Stop managing your life around what you're waiting for.
ADVANCE is a 10-week virtual workshop for people who are done saying "someday" — and ready to do something about it.
Ten sessions. Ninety minutes each. Real tools. Real community. Real change.

Tools.
Clinically-informed, practical frameworks — not vague inspiration. DBT skills, values work, mindfulness, emotion regulation.
Structure.
Ten sessions with a real arc. A beginning, middle, and end. Accountability built in. Not a passive course.
Community.
Small group format. People doing real work alongside you. A network that doesn't end when the workshop ends.
You know what to do.
You're just not doing it.
You've read the books. You've listened to the podcasts. You've done the self-reflection. You know what needs to change. But somehow, you're still in the same place — circling the same thoughts, putting off the same things, waiting for the same "right moment" that never quite arrives.
That gap between knowing and doing isn't a personal failure. It's the most common thing Nic sees in clinical work. And it has a real solution — but it's not more information. It's structure, practical tools, and people doing the work alongside you.
Not therapy. Not a course.
Not a lecture series.
Ten sessions. One arc.
Each session builds on the last. This is not a menu — it's a journey with a beginning, a middle, and an actual end.
A Plan to Engage
Set your intention. Meet your group. Begin with honesty.
Step Into Your Growth Zone
Why comfort feels safe — and what it quietly costs you.
Self-Reflection & Discovery
Get honest about who you are and what you actually want.
Building Community
You need people. This session teaches you to show up for them.
Mindfulness: Presence & Awareness
Slow down. Be here. Notice what's actually true right now.
Emotions & Communication
Feel it. Name it. Express it without doing damage.
Be Open to Change
Impermanence is not loss — it's life. Learn to move with it.
Live in Concert with Your Situation
Stop fighting reality. Work with what you actually have.
Attitude of Gratitude
Gratitude is not earned. It is practiced. Here's how.
The Time Is Now
You have the tools. You have the community. Go.
Five things that don't go away
when the workshop ends.
Your values, named and lived.
Leave Week 3 knowing exactly what drives you — and with a plan to act on it.
A daily mindfulness practice.
A practical tool for slowing down and noticing what's true.
Emotional + communication skills.
DBT-informed skills for feeling fully without doing damage.
One committed action, taken.
The "full send" — the thing you've been delaying, done within 48 hours of Week 10.
A real community.
People who've done this work alongside you. This doesn't go away.
You might be exactly who we built this for.
- You know what you want — but can't seem to close the gap.
- You're in a transition and need structure, tools, and real support.
- You want community with people doing serious work on themselves.
- You've read the books. You're ready to actually apply it.
- You've been saying "someday." You're ready to say "now."
ADVANCE isn't right for everyone — and that's intentional.
- People in active mental health crisis who need clinical treatment
- People looking for a self-paced course to do whenever they feel like it
- People who aren't willing to show up consistently for 10 weeks

Get in at the Founder Rate.
Cohort 1 is limited to 10 people. That's intentional — ADVANCE is a small group experience. When it's full, it's full.
As a founding member, you lock in a rate that won't be offered again after this cohort closes. You're not just getting a deal — you're getting in at the ground level of something being built in real time. Your experience shapes what ADVANCE becomes.
Founding Member Rate
Available to Cohort 1 only. Pay in full or choose a monthly payment plan. This rate goes away when the cohort closes — or when we hit 10 participants, whichever comes first.
