You’ve listened to the podcast.
You’ve had the insights.
You’ve recognized yourself in the patterns.
And then real life happens.
You’re in a conversation.
Someone’s upset.
You feel the pull to fix, explain, or override yourself.
And suddenly, everything you know feels hard to actually do. Or you recognize that you’re unhappy with what’s happening, but you can’t see where you have power, choice, or responsibility.
That’s the gap this closes.
What This Is
This is a small, 4-week guided experience where we take one focused topic and actually apply it in real life.
Each week, you’ll:
- listen to a specific podcast episode
- reflect on how it shows up for you
- talk through real situations
- and practice doing something different
Each circle focuses on a specific theme and includes carefully selected podcast episodes, reflection prompts, and live group discussions to help you apply what you're learning in real life.
In From Reacting to Choosing, we’ll explore the subtle ways we give away our power, react from old patterns, and wait for other people or circumstances to change. Through carefully selected podcast episodes, reflection prompts, live discussion, and practical tools, you’ll begin identifying where you have more agency than you may realize.
Upcoming topics include:
✓ From Reacting to Choosing Sept. - Oct. 2026
✓ Family Boundaries
✓ Social Boundaries
✓ Emotional Boundaries
Topics and dates may change based on participant interest and feedback.
Past topics included:
✓ Pilot: Internal Boundaries May 2026
✓ Workplace Boundaries July 2026

Who This Circle Is For
From Reacting to Choosing is for women who:
• don’t think of themselves as victims but sometimes feel powerless to change what’s happening
• spend a great deal of energy thinking about what other people should or shouldn’t be doing
• feel responsible for fixing, managing, rescuing, or preventing problems
• automatically react, explain, defend, withdraw, or take over when emotionally activated
• repeatedly find themselves in frustrating situations that seem to involve different people but feel strangely familiar
• struggle to see their choices when someone else is upset, difficult, disappointing, or unwilling to change
• understand personal responsibility intellectually but don’t always recognize where they’re giving away their power
• want to respond more consciously without blaming or shaming themselves
This Circle May Be Especially Helpful If...
- you’re waiting for someone else to change before you can feel better
- you often feel trapped, overlooked, mistreated, or taken advantage of
- you over-help and then feel resentful when your efforts aren’t appreciated
- you find yourself replaying situations and building a case against someone in your mind
- you move between feeling powerless, trying to rescue, and becoming controlling or critical
- you want to become an actor in your own life rather than continually reacting to it

Want More Support Creating the Pause Before You React?
You don’t need any previous experience with my work to participate in this circle.
If you’d like additional support learning how to stay connected to yourself when guilt, fear, pressure, or emotional activation appears, Boundaries That Hold provides a deeper foundation in internal safety.

What People Are Saying...
I got this message on the left after the first session of the Pilot Podcast Integration Circle on internal boundaries.
This is exactly why I created this experience!!
Most people already understand boundaries intellectually. What they struggle with is staying connected to themselves when discomfort appears.
That’s the work we’re doing together: learning how to notice internal signals, tolerate discomfort without self-abandonment, and create internal safety in real time.
The quotes below are also after our first session. I can't wait to hear what else comes up in weeks 2-4!
Insight Doesn't Create Change. Integration Does.
Over four weeks, you’ll listen, reflect, discuss, and practice alongside other women who are learning to recognize reactive patterns and reclaim their ability to choose.
You don’t have to control other people, eliminate every difficult circumstance, or always know the right thing to do. You can learn to pause, identify what’s actually yours, and take the next action that aligns with the person you want to be.
If you’re ready to move from reacting to choosing, I’d love to have you join us.
