THE POSITIVITY
PROJECT
Your life is good... but you want to FLOURISH.
Daily Goals...
-
Find 3 positives for every 1 negative.
-
With love, kindness, and compassion, I will face my challenges.
-
When I feel despair and fear, I will remember my gratitudes and reframe my perceptions.
Let me ask you a few questions...
Do you have a great life but you feel empty more than you'd like?
Are you ready to stop settling for "meh"?
You're not feeling an overwhelming sense of satisfaction on a daily basis.
Do you find yourself criticizing what you haven't accomplished instead of taking the time to congratulate all the little wins you achieve throughout the day?
Positivity is a skill that need to be honed and practiced on a daily basis.
Let me guess...
You've researched so many self help books and yet you're in the same mental space as when you started 'researching' how to feel better.
You listen to podcasts on a regular basis. In fact, you might be questioning if binge listening is a habit you've taken too far.
You feel like you're on the right track by learning and listening to all the tools offered in books and podcasts, however the needle of change is still stuck at the start line.
...you're simply anxious to get to your 'finish' line so you can reap the benefits of the flourishing lifestyle you so crave.
Well, that was me, too...
I was a professional consumer of self help...
... it's no wonder... the science proves that learning gives us a large dopamine release in our brains. When something feels good we seek to find more and more (pleasure principle).
...I'd make a few adjustments for a little while but I never stuck to my plan.
I'd get frustrated and go back to the way I usually did things and settled for 'meh' and living a life without the deep feelings of satisfaction and contentment.
I realized I needed to stop consuming and start taking action... But HOW??
I learned that our brains are a muscle that needs a daily workout with purposeful and deliberate action.
We're simply not taught how to do this.
I found science that backed up how to implement my good intentions to teach me how to flourish and thrive.
I found a roadmap and a coach to teach me.
How much time do you spend thinking about your mental fitness?
You probably spend a lot of time thinking about what you're going to eat (or not eat), how you'll fit in your workout and how to manage your time efficiently...
How much time to invest in your mental well-being so you experience life ultimate goal of living a life where you ARE flourishing (not just living a life going through the motions)?
Our brain's are built for change and growth.
Our brain's know how to adapt.
When you slowly and steadily on a daily basis stop certain behaviors the neurons in your brain change and begin to adapt to new behaviors and drop behaviors and beliefs systems that no longer work for us.
I'm beyond excited to teach you how to change your brain's neural pathways by using Positive Psychology Life Coaching.
What is Positive Psychology Coaching?
Positive psychology coaching (PPC) is a scientifically rooted approach to helping clients increase wellbeing, enhance and apply strengths, improve performance, and achieve valued goals. At the core of PPC is a belief in the power of science to elucidate the best [methods for development].

How Does Science Back Up Positive Psychology Life Coaching?
Positivity Applied
Ongoing research in positive psychology has identified a number of scientifically supported benefits of positive emotions. We know today that positive emotions broaden people’s awareness beyond the narrow confines of negativity and this increased openness can help set people on positive trajectories of growth toward emotional stability, a greater level of personal resources, and increased social integration and emotional stability (Donaldson, 2011).
Positive emotions have also been found to fuel resilience in the face of adversity and can help support a foundation for a greater ability to resist downward spirals.
Research in the science of emotions also reveals that people have far more control over what emotions they experience through their daily intake of positive emotions and keeping the negative ones in check. The tipping point positivity ratio of 3:1, when used as an emotional guideline that separates languishing from flourishing, can create pathways to improve both the individual and the society (Donaldson, 2011).
According to Seligman, Steen, Park, and Peterson, a major shift in mental health practice and research occurred with the birth of positive psychology, and today it unites the theory and knowledge on positive functioning and advances the much-needed work on positive mental health (2005).
Psychological well-being is no longer understood as only the absence of mental illness, but also conceptualized as the simultaneous presence of positive psychological resources, such as positive affect and satisfaction with one’s life (Diener, 1984); self-acceptance, personal growth, and purpose (Ryff, 1989); and autonomy, competence, and relatedness (Ryan & Deci, 2001).
Health and wellbeing can be enhanced, according to Shelley Taylor, through the cultivation of psychosocial resources of:
-
optimism,
-
social support,
-
sense of mastery,
-
self-esteem, and
-
active coping skills (Donaldson, 2011).
Application of positive psychology coaching in the context of health has also been well researched in case of treating depression. Nancy Sin, Matthew Della Porta, and Sonja Lyubomirsky demonstrate that positive psychology interventions have been successful not only in enhancing well-being but also in reducing depressive symptoms (Donaldson, 2011).
Imagine...
... what you're going to feel like once you've cut back on your drinking, figured out that you have the absolute power at this very moment to manage your mind, and are not living your life at the whim of your urge to drink more than you want to.
... what you'll feel like when you end your day without a drink to "take the edge off" and become more productive and have energy to get more accomplished after dinner instead of mindlessly binge watching Netflix.
... the improvement in the relationship you have with not only yourself but your loved ones and friends. Confidence that you honor your commitment and goals you set for yourself.
... starting that hobby you've been meaning to start but you just keep putting it off because drinking has become the hub of your fun and entertainment in your life.
... waking up (early) and feeling fresh and motivated to go for that walk or yoga class instead of regretting how much you drank the night before or racking your brain to make sure you didn't do or say something you regret.

Are You Ready to Get Started?
RESULTS YOU CAN EXPECT:
POSITIVITY
You are not powerless. That's the wonderful news that will carry you through this journey. Living in regret and shame is what's keeping your stuck. Curiosity and positivity will heal you.
BALANCE
Alcohol is neither good or bad. It just is a liquid in a glass. When you learn how to neutralize this substance it will lose its power over you.
FREEDOM
When your desire dissipates you will lose that drinking thinking chatter that is cluttering up your mind and keeping you from living a fuller life. There is freedom in knowing you are the one making the decisions, because drinking doesn't just happen, it just seems like it does.
ABUNDANCE
When the drinking thinking ends you will have the mental space to move on to your goals that you keep putting on the back burner.

Frequently Asked Questions
>When does the Bootcamp start?
As soon as you sign up on the private membership website. You will have access to all the bootcamp materials immediately.
>How long will I have access to the program?
One year.
>How long are the 1:1 coaching calls?
45 minutes.
>Can I really change?
Yes, you can. As long as you're doing the work on a daily basis. However, once the year is over you must continue to work on the skills you're taught. It's like going to the gym, you can't expect your muscles to maintain if you don't keep working them out. Your mind is a muscle as well that needs daily exercise.
>What if I drink during the Bootcamp?
If that does happen you will have positive tools to get you back on track. If you do drink it will be treated as a learning process.
>I want to lose weight and quit drinking will the skills work for both?
Good news, yes the tools work for both.
>Do you offer discounts?
No. Taking a break from alcohol alone will pay for the Bootcamp 😊.
>What is your refund policy?
I do not have a refund policy. When you invest financially in yourself you tend to take it more seriously and go all in. That is my goal for you so you will have complete success.
>Can I use insurance to pay for this?
It's best for you to check with your insurance provider. You will receive a receipt for your payment. You can submit that to your provider.
>My husband/partner still drinks. This is going to be near impossible if he's still drinking.
This is the #1 concern for most women. Right now the idea of your husband/partner drinking seems like a sure way for you to not be successful. Your husbands drinking has nothing to do with why you drink. You'll learn that his habits (and everyone else's habits around you) aren't why you drink. In the Bootcamp you'll uncover why you believe this and how to change your mind. The belief you hold, "It's too hard to quit if my husband still drinks" is part of what is holding you back.
>I don't have support from anyone.
This is your journey. You're going to learn how to find support from within. I will show you and teach you how. It will blow your mind!
>I don't feel confident in myself. I've never been able to stick to cutting back or quitting.
Perhaps you've been relying on willpower and "white knuckling". That type of approach is exhausting to say the least. It's no wonder it's hard to stick to something that is running on an empty tank. You'll learn the new way to cut back on alcohol is to manage your mind. I'll show you how!
>I don't have enough time.
Let me give it to you straight... if you had/have enough time to drink and manage the aftermath of drinking, you DO have time to do this program. You can't afford to not make the time!
>I'm thinking of signing up, but honestly I'm scared I won't be successful.
Change can create fear. You can keep giving into fear and the habit of drinking more than you want to, or you can move through the fear and nervousness and teach your brain that fear is not a in charge. You're doing things correct if you have some fear.
>I'm not sure if now is a good time.
I hate to break it to you, but a good time is just not going to come. Alcohol is not going anywhere and you need to learn how to manage your mind around it when life is happening and real world problems are happening. If you can only succeed when your calendar is empty, that's not a success.
>I really need a drink to fall asleep. I'm terrified cutting back will effect my sleep.
Countless studies show how alcohol is a sleep interrupter. It's time for you to re-learn good sleep hygiene. Bottom line, you can't do that when you are over drinking. I'll show you great strategies to deal with insomnia so that it doesn't wreak havoc in your life.
IN HER VOICE: TESTIMONIALS
AMY
I spent way too many years shaming and blaming myself. I truly thought something had gone terribly wrong that I couldn't fix. Stephanie's way of explaining things always made such logical sense. I can't believe I'm able to go to something social and not over do it. I have my off button back.
DEBRA
I couldn't figure out a way to not come home and pour myself a drink on a regular basis. I truly thought that having a drink was the only way to unwind. I could see myself getting addicted and I was scared. I was certain that if I kept drinking I would become very unhealthy. I just couldn't do it on my own. I thought I tried everything and nothing was working. I'm so glad I invested in working with Stephanie. She really got me and pulled out of my old patterns. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
SANDY
My Life has changed! Yes, this was the hardest work I've ever done in my life, but I wouldn't change it for anything else. Now that I 've stopped drinking, I'm spending more time with my husband because I'm not passing out in front of the T.V. every night
YOUR JOURNEY TO
Living Your Best Life With Less Alcohol Begins NOW
HOW MUCH IS OVER DRINKING ALCOHOL COSTING YOU?
5-7 Bottles of wine/week = $150
20-30 Bottles of wine/month = $700
$8,400+ /year
(not including vacations, buying your friends a round, or drinks at a social situation)
WHY NOW IS THE BEST TIME TO CUT BACK
How long have you been having that little angel on one shoulder and the little devil on the other arguing with each other... exhausting you until you finally give in and find the perfect justification to "start tomorrow"?
How long have you been saying you're going to get back to your weekly exercise routine but keep finding yourself waking up with no motivation to workout or make long term healthy food choices?
How long have you been saying "enough is enough"?
If not now, when?
Deep down you know that too many personal goals are on hold until you make this change... this permanent change.
What is it costing you? Is it costing you the most important relationship in your life, YOU? Relationships with loved ones?
Your primal brain is going to keep convincing you to take the easy road which is to stay in status quo (which you know is not working).
It's time to override that part of your brain that is on auto pilot.
It's time to do the work and look back on this decision as one of the best decisions you've ever made.
It's time to be the woman who never gives in, never caves in to the temptation or goes back on her word - no matter how tempting the situation.
Hi! I'm Stephanie
I'm obsessed with helping women live their best life with less alcohol!
I used to think I needed a glass of wine to relax and unwind. My habit started out small with one glass of wine every now and then, but then slowly turned into a bottle of wine a night and a weekend binge more often than I'd like to admit.
I was fed up with hangovers, the weight gain, poor sleep, the shame of remembering the cringey things I said the night before, and the mental energy I was putting into drinking or cleaning up the mess of drinking (guilt, shame, forgotten conversations, regret for something I said or did, forgetting bedtime routines and good night kisses).
I was just plain ol' tired of thinking about drinking and I truly thought I'd never would be able to control my drinking.
I knew that the only way for me to make a change was to start from a positive perspective and not one that made me proclaim that had a disease or that I was powerless.
The tools I learned rewired my brain, and that changed everything.
What I learned and practice now on a daily basis is what I teach you.
I'm excited to see what you create in your life with this program.
“Success is not final; failure is not fatal:
It is the courage to continue that counts.”
