Held
A 3-month coaching program
No producing, no performing, no solving.
Just the space you need to hear yourself.
Come tell me your story.
Tell me about the winding, spiraling road that got you here. Tell me how you came to this inflection point, or this place of dissolution, or pain, or wondering.
In the telling, you might…
Unearth old patterns that can shed light on the present and affect future action
Release stuff you’ve been carrying for too long
Discover that your inner dialogue includes voices that aren’t genuinely yours
…and lots else that may leave you feeling lighter, clearer, more at ease.
“You have supported me so much, in self-resourcing and settling in, in ways that I feel will be lasting and generative. I feel as though you were tracking my development in a caring and personalized way. Increasingly, I find this to be rare.”
No writing. No pressure.
There is tremendous healing power in walking through our life stories, feeling for what’s true, discarding what isn’t needed, and making connections we didn’t see at the time.
We do this in our writing groups all the time, but the real power of the process isn’t the writing—it’s being lovingly witnessed as we dig deep express what we know.
Still, for many, writing can feel performative. In this program, we skip the page and go straight to the healing essence of this work.
“Working with Joy is like having a friend who goes on one of those hikes where you taste the fresh fruit that's fallen onto the ground, and feel brightened up by the mist of the waterfall, and see and imagine things that you don't quite have words for.”
How does it work?
We’ll get together for an hour every week or two within the space of three months (or one season).
You’ll start where you start: maybe you’ll talk about something that happened last week, or when you were five. You don’t have to know—we’ll see what emerges, and follow the path from there.
I’ll ask some guiding questions, point out connections. I’ll add a little healing juju to the space and track what your energy is doing—where did you brighten, tighten, where were you holding, whose voice was speaking in a given moment…
After each session you’ll get a written (by me, not a robot) summary of what you discovered. A little beauty for you to keep.
