You have the Book.
Now, let’s find the Spark.
Stop "managing" your exhaustion. Start choosing your aliveness.
Join the 7-Day Spark Challenge—the official somatic companion to In Pursuit of Soul Joy.
Seven days of 3-minute rituals to move you from functional freeze to full-color radiance.
A free gift for women healers over 50.
Reading about joy is not the same as embodying it.
If you’ve started the book but find yourself still staring at the ceiling at 2:00 AM, you aren't failing. You’re just stuck in a biological loop.
Most "Self-Care" is just another item on your to-do list.
The 7-Day Spark is different. It’s not homework; it’s a homecoming. Based on the science of the nervous system and the 12-week roadmap in In Pursuit of Soul Joy, these rituals take less than 3 minutes a day but signal to your body that it is finally safe to exhale.
Seven Days to Melt the Freeze.
Each morning, you’ll receive a "Soul Vitamin" email that enhances your experience with the book.
Day 1: The Diagnosis - Identify your Somatic Signature (Warrior, Ghost, Saint, or Prisoner).
Day 2: Sensation Over Thinking - A 3-minute ritual to move from your head to your heart.
Day 3: The "Not Broken" Reframe - Separating who you ARE from what you DO.
Day 4: Installing the Shield - Learning to witness pain without wearing it home.
Day 5: Taking the Armor Off - Giving yourself permission to stop being the "Strong One."
Day 6: The Cage Door - Finding one thing to delete today to make room for your Radiance Era.
Day 7: The Wellness Contract - Committing to a life you actually enjoy living.
This is just the beginning.
The challenge is the "Quick Start." Your long-term recovery lives in the community.
While you move through these 7 days, you'll get exclusive invitations to:
The Soul Joy Book Club: Our monthly live "Somatic Coffee Date" to dive deeper into the science.
The Podcasts: Real talk for healers - Compassion Fatigue Cure & women ready to reignite desire - Sexy After 50.
The Radiance Intensive: My 7-day high-touch transformation for women ready to rise.
Don’t miss out! Find your SPARK!
