Your Past Holds the Key to Your Next Chapter

A Virtual Life Review Course for Women

Starts January 2025

Rich Life. Deep Stories. What’s Next?

You’ve spent decades building a career, taking care of your family, and serving your community. You’ve done a lot and done it well. Now, something is calling you to pause. To reflect. To choose consciously what’s next.

The question bubbles up:

“How do I make my next chapter meaningful and fulfilling?”

The Power of Looking Back to Move Forward

The New York Times recently highlighted what successful women are discovering: Life review isn’t just about reflecting on the past – it’s about using your experiences to shape a meaningful future. As the article notes, “It’s not only looking back, but also looking forward at who you are. What could be the next chapter of your life?”

Even Jane Fonda, at age 60, used this process to “recognize patterns and cultivate confidence.” Now at 86, she continues to inspire women to use their wisdom to create powerful next chapters.

Introducing “Your Life in Review”

In this intimate, 12-week circle of women, you’ll:

✓ Transform years of experience into clear wisdom for your future

✓ Release old patterns that no longer serve you

✓ Discover themes and strengths you didn’t realize you had

✓ Move from uncertainty to inspired action

✓ Create a vision for your next chapter that truly resonates

 

The next session starts Winter 2025

The path is your own but we’re on this journey together

I’m Joanna Klein, your guide through the life review process. 

I understand the challenges many of us face as we age. I, too, have felt that gnawing feeling that there is something more possible and found that life review is the path to the clarity and inspiration that we deserve in our third act.

Leveraging my 40 years of experience creating programs that transform lives, I designed this journey to help you shift from uncertainty to inspired action.

 

“This course has definitely given me the courage to move forward, begin to make new habits and change old ones, reflect on my past, find more gratitude toward family members, mentor and more!.”

Answers to Frequently Asked Questions

How much time will this take?

Our weekly sessions last for 90 minutes each.  Following each session, you’ll be given an assignment (we call them explorations) that usually takes about one hour to complete. The explorations are based on the theme of each session and include a mixture of journaling prompts and activities. 

How is life review different from therapy?

While life review involves reflecting on your broader life journey, therapy uses clinical techniques to address specific mental health concerns that are negatively impacting your current well-being and functioning. Life review seeks to find empowerment, meaning and closure by re-examining the entirety of your life, whereas therapy aims to relieve current acute symptoms and issues.

What is the relationship between life review and life story writing?

Through the process of life review, you uncover the stories that have meaning; that have had the biggest impact on you and which are the source of wisdom and joy. You shine a light on your strengths and on those experiences in your life worth writing about. 

Part of how we gain new perspectives on the stories we tell ourselves is through writing, and there are writing assignments throughout the program. 

If you’ve ever journaled, you have experienced the insight that can come from intuitive writing.

Writing brings clarity. It’s healing. It’s a release. It gets it out of your head and onto the page.

As you write, you will likely find that your life has had much more substance to it and more impact than you realized. 

And through this process, if you want to write meaningful stories to pass something on, this is a great starting place.

What if I can’t make all the live sessions?

All of the sessions will be recorded an you’ll have access to the replays through your private portal on the membership site.

How much of my time will this take?

We will meet once a week for 12 weeks. You’ll have recommended writing and activity assignments and recommended reading, but the amount of time you want to devote to those activities is up to you.  This course is designed in a way that makes you look forward to your thought-provoking assignments without feeling overwhelmed or under pressure to produce.

What if I can’t remember much from my past?

That’s a common concern and we understand why. The course lessons, prompts and guided visualizations are delivered in a way that jogs your memory and helps you explore the past in a gentle, safe way.

What if my past is too painful?

As a counselor and intuitive coach, I know how difficult it is to experience and recall painful memories. In this course, you’ll be gently guided to explore the difficult experiences that influenced who you are today. However, you do not have to go beyond what is comfortable or feels right for you. There are many exercises that help you make peace with some of the most challenging moments of your past and celebrate your strength and ability to rise above. You’ll also have a safe and compassionate community of other life reviewers to lean on throughout your journey.

What is your refund policy?

If you purchase this course and feel it is not right for you within 15 days of the opening class, you are protected with our money-back guarantee. Simply email us and we will process your refund.

What if I’m not ready but want to learn more about how this process works?

We recommend starting with our free downloadable guide so you get a feel of what’s involved and the process of life story writing. You can also schedule a call to ask any questions you have.

Writing down my stories has made me notice many of my life events were more impactful than I realized and that I was still carrying some shame, guilt, or regret about them. Writing down my stories has allowed me to shine the light and see those stories from a new perspective. It has freed up stagnant energy and lightened a load I didn’t even know I was carrying.
