Finding Your Happy Place: A 4-week hands-on exploration into reflection, resilience, and creativity

Starting January 5, 2026

January is a strange month.

The holidays end, the lights come down, and life suddenly becomes quiet.
The days are short. The energy dips. Many people feel heavier, more emotional, or simply unmotivated. Researchers even note that January is often the month when mood and wellbeing take the biggest hit.

But January also gives us something special:
a natural pause — a moment to reset, reflect, and begin again.

That’s exactly why this is the perfect time to start Finding Your Happy Place.

This is a pilot course — intimate, friendly, and experimental in the best way.
We’ll explore together.
We’ll learn together.
We’ll start the year together.

My hope is that by the end of January, you feel lighter, clearer, and more grounded — with a renewed sense of possibility for the year ahead.

How the course works

Each week has a theme that builds on the last:

Week 1

Understanding Yourself Through Life Challenges

Why you feel the way you do, what shapes your inner world, and how to meet yourself with honesty.

Week 2

Cultivating Resilience and Self Compassion

Learning to soften self-criticism, handle emotional dips, and strengthen your internal support system.

Week 3

Creativity as a Tool for Personal Growth

Using simple creative exercises to access clarity, perspective, and emotional release.

Week 4

Finding Your Happy Place

Identifying what brings you calm, joy, alignment — and building practices to return to it any time.

Weekly Rhythm

Every week follows a gentle, steady flow:

Days 1–5:
Explore your guided worksheet on your own — a blend of reflection prompts, creative practices, and small experiments you can weave into your day.

Day 6:
A personal pause. Time to reflect, rest, and let the week’s insights settle.

Day 7 (Sunday):
A live group call — a supportive space to share, listen, ask questions, and deepen the week’s theme together.

Additional Support (Optional)

You’ll also have the option to schedule two 30-minute one-on-one calls with me:

One in Week 1 or 2
To set intentions, personalize your journey, and receive tailored guidance.
A second call in Week 3 or 4, or anytime afterward
To integrate your insights and support your next steps.

These are completely optional but often deeply helpful.

let’s recap what you’ll get

Guided weekly worksheets

Filled with reflection prompts, creative exercises, and gentle practices
→ learn at your own pace, in your own way

A weekly live call

A warm space for reflection, sharing, and integration
→ learn with and from one another

Access to me and a small circle of like-minded people on Teams

A supportive corner where you can check in, ask questions, share reflections, and stay accountable throughout the 4 weeks
→ stay connected and supported between sessions

Optional 1:1 support

Two personal calls for deeper clarity and guidance
→ learn in a way that truly fits you

Who this course is for

This course is for you if:

You’ve been feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or emotionally drained
and you want a gentle reset rather than another push to “do more.”
You’re going through a transition — in identity, career, relationships, or simply how you feel inside —
and you’re looking for steadiness and direction.
You’re tired of carrying everything on your own
and crave a small, supportive group where it’s safe to show up as you are.
You want time and space to reflect
but don’t know where to start or how to structure that reflection.
You’re a creative spirit — or someone who used to be — who feels stuck
and you’re longing to reconnect with inspiration, expression, or the part of you that once felt alive and imaginative.
You’re curious about creativity as a tool for emotional wellbeing
even if you don’t think of yourself as “creative.”
You want 2026 to feel different — calmer, clearer, more grounded, more purposeful—
and you’re willing to give yourself a month of intentional practice.
You’re drawn to learning in a quiet, thoughtful, human way
without pressure, judgment, or performance.

This is a gentle course for gentle people —
for anyone who wants to reconnect with themselves, rebuild resilience, and begin the year with intention.

Finding Your Happy Place is designed with the challenges of midlife in mind — shaped both by my own lived experiences and by the insights from my research dissertation, Lived Experiences of Depression and Overcoming Depression in Midlife.
The emotional shifts, identity questions, and transitions that often surface during this period are real, tender, and deeply human. But this course is open to everyone.

The themes we explore — reflection, resilience, creativity, grounding, and reconnecting with yourself — belong to all of us, at any age.
If something in these words feels familiar or comforting, you are welcome here.

What You’ll Need

The free Teams app, where our weekly calls and small group community will meet
A quiet corner for your weekly reflections, the Sunday calls, and any 1:1 sessions, a space where you can settle in, listen, and show up for yourself
A notebook or journal for your weekly worksheets and reflections
Curiosity, openness, and a little time each week to care for your emotional world and be surprised by what you discover
Commitment to yourself and this process, even on the days it feels a little hard

Enrollment & Pricing

Let me be completely transparent with you.
I struggled with pricing this program. Truly.

I kept asking myself: How do you put a number on the time, care, and heart that go into something like this? My own life experience, studies, and research — and building a course entirely from scratch…

I found myself going in circles.

I looked at the worksheets I designed, the weekly calls I’ll be hosting, the Teams community, and the support I’ll be offering each week — and I kept struggling.
Not because I don’t value my work, but because I wanted the price to reflect the effort behind it while still keeping it accessible, especially as this is my very first course.

Balancing those things was harder than I expected.

And layered on top of that was my own experience with coaching.
I know the coaching landscape well — I’ve taken plenty of classes myself. And each time, I watched the price jump the moment a group call, let alone a personal call, was included. I could never afford the personal-call option, and that stayed with me.

So when I created this course, I wanted people to have access to the kind of support I once needed but couldn’t reach.

With all of that in mind, here’s the value I came up with for each part on its own:

Guided Weekly Worksheets

$50 each × 4 weeks → $200

Weekly Live Group Sessions (90 minutes each)

$100 per call × 4 → $400

Access to Me & our Small Circle on Teams

$10 per day × 28 days → $280

Optional 1:1 Support

$150 per session × 2 → $300

Total Program Value: $880

Total Program Value Including 1:1 Support: $1,180

And yet…

The price for the full 4-week program:

⭐ Your Enrollment Price: $49

👉 Join the January Pilot Group

Why so low?

Because this is a pilot program.
Because I want this work to reach people, not intimidate them.
Because I want the barrier to entry to be small and the impact to be meaningful.
Because we are building this together, and that matters to me.

You’ll receive nearly $900 worth of support (or $1,200 with the optional 1:1 sessions) for $49

That’s $1.75 a day to fill your emotional cup, every day for 28 days.

No upsell. No hidden tiers. No pressure.

Just a gentle, guided, hands-on exploration into your happy place at a price that feels right for this beginning.

And if you truly can’t afford the $49 and still feel called to be part of this pilot, let me know.

Pilot members will be invited to leave a short review at the end of the program.
Your reflections will help me improve and support future students who may benefit from this work.

Sometimes this work opens a door to further growth and exploration.
If you feel drawn to continue in a 1:1 space, we can explore what that might look like together after this program.
