The Next Chapter Lab
The Lab is for women who already know what they want to work on in this next chapter and who need support in making it happen.
It is for women who find that life keeps "getting in the way" and they want to learn how to stay focused on their dreams and goals even in the middle of a global pandemic that is nothing like anything we have ever experienced before. It might seem frivolous to talk about dreams and goals at a time like this but I passionately believe that the world need us to show up fully now more than ever to transform our lives and our communities for the better in this next chapter.
The Lab is a place for planning and then taking action on your projects. Whether it's creating an exit plan from a job you hate or starting a new business or writing a book or leaving a soul-destroying relationship or moving to a new city or country or creating a new life for yourself as an empty nester or anything else that you want to do or experience in this next chapter.
My genuine hope is that The Lab becomes an invaluable resource as you:
- LEARN a framework to live more fully and courageously in this next chapter of your life;
- take ACTION to implement what you have learned; and
- enjoy the BENEFITS in your life right away.
Creating and living your most satisfying next chapter is something that can happen right now. You can make small - and yet significant - changes today that will immediately bring more joy, satisfaction and meaning to your every day life.
I know it’s tempting to keep waiting until you hear James Earl Jones’ voice tell you this “one thing” that you were born to do.
But if there’s one thing I’ve learned in my 52 years it’s that there are SO many versions of us that we could live. Each and every version could be magnificent. But all of those versions will be lost if we don’t at least try them on to see if they feel as good as we think that they will.
The Lab is for trying new things, for reconnecting with who we really are, for starting to live lives that will create irresistible obituaries. For taking our long-held dreams off hold because life is way too short to put anything off until later.
When we embrace all the experiences that have brought us to this point in our lives and choose the thread that is most meaningful to us, we can continue that thread into this next chapter. We can build upon everything we’ve done and experienced and learned this far and take it to the next level.
We can start to do that right now. Not at some point in the future when the time is “right”. That point most likely will never arrive. So grab today with both hands. Choose to make this next chapter an absolute page-turner.
QUARTERLY PLANNING SESSION:
An online workshop to help you plan your next 90 days based on the concept of The 12 Week Year which I love!! I will offer a live version of this workshop at the beginning of each quarter but there will also be a recorded version of the workshop that you can do at any time during your membership. Includes a 90 Day Planning Worksheet.
MONTHLY PLANNING SESSION:
This workshop follows on from the 90 Day planning workshop. Once you have a 90 day plan in place, the "Plan Your Month" workshop will teach you how to get into the habit of planning your next 30 days. I will offer a live version of this workshop at the beginning of each month but there will also be a recorded version of the workshop that you can do at any time during your membership.

PLAN YOUR WEEK:
You will receive the following emails from me each week:
- an email on Sunday to remind you to plan the week ahead and including a planning worksheet for you to use;
- an email on Wednesday for a mid-week check-in and to make sure that you're staying focused on the actions that matter and eliminating the actions that don't!
- an email on Friday for an end-of-week check-in with a worksheet to help you to review the past week, to get clear on what went well and what could be improved.
BI-MONTHLY "GET IT DONE" SESSIONS: twice per month I will offer online co-working sessions where we’ll meet online via Zoom so you can connect from wherever you are in the world. We will set our intentions for what we plan to work on during the next 90 minutes and I will remain available throughout the 90 minute session to answer any questions you have or to help you overcome any obstacles you’re facing. You might use the time to work on your resume or to create a draft business plan or to work on the next chapter of your book or to work on your website or to plan the logistics for creating an exhibition of your photography. It will be a time for you to focus and tackle the projects that tend to get lost in the chaos of everyday life.
Members of the Next Chapter Lab receive the following discounts:
- 10% discount on 1:1 coaching programs or sessions with me; and
- 20% discount on my courses.
Access to The Next Chapter Monthly Book Club - each month I will recommend a book that I think will inspire you as you bring your next chapter to life. I will record a Podcast episode discussing the book of the month and will provide a worksheet for you to complete as you read the book.
In October, the book will be "Big Magic: Creative living beyond fear" by Liz Gilbert which I absolutely love. My copy is full of handwritten scribbles in the margins and lots of underlining.
In November, the book will be “Untamed” by Glennon Doyle.
In December, the book will be “Your Story Is Your Power: Free Your Feminine Voice” by Elle Luna.
