Graceful Resilience is the step-by-step method that will guide you to find your inner calm, strengthen your resilience, and learn to love yourself.
So you can create the happy and peaceful life you deserve while inspiring everyone who depends on you.
“I’ve read tons of self-help books and done several programs to help with my anxiety and confidence – I’ve never made so much progress and had so much support than with Sandy and the Graceful Resilience program. My marriage is now thriving, I love my work again, and I am so excited for my future!“
– Shawna P. VP Finance
You’re on a journey to find peace, joy and worthiness from within.
But anxiety, overwhelm and self-criticism are getting in your way.
You’ve read the books, listened to the podcasts, taken the classes… but are stuck figuring out how to put all you’ve learned into action.
I’ve been there too! That is why the Graceful Resilience Method is so powerful. It teaches you the resilience skills you need while giving you a strategy to tap into your inner calm and wisdom so you always know what to do.
Here’s what I hear the most from the amazing parents and leaders who come to work with me. Maybe you can relate… They are doing their best to manage all that life throws at them, but they are:
Overwhelmed with juggling building a career with being present at home.
Tired of being easily triggered and getting into arguments with their partner.
Anxious with fear over what other people think of them, so they hide away or put on a fake face to people please.
Burnt out taking care of house, home, family and work – not believing they are able to prioritize their health and happiness.
Feeling disconnected from who they really are, not knowing their purpose and not loving the person they see in the mirror.
Exhausted, not sleeping, and failing to find the motivation to exercise, eat great, or practice self-care.
Disappointed in themselves when they don’t show up as the best mom, wife, friend and leader they know they can be.
“I honestly never thought it was possible to go an entire week not getting stressed or having anxiety, but you proved me wrong! My family and friends have even mentioned the change they see in me. A friend said I was so peaceful and seemed happier.
My husband and I have gone months without fighting. Yes we disagree from time to time, but there’s so much more peace in our home. And I don’t have Mom guilt about doing things differently than the other moms or taking breaks away to refill my soul.” – Nakona, Homeschooling mother of 4
And like them, you’ve probably been trying to “feel better” for years…
You might have already been to therapy – but still feel stuck having not gotten out of it what you needed.
(and that’s because traditional therapy is primarily focused on re-processing past traumas or treating anxiety with medication)
Or maybe you had good results from therapy – but now that you’re healthier, you’re ready to Uplevel yourself from high-functioning anxiety and burnout to thriving Zen-Badass ready to believe you can go after your dreams.
(without needing a time machine or to win the lottery)
Or you’ve finally planned a vacation hoping that will heal your burnout – just to be stressed the whole time and need a vacation from your vacation.
(because the truth is, if you wait until you’re already burnt out – taking a vacation is like slapping an expensive bandaid on a broken arm)
Or you’ve tried meditation, read all the self-help books and listen to all the top podcasts – just to struggle figuring out on your own how to put all these pieces together so that it all clicks.
(and that’s because you don’t have a clear system and roadmap making it easy to incorporate into your life)
The Graceful Resilience Method is the most holistic step-by-step program designed to transform you into a calm and confident Zen-Badass leader at work, and a serene parent at home going after your dreams.
“I needed help. The slightest tap on my triggers would have sent me over the edge. After taking the program, I’m now practicing more self-compassion, especially when it comes to rest. At work, I’m not procrastinating nearly as much because I see it as a stress-avoidance technique and can manage it now. In everyday life, I’m less reactive. Overall, I feel more calm, cool, and collected.
The combination of videos, growth work, and the group calls helped me understand the stress and reactions in my life and apply the healthier strategies. It is possible to tone down the noise in your head and make life easier.” – Kate P, CPA
THIS is the #1 thing I hear again and again from leaders and parents:
👉 “I just want to ENJOY my life!!! I’m sick of feeling this way!” 👈
I totally get it!
Anxiety ruled my life for *literally* decades.
I became passionate about this after my own, isolated and long journey with anxiety and burnout.
My journey began by helping make my body feel better.
I wanted to feel calm and in control of my emotions. I wanted my mind to shut up long enough to let me sleep and my stomach pain to go away.
Then I realized… Healing was just the beginning.
👯 Healing my anxiety and Feeling Better meant finally creating lifelong friendships.
🧘 It meant getting to know the real Me and loving myself instead of pretending to be someone else to please everyone else.
It meant doing crazy things I never dreamed possible: 🏋️♀️ Like doing 4 Tough Mudders and ✈️ traveling to India alone for my eat, pray, love adventure.
I found my husband. I’m raising a resilient son. I found my calling. And I’m making more money doing what I love – something I never imagined was possible before. And I’m balancing it all without getting burnt out, resentful, or running away like I used to.
It all started with “feeling better”.
That’s what my Graceful Resilience Method is all about.
First healing. Then creating the life anxiety never allowed you to dream was possible.
…And it’s completely and totally possible for you to learn it too! Just like my client Amanda.
She was struggling with figuring out who she really is underneath years of anxiety and what her purpose in life. After learning the Soulful Alignment Technique, everything changed for her. She said:
“I’ve spent thousands of dollars in therapy over the last decade and made more progress from just this technique than years of therapy sessions. With this work I was able to realize my new career didn’t align with my values, leave that field and now I’m in a role I love. And it’s allowed me to actually have productive therapy sessions. This has been invaluable!”
“Sandy is skilled at helping you change your patterns of self-judgment and negative thinking. She helped me build my confidence and recognize my own self-worth. I cannot recommend Sandy highly enough!”
– Paula H. International Teacher
I’ve spent the last 5 years guiding leaders and parents to become calm and confident Zen-Badasses by distilling powerful evidence-based practices (from CBT to meditation and mindfulness, somatic psychology, behavior change, and drawing on my training in Ayurveda and Yoga) to create a step-by-step program anyone can easily incorporate into to their lives.
“Grace Resilience perfectly packaged the tools to help me overcome my fears and become more calm and confident. The pace and format (videos, audio, & written) are balanced in a way to make it easy to apply what I was learning. I love how the meditations helps me integrate what I am focusing on for the week. Sandy has the intuition and coaching skills to get to the heart of the matter quickly. I would still be thinking about what I learned a few days after the session…..it is that powerful. I am truly glad I invested in myself by signing up for Grace Resilience. It is so worth it!“
– Susan Stern, Caregiver Support and Coaching
HOW THE PROGRAM IS DELIVERED
WEEKLY GROUP COACHING
Over 4 months, you’ll have 12 weekly live group coaching calls where you’ll be able to bring your questions, struggles, realizations, and other experiences, and be coached live, as well as learning from others as they share and are coached as well. (Recordings will be made available for those who cannot attend live)
WEEKLY ON DEMAND TRAININGS
These are powerful pre-recorded video lectures of each of the program’s key tools and lessons (see the full curriculum below) that you can start immediately upon enrollment and watch when it is convenient to you. Includes videos, streaming audio and downloadable slides.
WEEKLY GROWTH-WORKBOOKS
These workbooks are hugely beneficial to apply each new skill learned to your every day challenges, stressors and situations. This will help guide you even more in between coaching calls and video lessons, and are there for you to revisit for years to come.
WEEKLY GUIDED MEDITATIONS
For each lesson taught in the program, we’ve created a unique guided meditation (and a few breathing exercises) that compliments and reinforces the skills taught in that week’s curriculum.
STRESSED OUT to THRIVING CEO, CHRISTINE: “I had been stress eating, waking in the middle of the night anxious about things that needed to be done, and felt like I couldn’t unwind without a glass of wine. I’m now sleeping better, much less stressed, eating better, and the tools I learned from Sandy were instrumental and my business is now booming. If you’re dealing with stress or anxiety and want your life back I recommend calling Sandy!”
Program Curriculum
The program is based on these four truths:
- To create the life of your dreams, you need confidence.
- To be confident, you need to love yourself.
- To love yourself, you need to know yourself.
- To truly know yourself, you need to bring down the walls anxiety, stress and burnout put up to “keep you safe”.
Healing is only the first step. And that’s where the program begins.
PHASE ONE: Master your Zen-Badassery
First, we start in the body. Using the Balanced Serenity method, you’ll build a strong foundation of first healing from stress and burnout, while also creating a habit of staying calm and in control.
That way when your kids are acting crazy after a long day – you can lead by example and stay calm but firm instead of reacting and swearing or when Kevin from Sales tries to steamroll you on a conference call with the CEO, you can keep your cool and share your genius instead of shutting down.
We start here because the truth is – all the positive affirmations and mindset shifts in the world will not stop you from overreacting or shutting down in the moment.
So you can show up as a present, calm and compassionate parent, showing your kids by example how to be that way too when they get older and need to find balance between their passion, their family and their health.
PHASE TWO: Embrace your Unapologetic Authenticity
Next, we reconnect with your soul (spirit, personality, the real You – whatever you want to call it) using the Soulful Alignment Technique. Once you refill your cup, are calmer and more in control of your emotions, the defenses come down and true connection can happen.
You’ll be able to figure out who you really are, understand your behaviors and motivations, and create a roadmap of exactly who you want to be and how you want to show up as a parent, a partner, a friend, and a leader.
So you can reignite your connection with your partner and grow together instead of fighting, form life-long friendships, and climb the corporate ladder feeling proud of your accomplishments without feeling arrogant or like a fraud.
PHASE THREE: Embody your Unshakable Worthiness
With that Soulful Alignment from Phase 2, you’ll be able to open your heart with Self-Loving Resilience, because once you see who you truly are, it’s so much easier to learn how to love the person you see in the mirror and create new belief structures that will allow you open up to those dreams that never felt possible before.
So you can unapologetically create moments of joy as you chase your dreams, traveling with friends, writing that book, going up on stage, or finally buying that cabin on a lake – enjoying the little moments and looking back on your life feeling fulfilled as you spent your time crossing off dreams on your bucket list.
PHASE FOUR: Trust your Empowered Action
Finally, after clearing the blocks in your body, your soul and your heart, you’ll be able to Trust your Empowered Action using the Conscious Empowerment Model to make decisions and take action that align with your values and mission in life, manifesting the marriage, family, career, home, and lifestyle that will fill your soul.
This is how you’ll learn when to create smart boundaries to protect your time and your autonomy, and avoid false boundaries that we put up as a way to run away from challenges. You’ll be able to make decisions quickly without procrastinating or fear of failure – because by now, you’ll have realized body, heart and soul that every mistep is a beautiful gift that makes you stronger, wiser and an even better version of you.
So you can not only stop stressing about work, but grow into your next roll, charge your worth, and make a bigger impact in the world.
ANXIOUS MAMA OF FOUR, ELISHA “After reading one of Sandy’s articles, it completely struck a cord with me. It was like reading my own story. I was living in people’s heads. Worrying constantly. I needed to stop.
She armed me with the tools to work on myself; to recognize my thought process and know when to stop the spiral I found myself in. I have noticed a significant improvement in the way I handle things that once would have bothered me and had me living in other people’s heads. Her techniques work!”

“One of my favorite things about Sandy is her ability to get down to the root of the issue and provide practical and easy-to-use tools that you can immediately apply to your situation.”
ANXIOUS EXERCISE PHYSIOLOGIST, ALLY: “I worked with Sandy to help with my anxiety and stress. She helped me to shift my story. Her approach is unique and is very understanding having done this work for herself. She’s very generous and wants you to succeed. She gave me several good exercises to relax the mind and body as well as process emotions and gave me the space to be vulnerable.”
If you have struggled with stress and anxiety and haven't been able to get relief on your own, I highly recommend the Graceful Resilience program.
I was experiencing a lot of anxiety and started having panic attacks. I wanted to learn how to cope with my stressors and move on with confidence and resilience.
Since taking the program, I don't feel as anxious or stressed anymore, and if I do, I can more easily work through it and realize that it isn't as bad as I think. I definitely have grown and learned how to reframe my thoughts. Most of my anxiety is the "second arrow" that is described in the course -- my reaction to the situation, rather than the situation itself.
I have learned skills for reframing and redirecting my intrusive thoughts, as well as for acknowledging and accepting things I can't change. I have learned how to relax more and just "be."
Sandy is experienced and knowledgeable, and she can get to the root of your sources of stress and anxiety and help you see them in a different light, as things that can be managed or at least accepted. The tools she teaches are useful for many different situations, even just regular life stuff that we all experience.
I just wanted to thank you again for this program and all the help you provided. This past week was particularly stressful and overwhelming, and I used some of the tools to get me through it with less anxiety than usual. I have more "growthwork" to do, but I am definitely seeing improvement. Thank you!
I needed help with not reacting so much to my triggers. I was considering going back to weekly therapy but decided to give Sandy's course a try first. Previously, the slightest tap on my triggers would have sent me over the edge. After taking the program, I'm now practicing more self-compassion, especially when it comes to rest. At work, I'm not procrastinating nearly as much because I see it as a stress-avoidance technique and can manage it now. In everyday life, I'm less reactive. Overall, I feel more calm, cool, and collected. Sandy is very relatable. Her stories and explanations helped me connect my actions with the problems and solutions. The combination of videos, growth work, and the group calls helped me understand the stress and reactions in my life and apply the healthier strategies. I'm thankful to Sandy for helping me feel better. It is possible to tone down the noise in your head and make life easier.
I first discovered Sandy after reading a couple of her submissions on Tiny Buddha. As I read her words, I thought to myself, “I could have written that!” and that motivated me to sign up for individual coaching sessions with her. That same familiarity translated to our work together. Sandy is always compassionate, empathetic, funny, cool, relatable, down-to-Earth, and insightful. At the time, my self-confidence was low after some major life changes and I was not being very kind to myself. I knew I could use some support and Sandy was the perfect person to help me stop beating myself up. One of my favorite things about Sandy is her ability to get down to the root of the issue and provide practical and easy-to-use tools that you can immediately apply to your situation. She is always open about her own experiences, which makes you feel connected and comfortable sharing your stories. I love her unique analogies that always help to further drive home the point. Sandy is skilled at helping to change your patterns of self-judgment and negative thinking by showing you how to reframe your thoughts in a nonjudgmental and objective way. She helped me build my confidence, identify and appreciate my core values, and recognize my own self-worth. I cannot recommend Sandy highly enough. She changed the way I view myself and I’m confident she would do the same for you, too!
I came to Sandy feeling depressed, anxious, and worrying about how other people in my life view me. She was very attentive and intuitive at asking the questions I needed to answer to help move forward. She allows her client the space and opportunity to explore their thought process. One of the cornerstones of her work is meditation and the impact of communication - with ourselves and others - on our experiences. I feel I now have tools and new ways of thinking about myself. I like that she didn't rush, was thoughtful in her approach, and I felt she grasped my family dynamic quite well. I didn't feel judged and needed the safe space to talk and arrive at solutions that made sense for me. When you work with Sandy you will have a meaningful experience and you'll get out what you put in. Practice the meditations, take a chance at finding a new perspective, own what is triggered in you and the story you tell yourself. Take notes because this is an opportunity to learn about yourself and grow with another person who gives you their undivided attention.
MEET YOUR COACH
Hi, I’m Sandy
Mama. Wifey. Doggo snuggler. Coffee lover. Recovered anxiety-riddled stress-aholic.
Having been fed up of a lifetime of anxiety, I found resilience training work several years ago after I’d tried different forms of therapy, medication (and self medication) without getting the results I wanted.
I soon started combining the work with mindfulness and meditation, which accelerated my progress and changed my life completely. From a state of anxiety, ADHD, self bullying and panic attacks to joy, peace and excitement about life, and a newfound ability to quickly bounce back when life gets challenging.
Trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness and meditation, and as a certified health and life coach and yoga teacher, I’ve spent the last several years coaching women and teaching workshops both live and online.
I’m looking forward to guiding you along your journey out of stress and anxiety and into graceful resilience!
Have more questions?
What does Graceful Resilience mean?
>> It means knowing that with life comes stress and challenges, but you are resilient enough to face adversity because you have the tools to work through it.
>> It means even if you hear that inner voice bullying you, cutting you down, and telling you that you’re no good, you are able to challenge and change those limiting beliefs with your head held high.
>> It means not hiding from stress, anxiety, or any negative emotion by numbing it, or stuffing it down, but having the strength to allow discomfort to be present in order to move it through you more quickly and gracefully.
>> It means you don’t have to be a b*tch, or a hard @ss to get what you want and need, that you can compassionately communicate (even with yourself) and set boundaries.
Will this be woo-woo, spiritual, hippie stuff?
The lessons in this program are all science-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness and meditation, self compassion, and neuroplasticity.
If spirituality is part of your life and your practice, this course certainly will help expand on that by way of bringing you more in touch with your true self. However, there is no spirituality mentioned in this course.
I see there is some meditation in this course. I tried meditation but didn't get much out of it, will this be different?
Yes, there are meditations included throughout this course as ways to 1) reinforce the lessons in each module and 2) because meditation is really mind training – it’s like going to the gym for your brain. And in this course, we’re building new muscles, i.e. ways of thinking.
If you tried meditation in the past but it didn’t work for you, that most likely means that you didn’t have one or a mix of the following things in place: an honest expectation on what to experience when trying meditation; a clear intent on what you wanted out of it and the knowledge to get there; a roadmap on what you needed to practice when in the process, a plan to set up a regular practice that will give you the changes you want over time, a successful way of turning obstacles and resistance into opportunities for practice and growth.
New neural pathways are created with repetition. If your first meditation experiences were connected with a feeling of boredom, restlessness, or overwhelm, then it’s not likely you’ll sit down again. More likely, limiting beliefs have come up with reasons NOT to try again to protect you from uncomfortable emotions – with the effect that you probably won’t take on overcoming those initial reactions.
Good news: you’re in the right place. I won’t let you miss out on the benefits from meditation from a programmed belief – and neither should you. This course isn’t just a meditation workshop. It’s the roadmap to a successful meditation practice that teaches you what to practice when and build skills over time. You also learn to identify limiting beliefs that show up and what to do with them, so they don’t stop you.
How much time will this take?
The course is 10 modules delivered each week over 12 weeks. Each module takes 30-60 minutes to complete and includes growth-work exercises to complete during the week which could take up to an hour, but in most cases much less. The real work happens in between the sessions as you practice the lessons learned. This could be anywhere from a few minutes a day to as much time as you would like to invest. The honest truth is, the more you put in, the more you get out, but this does not have to be a huge time investment for you. The goal of the course is to create within you new mindsets and habits to become the norm for your everyday life.
What if I miss a week because #life? Do I have to complete it in 9 weeks?
You can watch each module at your own pace. You can take a week off, go back, do the whole course, and repeat later. You’ll have continued access to this course, as well as any new materials added in the future, so you can go at your own pace.
What if I have questions?
Each week a module is released, I will be holding group coaching office hours where you can join to ask questions or share your experiences. If you have any technical difficulties or have support questions along the way, you can email sandy@stressandanxietycoach.com and we’ll get you sorted out!
What if I try it and feel this course isn’t for me, do you offer refunds?
In the first section of Modules 1-3, you’ll already know how to relax your nervous system and feel you have much more awareness of your attention and stress triggers. If you realize at this point that you’re NOT getting the results you’re hoping for, then email me within 21 days of course start, and you’ll get a refund, less the processing fee. (I will only keep what will cover the processing for your credit card payment.)
