I take therapists and healers through a process to create their own courses and programs. That's my whole job.

When I recently got inspired to create a program that's totally about healing and personal growth I took myself through my own process.

I want to share that experience with you as a case study.

In this episode, I share my process with you, both what steps I took and also what came up for me emotionally in that process.

I'm sharing this to make it easier for you to create and share YOUR program.

Estranged is a workshop for adults who are estranged or have disengaged from a parent or caregiver and who are working on building their most beautiful lives and relationships.

It's happening on Thursday, December 12th and Thursday, December 19th from 2 to 3:30 pm PT.

I really could have used this workshop myself many times. I'm one of these people who is estranged from a parent.

I've also supported a ton of people through letting go of family members when I was a therapist for 20 years.

Too often the assumption is that whenever there is estrangement, the goal should be reconnection.

Spaces of mental health and personal growth often gets this wrong and do harm.

My strong belief is that we get to create the most beautiful and honest lives we are capable of. If a past relationship holds us back from that life, we have every right to let it go or to find the amount of distance that allows us to create that life.

I know that having distance from a parent can be an incredibly important part of healing. It has been for me and for so many people I've worked with.

I believe that every great program has a clear purpose.

The purpose of this workshop is to give folks who are estranged support in creating their most beautiful life and relationships.

I want participants to practice some tools that help with that process, and to hear from each other so they are reminded how NOT alone they are in their experience.

Here's some of what I talk about:

• Choosing the structure of the workshop
• Setting the price
• How I spread the word
• The mindset stuff that came up for me in creating this
