New Year's Resolutions: Let's face it. They're bullshit.
Besides, we all know COVID-19/Omicron doesn't give a flying flute about your plans for the future!
So how do you prepare for the new year after a year like 2021? (or 2020?!) The years that will go down in history books as ummm... (rollercoaster? dumpster fire? nightmare? joy ride? adventure? blackout? parachute ripcord?)
Obviously, your plans for 2022 are gonna to take more than a spoonful of motivational sugar and that extra poof of fairy dust in your back pocket.
<Enter SEASONS OF BRAVERY RETREAT, wearing a super hero cape>
If you're ready to punt 2021 swiftly into orbit AND want 2022 to be the year you...
- stop burning down your life with non-decision
- get organized (in a way that works for *you*)
- shift your focus forward into the future
- and make a master game plan!
Then you'll fit right in!
Join fellow comrades and bravely look back on 2020's highs and lows so you can make grounded, resilient, flexible, and easy-to-implement plans for 2021!
Introvert Bonus: Virtual retreats let you stay snuggled up in the cozy comfort of your home.
(helloooo, soft pants! yes, please!)
Why YOU might need 2022's Seasons of Bravery Ritual & Retreat:
If you're hoping for good things from 2022 then it's likely gonna take...
- courage to make space for those big/bold things
- vulnerability (and a couple of deep breaths)
- flexibility to make all the necessary plans
- honesty to acknowledge successes or failures
- imagination to envision our next brave steps
Not everyone is up for something like that, but you're probably not just anyone, right? (Most people who end up on our website are pretty special people.) :-)
The super good news is the invaluable strengths and resources found in this process. The time, gratitude, collecting of history, and expression of creativity is a huge boost and a fantastic start to the new year.
When planning and strategizing is done in a way that works uniquely with you and your life, then creative preparation and organization becomes crucial to your resilience, flexibility, and growth.
Bonus! Rolling our sleeves up to get it done together makes doing brave things more manageable and *gasp* FUN!

Planning with a Power of Choice
Now that you're aware of the "caution zones" for 2022, we'll spend this second session and the following break pulling everything together into a game plan for the year. You'll end up with a rubric that works with you and your life's desired trajectory with room for flexibility too.
Session 6 // Day 2
1 pm - 1:45 pm CST*
Sharing & Celebration
In our final session, we'll wrap up any loose ends related to creating our map of the year. Our cherry on top of our time together is a really special group activity. You'll leave feeling ready for whatever 2022 will bring with enough time in the day to continue the preparation and celebration in your own way.

Seasons of Bravery Retreat$150.00

“Emily Ann's business coaching has made an extraordinary impact on my small music business. Her comprehensive approach to coaching meant she gave me practical tools to reduce friction, grow, and automate my business; but also held space for seasons of grief, processing of family and religious trauma, and deeper understanding of the ways anxiety and depression affect my business too. My business has nearly doubled in revenue every year for the last three years that I've worked with Emily Ann. We walk the path; she shines the light to illuminate the next step.”
