Find Your Direction Program

A badass journey for 40/50-year-old GenX’ers to find a way back to yourself and live on your own terms.

(Without blowing up your entire life!)

Imagine this. . .

When the alarm goes off tomorrow morning, you wake up feeling inspired and hopeful about what’s in store for you.

As you get ready to head out the door and start your day, you feel focused and energized.

Throughout the day, you make decisions from a place of clarity and confidence. You respond to stressful situations through the lens of a larger perspective that allows you to feel calm and grounded.

On your way home, as you reflect on your day, you feel an increased sense of satisfaction and fulfillment.

And when you go to bed at nite, you notice a sense of autonomy and pure happiness returning to your life. You notice that you feel a deeper connection to the person you always knew you were.

And you look back on your day, feeling purposeful, authentic, and in integrity with life on your terms.

The Find Your Direction Program is your invitation to live life on your terms and reconnect to who you are.

Pssst…there’s no mystery about why you feel restless, dissatisfied, and disconnected at this stage.

That’s right! There’s no mystery about why:

→ you feel an undercurrent of unrest in your 40s and 50s.

→ you’re not sure who you are anymore or what happened to the person you used to be.

→ life is both a soul-crushing monotony and an overwhelming weight of responsibility.

→ you’ve been living your life for everyone else except yourself.

The glaring truth is that on your path to building your successful life, there’s something you’ve forgotten.

My dear, GenX’er . . . you’ve forgotten yourself, who you are, and what’s deeply important to you.

It’s not just that the world has forgotten about the sandwich generation of free-spirited, independent, latch-key kids.

GenX’ers have forgotten about themselves and what’s important to them.

GenX’ers have forgotten about the Core Values that represent who they are, where they want to go, and what gives their life meaning!

The Find Your Direction Program gives connection, direction, and meaning back to your life!

Omid:

I wanted to better understand my values in order to live a more aligned and mindful life. I was feeling conflict in certain parts of my life and the programme helped me greatly to understand my boundaries and what I need to feel peaceful and motivated. Michele’s insights were so profound and specifically tailored for me. She guided me so well to appreciate and discover some complex feelings and values. I truly believe that the programme has bettered me as a person; and made me more self-compassionate and aware of the life that I want to lead.

By the end of the Find Your Direction Program you’ll have clarity on:

  • You’ll discover your 3-5 true Core Values, what they mean to you, and what a values-aligned life would look like. Your Core Values will be your North Star to help you make decisions, reconnect you to who you are, and give you a deeper sense of purpose.

  • You’ll become aware of the obstacles to honoring your Core Values and how to handle them. You’ll be able to spot the things that pull you away from honoring your values. And you’ll learn the power of living life on your terms from a place of consciousness instead of fear.

  • We’ll work together to plot your path forward toward a values-driven life. You’ll have small actions to take every day to feel free, purposeful, and fulfilled. You’ll have a map that connects you back to yourself, gives you direction, and fills you with purpose.

Why am I so fired up about Core Values?

Five years ago, you were more likely to find me curled up in a ball in my closet, crying and feeling utterly hopeless about my life. I was trapped in a successful career, with tons of debt, and no conceivable way out. I didn’t know who I was anymore or where I wanted to go. I was restless, dissatisfied, and purposeless.

And then I stumbled on a video of some woman talking about “Core Values.” I’d never heard of such a thing and became intrigued. I sat down and did some intense work to figure out my 5 Core Values and what they meant to me. And once I saw that list, I was shocked to see how the restlessness that I felt in my life made sense.

I grew up as a free-spirited, independent, latch-key kid of the 70s and 80s. And I grew up with a vague sense of “values” that seemed to be important to everyone else around me. . . my parents, community, culture, etc. But I never stopped to think about what my own values were.

I mindlessly followed the expectations of others and the well-worn paths in front of me, checking all of the boxes for what it meant to be a “successful” person.

And along the way, I became disconnected from who I was. I never stopped to consider what deeply mattered to me. I forgot myself under my lawyer suit and never even considered my own path as I walked the road to a career with the U.S. Department of Justice.

So, when I started suffering from depression and anxiety in my mid-40’s, I thought there was something “wrong” with me. Why couldn’t I just be happy with the “successful” life I’d built?

But when I stared at the list of my Core Values, it suddenly became very clear to me: I wasn’t honoring who I really was, what was important to me, and how to live life on my own terms. There was no great mystery to my restlessness. I’d just forgotten who I was because I’d never stopped to consider my Core Values.

Fast forward a few years, and I learned through my coaching program how important Core Values are for a purposeful, joyful, and fulfilling life. So now, I preach the importance of Core Values from the mountaintop!

Knowing my Core Values are what allowed me, at the age of 49, to quit my stable federal government job as an attorney and pursue a full-time career as an entrepreneur and Woman-Owned Small Business.

And it’s now my mission to show other 40/50-year-old GenX’ers the power of living a life according to their Core Values.

I have 100% faith in your ability to do this work too. You’re never too old and it’s never too late!

So . . . are you ready to go on this badass, life-changing journey?

M.O.:

Working with Michele has helped me tap into my values and understand the important ‘why’ behind the things that I do and care about. Her kind and no-nonsense coaching style resonates with me.  With her guidance, I have learned to navigate my life with my values serving as the North Star. 

I created this with you in mind.

I created the Find Your True North Program specifically for badass GenX’ers who have found themselves at a crossroads in their 40s/50s.  You’ve spent the first part of your life: 

→  building your successful career

→  taking care of a family or navigating life on your own 

→  checking all the boxes of what society, family and friends expect of you.

And now, you’ve hit the point where you don’t know who you are, where you’re going, and what really matters to you.  

This 3-month program takes the most foundational work I’ve done for myself and with my clients, and puts it into an individualized program that will guide you down a new path of freedom and purpose.  

It’s time for GenX’ers to break free from the restlessness, discontent, and overall sense of unease that they’re feeling at this stage of life. After 20+ years of building your “successful” life, are you ready to remember who you are and what lights you up so that you can live life on your own terms?

This is a trick-free, hack-free, bullshit-free program.  

Let’s be real . . . it’s taken you a lifetime to get where you are now. So if you want to change the direction of your life, it’s going to take intention, effort, and commitment.

And you are worth every ounce of that!

I will guide you every step of the way with compassionate, non-judgmental understanding, balanced with a wise, practical approach.

I wouldn’t guide you down any path that I hadn’t walked myself.

There’s no better time than now for you to turn the focus back onto yourself, so that you can build the life and vision you’ve always wanted.

Here’s the Program’s 6-session breakdown…

Sessions 1-2:

Discovering your 3-5 Core Values using your Find Your True North Guidebook. We’ll do a values debrief so that you can understand what these values mean to you and what it looks like to live life in alignment with those Core Values.

Sessions 3-5:

Learn the obstacles in the way of honoring your Core Values. We’ll look at the difference between fear-based and conscious-based values, the shadow side of your Core Values, and the Non-Core Values that pull you away from honoring your Core Values.

Session 6:

We’ll create your path forward with actions that you can take every day to honor your Core Values. You’ll have practical strategies for moving through the obstacles you might face. And best of all, you’ll have a clear vision for a values-driven life.

Melissa:

Since working with Michele, she has provided me guidance to help me live my best life ever through exploration of not only assessing my values, but how I am actually being true to my values and intentions. I am never without her kicking me in the ass to work through challenging, but life-changing adventures. She has truly assisted me in getting to a deeper level of my life goals and direction—and knowing there is no wrong or right—it's me getting to be the best version of ME and to be a positive force in this world.

Through her coaching, Michele helped me to cut through the weeds and connect on a deeper level to my purpose. I’m managing my business and living my life in greater alignment with my core values. My clients have responded positively to my values driven approach, and I’m looking forward to a personally and professionally rewarding year!
