Working With the Stone

Four weeks to begin living more by choice, and less by pattern.

For women who sense there’s more. Life is good, and it could be richer, more fun, more honest, more yours.

It’s four weeks, a small circle of women, in one honest, safe space. A place to take the mask off. To be heard. To hear yourself. And to remember what makes you feel alive.

Four Tuesdays, live with me on Zoom, at 9:00am or 6:00pm AEST. A new circle starts most months.

Debbie, on what the four weeks actually are.

Why we keep walking

Why don’t we just take the stone out?

Most of us don’t. Not because we can’t, but because:

  • Life is busy, and everyone else comes first.
  • It doesn’t hurt enough to stop.
  • We’ve walked with it so long it feels normal.
  • We’re not quite sure what we’d find if we looked.

The cost of not looking

Nothing falls apart. That’s the quiet part.

We just keep shortening our step. Year after year, we live a little smaller than we could.

And one day we look back and wonder why we held back.

These four weeks are the moment you stop, take your shoe off, and look.

Why do it?

What’s in it for you.

As you listen to other women’s stories, you start to recognise things in your own. Through those stories, quiet reflection and a simple framework, over four weeks you begin to:

  • recognise your Stone
  • understand why it formed
  • change your relationship with it
  • rebuild trust in yourself
  • make more authentic choices
  • create a life that reflects who you truly are

How your life can change

The goal isn’t simply to understand your Stone. It’s to stop letting it quietly shape every step you take.

As a result, women experience greater peace, self-trust, authenticity, confidence, joy, freedom, connection and purpose.

Not because they became someone different. Because they became more fully themselves.

Not 100% happy at the end of the four weeks? I’ll give you a full refund.

Price shouldn’t be the thing that stops you. Every circle has a few places at half price, and a few free places too. Just ask.

Ask for a reduced or free place

This is for you if

  • You’ve built a good life, and you sense there’s more
  • You want your next chapter to be your best
  • You’re curious about yourself, rather than critical
  • You want to understand the invisible patterns that have shaped who you are, so you can live more authentically
  • You’d like to do it alongside women who recognise the feeling

It isn’t for you if

  • You’re in acute crisis. That needs specialised help first, and I’ll say so honestly and point you toward it.
  • You want to be told what your life should look like.

In their words

What women say

Women who have done this work describe feeling calmer, lighter, more centred and more present, with a new sense of focus, and the courage to stop waiting.

Questions you might have

What actually happens on a call?

Each call is 90 minutes on Zoom, with the same small group every week. We settle in, then explore that week’s theme together through reflection, gentle questions and sharing. You leave with a practice to take into your week.

Do I have to share my story?

No. Some women speak every week, some listen for three and speak in the fourth. Both are honest ways to be there.

Is what I share kept private?

Yes. What’s shared in the circle stays in the circle. We agree on that together in the first call, and the recordings are only for the women in your circle.

Is this therapy?

No. I’m a counsellor, and that shapes how I listen. But this isn’t treatment. It’s a guided conversation, with a small group of other women in it.

How much time does it take each week?

The 90-minute call, then some time for reflection afterwards. The practices take anywhere from five minutes to an hour a day, depending on how much time you have and how quickly you’d like things to change.

What if I miss a call?

Life happens. Every call is recorded, so you can watch the replay whenever suits you.

Do I need to have listened to the podcast?

No. The circle stands on its own. You don’t need to have heard a single episode.

Will there be guest speakers?

No. It’s a small, private circle with me and the other women.

What if I can’t afford it?

Then ask me. Every circle has a few places at half price, and a few free places too. Ask for a reduced or free place.

What happens after the four weeks?

The WhatsApp group stays open, so you can keep talking with the women in your circle.

What if it isn’t right for me?

If you’re not 100% happy at the end of the four weeks, I’ll give you a full refund.
