Discover a new way to make change…
BEFRIEND
YOUR
BODY
A 12-week trauma-informed program for women changemakers to clear your obstacles to thriving & learn to connect to your body, so you can make the impact you want to make on the world.
Become the Remedy
You do what you do because you care so much... you’re here to make the world a better place, to make conscious change, to make a difference…
But to do the work you're here to do, and do it for a long time, you've got to have more than brilliance, integrity, leadership skills and a can-do attitude.
You need to have resilience of the nervous system, embodied leadership, and a holistic capacity to lead which goes far beyond the intellect.
You need to be well, with self-care and well-being on board, and with rhythms and rituals that support you in deep self-awareness, unapologetic boundaries, a body that you’re in partnership with, and intuition that you trust.
So you can make change, help heal the world, and lead, authentically and effectively, and from well.
(oh, yes - and also so that you can enJOY your life a little more!)
Dear Changemaker,
I see you. I’ve been where you are.
You care deeply about the world, your mission, and making an impact to improve life on our planet.
You’ve been working so hard, for so long, and the old ways aren’t working for you anymore.
Whether it’s anxiety and fluctuating moods, brain fog, or health issues, your body is talking to you.
You might feel blocked in using your voice to bring your vision to life. Or that it’s time to step into the next level of leadership, but imposter syndrome is holding you back.
You know you need something to shift. That what you need is NOT to focus on change “out there”, but instead to go deeper inside of yourself to make change. That's the only way to level up your leadership.
As a high integrity, soul-led leader, you know that in order to lead well, you need to have more capacity to support your teams and projects – but right now it’s hard to support yourself.
You know there’s a better way to lead, live, work and inspire.
The world, the teams, your work, your loved ones are asking you to hold bigger and better space and navigate the present day challenges in more capable ways.
You’re probably pretty clear by now that the old ways don’t work. For you, for your teams, for your constituents, and for your loved ones.
I want you to know, it’s not your fault. It’s not that something’s wrong with you.
The way that most of us have been taught to work and make change is to give selflessly, engage your inner martyr, sacrifice whatever’s needed for the cause, including well-being for your body, mind and heart.
what if I told you it doesn’t have to be this way?
These are not regenerative ways of working and living that support your well-being, and the well-being of your teams, constituents, and loved ones.
When you learn how to partner with your body and clear the old ways, you can lead and make change from well. You can lead your team, organization, or movement – and you’re poised to make greater change in the world… while also creating a ripple effect in your own well-being!
welcome to:
BEFRIEND YOUR
BODY
In this virtual, trauma-informed, small group program, you’ll learn how to clear what’s in the way of you feeling well, calm and resilient; to connect with your own nervous system, body, and all that supports you; and create new ways of living, working and being, so that you can make change and help the world be well, while being well yourself.
Conscious changemaking is essential. To keep going, to keep saying “yes” to continuing on, you’ve got to find ways to do that sustainably.
You’ve got to be well to help the world be well.
Through this program, you’ll have begun - or deepened - the path to more resilient and embodied leadership. And you’ll have a toolkit to help support you along the way.
Befriending your body and being a resilient, embodied leader allows you to:
- Break the patterns of overwork, overwhelm, and overgiving that leave you depleted and exhausted.
- Find steady in your mood and emotions, and know which tools help you return to calm if you’re feeling anxious, low, or panicky.
- Feel a return of energy, life force, creativity, confidence and hope, so you can use your precious life-force for what’s really needed in your changemaking.
- Identify your own blocks to being well so you know what needs to clear to step forward.
- Lead with confidence, clarity, possibility, openness and creativity.
- Truly partner with your body in health, healing, leadership and changemaking.
- Be a passionate and purposeful changemaker who has confidence, knows how to find creative solutions, and leads from well.
The good news is...
befriending your body helps you access what’s already inside of you. You don’t have to seek outside of you to find the answers, or “the fix”. You’re actually doing this so you can more easily access what’s already there for you.
And once you learn these tools and teachings, you’ll have a toolkit to use at your disposal, at any time.
"Before working with Kelly, I was on the cusp of a much-desired promotion into a large new role at the state system level. I struggled with wanting to feel ready, capable, and enough in all ways, not like I was faking it. I’d spent so long believing that I was not enough of anything. Now, I’m so enjoying this feeling of comfort in my own skin! I’m leading in my new position, living into the version of myself that is a disrupter, and embracing my transformational leadership style.

Curious what you’ll receive in our virtual 12-week program together?
module 1
Mindset Matters:
This IS changemaking
How supporting your nervous system, body, mind and heart help you move out of overwhelm & get off the path to burnout, so you can make the change you’re here to make.
When you don’t recognize and aren’t connected to the idea that self-care and healing ARE the work, you think and act as if changemaking is all about the effort, the mental work, and the long hours. This can become a pathway to overwhelm, overwork and burnout, and can hold you back from having connected relationships and advancing in your career. It’s easy to get stuck in your head and abandon your body.
Through this module, you’ll learn:
- where the roots of “not enough” come from and to release that perspective as you understand that you are worthy of care, attention, and well-being, just as those you serve, lead and caretake are
- to understand that “I matter,” and “I am enough” approaches can shift your work, relationships, longevity in health and in changemaking
- to get to know the parts of you that resist taking care of you, and learn to partner with them instead of being bullied by them
- how self-neglect can show up and why, and to overcome this tendency within yourself
- to resource from this place, so you can return to your passion, purpose and commitment to the journey
module 2
Release the Freeze
understanding how to navigate your nervous system in order to avoid anxiety, low mood and inability to focus.
When you keep pushing through, putting on your professional face, shoving down the symptoms, and ignoring the signs of the body, you lodge old patterns deep into the nervous system, where it’s hard to change them with mindset. This can result in having a constant feeling of “fight or flight” or “freeze”, where your mind can’t switch off, sleep gets difficult, and you’re overreacting to many things. Or, alternatively, you can’t get out of bed or off the couch and get the things done. It’s like one part of your nervous system gets the “on” switch stuck and doesn’t know how to turn off. The symptoms can look like anxiety, low or fluctuating mood, reactivity, panicky feelings, brain fog, and an inability to focus.
Through this module, you’ll learn:
- some of the basic science of your nervous system
- to recognize nervous system responses and how they can support you and also derail you
- to work with your nervous system responses to stressors
- how to expand the capacity of your nervous system so you can become more resilient, more regulated, and able to connect in instead of tune out
- how to safely release “freeze” and to get the switch “unstuck”
- how to work in partnership with your body to heal and grow your resilience,
- so you can meet the challenges of work, life, parenting, and engaging in community and the world
module 3
Settle your System
with Stability
connecting in with what’s stable and predictable to grow your capacity to connect, lead and make change.
When you’re constantly in go-go-go mode, and you’re struggling to find steady, your brain and nervous system struggle to make wise decisions, and you might find it hard to be present with colleagues, teams and loves ones. Making connections in good-feeling ways can be challenging. This might result in feeling untethered, anxious, and struggling to center. It’s hard to lead and make change from that place. It’s even harder when the world feels less than predictable, when there is a crisis around every corner, and the demands of these intense and divisive times overwhelm.
Through this module, you’ll learn:
- the concept of nervous system capacity and the two ways you can expand it
- the importance of stability and predictability for the nervous system
- how to “borrow” stability and predictability from outside of yourself
- how to create stability and predictability within yourself in order to have greater mental clarity, ease in making decisions, and a calm system that doesn’t feel in emergency mode inside, even if you’re dealing with emergencies outside
- how this supports your capacity for change and ripples out to others
module 4
Shift the Score:
Moving your Body from Enemy to Partner
understanding how your body has been keeping the score of your lived experience, and how to begin to connect with your body as partner and messenger to improve your physical and mental health,
When your body is asking for your attention with physical and emotional symptoms, everything from physical pain to digestive issues to anxiety, it can feel like it’s derailing you and sabotaging your efforts at every turn. You may feel like you’ve got a vision for what you want to create in the world, how you want to contribute and the change you want to see, but your physical and mental health keep limiting you, keeping you from being able to show up and lead in the ways you know you can. You might even begin to feel like your body’s the enemy. Alternatively, it may be that you’re simply concerned about less severe symptoms that are wearing you down and you’re wondering if you need to tend to them.
Through this module, you’ll learn:
- be guided into understanding how your body’s been keeping the score, and how the science backs this up
- how those pesky symptoms that can feel like sabotage are often your body saying “no” when you’ve not been able to
- open up to the idea that your body isn’t the enemy, but rather the messenger
- learn that your body can be your partner, in everything from how to improve your health and well-being, to making aligned decisions, to leading well
- learn techniques to relate to and work with your body as partner
- understand that you’re not broken, no matter what is happening physically and emotionally
- experience the possibility, starting simple, of “shifting the score” by deeply attuning, listening to (not ignoring), and working with your body signals
- understand how this work of befriending your body allows you to create greater capacity for health, well being, and leadership
module 5
Rewrite Your Rhythms and Rituals
how growing your regular rhythms and rituals can move you toward sustained wellness, health, joy and connectedness, so you can make the change you’re here to make, and enjoy it while you do.
When you’re busier than ever, days are full, demands are high, it can be hard to fit in the self-care and resilience-building actions for your own health, healing and well being that you know you need to do. You’ve now got the tools and techniques, you know what you could do, and maybe you’ve even planned for setting yourself up for success, but you just haven’t been able to figure out HOW to fit all of this into your life. You want to be sure that this time you follow through on your great intentions, so you can take care of yourself, and get on a path to feeling and leading better. You’ve figured out that knowing what you need to do is different from knowing HOW to make it work in your days.
Through this module, you’ll learn:
- learn how rhythm and ritual impact brain and nervous system health and how this supports your health and well-being
- understand how rhythms and rituals can help you experience calm, be more productive, connect effectively with colleagues and loved ones, heal and be well, and expand your capacity to lead effectively
- move to practical application of the tools you’ve learned and the ones you already know, so you can fit them in your day
- build a plan to establish new rhythms into your daily life, so you can move your body, mind, heart and spirit forward toward wellness
- understand how having and growing your rhythms and rituals help you overcome resistance to self-care, and help you find greater joy
Two Important points of clarification:
- This is not a quick fix
This is not a quick fix. What you’ll learn in this program are tools that can change your life, your work, your leadership, your parenting, and the impact you make on the world. The tools take practice and regular application to have maximum benefit. In this program, you’ll be on your way to beginning that path (or continuing on to go deeper if you’ve already begun), with intensive support from me.
2. This is not THERAPY
This is not a therapy program and I am not a therapist. Many of my clients tell me that the effects of the work together are therapeutic, and sometimes people say that issues they’ve worked on for years in therapy are resolved with the tools and techniques I teach here, alongside the coaching and healing work we do. But first and foremost, this is an educational group coaching program to support your health, healing, and well-being.

Nothing I had learned in any part of my life before prepared me to confront with self-compassion the existential questions that have arisen time and again on my journey about who I am, what I am here for, and what my existence means if and when I am not living up to some externally imposed standard for success. My work with Kelly gave me the lens that I needed.

HEAR FROM her clients & students
I truly believe that Kelly saved my life (and my sanity) during the hardest time of my life. I never thought I would beat my illness and return to a normal life, but my work with her proved that I have the power to heal myself and evolve to who I ultimately want to be.

Got a question?
Frequently asked Questions
I can’t attend live. Will there be recordings of the calls if I have to miss them?
While I highly recommend attending live whenever possible, as you’ll have the benefit of community and the energy of the teachings in real time, if you’re unable to, the call recordings will be available to you to watch/ listen to within 24 hours of class.
My work is taxing and I have high levels of responsibility. How much time will it take?
I’ve designed this program to support high level leaders and changemakers who don’t have extra time and want to learn as efficiently as possible.
And while I highly recommend attending live, you’ll have access to the recordings to guide yourself through the material if you’re unable to make it in real time.
While this might still seem like a lot of time, I assure you, the benefits in terms of productivity, energy, improved health, and efficiency will be palpable when you apply what you learn in this program.
I prefer to do this work alone and due to my work situation, I need to keep my personal experience private.
First, you are not alone in this. Leadership often results in people feeling they don’t have space to speak the truths of the challenges and struggles, nor the learning.
You can participate at the level that feels right for you, and can receive great benefit from showing up, following along, listening, and doing the practices and homework - during and between our calls.
This is a lot of money... Is this going to help me and Am I worth it?
This is an investment, for sure. It’s more money than some programs, and much less than many programs I’ve participated in. And a fraction of what it costs to do private healing work.
My experience over the years, of hitting burnout twice and going through some extremely hard (and costly) health challenges, has shown me that when I invest in my health and well-being, the better I can show up in the world. That investment has allowed me to be well as I’m working to help communities and individuals to be well.
While you must decide if it’s the right time and an investment you’re willing to make, I will say that I’ve had people in my group and private programs tell me that it’s one of the best investments they’ve ever made and worth every penny.
And if times are simply hard right now, I do have a couple of partial scholarships available (program cost would be $895). To be considered, please email: kelly@kellylubeck.com with the subject: BYB Scholarship
