Any of these sound familiar?
● You’ve noticed that many of your relationships (of all types!) feel surface-level, and you crave more.
● You’d like to make new friendships and connections, but you’re struggling to find open-minded people with similar interests to connect and hang out with consistently.
● People close to you have mentioned that it’s hard to get to know you on a deeper-level (even though you hate surface-level!)
● You’ve noticed that sometimes your lack of vulnerability, introversion, or anxious tendencies get the best of you when it comes to making new friends or deepening current ones.
● You crave being part of a community of interesting or spontaneous people, but the older you get, the harder it seems to be to expand and maintain a circle of close friends.
● You meet or know interesting people, but then struggle to keep momentum or deepen connections, and things either fade or stay surface-level.
● You put effort into building friendships, but it feels one-sided, not reciprocal, or like not enough.
● You’re a deep thinker, but you often feel like you could benefit by being more self reflective if you had the right tools and were with the right people.
If you’ve nodded along to any one of these so far, then you’re in the right place.
Imagine how your life be different if, instead, you…
Finally felt like you’ve found other open-minded people (who you engage with consistently) who like to delve deep on topics (even the taboo ones), and have meaningful conversations that matter.
Had less resistance in showing your true self to new people, and felt more confident, accepted, and seen.
No longer felt as self-conscious, hurt, or mad at those friendships that were one-sided because you’ve changed your outlook, and actually you don’t even really interact with those types of people anymore.
Released the pressure you put on yourself to find the “perfect” group or activity, and instead got involved in a community that feels welcoming and encouraging, and just keep showing up.
Took a look inward on a regular basis with far less fear, and were more curious about what you found, what it means, and if it’s serving you.
Had more opportunities (and confidence!) sharing your values and unique life experiences so new connections transformed into deeper friendships naturally.
If you like the life you envisioned above, (and you’re ready to make an honest effort) then you might be a great fit for this 3-month group-coaching program.

A taste of the key ingredients and lessons you’ll learn in this group-coaching program.
3-Month Virtual Group Coaching Program + Wednesdays + 5.08.24 - 8.07.24
Seattle In-Person Launch Workshop: Sunday, 5.5.24
Connecting first with yourself is an essential ingredient for connecting deeper with others.
Appetizers: Reflect to Connect
You’ll uncover who YOU are as a friend, what you uniquely value/offer as an individual and as a friend, and how your inner dialogue, self-talk, and mindset is impacting your social life, relationships, and friendships.
Course 1: Optimize For Deep Connection Potential
Gaining clarity about what you’re looking for in friendship is important so that you can focus on aligning, building and deepening them.
You’ll discover what types of friendships you’re excited to create, nourish, or move on or grow from by harnessing the power of your own personal values and friendship frameworks. From this, you’ll learn how to engage in this next chapter of your life so you’ll start connecting deeper with yourself and potential new friends.
Course 2: Create Connection
Creating initial connection with potential friends is important so you can get comfortable with being yourself, new social skills and recognizing opportunities for more and deeper connection.
After you’ve discovered how to meet new potential friends, you’ll learn how to create meaningful and impactful connection from the get-go. This includes how to initiate and approach, be more approachable with body language, have better conversations, and how to use emotional intelligence (EQ) and storytelling skills. Great skills for current friends/connections too!
From the activities you do together to the conversations you have, this is the course where you’ll delve deeper into how to have more intentional, deeper, and meaningful experiences with people and friends.
Course 3: Deepen Connection
Now that you’re feeling more confident on how to create that spark of connection with people, you’ll learn how to take those connections to the next level. This includes how to reach out/initiate meetups, and how to naturally create an even deeper connection with people over time through shared experiences and communication skills (such as curiosity and vulnerability).
Dessert Course : Maintain Connection
The final dessert course will help you learn how to continue to deepen and maintain the friendships you’ve recently made or had for years even as life changes and evolves.
You’ll learn how how to identify good quality friends and how to work with the natural cycle of friendships changing over time. This includes topics like having difficult conversations (think fallouts, expressing needs and apologizing), expressing needs and boundaries, communication styles, reconnecting or reigniting friendships, and maintaining connection as life changes and evolves.

Yes, you can watch the replay. If you are not on the calls live you will miss the interactive aspect of the program, but will still be able to garner all the material. With that said, if your goal is to create deeper connection and friendships in your life, it’s highly recommended that you make an effort to attend as many live sessions as possible to practice those skills with other Feasters in your cohort. We understand that life gets busy and things come up, so if you miss a session here and there, don’t sweat it! We do recommend you make an effort to come to the first four sessions.
