Discover who you are now to launch your best chapter yet
After decades of moving at a million miles an hour – striving, building, compromising, accomplishing and bending to meet life’s demands – have you paused to reflect on who you truly are?
More specifically, WHO ARE YOU NOW?
You've taken on so many roles over the past decades, adopting habits, patterns, beliefs, and identities that may no longer serve you.
Research shows that midlife is an ideal time to pause, reflect, and transform.

The “Who Am I Now” course was one of the most impactful I have participated in. Even with clear goals after retirement, Jill helped open my eyes to areas of my life, and self, that I was not aware of, and I have carried those insights forward, enhancing my life. Take the course!

After retiring, then suffering the loss of my precious spouse to cancer, “Who Am I Now” spoke directly to me. With Jill’s rich, research-based resources and exercises, I created the blueprint for what’s next for me. This program was nothing short of life changing. Jill is truly in a class of her own.

Lee Johnson
Head of Land, Livestock, and Mindfulness in Santa Fe
Lee likes to say that he’s as ordinary as dirt but as complex as soil.
A former Course Director for the Colorado Outward Bound School and Certified Holistic Management Teacher, he has managed ranches in Nebraska and Tennessee as well as several ranches here in New Mexico. As steward of our four-square mile regenerative ranch, Lee translates nature’s teachings into insights that encourage us to tune into our inner landscapes as much as the outer landscape. His holistic approach to life and spirituality creates a warm invitation for you to step into a deeper relationship with yourself, nature, and each other.
You will appreciate his laidback presence and the opportunity to slow down, listen to nature, and participate in the ancient ritual of gathering around the campfire.

Social science shows that midlife is a unique moment to pause, reflect, and transform. And what better time to let go of what’s no longer serving you and gain the clarity and inspiration you seek to thrive!
