Women’s Circle for Cycle Breakers
A Coaching Group for Women Ready to Make Change
In my work with women, I have the privilege of exploring a person’s lineage starting from the mother line, and then expanding into other maternal connections, such as grandmothers on father's side and mother-in-law. Together we uncover common patterns and themes that have been handed down from generation to generation of women. Of course good things get passed down, but it’s not the good cycles that bring women to work with me. It’s the painful, often unspoken, patterns that get passed down and have negative consequences for women.
These cycles contribute to:
feeling shame for speaking up for yourself, or not knowing how
guilt for asking for what you want, or even need
challenging mother-daughter relationships, feeling unheard or unseen by the other
feeling the need to always be of service to family, friends, and community to your own detriment
inadvertently shaming other women, including daughters
feeling the need to stay small to maintain approval
not really know what you want from life, or feeling lost
finding relationships that are never fully supportive
…the list goes on.
Cycle Breakers are women who yearn to change these things within themselves, and and in a larger capacity, for anyone in their influence. Becoming a Cycle Breaker means understanding the women of your past with compassion and actively choosing to break cycles to create a new life for yourself moving forward.
When we do the work of being a Cycle Breaker, we first must cultivate a larger perspective. This gives us compassion toward those women who have come before us. We can understand why a grandmother may be jealous of her daughter or granddaughter. We can understand why we were encouraged to “not make waves” and to just “be nice.” We can come to understand why we were discouraged from being our authentic selves when we can see the unlived lives of the women in our lineage. Once we have this awareness, we can then begin to shift and pave our path forward.
Sometimes we inherit heirlooms from previous generations that we really don't want, but feel guilty getting rid of because it was great grandma’s, or because every generation had it in their home. Letting go of the emotional burdens and harmful values that you inherited as a woman is like being willing to say, "no thanks, this heirloom of guilt and shame doesn’t coordinate with my peace of mind and my heart. I don’t need to keep this anymore."
Being a cycle breaker means carving out a new way and taking care of yourself in a way that may cause you to step outside of your familiar zone. This means becoming both compassionate, gentle and courageous with yourself. In a way, it feels like finally coming home to your most authentic self.
Becoming a Cycle Breaker is about understanding the past, taking care of YOU in the present, and moving forward in a new way--one that is unburdened by intergenerational patterns and societal expectations that have been unsupportive for women.
If now feels like the time to finally step into your role as a cycle breaker, I invite you into this circle.
Come be in the company of women of all ages and stages and create a community that enriches one another through shared wisdom, courage, and compassion.
Cycle breakers are women who are ready enough to step into new patterns in their lives that are designed to enhance quality of life.
Each woman draws upon the collective wholeness and vitality of the group to help her move towards her goals and vision. This coaching group invites each woman to step into the life they truly want.
By surrounding yourself with women who encourage and want you to feel unburdened by your past, you will find the courage to make changes and recognize that new life can unfold for you.
In this circle, we will:
Have weekly gatherings facilitated by myself, Emily, in community with other women who seek connection and change.
Discover the common themes that have passed down through generations of women in your lineage.
Understand how these patterns have been active in your life by recognizing the limiting beliefs you carry.
Gain resources and empowerment to feel you can make changes in your life despite old habits and fears.
Have support from other women who are on the same journey, benefiting from the wisdom of women in various life stages.
Identify changes you want to make in your life to put yourself on a new trajectory.
Have accountability for the goals you set for yourself.
Take steps toward a life that feels more supportive, empowered and authentic, with the confidence and clarity to follow through.

NEXT CYCLE BREAKER CIRCLE BEGINS JANUARY 2025!
START YOUR NEW YEAR WITH SUPPORT AND NEW ENERGYTime and start date:
We will have 8 circle sessions. Starting January 2025. Exact dates and times coming soon.
We will meet weekly. I ask that you only commit to the group if you can make all but one session.
You will also have a one on one session with me, which we will schedule individually.
structure of the Circle:
The Circle experience will hold a delicate balance of structure and free flow, allowing us to both attend to important issues, questions, and support for change, while also honoring the organic process that unfolds between us in the circle.
We will start out every session with a connecting, centering practice that will invite us into connection with one another, and most importantly, ourselves.
The circle is a place for you to voice the changes you want in your life, to help gain clarity on what isn’t serving you anymore, and to have support in creating life-giving change. You will have the opportunity to name at least one goal/intention/or desired result you have for yourself and the circle will support you in taking action each week. For some this may mean making changes to STOP doing certain things, editing away what is unhelpful. For others this may look like taking action in ways that you engage in relationships, work, your day-to-day routine. There is not one way that change can or should take place.
You will be asked to keep a notebook, journal or folder just for this circle as each week will prompt you in a reflective process for your own insight, personal growth, and releasing.
You will be invited into engaging in symbolic rituals, which are powerful ways to help us mark endings and beginnings and to let go of habitual patterns.
Most importantly, each woman is encouraged to take up space, to be seen and heard, and to voice the new way she wants to intentionally walk in the world.
Meeting logistics:
Coaching is not bound by state lines, so you can join this group from anywhere in the WORLD! We will meet virtually via zoom.
Topics covered:
Each week will be centered on a theme that will allow for supportive, reflective conversation to help us challenge the unhelpful cycles we have been living with.
Themes will include:
Speaking your needs
The Wheel of Change
Reclaiming your personhood; you are more than your role.
Limiting unsupportive relationships
Reconnecting to your spirit
Challenging gender roles
Practical empowerment; what or who is zapping your energy
…and more.

I offer a few pricing options to make the circle as accessible as possible. If you feel you should be here, I want to make it happen for you.

This covers eight, 90 minute sessions, plus a one on one session with me, custom journal reflections, recommended reading list and materials we use throughout the circle.
