Recover With Colleen The Next Chapter
Get emotionally sober so you can trust yourself--with or without a drink in your hand. 
12-Week
Accelerated Recovery Process©

Retrain your unconscious mind to restore integrity, willpower and motivation. So you have a care-free relationship with alcohol...even when people around you are drinking. 
Learn how to use self-compassion, realistic expectations and scientifically proven strategies to make your mind and body a safe place to be. So you no longer want to numb, avoid and escape your own life.
The biggest mistake drinkers make is to label themselves as "alcoholics." 
Before you decide you're an alcoholic, consider that over-drinking is a symptom of emotional disconnect. Do you:
 
close
SUFFER FROM BRAIN FOG, UNCERTAINTY AND LACK OF FOCUS that keep you stuck in a "funk?"
close

RELY ON CAFFEINE, ALCOHOL AND MEDICATIONS to "get going," "calm down" or go to sleep.

close
WASTE TIME mindlessly scrolling through media (but you can't seem to stop yourself). And then...
close
FEEL TOO OVERWHELMED to workout, cook healthy, read a book for fun or get to bed early because you never have enough time?
close
HAVE TROUBLE MAKING SIMPLE DECISIONS like whether or not to take a shower or what to make for dinner because you overthink everything?
close
OPERATE ON AUTOPILOT-- feeling distracted, "in your head" and like life is passing you by?
close
"PERFORM" the role of yourself around others but feel agitated or depressed when alone? Most people would be surprised to know you struggle.
  Sound familiar?
You're not an alcoholic. And shaming yourself into good behavior only works until you start feeling better. Once the shame is gone, so is your motivation to be "good."

Am I right?

The Accelerated Recovery Process© is the roadmap to emotional sobriety, which is the ability to deal with life as it is instead of how it should be.

Emotional sobriety will teach you how to identify and respond intelligently to self-defeating patterns. So that your willpower and motivation flow from integrity instead of shame.

 
Ready to stop beating yourself up and let that shit go? Learn how to balance tough love with kindness in a supportive sisterhood of women.
The Accelerated Recovery Process© will get your brain off autopilot. Reverse the flow of cause and effect. So that you can take control of your life instead of just letting life happen to you.
12 weeks from now, you'll have the SKILL to:
check
Resolve low motivation with simple and clear actions that feel good so that you're no longer held hostage by "funk" moods.
check
See that giving away your power in exchange for peace and/or approval doesn't work (and how to stop doing that).
check
Manage boredom and loneliness so that spending time alone feels rejuvenating instead of feeling like you need a babysitter.
check
Deal with worrisome and intrusive thoughts that are blocking joy so you can be present for the little moments that make life meaningful.
check
Stop negative self-talk that makes you feel fat, old and undesirable.
check
Heal shame and process guilt so that you can forgive yourself for past mistakes and move on with confidence.
check
Cope with symptoms of post-acute withdrawal syndrome (PAWS) so you don't fall back into old habits.
Actually, feelings are facts. It's your thoughts about your feelings that are not facts.
Actually,

It's your thoughts

TNC is Perfect for You if:
add
You want to stop identifying as someone with an "addictive personality" and start identifying as someone who is capable of acting in her own best interest.
add
You want a more positive outlook on life and to feel confident that you're capable of solving (instead of just tolerating) your own problems.
add
While drinking is (or was) an issue, joining the religion of sobriety is not the right path for you. You want to peacefully co-exist with alcohol.
add
You're willing to commit to a coaching program that offers guidance and accountability so that you can resolve your subconscious baggage once and for all.
add
You need some friends who are honest, vulnerable and supportive.
add
You're sick and tired of being sick and tired. You're ready to let go of beliefs and behaviors that no longer serve you–no bullshit and no blame. And move on with the next chapter of your life...
The fundamental element that defines the quality of our lives...
Is the people with whom we surround ourselves and the conversations that we have with them.
Colleen’s approach to this epidemic problem is unlike any I ran across in my quest for answers. She wraps her own experiences into teaching, nursing, mothering (tough and kind when needed) in the perfect combination, counseling and yes coaching. This is a dynamite combination for helping women not only overcome their issues with alcohol but to conquer the underlying causes that have likely been lifelong obstacles.

Her approach and coaching has gotten me completely and totally out of my own way and helped me blossom back into the person I was always meant to be.

I would recommend this program to anyone who is searching for a way out of the old negative can’t do attitude mindsets. Colleen taught me it’s not the situations in my life that are the “problem” it’s my thoughts and feelings about the situation that are the problem.

The Next Chapter is a mastermind peer group specifically tailored for women who are breaking their dependance on alcohol AND perfectionism.

Our recovery is holistic. We practice awareness and self-care. So that we no longer need to numb, escape or abandon ourselves.

We are learning to stand in our truth even when it feels uncomfortable and hard. And to laugh and love ourselves while we do it.

The Next Chapter is for women are ready to experience transformation by holding themselves accountable.

Big girl panties up.

"I don't know what to do with myself..."
Quitting drinking solves a lot of problems. You feel better. You sleep better. Your thinking is clearer.

We all know that the less you drink, the better you feel.

But what happens next? Do you just stand there--not-drinking? Feeling super clear about feeling super crazy? Hold your breath until they take you away in the white van?

Most of us hesitate to quit drinking—long after it serves us-- because we know alcohol isn’t the only problem. It’s just an intoxicating distraction.

But we’re afraid that if we stop long enough to figure things out, life as we know it will end.

Thankfully, that’s exactly what happens.

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be?" Marianne Williamson
If you cling to the idea that alcohol was the problem, you'll mistake sobriety as the solution.

Which is why many of us, after a few months, feel less motivated and more depressed. We're uncomfortable in our own skin. Swinging between happy and crying, angry and numb.

These are symptoms of emotional disconnect. Alcohol was neither the cause nor the cure.

 Instead of setting the goal to "never drink again" (which keeps you focused on alcohol), shift to an intention that feels more inviting. 
Commit to spending one hour per week for the next 12 weeks with a supportive group of women who are learning how to process thoughts and emotions in a healthy and productive way. So that you can be clear on who you are and what you really want.

You don't have to feel ready. Or figure anything out. You just need a PLAN for how to get the coping skills that will naturally incline you to act in your own best interest.
The SECRET to mastering emotional sobriety is to join a tribe that normalizes intellectual, emotional and spiritual growth. 
Are you ready?
Change does not happen overnight.
You have to learn how to be the person you want to be.

Practice makes progress.
(Perfect isn't a thing.)

Colleen doesn't focus on the addiction to alcohol - but guides you to search deeper to find and correct the disconnect. In my 5 months of recovery/sobriety, she has taught me how to practice self care and opened a whole new perspective about myself that in my 56 years has been in hibernation. I've tried so many times to quit before--paid for coaching, apps, books, etc...Colleen made this journey about me, not the substance, and I am forever grateful I found her. I highly recommend her program - she's my lifesaver.

Working with Colleen has been life changing. When I joined her tribe of like minded women, I was on my last attempts of “where do I go from here” thoughts. My marriage was extremely unhealthy and I physically felt 20 years older then I was. Just every day living and breathing took all my energy keeping up with the mental chatter of negative fixed mindsets. Colleen on day one made me instantly feel as if there was hope. My brain and thoughts had me stuck. The replay of stories from the past had me stuck. As she refers to, I was living in a junk drawer filled with old tangled computer wires tangled and step by step helping me untangle each wire from the pile

Colleen’s approach to coaching me through my recovery was unique and came from a holistic approach. The saying “when the student is ready the teacher will appear “ stands out for me because she really broke down the rationale behind alcohol use disorder. She created a safe space and we were able to uncover the real reasons behind my use, develop healthier coping mechanisms  to life circumstances, and address my much needed self care.

If you want to change the story of who you are...
Change your tribe.
The Old Story...
keyboard_arrow_right
You're a high-functioning overachiever who's given your best to everyone around you. And relied on unhealthy coping mechanisms to keep going and also to mask how empty and depleted you feel. 
keyboard_arrow_right
You're afraid to explore your deeper emotions like resentment and discontent because you assume that something is wrong with you or your life OR that that you'll get so overwhelmed you can't function.
keyboard_arrow_right
Your identity is defined by your responsibilities and the expectations of other people. The demands of motherhood, career and marriage have eclipsed your awareness of what YOU really want and need. 
keyboard_arrow_right
The pursuit of perfection has left you burned out and overwhelmed. You've been pretending to be okay so long that you have no idea what it feels like to actually be okay.
keyboard_arrow_right
You feel lonely and stuck. You long for a sense of meaning and purpose in yourself and in your relationships.
keyboard_arrow_right
Bottom line: you're sick and tired of being sick and tired.

The Next Chapter
Core Principles

COMMITMENT
Show up for yourself and your group. Practice being the person you want to become.

 Transformation isn't magic. It's a process that takes a lot of work. 

HONESTY
Perfection isn't actually attractive. Vulnerability is the source to connection--not just to others but to yourself.

Be honest, even when it isn't pretty. Trust the process.
SELF-CARE
The reason you feel neglected, overwhelmed and exhausted is because you are. Taking care of unmet needs--physical, emotional and spiritual-- expands your bandwidth and restores your energy and passion for life.
MINDFULNESS
Habits are automated, subconscious processes. "Bad" habits lead to negative experiences (even if they feel good in the moment). "Good" habits have positive results (even if they are hard). There's only one way to find out what works best for you. Mindfulness takes the brain off autopilot and gives you the space to FEEL your truth.

THOUGHT WORK
Awareness is the SKILL of knowing the difference between fact and fiction  (aka the stories you are telling yourself). Learn how to challenge ANY belief and reprogram your brain with intuitive truths that align with your values and best interest.
INTEGRATION
Suppressing emotions generates anxiety, depression and self-defeating coping habits. Learn how to consciously manage your feelings so they aren't subconsciously managing you.
Once you start taking yourself seriously, the only "rule" you have to follow is your own intuition.
WHAT IF...?
arrow_forward
“My spouse/
friends/
coworkers
all drink.”
 I'm going to be honest with you.

Sometimes I feel a tinge of longing when someone pops the cork on a bottle of champagne.

We are social creatures. As you know, humans are hard-wired to mimic the behaviors of those in our tribe.

But compare a few minutes of feeling deprived with days and years of anxiety, shame and regret. It's a no-brainer.

It's true that drinking feels good for an hour or two. And sobriety occasionally feels uncomfortable.

But discomfort is bearable when it serves a purpose. Life is exponentially better and easier when alcohol is no longer a priority.

The truth is that you're going to have second thoughts about any decision you make. Life can feel hard.

Choose your hard wisely.  
arrow_forward
“I don't want
to quit forever.”
You don't have to.

No decision or commitment is permanent, no matter how hard you promise.

Be honest. How many times have you sworn you'd never quit? Yet here you are. Thinking about it...

Certainty is a feeling, not a fact.

You can tell yourself whatever story you want. And so can I. But neither of us can predict the future.

Maybe learning to trust your ability to self-correct is more valuable than swearing you'll never drink again.

Would you agree that the REAL goal--the reason you're considering sobriety--is that you want to feel better?

You want to feel less stressed. More present. Calm, clear and confident.

Have you considered that the reasons you're thinking about quitting are the SAME reasons why you drink in the first place?

Keep the goal. Just change your strategy.

“Now is not a good time. I have an event coming up.”
You’re assuming that not drinking is going to be hard and also not fun. Am I right?

But living as you are is exhausting.

That being said, you’re right to realize that changing your lifestyle will require some time & attention.

Just don't assume that taking care of yourself will feel intrusive and interruptive.

It's drinking that's intrusive and interruptive.

And thinking you should wait to feel better is like procrastinating getting a drink of water when you’re thirsty or refusing to go to the bathroom when you need to pee.

Taking the time to do this course so that you are excited to stay sober at your upcoming event might feel like the best decision you’ve made in a long time.

You might even become one of those annoying happy people.

Glowing is more fun than drinking. Just saying.
