Daring Way™ Therapy and Retreats
What would you do if you had the courage to really get vulnerable and take risks in your personal and professional life?
If contemplating that question makes you feel like curling up with takeout and a bottle of rosé for a good old-fashioned Netflix binge, you’re not alone. Most of us are terrified of (or repulsed by) the idea of getting intimate with uncertainty, vulnerability, and the guarantee that sometimes, even when we try our best, we fail.
We end up choosing safety over courage, perfectionism over growth, and numbing out over leaning in. But it’s a bad bargain. In chasing an illusion of safety, we lose out of some of the best life has to offer.
It doesn’t have to be that way. The Daring Way™ methodology, based on the work of leading researcher, speaker & author Dr. Brené Brown, supports individuals to live their most wholehearted, courageous, and connected lives.
Daring Way™ Retreats at Stella Nova
Weekend intensives offer two jam packed days of workshops, reflection, and tools for new ways of showing up in your life.
Daring Greatly™ for Women in the Arena is a deep dive into what it means for you to live your life “in the arena”. What would you do if you were the bravest version of yourself? We’ll find out together as we tackle topics like making peace with vulnerability, dealing with shame and guilt, and learning to be courageous while also treating ourselves with compassion. Next Session: Winter 2020.
Rising Strong™ for Ambitious Women is about developing skills for resilience after we experience failure, setbacks or challenges – which are critical skills we need both at work and in our personal lives. You’ll leave the weekend with a better understanding of how your current narrative is holding you back, and how you can move forward with courage and confidence even after a fall. Next Session: October 26-27.
Each of these intensives can be attended separately or combined, with discounts available for participants attending both. Space is limited to six just people for each intimate weekend experience, so email today to reserve your spot.

Individual Therapy
One-on-one support
Working on The Daring Way™ in individual therapy sessions is a great option for digging into the material in a setting where you can dig deep and get personalized support. This option provides the most privacy, therapist attention, and ability to delve into connections between past and present. This would also be a more appropriate option for clients who want to use The Daring Way™ to work on particularly painful parts of their story.
Some of the feedback that we’ve received is that weekly sessions really give our clients time to internalize what they’re learning, and practice it in their real lives before moving on to new material.
Completing a Daring Way™ program in individual therapy generally takes about 3-4 months of weekly sessions, or could be done twice a week over half that span.
