Life By Design Fall 2026 Cohort - Starts September 13
Life by Design is a 4 week program on Sunday evenings where you get a chance to slow down and set your week up for success. This isn't a "course", we guide you through a process that helps you find more time and energy in a way that actually fits your life (instead of following someone else's "formula").
Our biggest focus? When, where and how to set better boundaries and make them stick without feeling guilty.
