Because it’s never too late to plan your
Extraordinary Life!

Practical, story-driven life planning for your second act!

Can You Hear Your Call to Adventure?

You’ve built a good life.
But lately, you’ve been asking questions you can’t ignore:

“Is this it?”

“Why doesn’t it feel like mine?”

“What the hell comes next?”

You’re not broken —
You’re just between chapters.
And it’s time to pick up the pen.

There’s another act waiting to be written in your life story!

Based on timeless storytelling principles (and tailored for the unique challenges and opportunities of midlife),
this immersive 7-stage journey will help you take back the pen and author a bold, inspiring new chapter in your life.

You can transform your life in only 7 chapters!

Any of these sound familiar?

  • Stagnation and "What's Next?"

    Tired of going through the motions every day? Feel like you’re stuck on someone else’s track? Our course will show you how to channel restlessness into a meaningful call to adventure.

  • Self-Doubt & Age Barriers

    Worried you’re “too old” to change careers, start a passion project, or learn new skills? The Heroine’s Adventure reframes midlife self-doubt into a powerful story arc — turning fear into fuel.

  • Societal “Shoulds” & Caregiving

    Many women spend decades living by others’ expectations — raising children, supporting partners, caring for aging parents. If you’re ready to shine in your own right, we’ll guide you through a transformative journey that honors both your responsibilities and your personal calling.

  • Overwhelm & Lack of Clarity

    Description Midlife can be a swirling storm of too many options, or none at all. Our step-by-step structure ensures you’re never alone in the woods. We’re with you, lighting the path at every turn.

It doesn’t have to be this way!

The Heroine's Adventure is Different

 

Based on the Secrets of Story
Stories are hardwired into our brains. Using familiar story arcs—like the Hero’s Journey and the Virgin’s Promise—our method taps into the power of narrative, making goal-setting and life-planning exciting, intuitive, and deeply personal.

7 Transformational Chapters
Each stage—from Recognizing Yourself as a Heroine to Returning With the Elixir—is designed to spark self-discovery, build resilience, and yield tangible next steps. You’ll learn to see challenges as catalysts, unlock your hidden resources, and emerge with lasting change.

Created for Midlife Reinvention
Unlike generic personal-development courses, The Heroine’s Adventure meets you exactly where you are in life. We delve into everything from unexpected pivots (career, family) to navigating time and energy constraints in your 40s, 50s, and beyond.

Chapter 1

RECOGNIZING YOURSELF AS THE HEROINE

Welcome to the official starting line of your Heroine’s Adventure! In this chapter, you’ll learn to see yourself as the main character of your own story. We’ll explore how real change begins by understanding where you’re starting from and what you’re truly capable of achieving. Below is a straightforward rundown of what’s inside this first stage and exactly what you’ll take away from it.

  • Introduction to Story Structure – Dive into the three-act journey and see how it parallels real life. Your “Ordinary World” is the baseline from which every change begins.

  • Comforts & Constraints – Identify what’s working well and what might be holding you back. Start a “Things That Need Fixing” list to keep track of areas you want to change.

  • Claim the Lead – Embrace your role as the main character ready for transformation.

  • Documenting Key Chapters of Your Life – Break your life into manageable “chapters,” each with significant stories.

  • Identifying Limiting Beliefs & Wounds – See how certain memories or experiences have shaped untrue beliefs about yourself—and practice rewriting them.

  • Why You Need a Personal “Brand” – Just like companies have brands, you need a guiding identity for your life.

  • Values & Role – Shift from defining yourself by roles (e.g., mother, entrepreneur) to defining yourself by your values.

  • Create your Heroine’s Compass & Soul Motto – Craft statements that capture what you stand for, what you promise to yourself and others, and the key motto that sums up who you truly are

Chapter 2

ENCOUNTERING A PIVOTAL SHIFT

Now that you’ve defined your Ordinary World and begun to see yourself as the main character of your story, it’s time to introduce the element that jolts everything forward: the Pivotal Shift. Think of it as the spark that lights the fuse—an event or challenge you didn’t see coming and can’t ignore. This chapter will help you understand how these twists appear in your life, why they’re vital, and—most importantly—how your power to choose determines what happens next.

  • High Stakes & Urgency – Why every good story (and life adventure) hinges on a change that can’t be brushed aside.

  • Become a Choice Agent – Learn techniques and gain tools designed to convert you into a conscious decision-maker. Become the author that shapes your story.

  • Step into Action – Transform life’s curveballs into catalysts for positive change.

Chapter 3

EMBARKING ON A JOURNEY

You’ve recognized yourself as the main character (Chapter 1) and witnessed how pivotal shifts can nudge (or shove) you into action (Chapter 2). Now, it’s time to embark on the journey itself. In this chapter, you’ll explore the mindset that carries you from the safety of your Ordinary World into the great unknown—and learn how to uncover your true motivations (the “Ultimate Whys”) so that each step you take is powered by genuine purpose rather than limiting beliefs or superficial wants.

  • Ultimate Whys – Learn to articulate the core reasons behind your biggest goals—so you pursue what’s truly important, not just what looks good on paper.

  • Moving from Wants to Needs – Bridge the gap between external ambitions and internal fulfillment by aligning your goals with your deeper “why.”

  • Identify Your Current “Projects” – Get clarity on the major areas where you invest significant time.

  • Expose No Whys or Deceptive Whys – Uncover tasks or commitments that might lack genuine purpose—or are driven by a limiting belief.

  • Refining Your Whys – Transform vague or superficial motivations into emotionally resonant, clearly stated Ultimate Whys.

Chapter 4

TESTS, ALLIES, ENEMIES

You’ve already learned how pivotal shifts happen, how to recognize yourself as the main character, and how to uncover your core motivations. Now, we focus on the dynamic roles played by the people and forces around us. In every journey, you’ll encounter allies, adversaries, and those who straddle the line between friend and foe. Understanding these archetypes—in stories and real life—will give you valuable tools for identifying helpful resources, overcoming challenges, and growing stronger through every test you face.

  • Introduction to Archetypes – Learn the roles they play in the world and your life.

  • Create your Heroine's Tribe – Or cast your characters. Identify the roles people play in your life and decide their function.

  • Archetypal Plans – Learn how to deal with the people who are throwing challenges or causing strife, by addressing their archetype.

Chapter 5

FACING CHALLENGES

Now, it’s time to embrace the inevitable truth of every adventure: challenges lie ahead. Rather than avoiding or dreading them, you’ll discover how challenges drive genuine growth, reveal core themes in your life, and ultimately help you become who you’re meant to be. We’ll also delve into practical ways to prepare for these tests by managing your personal resources—your “Treasure Bag” of money, time, skills, energy, and passion.

  • Story Parallels – Explore how authors deliberately “test” their main characters to develop them fully—just as life “tests” us.

  • Your Personal Definition of Success – Moving from the Ordinary World to a new reality means you can’t live in both worlds. Face the discomfort that leads to genuine discovery.

  • Your Treasure Bag – Identify your resources and build your treasure bag to carry with you on your journeys.

Chapter 6

UNDERGOING A PERSONAL TRANSFORMATION

When you reach this stage, you’ve recognized yourself as the heroine, encountered pivotal shifts, embarked on your journey, gathered allies, and faced real challenges. Now comes the phase of profound transformation—the inner shift that signifies real, lasting change. This moment in the Heroine’s Adventure parallels what’s often called “The Ordeal” or “The Belly of the Whale” in classic story structure, where the protagonist faces an old belief or aspect of their identity that must “die” so something new and more substantial can be reborn. This means shedding outdated mindsets, letting go of limiting beliefs, and emerging with greater self-awareness and resilience.

  • Creating your Heroine’s Map—This is it! Now that you know and have practiced the seven stages, it’s time to integrate them into a daily or weekly practice whenever you decide to create or refresh a transformation in your life. You will create your Heroine’s Map to guide you on your journeys toward your Extraordinary Life.

Chapter 7

BRINGING HOME THE ELIXIRS

It’s the journey, not the destination. Why? Because it's during your journeys, you will collect elixirs. Elixirs are the motivation to continue on your journey, and they benchmark your growth. If you are blindly wandering through life without checking your Heroine’s Adventure Map, you won’t notice all of the tiny but significant elixirs you claim along the path of your journey. They mark your achievements, which you can share as a legacy with your community.

  • Bringing home the elixirs – Share what you’ve learned and incorporate it into your ongoing life, ensuring each journey’s gifts aren’t lost.

 FAQs

 
  • Not at all. The Heroine’s Adventure uses story structure as a lens for transformation—not as a writing course. You won’t be writing essays or novels. Instead, you’ll be reflecting on your own life in a narrative way. It’s accessible to everyone, whether you’re a spreadsheet thinker or a journal junkie.

  • This course was designed for midlife women with real responsibilities. Each module is self-paced, and the Questbooks can be completed in bite-sized sections. You can move through the material in as little as 30 minutes a week or take longer when life requires it. This is transformation on your timeline.

  • That depends on which tier you choose:

    • Origin Pass: Self-paced with no live access.

    • Legacy Vault: Includes community feedback, bonus trainings, and early access to materials.

    • Master Collection: Includes everything above, plus the option to upgrade to private coaching at checkout.

    Every tier comes with structured guidance through the Adventure Quests—you’ll never feel lost.

  • It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.Most personal development programs offer vague inspiration or endless introspection. This course gives you structure.
    You’ll follow a clear 7-stage narrative arc rooted in timeless storytelling—complete with prompts, planning tools, and a Questbook for every stage. You’re not just growing. You’re plotting your reinvention like the main character in a great story.
