3. Each week a 90-min coachsulting session -- deep dive into the Pillar(s) you want to work on, learning to honor your nervous system and body while working through triggers and activations, figuring out where your obstacles and deficits around the Pillar(s) are coming from, fears/shame/pain around areas in your life regarding these Pillar(s), working through trauma blocks, digging into the science-based information and sorting through the "deluge" together to find things that you want to try as you conquer your Pillar(s), and more!
4.  Each week a 30-min "check in" - to regroup, see what's working/not working, accountability, encouragement, celebrating small wins/gains, making necessary pivots to help you be successful in your Action List/Homework, mood check in, etc.
5. 1 hour "exit review" after all the 12-week sessions are complete - taking another Joy Scale for comparison, reviewing how you feel about your accomplishments, my strategic review and feedback about your results, and chatting about how best to move forward, etc.
6. I also will be available via email for extra support and encouragement as needed throughout the 12 weeks
