CIJ Clarity Catalyst
For people who are ready to get clear, unstuck, and find freedom
The Clarity Catalyst is a Transformational Course for Self-Discovery, a proven state-of-the-art methodology based on a Stanford University Master's Degree Course, which has revolutionized the art of success.
Discover The Clarity That Transforms Disconnection into Purpose
Do you feel like there’s a greater version of your life waiting for you, but you’re unsure how to step into it?
Are you longing for clarity on your vision and mission, yet find yourself stuck in doubt, fear, or old patterns that hold you back?
Many adults who arrive here were not failing, they were disappearing. They learned early that being valuable meant being everything to everyone. The reliable employee, the devoted mother, the supportive partner, or the steady friend. Over time, this became automatic: saying yes when they wanted to say no, prioritizing everyone else's needs, and abandoning their own dreams to keep the peace.
The result? A life that looks successful from the outside but feels empty on the inside.
The Clarity Catalyst 8-Week Program brings these unconscious patterns into awareness without shame and without blame. Rather than focusing on what you've been doing wrong, it teaches you how to recognize where you've been giving yourself away, rebuild your connection to your inner wisdom, and consciously choose how you want to show up in your work, relationships, and life.
Through structured practices, guided self-inquiry, and proven frameworks rooted in emotional intelligence and mindfulness, you'll step out of reflexive people-pleasing and chronic overwhelm and into grounded self-trust and purposeful living.
For those who learned to disappear to belong, this program offers a way to come home to yourself: awake, clear, and self-directed.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many weeks is the course and how long are the classes?
8 weeks of live classes; each class is 90 minutes via Zoom.
What's the investment?
The investment is $1,197 (or $399 x 3 monthly payments).
What makes this course different?
The Clarity Catalyst Course is based on a Stanford University master’s degree program that was developed in 1979 to cultivate creativity and self-expression. It was touted the most life-transforming course ever to be taught at Stanford.
This is an intimate online live course for the person who is ready to go deep and get clear by diving inward to discover their vast well of wisdom, creativity, and insight. They know that having it all (freedom, love, purposeful work, abundance, peace) takes cultivation, deep inquiry, and practice. AND They are ready to do it.
You will be given the structure to get to the core of who you are and what you want. Your clarity, self- confidence, sense of direction, and purpose will increase exponentially.
During this 8-week journey into self, you will be provided with the map, the tools, the tribe and the guide to get you unstuck, empowered, and poised to be living your most lit up authentic life.
Whether the program catapults you to write that book that has been swirling around in your mind for years, leave that job that you loathe and step into your new vision and mission with financial stability, or cultivate the confidence and self-love to attract in your soul partner….you will be clear and ready to step into it all.
The process is a delicious blend of sacred sharing in a safe space, experiential mindfulness and emotional intelligence exercises to refine and define who you are, weekly calls to action to shift your perspective on how you see yourself and the world, plus meaningful conversations with your peer coaching connection partner mid-week to land the learning and solidify the group.
This program is also ideal for individuals navigating life transitions such as children leaving for school, empty nesters, or those who have been caretakers for their parents. The Clarity Catalyst Program provides a nurturing space for exploration and transformation during times of change.
Is there homework?
Yes! You'll commit to 5 minutes of journaling + 10 minutes of meditation daily, and weekly peer calls (20 min). All other "Soulwork" will mainly be done during your regular day to help you see the world in a whole new way.
Will classes be recorded if I miss one?
Yes, but we ask that you commit to attending at least 6 out of 8 classes live. This is a group journey and your presence matters so please only say yes if you can be committed to the entire journey.
Is this program only for women?
No! While most of our graduates are women, the program is open to men and anyone seeking clarity and purpose.
What does the LIVE course entail?
The LIVE classes are designed to give you real-time support as you move through this transformational journey. Every week at the same time, I’ll be live, guiding you through the modules, key breakthroughs and answering questions. You can think of it like an online college course: lessons are recorded, and you log in to your personal dashboard to access them. Dedicating less than an hour a day outside of class is enough to start seeing real change. You’ll also have the opportunity to ask questions, share insights, and support others in our private group, making this a truly interactive experience.
What's your refund policy?
We want you to feel confident in your investment, which is why we offer a 48-hour refund policy if the program isn’t the right fit for you.
