The Practical Reset for Smart Women Who Are So Damn Tired of Their Own Outdated Patterns
Introducing: How to Stop Feeling Like Sh*t—The 8-Week Experience
A quick story…
Years ago, a client came to me frustrated and overwhelmed.
She was constantly reacting to her family’s behavior—snapping, shutting down, feeling resentful—and didn’t like who she was becoming. I asked her about boundaries.
“I have boundaries,” she told me, exasperated.
Then after a pause, she wondered aloud:
“Well… I think I do. But if I never actually told them… how would they know?”
Boom.
She had done what so many of us do:
Gotten clear in her own head about what she needed… but never said it out loud. Never set the boundary.
So of course, nothing changed.
We worked on how to communicate clearly, set boundaries with compassion, and move through the discomfort that often comes with doing something new.
And that’s the difference between insight and action.
You can read all the books. Listen to every podcast. Follow all the right people.
But real change comes when you move from “knowing” to actually doing.
You need tools. You need support. You need a plan and a community.
That’s what this 8-week program is all about.
You Know These Patterns Too Well…
You want to feel confident. Grounded. Clear on what to do.
But instead…
👉 You’re often second-guessing yourself, unsure what you even want—because you’ve been disconnected from your values for so long (like, what even are values?).
👉 You keep saying yes when you mean no, then end up exhausted, resentful, and blaming yourself for not having “better boundaries” like you keep hearing you’re supposed to.
👉 You beat yourself up for not doing things perfectly—then procrastinate or avoid them altogether.
👉 You reach for wine, your phone, work, or another distraction to avoid feelings that feel too uncomfortable, overwhelming, or messy.
👉 You try to control everything (yourself, your people, the outcome)—and it leaves you anxious, reactive, and exhausted.
👉 You get excited about change, but then… sabotage. You ghost your goals. You fall back into old patterns. You convince yourself you were never really ready, or that you just can’t do it.
👉 You know fear is holding you back—but you can’t quite name what it’s really about or how to shift it.
👉 You crave integration. Consistency. Accountability. A way to actually live the work you’ve been learning, instead of ping-ponging between breakthroughs and burnout.
Sound familiar?
You're not broken. These are the ways you've learned to survive. But you're ready for something more—and this program is how you build it.
Maybe you’ve read How to Stop Feeling Like Sh*t. Maybe you haven’t.
Either way—you’ve probably had those “aha” moments where you know something needs to change.
But insight alone isn’t what transforms your life.
Awareness is just the beginning.
Real change comes when you practice showing up differently—consistently, and with support.
That’s why this 8-week experience exists:
⚡️ To help you actually live the shifts you’ve been trying to make.
⚡️ To give you structure, strategy, and support—not just more information.
⚡️ To turn your insight into real momentum—and your momentum into lasting change.
Once we receive your registration payment, we’ll be in touch with the next steps.
What if your life– and your habits– started to feel like they were actually yours?
✅ You know what matters most to you—and you start making decisions based on that, not guilt or fear.
✅ You say “no” with minimal to no guilt hangover. You speak up without spiraling for hours afterward.
✅ You catch yourself in the act of numbing—but instead of spiraling, you pause, breathe, get curious and stay with yourself.
✅ You stop chasing perfection—and start showing up as the human you actually are (and liking her a whole lot more) with compassion and kindness.
✅ You loosen your grip on control—and start learning to trust yourself to handle whatever comes.
✅ You stop ghosting your own growth. You show up. Even when it’s messy. Especially when it’s messy.
✅ You name the fear. You see the old story. And you choose something new—even just 10% braver.
✅ You don’t feel like you’re starting from scratch every Monday—you’re building something solid, and it’s yours.
That’s what happens when you don’t just “know better”—you do differently.
That’s what happens when you stop doing it alone.
Every week, you’ll dive into a core theme that’s been holding you back—and finally learn how to shift it for good. This isn’t about fixing yourself. It’s about finally understanding what’s going on beneath the surface so you can move differently. From overthinking and burnout to clarity and momentum—start doing what actually moves the needle.
Week 1:
Know Your Values (5/15)
The foundation of everything.
You’ll identify your core values (not what you think they should be), so you can start making decisions that actually feel aligned—without second-guessing yourself every time.
Week 2:
People-Pleasing & Boundaries (5/22)
How to stop abandoning yourself for others.
We’ll untangle the guilt and discomfort around setting boundaries—and rewrite the story that says your needs aren’t important.
Week 3:
Perfectionism (5/29)
The “never enough” loop ends here.
You’ll spot your perfectionist patterns in real time and learn how to take messy, aligned action anyway.
Week 4:
Numbing Out (6/12)
Why you shut down—and how to show up instead.
We’ll get real about the habits you turn to when things get hard—and find new ways to meet discomfort with care instead of avoida
Week 5:
Control (6/19)
Let go of what’s draining you.
Learn how the illusion of control keeps you from trust, rest, and real growth—and how to shift into a more empowering kind of strength.
Week 6:
Self-Sabotage (6/26)
Understand your resistance (instead of fighting it).
You’ll uncover the hidden ways you’ve been getting in your own way—and get tools to move forward with self-compassion and clarity.
Week 7:
Fear, Resistance & Rewriting the Script (7/3)
Your story isn’t over.
We’ll identify the core beliefs that keep you stuck (like “I’m too much” or “I don’t know what I’m doing”)—and rewrite them with language that actually moves you.
Week 8:
Integration & Moving Forward (7/10)
You know too much to go back now.
We’ll bring it all together with tools, rituals, and a personal plan to keep showing up as the version of you that’s done feeling like shit.

“Before I signed up for the class I felt lost. Somewhere in life I lost my ability to trust my instincts and know my decisions were the right ones for me.
I feel much more confident now. I feel like I know myself better and I am happier with myself. I also realized that I needed to set boundaries with some people in my life. I’ve looked to them for approval way too often and I am scared to disappoint any of them. From small decisions to big decisions and this needed to end. Although boundaries are never easy, I now have the tools to have the conversations and feel good about it and about myself.
Not setting those boundaries creates a lot of worry, guilt and indecisiveness in my life that leads to lashing out on people I care about and perfectionism. Now I can change all that.
My favorite part of the class were the weekly calls. Getting to interact directly with Andrea is very valuable.
I feel a sense of calmness in my life. I know who I am and what my values are. I no longer doubt my decisions; big or small.
Thank you so much for the gift of the course you offer women! It has been life changing for me!” *

“Before the class started, I was feeling a little lost and completely unfocused. I was feeling very insecure as well. Now, I have an understanding of why I may be feeling a certain way. I have learned that others’ actions or reactions to me have nothing to do with me.
I also enjoyed the trigger work and self compassion, more specifically I now have the tools to pay attention to when I’m judging myself and how to stop and “re-route” those thoughts.
My favorite part was the values work. I had never before taken the time to think about my values and now that I know them, I feel like I have a North Star that guides me toward my best self. It brings me confidence to know that when I’m feeling negative, insecure or avoiding situations I am out of alignment with my values and I know how to change it. The most important thing I learned is that I have power with awareness, and that is very freeing!” *

“I had developed severe anxiety and the daily activities I once loved no longer were easy to accomplish. I felt like I wanted to do so much more every day but could barely get through the day without feeling like I was enough. My career was helping people feel good about their bodies but I could not push myself. At my breaking point I realized I was no longer helping myself succeed but rather holding myself back from growing. I relied on too many people to determine my own happiness.
The only hesitations I had about taking this class came with self-doubt and fear of disappointing myself. If I didn’t take this time to work on me then why would I add more stress? However, I realized I am most important in my life and it’s time to take charge of my own happiness.
My biggest takeaway has been learning how I tick and why I move the way I do. I’m allowed to feel my emotions but that taking the time to really open up to my closest friends and family allows me to grow and learn from my choices and experiences that way I keep moving forward.
I would recommend this to women in my life that go through the motions and ignore the reality of their emotions they’re facing daily at home, work, in relationships, and with themselves.” *
