What if you...
... woke up ready to take on the world every morning?
... felt, at the end of the day, like everything you did that day was worthwhile?
... had clarity of purpose and felt sure about how you spend your time?
... lost the feeling of personal frustration and felt like you were moving forward in your life?
​
Good News!
This is entirely possible!
Authenticity Lab
Together, we can transform your feelings of being stuck and frustrated into feelings of satisfaction and fulfillment by expressing your authentic, bad-ass, empowered self.
How do I know?
Because I've been stuck, gotten un-stuck and have helped others achieve their dreams and feelings of fulfillment too.
After a series of really bad luck (watch my TEDx talk to hear the story), I was faced with having to reinvent myself. I've been up and down on that journey, have subsequently been diagnosed with chronic illness, and have found myself with no job twice. Any of these low points could have been the end. Instead, I dig deep into what my inner, most authentic self needs, and I usually find the answer.
My most important solution came in the form of solo kayaking the Mississippi River from source to sea, documenting plastic waste and water quality along the way. It was hard work the whole time, but every day I went to sleep well satisfied and sure that I was doing the right thing.
Self-assuredness and satisfaction is all too rare in modern life. Honing the courage and skills needed to listen and express my authentic self in order to feel this deeply fullfilling sensation has been due in part to self-reflection, but I have benefited from having caring and thoughtful people in my life, as well. My ultimate joy now, is helping you discover and express your courageous awesome self, too--and I promise you don't have to paddle a whole river to get there!
While happiness is a fleeting emotion, satisfaction can endure, even in the difficult parts of life. It tends to yield more happiness, but even in the doldrums of life, it provides stability, strength, and calm.

What we will cover:
Module 1
Expression. How do you express yourself? The importance of and breadth of this topic is why we will cover this first--so we can continue working on it throughout.
Module 2
Spirit. Simply, what makes you feel in line with your spirit? We will be covering multiple ways to unearth these answers.
Module 3
Embodiment. Our bodies hold so much wisdom but we are often taught only to trust our minds. This is not about being fit/healthy (although that's marvelous!), but about tuning in to your physical self.
Module 4
Emotion. Our emotions can be absent or can rule us. In this module, we will work on skills to find the balance you've been looking for.
Module 5
Peace of Mind. Brain. Ego. It rules us so much of the time in this culture. We will give it some analytical information to make it happy, but we will also learn how to maintain the peace.
Module 6
Service. An enormous part of meaning in our lives comes from how we work to make the world a better place. In this module we work on cultivating this awareness and some goals.
Module 7
Environment. It's all about interconnectedness. We rely on the health of the environment for our own health and vice versa. We will focus on nature and your relationship with it.
Module 8
Community. We are not isolated islands, nor should we be. Having community is deeply important for our support and well-being. Let's explore how we can optimize ours.

“Before Authenticity Lab, I thought I was too old and incapable to work on my dreams. I thought I had to have it all figured out. Now, I have more clarity and calmness around my successes. I set boundaries where before I would have drifted along unhappily. I find that I am better able to ground myself in the face of irritations, that I have begun drawing and connecting to nature and plants more. I now believe that I AM capable of creating the reality I want. Authenticity lab was fun, engaging and inspiring! This unique approach was just what I was looking for. I gained insight and skills around how I truly want to contribute to this world. Alyssum blends science, spirituality, and psychology for a challenging, illuminating journey. I came away with new tools and clarity to help me live an authentic life.” --Kris R.
Personal Investment Options
I am also committed to the premise of a sliding-scale model.
I believe there are way too many coaches out there who are in it for the money more than to make a difference. While I need to make an income myself, my drive to coach others comes from a place of wanting to help as many people as I can to achieve a more personally sustainable and fulfilling lifestyle. I have found myself in poor financial situations, often through no fault of my own, so I have great compassion for you regardless of your circumstance. The last thing I want for you is to have to make a decision about this program when improving your circumstances NOW would help you the most. Please book a (free) discovery call with me to learn more about how my sliding scale works if the above prices are outside your current budget.
