There’s a moment many people reach, often quietly and sometimes through an unexpected change or transition, when something inside begins to ask:
Is the life I’m living aligned with who I truly am?
Maybe something has shifted. A loss. A transition. A relationship that’s changed. Or simply a growing sense that the next chapter of your life is asking something different of you.
You might find yourself wondering:
-
What do I actually want now, and what genuinely calls to me?
-
What would feel meaningful and energizing moving forward, without losing all the good I’ve already built?
-
What would it feel like to move forward with real clarity, rather than just pushing harder?
These aren’t small questions. And they deserve more than a weekend workshop to be explored.
Awakening to Your Next Chapter is a 7-week live program designed to give you the space, the guidance, and the community to actually explore these questions.
We begin with something unexpected: a shared viewing of Out of the Blue, the acclaimed, award-winning show by Eli Hans that tells the story of a profound healing journey. Funny, moving, and deeply relatable, it opens the door to exploring your own story in a way that feels safe, engaging, and often deeply personal.
From there, Eli and Joseph guide you through reflection, conversation, and inspiring, practical inner work. Not to hand you answers, but to help you find the ones already inside you.
By the end of our time together, you’ll have:
-
A clearer picture of what genuinely matters to you most right now
-
A kinder, more empowered relationship with your own story
-
A concrete, personal vision for your next chapter, one that feels uplifting and achievable, not just aspirational.
A 7-week live ONLINE journey to help you reconnect with what matters, and step into your next chapter with clarity, joy, and intention.
Is this Journey Right for YOU?
This program is a good fit if you’re somewhere in the midst of a real shift. Not necessarily a crisis, but a genuine sense that something is changing and that the old answers may not be enough.
You’ll get the most from this experience if:
-
You're feeling a quiet pull toward something new, even if you can’t fully name it yet
-
You’re interested in discovering your own answers, rather than being told what to do
-
You want a live, shared experience, rather than working through things on your own time
-
You’re willing to set aside a couple of hours each week to reconnect with what truly matters to you
This isn’t about having everything figured out. It’s about creating the space to listen more deeply, and allowing clarity to emerge in a way that feels natural, grounded, and true to you.
If you’re looking for a quick fix or a step-by-step prescription, this probably isn’t your program. But if you’re ready to slow down, pay attention, and figure out what your next chapter is actually asking of you, this is exactly the right space.
What You’ll Experience
This isn’t a program where you absorb information and just hope something sticks. You’ll experience guided visualization, reflective writing, small-group conversation, and whole-group discussion with Eli and Joseph. You’ll be actively working with your own life, not just learning concepts about someone else’s.
Over our seven weeks together, meeting once per week, you’ll:
-
See your own experiences from a more empowering perspective and recognize the wisdom within them
-
Lighten the emotional weight that’s been quietly running in the background
-
Strengthen your ability to hear your own instincts and trust what they’re telling you
-
Gain clarity about what genuinely energizes and inspires you now
-
Leave with a personal vision for your next chapter that’s grounded, specific, and actually yours.
The 7-Week Journey
Week 1: A Story That Opens the Door
We begin with a shared viewing of Out of the Blue, Eli and Joseph’s award-winning show about healing, resilience, and what happens when life forces you off the path you planned. It’s funny, moving, and deeply relatable. More than entertainment, it becomes a mirror, opening the door to seeing your own story in ways that may surprise you.
Week 2: Reframing the Past
This week invites you to revisit parts of your life with a softer, more curious perspective, gently loosening the grip of old interpretations and discovering how your experiences may support, rather than limit, what’s next. By honoring the past, you can become unencumbered by it.
Week 3: Trusting Your Inner Guidance
We focus on strengthening your relationship with your own instincts: how to hear them more clearly, how to distinguish them from fear or habit, and how to begin acting on them with greater confidence.
Week 4: Meeting Your Future Self
Through reflective writing prompts and a guided visualization, you’ll connect with the version of yourself that has already moved through this transition. Someone who has clarity you don’t yet have, and perspective you genuinely need. This is one of the most meaningful sessions of the entire program.
Week 5: Staying Grounded When Life Feels Uncertain
This week focuses on emotional resilience: simple, practical ways to stay grounded, self-compassionate, and forward-focused, even when external circumstances are difficult or unclear.
Week 6: Living with Joy and Meaning
You’ll reconnect with what genuinely energizes and uplifts you, rediscover your natural strengths and passions, and explore how to bring more of that into your daily life in ways that feel both meaningful and sustainable.
Week 7: Integration and Moving Forward
In our final session, you’ll integrate everything you’ve discovered. You’ll clarify what you’re ready to carry forward, what you’re leaving behind, and what a meaningful next chapter actually looks like for you, in your own words and on your own terms.

This is your invitation:
Life’s turning points don’t always arrive on schedule. Sometimes they show up as loss, as change, as a quiet restlessness you can’t quite name. But they tend to carry the same question underneath: Is now the time to pay attention?
This isn’t about fixing your life. It’s about discovering what’s already within you, and learning how to trust it.
If the answer feels like yes, we’d love to have you join us.
