The Thriving Circle
The Thriving Circle is our year-long program where in an intimate group of powerful women, you embark on the journey of healing Patriarchy Stress Disorder® (PSD) and other intergenerational, collective, and personal traumas and shifting from "how much can I bear?" to "how good can it get?" in every area of your life.
The course takes you on a deep healing journey through the 5 stages of The Thriving Method® co-developed by Dr. Valerie and Jeffrey:
1
Waking up in prison
Recognizing on a deep, embodied level that there’s nothing wrong with you and exactly how the layers of intergenerational, collective, and personal traumas have been holding you back from fully living the life designed by your desires.
2
Meeting the prison guards (PG’s) and ending the war with them
PGs are trauma defenses that are holding us back, showing up in our: mind (the inner critic, the imposter syndrome, mental fog, lack of clarity, etc.); body - physical/emotional/health expressions (anxiety, stress, trouble sleeping, weight that doesn’t feel authentic, hormonal imbalances, autoimmune conditions, migraines, PMS/PMDD/perimenopause/menopause symptoms, etc.); and actions (procrastination, addictions, self-sabotage, etc.).
3
Evolving the PG’s into Bodyguards
As we rewire the nervous system, create embodied safety, and heal, we can evolve PGs -- our trauma defenses that operate unconsciously or automatically -- into Bodyguards, conscious mechanisms, tools, and strategies to maintain safety and healthy boundaries as we move more and more into enjoying a life designed by our authentic desires.
4
Digging the tunnel
Now with the safety and capacity established, and with the resources reclaimed from PGs, we’re ready to dig the tunnel to freedom. Here we uncover and heal layers of intergenerational, collective, and personal traumas and work through them using mind-body-energy tools.
5
Savoring freedom
Here we find ourselves on the outside of the invisible inner prison, living the life designed by our desires. End or story, right? Not exactly. Our expansion into quantum new levels of having, beeing, and experiencing triggers deeper layers of intergenerational, collective, and personal traumas and with that -- quantum new opportunities for healing. Here we also use special mind-body-energy techniques to expand our capacity to take in all the good and integrate it, make it our new normal, so we can keep on expanding without being pulled back by the “upper limit problem” or self-sabotage.
"Everything was "perfect." And it wasn't. After doing this work... I, in short, feel free to be myself. The question that I have come back to... is "What does Erin want?" My success was not having to renew my Law license... I now make far more than I used to make and I work for about an hour a day."
- Erin W.
“Being able to share freely - without judgment - that's that's the most beautiful part I think. A lack of judgment of the others, and at the same time we could get triggered by some shares and you reframe it in such a beautiful way… every share is a healing opportunity.”
- Yayi
"I make 50K more now and work half the time. I've now realized I get to have it all. I get to have the career that I want. I get to have these two daughters. And I'm in a great place in my work."
- Amanda P.
"I didn't even have the ability to know what I desired... I would have never been able to predict that. I quit the clinic and I'm in my business full-time, virtually. Designing it exactly the way I want... Tons of rest... Working minimal hours... Making more money than I've ever made."
- Dr. Andrea M.
"I realized that my beautiful, magical supportive husband threatened my "struggle" identity that I didn't even realize I had. I realized that I didn't know who I was without an element of struggle and that I had been subtlety undermining my relationship for the whole 10 years we had been together."
- Christin H.
I'm now doing my business in a way that is perfectly aligned with that inner whisper that I've always had... I'm no longer a prisoner to anxiety or depression... I feel present and safe in my body and receive love and support from my partner. It's beyond comprehension how much my life has changed.
- Jeni R.
I could never understand why I wasn’t fulfilled by all the accomplishments, opportunities, travels, family, marriage… All the things that should have made me feel fulfilled, and happy.”
- Barbara
“The experience I had in The Thriving Circle has provided the clarity, the confidence, and the conviction that YES, I CAN.”
- Jaclyn
“I had all the awareness but I had all this frustration - why can’t I just feel like I’m truly moving forward? TTC helped me realize that I had been working so hard to be smaller than I really was... TTC changed that for me and I've doubled my revenue 4 times.”
- Mar T.
“It blew me out of the water because I’ve been looking for this probably my entire life, but deliberately for the last 15 to 20 years. It's the one thing that has truly worked."
- Janelle
“I use the tools [I learned in the program] daily to help me with anxiety. I no longer take medication for that.
- Tori
“The most magical circle I’ve ever been in.”
- Tatiana
“The emotional trauma is a whole other layer I never knew existed, or considered to be trauma.”
- Idalis
“For me, the fundamental shift over the past year was embodying my own worthiness.”
- Brooke
"The big change for me was… I feel safe in my body. I didn’t. I didn’t feel safe in my body. I didn’t feel safe around people.”
- Christi D.
"I felt like I was on the edge of something. There was a huge transformation calling to me... My visibility was increasing and expanding. I knew I needed support for that next leap. And it was a HUGE leap."
- Asha Frost
“The more I connect with myself, through these practices and self-reflection, the more I connect with the people in my life.”
- Dana
“The number one shift that I saw was in my relationship with my mother. We had a 9-hour conversation, and I was surprised with how I was able to have so much clarity, confidence and a clear voice on what I needed to tell my mother.”
- Shalu
“I've uncovered what has kept me from my next level of visibility, clarity, happiness, mission, and money. As a result, I had the highest income month in 5 or 6 years. Those old prison guards... They are now my bodyguards for my joy!”
- Callan
“I’ve been in The Thriving Circle for 2 months now and I just feel like a completely different person… I see a shift in my family too.”
- Cassie
“I just wanted to wake up and feel happy. I now do.”
- Kara
"This work was the missing piece I didn't know to look for. Feeling more peaceful gives me more power. There's more closeness, less struggle and fight. The gap that used to be between me and other people is now filled with love and understanding."
- Claudia
“I know what it’s like to be always searching for that deep, deep healing and a deep release. You get a little bit jaded after a while. But this was different. The biggest difference was that [TTC] shows me the truth of who I really am. And I'm believing it for the first time."
- Merilyn
“Just a completely new paradigm of what's possible and the way that I can feel in my life… as good as money is, it's also about the connection that I have with the people in my life. I feel much more open. I feel much more connected to myself and to other people.”
- Kim
