Are you facing a life without children and don’t know how to even begin making peace with your situation?
Life Without Baby
“Finding Peace”
Mentorship Program
Maybe you know in your heart that children are no longer in your future, but how do you walk away from the dream of motherhood and find peace with a childfree life?
Maybe you’re dealing with infertility and you’re out of viable options or options you’re willing to pursue. Or perhaps your window of opportunity for motherhood is closing in front of you and you feel hopelessly lost and alone. Maybe you feel as if your real life is passing you by on your quest for a life that seems elusive.
You don’t have to go through this alone
I can help. I understand how lonely, confusing, and isolating it can be to face a life without children when motherhood has always been in your plans. I know how difficult it can be to walk away from a key chapter in your life, and I’m familiar with the tangle of emotions that can creep up on you when you contemplate taking a different path in life. I know because I’ve been there, and I’ve come out the other side not just surviving, but thriving in a life I had never planned for myself.
It is possible to find peace in this new life, especially if you have support, a safe community, and some tools to work through the many complicated issues.
If you’re ready to move into a new chapter of your life, but don’t know how to even begin, the “Finding Peace” Mentorship Program provides the help and support you need to find acceptance and peace with a childfree life.
I hope you’ll join me.
Warmest wishes,
Lisa
Connect with others in a safe environment
This program can help if you’re:
- Sick of the endless rounds of doctors and the ever-increasing pile of bills
- Out of stamina to keep trying to build a family
- Feeling as if your real life is passing you by as you strive for a life you’ve always imagined
- Feeling lost and alone with no idea where to turn
“I am much more at peace with my Life Without Baby after the program. I appreciated your empathetic, knowledgeable facilitation of the calls and on-line sessions. It makes a big difference talking to someone who is, or who has been, there!”
~Chris P., Ontario, Canada
Here’s what you can expect from this 8-week program:
- A safe place to work through your emotions
- A supportive community of women who “get you”
- Personal attention and the chance to talk about the issues few people understand
- Tools and advice to help you deal with unexpected triggers and difficult situations
Through a series of online video workshop sessions, you’ll receive information and real-world tools, plus guidance and exercises to help you work through each step at a pace that suits you. You’ll have the option to join four workshop sessions live and connect with other members, or watch the recordings in your own time. Downloadable written materials and exercises will also be provided.
In the four workshop sessions, you will:
- Learn the importance of drawing a line in the sand (even if you move it later)
- Acknowledge your loss and learn techniques to deal with grief
- Create ways to work through, not avoid, emotions
- Gain tools to deal with issues of family, friends, coworkers, and even strangers
- Investigate a new path for your life
Workshops are spaced to allow time to absorb information, integrate techniques, and work through the exercises.
Join group coaching calls for additional support
In these four group calls, you will:
- Have a safe environment to talk through problem areas
- Gain support and encouragement from your circle of peers
- Feel empowered to find your voice
- Have a forum for discussing issues as they arise
Get Personal Attention with 1:1 program upgrade
If you feel you need additional support and a more personal relationship, opt for the One-to-One Program and benefit from four 30-minute private calls with me.
These calls can be scheduled as needed throughout the program.
Please note that only five 1:1 spots are available.
Feel heard and understood
The mentorship program has been a unique way of getting in touch with other woman affected by infertility.
The support group is a safe place where you can talk openly, freely and without being judged. It’s a small community where you feel heard and understood by people who deal with similar issues.
Joining the program also helped me move forward in my grieving process and allowed me to set new goals for myself.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. I’m not sure this program is for me. How can I be certain?
Good question. This is not a program for everyone. This is a program for:
- women who have reached a point in their lives where they realize they aren’t going to have children and need to come-to-terms with that idea
- women who have dealt with infertility and have run out of the physical, emotional, or financial stamina to continue treatments
- women who are struggling to acknowledge that they won’t have children and need help to move forward
2. How does the program work?
In each workshop session we’ll tackle a new topic. The course material is be presented via live video so you’ll have the chance to ask questions as they come up and discuss points with one another. There’ll be course materials for you to download, too, so you can make notes as you go.
In between workshop sessions, we’ll have a group call where you can ask questions and discuss issues. You can also stay in touch and get extra support through the online forum on a daily basis
In addition, if you opt for the One-to-One Program, you’ll have four private calls with me to help you work through any sticking points.

The program is designed to work whether you can attend live or not. Workshop videos and recordings will be available right away. You’ll still get to participate fully in the program and can always ask your questions or participate in discussions via the online forum.
4. What do I need to participate?
- You’ll need a computer and reliable internet service, and have the ability to watch online video. You’ll also need access to a phone line or Skype, if you want to join the group calls live.
- It’s also a good idea to get a journal and a happy pen, so you can keep track of how you’re feeling. We’ll talk more about this before the program begins.
5. What if I feel I need more one-on-time?
The program offers one video session and group call every month, plus the One-to-One program also includes four 30-minute one-on-one sessions that you can schedule as you need them. If you still feel you could use more personal attention, you will be able to purchase additional sessions.
