Hey Sis, is this you?
Discover how our Head-Heart-Action Course + Energetic container will guide you step-by-step to heart-Aligned action, transforming your wellness in just 12 weeks.
Program Facilitator: Kim Small, LCSW, QS, CCTP
I want to share with you my why for this program.
Over the past several years I have helped 100's of Black women and Women of Color overcome trauma, overwhelm, and isolation through therapy and wellness services. I realized that many of the women I worked with shared 3 common struggles:
Confusion & "Stuckness": Knowing WHAT to do but not HOW to do it. Feeling stuck in their head when it comes to topics like processing emotions, setting boundaries, establishing healthy routines, or making a needed career shift.
Spiraling Guilt & Shame: Feeling guilty for not being able to be "everything to everybody", then feeling guilty about feeling guilty in the first place!
Loneliness: Feeling misunderstood and invalidated by the people you love the most, navigating the complexity of a healing journey alone and having no idea where to start with finding new friends in your 30's and 40's.
Can you relate to any of these challenges?
Like many Women, you may feel confusion, “stuckness”, and spiraling guilt and shame. You're not alone. Head - Heart- Action was designed to address these exact challenges and propel you towards Heart-Aligned Action.
If you are dreaming of a safe space to learn, heal and grow with community of like-minded women who can encourage and affirm (rather than criticize and ignore)...
Then this is the space for you.
This is an invitation to put down your armor, stop ignoring your pain, and finally... follow the sound of the small voicing calling you to do things a more heart-centered way.
3 pillars to success

Several years ago, I was working in community mental health,
Overworked and underpaid,
Overwhelmed and out of alignment, personally and professionally.
Disappointed and frustrated with loved ones who continued to load expectation on.
From the outside looking in,
I was considered thriving
but, inside I was drowning.
On paper, I looked good
But, in reality, I was falling apart.
During one such Winter season, I began to hear a still small voice asking me a question....
The same question I ask to you...
The Question that Changed Everything
What I didn't know then but I realize now is that this voice was calling me to something deeper: My soul's work.
It was also providing me with the framework to actually get there. A framework that prior to this, had evaded me my whole life... even in my early years as a therapist!
and so...
I courageously answered the call, made the commitment and said YES to me!
My life transformed.
Just a few of the many amazing things that occurred that year:
I left that position and then eventually that job
I became a Mental Health Expert on the Radio and paid Key note Speaker
I started the private practice to connect with clients that I love and that love me!
I got engaged to my partner of several years
I developed a Holistic Mental Health Practice
I was able to reclaim my unique relationship with Spirit, not defined by expectation societal or religious institutions
I connected with mentors who have propelled me professionally, emotionally, and spiritually in ways I had never imagined.
I learned to say NO...guilt free!
I learned to say YES to community, love, and support from a place of authenticity.
and soooo much more.
This Program is Heart Work
Today, my Team and I help hundreds of Professionals and their families every year break cycles of anxiety, trauma and overwhelm so they can experience the peace that they dream of and deserve.
Curating this program is truly a full circle moment as I share the key insights, practices, and supports that enabled me to break cycles of overwhelm and orient toward making cycles of resiliency, healing, and growth.
And now I look to you...
Is there a dream you've been wanting to achieve?
Is your mental wellness a primary block in helping you achieve it?
Are you ready to take off the mask, stop suffering in silence and learn how to live, love, and heal ... out loud?
So you may be curious about this program, but you're not sure if this investment is right for you in this season. Take a look at the information below to help you get more clarity.

Surface level coping skills
To be told exactly what to do
An "On-your-own" learning experience
Your PRIMARY goal to be directly addressing specific traumas in your life, Suicidal thoughts/plans, or a specific mental health diagnosis*
This program is also NOT a good fit for you are NOT willing to:

This is, BY FAR, the most cost effective way to have this much access to working with me this year.

Working with Kim has truly changed my life. I always felt guilty trying to put me and my wellness first. This program help me realized how I can balance being a kind person while not sacrificing myself in the process. I also really liked that I could have the group support but also schedule a 1:1 if I needed to process something more deeply.
Previous Participant
What I loved most about this experience was honestly getting to know all the layers of me on a deeper level. Learning how to work with, rather than against my nervous system, was a major unlock and I like how Kim makes it easy to understand. Also, People always say, "feel your feelings" but this program actually taught me HOW to do that.
If you have a chance to be a part of this... DO IT!!!
Previous Participant
It's the group support for me!!!!
I love my friends and family but they don't always understand what I'm going through. They can't help but to see me as superwoman, even when I ask for help. I'm a huge advocate for therapy but this experience hit different because, I had the space to share what was going on for me and have a group of women really understand me, and not try to brush me off. I love that we can share ideas and hold each other accountable for implementing what we were learning or whatever goal we are working on.

You’ve got questions. We’ve got answers!
The primary differences are related to focus and flexibility. Therapy is primarily focused on processing experiences from the past, whereas a Coaching focuses on specific future goals. The benefit of receiving coaching from a licensed therapist is that much of the support feels therapeutic in nature. The benefit of a coaching model offers more flexibility around confidentiality, what the facilitator can share with participants and how participants can interact with each other between meetings. A Coaching model allows for more flexibility with pricing, including options to finance the program. If issues arise where therapy would be more appropriate, we will support you with connecting with a therapist in addition to this program.

From My Full Circle Moment to Yours
