MAKING ROOM
A 5-Week Virtual Coaching Group for Women Who Carry a Lot

You’re capable. You’re responsible. You’re often the one people count on.

But sometimes, without even realizing it, you start carrying responsibilities that were never yours to begin with.

What would it feel like to say yes because you genuinely want to—not because guilt, expectation, or responsibility made the decision for you?

This fall, I’m bringing together a very small group of women to learn and practice a different way.

Over five weeks, we’ll practice saying no, making room for our own needs, tolerating the discomfort that can come with doing things differently, and becoming more intentional about what actually deserves our yes.

Starting October
Tuesdays at lunchtime
5 weeks • Virtual • Small group

This is a coaching and educational group, not psychotherapy.

If you’ve are thinking, “ I need this “, DM me GROUP and I’ll send you more information.

If you’re the one everyone relies on, this can be really hard to recognize.

You see what needs to be done.

You know you can do it.

So before you even ask yourself whether you want to—or whether you have the capacity—you’ve already said yes.

And eventually, you get overwhelmed with things you technically “can” carry…

but were never all yours to carry.

Maybe the better question isn’t:

“Can I handle this?”

But:

“Is this actually mine to carry”?

Most boundary advice stops too early. It teaches you how to say no, but not what to do with the guilt afterward… I’ve been thinking a lot lately about what it looks like to practice it together… ̳i̳v̳e̳w̳i̳t̳h̳i̳n̳t̳e̳n̳t̳i̳o̳n̳

The ironically thing I’ve learned: The most productive part of my workday is often the part where I stop trying to be productive.

A walk.
Lunch without working.
Prayer.
A few quiet minutes.

That space helps me return with clearer judgment, greater presence, and more patience.

Rest doesn’t take me away from the work & life.

It changes how I show up for it.

Living with intention doesn’t always mean making huge changes… sometimes, it looks like deciding what’s important for you this week before others decide it doesn’t you… ̳i̳v̳e̳w̳i̳t̳h̳i̳n̳t̳e̳n̳t̳i̳o̳n̳

Living with intention doesn’t always mean making huge changes. Sometimes… it looks like protecting one hour for lunch. That’s how I started… ̳i̳v̳e̳w̳i̳t̳h̳i̳n̳t̳e̳n̳t̳i̳o̳n̳

I don’t know how many years any of us have left.

But I do know this...

The wonderful people I work with rarely regret not checking one more email.

They regret how often they ignored themselves while taking care of everything else.

Somewhere along the way, many of us learned that being responsible meant always being available.

But what if living intentionally means something different?
If nothing changed over the next 5 or 10years, would you be okay with the direction your life is heading? ̳i̳v̳e̳w̳i̳t̳h̳i̳n̳t̳e̳n̳t̳i̳o̳n̳ #ᴡᴏᴍᴇɴᴡʜᴏʟᴇᴀᴅ

One of the biggest lessons burnout taught me wasn’t about work.

It was about permission.

Permission to stop measuring my life by someone else’s definition of success.

Permission to trust what my body had been trying to tell me for a long time.

Permission to build something sustainable instead of simply impressive.

I still believe in working hard and deeply care about helping people.

I’m just no longer willing to sacrifice myself to prove it.
