrive Shared Folder with me 

  • You will get a shared folder with me on GDrive. For those of you who are not ‘tech savvy’, don’t worry, this is the simplest thing ever. 

  • In this folder will be where you login to your accountability charts, where you can bring comments or questions to me in a private way that is outside of the Facebook Group. As well, the trackers that are in your journal will be uploaded here so we can see your progress together!

​

1. Cost: 

$350 For the first month (includes the personalized journal cost), then $175/month after that. 

 

What are the Rules & Consequences 

​

1. The 3 ‘R’s

   1. Respect Yourself

   2. Respect Each Other

   3. Respect Your Environment

      1.  First strike: we go over the requirements and chat about if this is still right for you. 

      2.  Second strike: you will be removed from the group. The safety of this group and the individuals within it are held with utmost care. 

2. What is said in ‘UNLEASHED’, stays in ‘UNLEASHED’

   1. Yes, I quoted fight club. I take this seriously. This group is a place where we come to face ourselves, be vulnerable, authentic and real with each other, totally raw. Trust is vital. 

   2. This doesn’t mean don’t take the tools you are learning and share them with others… please do! It just means that personal information and names are to stay here. 

   3. Break it and you will be removed from the group. The safety of this group and the individuals within it are held with utmost care. 

3. You have to do the ‘Action Steps’, they are not optional. 

   1. Miss one, you get grace, but a reminder that the next one is a reassessment of if you meet the requirements.

   2. Miss two, We go over the requirements and chat about if this is still right for you. 

   3. Miss three and you will be removed from the group; but with an open invitation to come back when you are ready to take action to step into living an intentional life. 

   4. This is a very action-based group. All of us need to be able to take responsibility and carry our own weight and be putting in the uncomfortable grit. Each of us needs to share the commonality of putting our own health as a serious priority, because we will be diverse in life journeys. If you are unable to put this as a priority, it just means you aren’t ready yet and that is ok. We will be here when you are ready. 

 

 Woah! That was a lot of information, wasn’t it! Please take the time you need to go over it and really think about if this group is something for you. 

 

I want to make sure that the beautiful humans that are a part of this are ready to be taking action and ready for the big changes that are going to happen as a result of this. 

 

I believe that about you! 

So, put thinking time into yourself, into your journey, into your growth! 

 

Is it time to invest into yourself?

Is it time for you to be surrounded by other people doing the same thing so that you are supported by others who understand and are doing the work too?

 

Is it time to stop wishing for a life that you don’t have and instead gain the tools and understanding to create the life you want?

 

I hope that you see the value in this group, and know that you are worth the cost, you are worth the work, you are worth the accountability, you are worth the uncomfortable, and you are worthy of love and support. 

 

The next step is jumping on a call with me to chat through all this information and ask me any questions you might have. Then from there, it is an intake form, payment, a call with the woman who is going to make your personalized journal, getting you in the Facebook group.

 

I look forward to hearing from you and having the opportunity to walk with you a little while on your life journey!
