Looking for more clarity, focus, and confidence in life?
Real Life Refresh
AN ACTIONABLE BLUEPRINT FOR PURPOSEFUL LIVING
In Real Life Refresh™ you’ll go from feeling stuck, stretched, and uncertain to feeling clear, focused, and hopeful with less stress and more time for what matters. You’ll gain the tools and the confidence to create a more fulfilling life.
What is Real Life Refresh™?
Real Life Refresh is an in-depth online program that empowers you with greater clarity and focus about who you are and how you want to live, and guides you step-by-step as you build that vision into your real life today - and every day after.
It combines content, coaching, and community to create lasting transformation in your life.
Ready for a Refresh?
You’re right for Real Life Refresh if you’re ready to decrease the stress, uncertainty and chaos in your life and figure out how to lead your life instead of letting it lead you.
Real Life Refresh is right for you if you’re looking for clarity about next steps, confidence in who you are, and connection with other like-minded, like-hearted women.
If you are…
A “helping” professional who’s frequently in the middle of the org chart and the org stress and isn’t sure what direction your career path is pointed
A caring and devoted woman who’s stretched between all the worries and responsibilities that come with roles like mom, wife, daughter, sister, aunt, or friend
A soul-guided servant leader who wants to be more of the person you were created to be and follow your calling in life to make an impact on others
A woman who’s holding it all together, but sometimes feels like you’ve lost your sense of self and can’t quite name the ‘more’ you’re looking for
You’re in the right place!
(And you’re not alone.)
Real Life Refresh will give you the plan, tools, and support you need to get clear about who you are and what matters most so that you can move from ‘meh’ to the ‘more’ that’s in store for you!
By the end of this program, you will …
Honor your needs and values
and become more of the real you again, crafting a life that is more aligned and fulfilling.
Focus on your top priorities
so that you know where to put your time and energy and where and when to say no.
Complete important projects
with the help of doable action plans that keep you focused.
Take back your calendar
and planned your days with structure and flexibility in a way that helps you be productive AND purposeful.
Make time for self-care
in ways that are uniquely suited to you and that actually help you be your best self, without guilt.
Learn to stay on track
and sustain your progress so that you can live purposefully in the midst of your real, everyday life.

What’s Inside
Real Life Refresh?
-
Just like any building project, the most important part is laying a solid foundation. In Real Life Refresh, that means clarifying our needs and values.
This module will set the stage for the rest of your refresh and bring you deep clarity about what makes your life most satisfying and fulfilling. Hint: The answer isn’t one-size-fits-all, so you’ll have some “excavating work” to do in this module!
In Module 1, you will:
>>> Assess your unique core needs and values to gain invaluable perspective about why some parts of life feel thoroughly satisfying (and others, perhaps, do not).
>>> Explore your core needs and values more deeply and articulate exactly how those needs and values show up in your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.
>>> Reflect on the needs and values that are being met as well as those that are not and begin to imagine what would be different in your life if they were!
-
In Module 2, we’ll continue working on the foundation of our real selves, now turning to a careful exploration of our unique strengths, our purpose, and the true priorities that guide our lives.
The importance of laying a solid foundation can’t be overstated! In future modules, you’ll take a closer look at your “doing” – the activities that make up your daily life. And sure, like most people, you want to get more done, in less time, with greater impact. But that won’t happen if your “doing” isn’t aligned with your “being.” Putting the time in now to develop greater clarity about who you are will pay off in spades down the road.
In Module 2, you will:
>>> Identify your talents, gifts, and abilities and consider ways to maximize the ways you put those into action.
>>> Draft an overarching statement that gives direction to your life as a whole and sets a vision for who you want to be and what you want to do with the one and only life you’ve been given.
>>> Discern your key priorities and pinpoint what you’d like to accomplish in those areas in the next 1-2 years.
-
Now that we’ve refreshed our sense of “being,” it’s time to consider our “doing” and find more effective ways to get things done. You’ll learn how to make progress on your life’s projects so that you are moving toward the desired outcomes you identified for your key priorities in Module 2.
In Module 3, you’ll learn a different approach to being productive and getting stuff done - the stuff that matters. It takes some discipline, but it's not rigid. There are a few steps, but it's not hard. You’ll see it in action, and then put it into action in your own life. And I think you’ll find that it’s flexible, forward-moving, and fun!
In Module 3, you will:
>>> Learn why “projects” can serve and motivate us more than “goals.”
>>> Choose an important project that you really want to make progress on.
>>> Follow a simple step-by-step process to create an action plan for that project that can empower you to accomplish more than you have before.
-
Who doesn’t wish they had more time in their lives?! Module 4 won’t give you more time, but it will help you use the time you have more effectively and more purposefully. You’ll learn how to align your time and your calendar with your most important priorities so that life feels more whole and balanced.
In Module 4, you will:
>>> Manage your time in a way that honors all of your priorities, not just the urgent ones.
>>> Schedule your week with structure and flexibility so that it works for your real life.
>>> Increase your effectiveness by blocking time for the important project(s) you chose in Module 3.
-
What good is a Real Life Refresh if we don’t learn how to keep it refreshed? Module 5 brings together all the work we’ve done so far, and helps you create a plan for “doing” that aims at continually refreshing your “being.”
In Module 5, you’ll learn how to notice and manage your energy and be introduced to the 3 R’s of taking care of yourself (Rest, Renewal, and Review). These elements are essential for living a healthy, aligned life, and you’ll create plans for integrating these practices into your newly refreshed life.
In Module 5, you will:
>>> Explore the activities that replenish and renew your energy and schedule these into your life.
>>> Learn what the process of reviewing your life might be like for you and begin to implement it in your week.
>>> Release the guilt you feel about self-care as you begin to view it as sanity, not vanity.
-
Module 6 is where this investment in yourself pays dividends! In this module, you’ll learn the in’s and out’s of the 90 DAY Reset™. This process serves two vital purposes:
1) It keeps you on track so that you can continually refresh your life and continue to make sustained progress on your projects and long term vision for your life. Every 90 days, you’ll review your needs, values, gifts, purpose statement, priorities, and projects and reset things as needed for the next 90 days.
2) WHEN (not if!) you “fall off the horse” and get side-tracked from the intentional work of Real Life Refresh, the 90 DAY Reset™ is the process you’ll use to re-start your work and climb back on that horse! You don’t need a new course, a new process, or the next new self-help system. Whether you’re away from the Real Life Refresh process for a season, a year, or longer, a 90 DAY Reset™ is all you need to get rolling again.
In Module 6, you will:
>>> Review all of the work you’ve done in Real Life Refresh and celebrate the new perspective you have for your life!
>>> Reset your projects for the next 90 days to keep your momentum going and accelerate your progress.
>>> Reflect on your accomplishments and solidify your commitment to purposeful living.
Here’s what a successful Refresh sounds like…
in real life from real people…
With the Real Life Refresh core program, you’ll get…
6 Video Modules
that walk you through a comprehensive refresh of your whole life and guide you step-by-step through the actions you’ll take to make that vision a reality.
Guided Support
that’s there when you most need it so that you never get stuck, lost, or discouraged as you create your blueprint for purposeful living.
A Proven Framework
that’s been tried, tested, and validated (by other women just like you) for achieving exactly the results you’re looking for!
Renewed Clarity and Focus
for who you are and how you want to live so that you can move forward with more hope, confidence, and joy.
And because it includes coaching, you’ll ALSO get…
7 Group Sessions
where you’ll be able to share your wins and challenges, learn from others who are on the journey with you, and find new perspectives as you hear others’ experiences.
Mutual Support and Accountability
that helps you stay on track when things get tough and allows you to generously encourage other women who share your values.
A Deeper Dive
and an insider’s look at the nuts and bolts of the process you’ll be learning, including insights from the framework creator and examples from others who’ve gone before you to help point the way.
Impactful 1:1 Coaching (optional)
that will invite you to wrestle with thought-provoking questions that support you in making creative and courageous decisions about your life.
In case you’re wondering…
Here are the answers to some burning Q’s that might be on your mind!
-
Real Life Refresh is a 6-month program. Phase 1 is the first three months, during which the video modules and group coaching help you to learn the “refreshing process” and begin to create your own blueprint for your life. Phase 2 is the following 3 months, when you’ll put that blueprint into action throughout your life and find support, encouragement, and accountability in a community of like-minded, like-hearted women. One-on-one coaching sessions can be used anytime throughout the 6 months.
-
Short answer: “So that it works.”
Real Life Refresh could have been designed just as a three-month process to teach you a new way of living. But three months is just long enough to provide you with inspiration… not transformation. The additional time will help you start to LIVE what you learn and provide you with the tools, guidance, and support you need to experience a more impactful and lasting transformation.
-
During the first three months, it’s ideal to devote 4-5 hours within each two-week period.
The six video modules are released every other week, so you have plenty of time to watch the videos and complete the action steps. Plan to spend about an hour watching each video module, and another 1-2 hours completing the action steps for that module.
Schedule that time however it’s most convenient for you, whether that’s setting aside 3 hours all at once or carving out a few 20-30 minute blocks of time over each two week period.
The Group Coaching sessions will require an additional 90 minutes every two weeks, bringing the total to 4-5 hours every two weeks.
-
The Complete Program is just that - complete! It includes three 60-minute one-on-one coaching sessions so that you get the personalized support you need to fully refresh your real life. In those coaching sessions, you'll have a chance to explore your own life more deeply and get help with the obstacles that are uniquely yours. Plus you'll get a few more resources to power up your refresh! If you're looking for a balance of community support and personalized attention, the Complete Program is for you!
The Group Only Program still provides loads of support, encouragement, and accountability, but it's limited to small group sessions with women who are on similar journeys. In these 90-minute bi-weekly sessions, I’ll invite you to share your wins and your challenges and help you explore new possibilities as you look at your life from a new perspective.
In both program options, you are guided by the video modules and supported by the Facebook group.
-
The group will meet on Mondays via Zoom.
You have two options:
12:00-1:30 PM ET (9:00-10:30 AM PT), OR
7:00-8:30 PM ET (4:00-5:30 PM PT).
You will need to choose ONE of those options for all 7 sessions (no group switching).
The 7 sessions will be held on September 23, October 14, October 21, November 4, November 18, December 2, and December 16.
-
We don’t call it an “actionable blueprint” for nothing! The women who’ve gone before you can attest to the impact. They feel differently about their lives, they respond differently in situations that used to challenge them, and they show up differently in relationships and at work. Even when their external situations (family, job, responsibilities) have remained largely the same, they navigate those situations differently… because inside, they have a renewed and strengthened sense of self and purpose. Read more about the transformative impact of Real Life Refresh here…
-
Real Life Refresh is not explicitly religious, nor is it exclusive to those who practice any specific religious tradition.
While this program doesn’t proselytize or push any specific religious beliefs, it is based on spiritual principles and practices, specifically from the Christian tradition. So if your faith and spiritual life – regardless of tradition or denomination – are important elements of your real life, this program will honor that and support you as you integrate those elements in your real life refresh.
-
Not very! If you can manage:
>>> Keeping track of a password and logging into a website
>>> Downloading pdfs (and printing if desired)
>>> Participating in Zoom meetings (for the group sessions and 1:1 coaching)
>>> Joining and participating in a Facebook group
Then you’ll be just fine!
And if you ever have questions, issues, or struggles with the technology, just reach out for help!
-
No problem! While Facebook is a nice bonus to participating in Real Life Refresh, it’s not a requirement. So if you’re not a Facebook user, or you choose not to use it much, you’ll still get all the content of the program… and most importantly, you’ll still experience the transformative results!
-
Nope… and that’s because I care about you too much! The modules are shared with you every two weeks during the first three months. I know how susceptible high-achieving women are to feelings of overwhelm. And there’s no need to “work ahead” or rush this process. Trust the process, and let it work IN you and ON you. We’ve tested it – the two weeks allotted for each module is the right amount of time to keep you moving forward and making progress, while still allowing you to take your time and think deeply about each step.
-
During Phase 1 – the first three months – the video modules, group sessions, 1:1 coaching, and downloadable resources will help you gain clarity about who you are and how you want to live. Throughout the next three months, you’ll start putting that into practice and experience the fullness of the Real Life Refresh.
As a bonus to this program, you’ll receive 3 months free membership in the TEAL Community: an ongoing community of like-minded, like-hearted women who are committed to “Turn Existing into Abundant Living” (hence, TEAL). These women have all been through the Real Life Refresh process and are supporting one another in putting it into practice in their real lives. This community membership includes monthly community calls, a monthly workshop, and a private Facebook group.
-
You can sign up for Real Life Refresh until 4:00 PM ET on September 20, 2024.
And in case you’re also wondering, “When will this be offered again?” the honest answer is “I’m not sure.” So if it feels like this is something you really want, or really need, I encourage you to do it now. It might not feel like the perfect time – but when will it? And are you willing to pay the price (aka the stress, the uncertainty, the emptiness) if you wait?
-
Please do! It's actually the only way to sign up. I love the chance to get to know people individually and I’d love to hear more about what’s going on in your life, what your struggles are, and what hopes draw you to this program.
Let's talk this through and figure out together whether this is a good fit for you right now. Grab a spot on my calendar before September 20th when the cart closes!
All of this, backed by a generous guarantee…
I’m pretty confident that you’ll find powerful goodness inside Real Life Refresh. But you’ll have 30 days to decide for yourself.
By the end of 30 days, you’ll have received access to the first two modules of Real Life Refresh. That means you’ll have had the opportunity to lay a solid foundation of your real self and explore your needs, values, gifts, purpose, and priorities BEFORE making a final commitment.
If you don’t feel the program is delivering exactly what you’re hoping for by 5:00 PM ET on October 23, 2024, simply reach out to us for a conversation. If we can’t resolve your concerns, we’ll only hold you to the first month’s payment. If you’re on the monthly payment plans, your remaining payments will be cancelled. If you paid in full, we’ll refund all but the amount of one month’s payment.
If you’re thinking “This sounds amazing, but I’m still not 100% sure,” then keep reading…
You should give Real Life Refresh a 30-day shot if you’re motivated by any of the following:
If you’ve been feeling like your life is not your own, it’s time to take back the reins and learn to lead your life again. This is the one and only life you’ve been given. Are you simply ‘existing’ or are you living it purposefully in way that brings you joy and hope and positively impacts all those you love and serve? Imagine what it would be like to feel more centered, more aligned, more in control of your day-to-day. That life doesn’t need to just be a daydream. We call this an “actionable blueprint” for a reason! I’ll walk you through every step, but you need to take the first step.
You want your life back.
While Real Life Refresh isn’t exclusively for believers, the components of the process are based in spiritual principles and practices, specifically from the Christian tradition. This program doesn’t proselytize or push any specific religious beliefs, but it honors your faith and spiritual life by welcoming and supporting you as you include those elements in your real life. If integrating your faith with your everyday life is important to you, this program will speak to your heart, mind, and soul and help you be the person that God is calling you to be.
Your faith is important to you.
Real Life Refresh is an investment – of time and money. Most worthwhile things are. (That helps make them worthwhile. We show up better when we invest deeply.) While you know the cost of saying yes, you recognize that there’s also a cost to not doing this now, paid out in sleepless nights, stressed out days, strained relationships, and a growing feeling of discontentment and disconnection with your very self. If you’re tired of paying those costs, choose to invest in something that promises a greater return – increased confidence, clarity, focus, hope, and joy.
You realize the cost of inaction.
A Note from Kathy
About why helping you refresh your life is so incredibly important…
I’ll be honest, I wouldn’t have refreshed my life if I hadn’t been forced to. But when I lost my job in early 2020 and my 20+ year career came to an abrupt end, I had no choice.
And it’s the best thing that I’ve ever done.
I didn’t understand the breadth and depth of what I needed from life until I had the opportunity to really deeply reflect on that question. I hadn’t fully recognized how much better I felt when I had the chance to live out my values every day. I thought I knew who I was, but I realized that a lot had shifted over the years, and that self-definition needed more updating than my resume.
And that was only the beginning.
That profound self-awareness led me to purposeful action. I’ve always been a striving, high achiever, but I found ways to bring more focus and purpose to that productivity. I spend less time feeling overwhelmed, and I balance my striving with rhythms that sustain my sanity. Now, I live with energy and clarity every day because I know who I am and I know that I’m living on purpose.
I’ve seen the transformation in my own life and I’ve witnessed how other women have transformed their lives because of this process. I’ve realized that a Real Life Refresh shouldn’t have to wait until we’re forced into it. That’s why I’ve created this program – so that you can have the guidance and support you need to get out of feeling stuck, uncertain, or overwhelmed and refresh your real life on your terms.
So, what are you waiting for?
If you’re not sure it’s the right time, listen to Barb who said “By all practical measures, this was the wrong time for me to do this. But personally, this was the perfect time. I’m so glad I took the leap.”
If you’re not sure if it will really have an impact, remember that you can always change your mind within the first month. Although I’m betting that the insights you’ll gain from just the first month of the program will be worth more to you than your whole investment!
And if you’re not sure you’re worth this investment of time and money, I’m here to banish that belief and call it out for what it is: FALSE. You are the incredible, one-of-a-kind you. Remarkably and uniquely talented. Created for a particular purpose and placed here on this earth to serve and impact particular people. You are worth this investment – and so much more. Your choice for a Real Life Refresh honors the goodness inside you that might just need some polishing up so you can shine again. And your choice for a Real Life Refresh benefits all those you love and serve who are counting on you to impact their lives for the better.
There’s no better time than now to invest in yourself and your goodness. I can’t promise you exactly what your refreshed life will look like, but I can promise you this: I’ll be alongside you to guide you and encourage you every step of the way.
I can’t wait to meet you, teach you, and cheer you on inside Real Life Refresh!
With you and for you,
