a: Mastery is based on feedback from participants in my other programs, so it’s the best of what works. The content is designed to push you out of your comfort zone, but the pacing is not overwhelming. The combination of coaching calls, written assignments, video check-ins, mini break-out groups, and accountability is designed to challenge you from different angles. There is nowhere to hide in Mastery, and that’s the point because that’s where change happens! And if you haven’t done group coaching before, you don’t know the power of being with others who understand you. Knowing you’re not alone breaks down the common belief there is something wrong with you. It’s pretty powerful and life-changing.

a: Change doesn’t happen overnight! It takes time to dig into your belief system and change patterns that were developed in childhood. Twelve months lets you go through several shifts, some may feel like incremental steps; but they all lead to healthy patterns you’re able to sustain. It also provides a safe space to stumble backwards, sideways, upside down and anywhere but forward (it happens to all of us), reflect on what happened, and deepen your understanding of yourself. Most people feel skittish about a year until they are in the program and then they are thankful. You can grow a lot in a year, so take advantage! This work can take you through all different stages in your life, so having the support of coaches and other participants for a full year makes your continued growth much more likely.

a: Believing you’ll be unsuccessful is a self-worth issue. People who join may not feel great about themselves and what drives them to sign up is they are sick of the same issue! Remember until you get to I can’t do this anymore, your subconscious will say, “See, you don’t deserve this or I do not want to lose the crap I know, for what I don’t!” It will be uncomfortable, but sooo good to open yourself up to seeing and doing things differently. Everything in life has a priority and your life reflects what you prioritize, so where will you be one year from now, if you keep doing the same thing? There are no magic beans.

a: How often do you say: I can change on my own? Or…things are not that bad? If that is still your mantra then you will avoid change. Once you get sick of the same answer to those same questions and know that you need help it is when the ocean parts ways and you’re ready. It’s when what you want becomes your priority rather than avoiding change or pain. When you say yes to yourself, and don’t find excuses (I don’t have the money or the time or whatever) then you should sign up. Your subconscious does a great job of trying to keep you the same; it believes saber-toothed tigers are out there. Ask yourself is: Am I fulfilled in my life and relationships? If no, the next one is: Am I willing to dig deep to uncover the roots of my unhappiness? If so, then sign up! My tribe is a lot of Avoidants (anxious ones), which means you’ll be amongst friends who are encouraging and supportive.

a: We have all tried some combination of self-help books, podcasts, courses, spiritual talks, etc. But where are you? How long does that information last? All my avoidants are not group people, until they are in this group. They come to realize how life-altering it is—minds blown!! We hold you accountable so you take action even when it’s uncomfortable. Doing work on your own makes it too easy to HIDE from the hard stuff… which means big shifts won’t happen. You may believe you’re a private person, but shame can keep you from letting others know your issues… and shame wins every time you shut down, so it’s a BIG reason you SHOULD join. You think you are alone in your struggles. You’re not. Mastery will show you that.
