Break Free from Unfulfilling Patterns and Embrace a Life of Authenticity

In This Program you will:

  • Declare Intentions and Define 6 Micro-Goals 

    In the first module, you'll identify a goal that actually reflects your authentic values and desires, not other people’s expectations or societal outlooks. You’ll then break this goal into six clear micro-actions, one for each week of the program, so you’re not just learningyou’re actively transforming how you show up in real life.

  • Master Your Mind with Meditation & Pure Awareness

    Through guided meditation and awareness practices, you'll learn to observe your thoughts rather than unconsciously reacting to them, learning the difference between conditioned patterns versus your authentic self. 

  • Learn to Regulate Your Nervous System

    Authenticity is difficult when your nervous system is stuck in protection mode. In this module you'll learn tools to regulate stress responses, recognize emotional triggers, create safety within your body This allows you to move through discomfort without shutting down, over-performing, or abandoning yourself.

  • Understand Triggers, Projections, and Difficult Emotions

    Many of the reactions that shape our relationships come from unconscious emotional patterns. Instead of avoiding difficult emotions, you’ll learn how to work with them as information and catalysts for growth.

  • Explore Shadow Work, Archetypes, and Persona Masks

    This module explores the deeper psychological patterns that shape identity. Learn how to identify the masks you use to navigate the world, uncover shadow traits that may lead to sabotage or performance, explore the archetypes influencing your behavior and decision-making

  • Embrace Authentic Expression  

     Live and lead from your authentic identity rather than your mask, express yourself honestly in relationships, work, and personal goals, By the end of the program, you won’t just have insights - you’ll have taken real action toward a goal that reflects your authentic self

       

     

Break Free

Release the patterns that lead to self-sabotage, emotional suppression, or performing. Instead of reacting from conditioning, respond from conscious choice.

Understand Your Shadow

Align with Your Authentic Self

Beneath the roles, expectations, and masks, there is a deeper identity waiting to be expressed. Move beyond societal expectations and reconnect with your true self.

Testimonial
“Working with Riss has been life changing! Riss saw me, heard me, and guided me to meet my
authentic self in a real and powerful way. I now know how to hold my whole self, shadow and
higher self, with compassion, love, and honor. Everything from conversations to homework felt
true and crafted just for me. There was crying, laughing, uncovering, healing, and discovery at
every turn. I would definitely recommend working with Riss and learning to love and show up
for yourself in new and powerful ways!”

“Riss not only made a safe place for me to explore who I really am, but she’s the first person
with whom I’ve been my most authentic self. Many people review that she’s changed their lives,
and I add my name to that list. I was in a very hopeless place, and she helped me to move
forward with my life. I am grateful beyond words for her compassion and wisdom. Riss’ coaching
containers are a safe place free from judgment and full of healing.”

Six months of working with Riss has brought me more peace and clarity than I have ever felt in
over thirty years of self-discovery. Her coaching and support have been the catalyst for a great
change that I never thought was possible. When the work gets difficult or very trying, Riss is
there with a guiding hand and a compassion that is truly magical. She is torchlight through the shadows. Her insight and knowledge will guide me for the rest of my days and I am forever
grateful.“

compassionate and a wonderful guide through the entire process. Each week brought a new
level of self awareness, acceptance, and gratitude for life. While it was not always easy to face
myself, I felt so supported through the entire transformation. Absolutely world-class and I would
highly recommend working with Riss.”

A peek into the themes at play

On February 21st at 8 pm EST, join myself and guest speaker Yasmin Elzomor for a full moon ceremony to prepare for Spring! We’ll be honoring death and rebirth cycles around relationships with cord cutting, astrology, folklore, and more.

Within the sign of Virgo, this full moon is connected to purification and cleansing, providing us with an opportunity for spring cleaning. Prominent themes that have been associated with February since the pre-christian era are love and relationships. 

Valentine's day and Lupercalia (a pagan purification festival involving match making) give us an opportunity to celebrate the warmth that relationships bring to our lives within the darkness of winter. 

However, if we aren’t embracing the death and rebirth cycles within relationships, they turn stale, cold, stagnant, toxic, etc. People cheat, resentment builds, unhappiness ensues, and it’s all because we are unwilling to go to the underworlds of our beings and face the raw truths that will actually catalyze evolution and rebirth within the relationship. True intimacy is being willing to see and share our authentic truths with others, and it is when we stop being intimate that our relationships fail.

Yasmin, relationship + sex and transformational coach says “We will die and be reborn multiple times in our romantic relationships and the key to winning that game is to understand that alchemical process within ourselves and our partners”.

The Virtual Ceremony

We'll be doing a cord cutting ceremony to release what is no longer working for us in relationships, and honor the death & rebirth cycles we experience with others. I will cover the astrology, folklore surrounding February and relationships, and Jung's lover archetype and the role it plays in our psyches. Yasmin and I will both lead a cord cutting ceremony. Yasmin will also share 5 practical ways that we can keep a long term relationship alive.
 

What is Cord Cutting?


The function of Jung's lover archetype in psychology is to merge with another being. We all have this archetype within, and when we do merge with others on an energetic and emotional level, it is believed that 'cords' are formed between us. Cord cutting allows us to release energetic cords that bind us to others (or aspects of a relationship) that aren't serving our highest good.Â
