FOR SUCCESSFUL-ON-PAPER SENIOR WOMEN AT A THRESHOLD
The Discovery
What You Actually Want.
Someone asked you what you want next. You said it was the promotion you know deep down you don’t want.
An audio guided workshop to get what you actually want out of your head and onto paper in one evening, so you can see how to make it happen...
Without already needing a five-year plan, a leap of faith, or burning down the life you’ve built.
YOU WON’T BE ABLE TO UNKNOW IT
“I’d been finding ways to put off what I wanted for two years. Within six months of starting the work, I’d turned my dream into a reality and it all felt completely manageable. I stopped waiting to give myself permission and made it happen.”
Director, Property & Planning
The appraisal form asked where you see yourself in three years.
You wrote something about a promotion. It was fine. It was the kind of answer that gets nodded at, and you knew while you were typing it that it wasn’t true, and you sent it anyway because what else were you going to put in the box?
There’s a recruiter message in your Linkedin inbox from three months ago that you haven’t replied to and you haven’t deleted either.
There’s a job you applied for and didn’t hear back, which is an ego-bruise, but you also know you didn’t really want it in the first place.
And when a friend asked you over dinner what you want to do next, you heard yourself say “I don’t know, I’ll just see what happens”, and then you changed the subject, because “I’ll see what happens” isn’t an answer and you know it.
You’ve been doing this for a while now.
You can describe what you don’t want in forensic detail. That’s not a woman with no idea what she wants.
CLIENTS INCLUDE
You already know. You’ve just shut it down so many times you stopped hearing yourself do it.
It’s been there for years. You’ve just been regularly ignoring it.
Every time it surfaces you have a line ready. The mortgage. The kids. The market. Not this year. I’m too old to start again. I’ve got too much responsibility. Who do I think I am.
And they’re good lines. They sound like maturity, like strategy. They sound like exactly what a sensible, responsible person would say, which is why you have never once stopped to wonder whether any of them is actually true.
You didn’t come up with them, either. You learned them. Off a parent, a boss, a teacher, a headline in 2009, a woman at work who said it about herself and you filed it away as fact.
You have to keep shutting it down because it’s powerful, and it wants to be witnessed.
What you’ll get
BONUS: The Awakening Masterclass (value xxxx)
→ A live delivered masterclass on why the question has got so hard to answer and what changes when you stop waiting to feel certain. Watch it first and you'll start the workshop already with more clarity on what you want. the full 75-minute session, so you start already clear on what you want without the noise around it, and having stopped treating "I'm not sure yet" as a reason to give it another year.
The Workbook
Journalling prompts, questions and self-reflection to take you from "I don't know, not this" to what you actually want, written down…
→ Before You Start — the one rule that gets you focusing on the real answer instead of the acceptable one.
→ The List — what you actually want, out of your head and on paper at full size, with multiple ways in so a blank page doesn’t stop you.
→ The Shoulds — every reason you've been using against it, traced back to who taught it to you, so you can tell a fact from a line you inherited.
→ The Money — separates the financial limits you have to respect from the ones that have been standing in for a harder reason, so you know what the real number is.
→ What You've Got — everything in one place, so you finish with something you can act on rather than a feeling that's gone by Friday.
Guided Audios
→ Four audios with me talking you through all of it in real time, so it gets done that night instead of sitting in your downloads. A workbook on its own asks you to be your own teacher at nine o'clock on a Tuesday, which is why most of them end up in a folder, three questions in. This one gets done because I'm talking while you write — explaining what each sheet is actually asking, giving you the context before you answer. I ask, you write, we carry on.
You’ll be getting honest with yourself, and for once you're not doing it on your own.
What you’ll get
You’ll have a piece of paper with your own handwriting on it.
At the top, what you actually want. The real version, not the sensible one you’d say at work.
Underneath, every reason you’ve been using against it, and beside each one, whose voice it’s actually in.
Two or three of them will turn out to be real. You’ll know which by then, and that changes what you do next.
Once it’s on paper, you can’t unknow it.
“I’d won an industry award and I was still sitting there asking myself why anyone would hire me. Six months after starting this work, I had a new role, with higher pay, building my own team from scratch and reporting to the C-Suite.”
Director, Financial Services
“But I already know why I’m stuck”
You probably do. You could give me the whole diagnosis right now and it would be a good one, because you have never been short of self-awareness. You’ve had the therapy, or the podcast, or the friend who told you precisely what your problem is and was right about it.
And you’re sitting in the same seat you were sitting in two years ago.
Knowing a reason and taking it apart are two different jobs. You’ve done the first one to death.
This is for you if:
→ You’re fifteen or more years into a career that looks great on paper and feels wrong on the inside.
→ You’ve been asked what you want next and answered with what you don’t want. More than once.
→ There’s something you keep coming back to and keep calling unrealistic, and it still hasn’t gone away.
→ You’d rather do this on your own, with a pen, before you say any of it out loud to anyone.
→ You want it on paper before you decide anything. No leaping, no burning anything down.
This won’t tell you whether to stay or go, and it isn’t trying to. It gets the want out of hiding. What you do about it is a different conversation.
Hi, I’m Lauren
I spent two years staring at a promotion I didn’t want, in a job where my best work went unseen, telling myself to be grateful.
When I finally let myself see that I wanted something different, everything became possible. Better yet, I didn’t have to burn anything down. I protected the money, made my choice, and left for something bigger, better and more me.
Rather than a leap of faith, it was grounded, strategic and in control.
Now I help senior women decide what’s next. I live this work every day with a life and career that I have designed with intention.
Work I love.
Boundaries that support not stifle.
Joy, ambition and wealth, all co-existing.
I’m not selling you leave and I’m not selling you stay. My job is to hand you back the ability to choose.
If you stay, you stay because you chose it with intention.
“I feel like the old me again. Back in the driving seat. All of a sudden I could see all the possibilities.”

One evening. A pen and paper. The question you’ve been swerving for three years.

This isn’t journalling. A blank page asks you what you want, which is the one question you can’t currently answer on your own. This asks you a specific sequence of questions in a specific order, with me talking you through it, and it gets an answer out of you because it’s built to.

No. The recording is included as a bonus, so you can watch it before if you want more context and to hear more of the ways we can make a change for you, after, or not at all.
