Who This Course Is For
Picking Up the Pieces and Moving On is for people in transition— adult women and men—who are experiencing a shift in their present lives, including:
- Endings or disruptions in relationships, work, health, or identity
- Relocation, retirement, caregiving, or life-stage transitions
- Losses, disappointments, or the inner sense that life no longer fits its old shape
- An inner awareness that something is shifting—and a desire for a thoughtful way forward
You may describe yourself as:
- “Capable, but unsettled”
- “Functioning, but not grounded”
- “Ready to move on—without emotional burden”
You may have already tried:
- Talking things through with friends (helpful, but limited)
- Consuming media (inspiring but practically overwhelming)
- Powering through on your own (exhausting)
This course provides guidance without pressure, insight without diagnosis, and movement without rushing.
The Goal of the Course
The goal is not to fix you or push you forward prematurely.
The goal is to help you:
Understand your transition, steady yourself in uncertainty, and move forward with intention.
By naming what’s happening internally, you gain the clarity needed to make choices that are aligned with your desire rather than your reactivity.
The Deeper Benefit
When people understand their transitions, something important shifts.
Participants often experience:
- Greater emotional steadiness during times of uncertainty
- Less self-judgment about timing or “progress”
- A clearer sense of personal values and direction
- Renewed trust in inner wisdom and decision-making
- A felt sense of belonging during a solitary-feeling time
The broader impact:
More clarity. More self-compassion. More confidence to step into what’s next—without erasing the past.
What Makes This Course Different
Laying Down the Pieces and Moving Through
Two guiding metaphors shape the course:
- Kintsugi – the Japanese art of repair with precious silver & gold, connecting what has been broken but also transformed
- The Mosaic Path – a view of life, made from a pattern formed out of many meaningful fragments, not a single straight line
Together, these frameworks help you make meaning from disruption and see your life as an evolving whole.
