8-WEEK DISCOVERY PROGRAM

Finding Your True North

Begin Your Journey. Discover What’s Calling You Forward.

Discover Your True North at Midlife

Embrace Your Second Act.

Align your values, purpose and wisdom with your authentic path in this 8-week online coaching program.

You’ve Checked Every Box. So Why Does It Feel Like Something’s Missing?

You’re outwardly successful, inwardly restless. Pulled between others’ expectations and your own inner wisdom. You’ve been living by “should” for so long, you’ve lost touch with your personal compass.

You’re not having a crisis.

You’re having a reckoning. That persistent whisper saying “there must be more than this” isn’t a sign of ingratitude—it’s your inner wisdom asking to be heard.

You’re at a crossroads.

Between who you’ve been and who you’re becoming. Between obligation and authenticity. Between playing it safe and stepping into the unknown.

You’re ready to explore.

Not to blow up your life, but to understand what’s stirring beneath the surface. To give yourself permission to question. To find out what’s possible when you listen to yourself first.

“For the first time in 25 years, I gave myself permission to want something just for me. That alone changed everything.”

Sarah M.

“I was terrified I’d discover there was nothing beneath the resume. Instead, I found a woman I actually like.”

Patricia L.

This Program Is Your Safe Space to Explore

This is perfect if you:

  • Feel the stirring of something more but can’t yet name it
  • Are curious about deeper work but cautious about major time or financial investments
  • Want to test the coaching waters before diving into a multi-month commitment
  • Need community to feel less alone in your midlife questioning
  • Are open to exploring but not yet ready to make dramatic changes

This might not be right if you:

  • Know you need deep transformation and are ready to commit now (consider The Reclamation)
  • Want quick fixes or surface-level advice
  • Aren’t open to exploring uncomfortable questions
  • Need crisis intervention or therapeutic support

What’s included:

  • 8 Live Sessions – 90-minute weekly virtual group coaching sessions with cohort of up to 15 women

  • Comprehensive workbook with weekly exercises and reflection prompts

  • Access to our online community for peer support between sessions

  • Values Discovery – Guided toolkit to identify your core values and personal compass

  • Life Inventory Assessment – Tool to map your current reality and identify areas of alignment and misalignment

YOUR 8-WEEK JOURNEY

Week by Week: From Crossroads to Clarity

Each 90-minute session creates space for teaching, group coaching, and integration. You’ll walk away with weekly practices to deepen your discoveries between sessions.

Week 1: The Crossroads

Theme: Naming where you are
Acknowledge the persistent whisper of “something more” without judgment. Create psychological safety in the group. Understand that being at a crossroads is normal, not a crisis.

Week 2: The Life You’ve Built

Theme: Understanding your current landscape
Examine your life as it exists today—the good, the challenging, the obligations, the joys. Begin to identify what’s yours versus what you inherited or absorbed.

Week 3: The Voice of ‘Should’

Theme: Identifying external expectations
Become aware of the “should” voice—familial, cultural, professional. Learn to distinguish between authentic desires and internalized expectations.

Week 4: What’s Been Buried

Theme: Reconnecting with forgotten dreams
Gently excavate dreams, interests, and desires that were set aside. Give yourself permission to remember without immediately needing to act.

Week 5: Your Inner Compass

Theme: Introduction to True North
Understand True North as the integration of values, purpose, and wisdom. Begin to identify what truly matters to you—not what should matter.

Week 6: Small Experiments

Theme: Testing the waters
Design small, low-risk experiments to test alignment. Learn that change doesn’t have to be dramatic to be meaningful. Build confidence in your inner knowing.

Week 7: What You’ve Discovered

Theme: Integration and reflection
Consolidate insights from the past 6 weeks. Name what’s shifted. Acknowledge what still feels unclear. Understand that awareness is the first step, not the destination.

Week 8: Your Path Forward

Theme: Choosing your next chapter
Explore your options: continuing on your own, staying with foundational practices, or committing to deeper transformation. No pressure, just clarity.

FAQ

What if I’m not sure I’m “ready” for this?

That’s exactly who this program is for. You don’t need to have it all figured out. You just need to be curious and willing to explore. This is a low-risk way to dip your toe in before committing to deeper work.

How is this different from The Reclamation program?

True North Foundation is an 8-week introduction to the True North methodology, focused on awareness and exploration. The Reclamation is a 6-month deep transformation program with 1:1 coaching, expert workshops, and comprehensive support. Think of Foundation as opening the door to see what’s possible; Reclamation is stepping through and doing the full work.

What if I miss a session?

Given the sensitive and deeply personal nature of our work together, sessions are not recorded to protect everyone’s privacy and create the safest possible container for vulnerability. We strongly encourage attending all 8 sessions live. To complete the program and receive your materials, you must attend at least 6 of the 8 sessions. If you need to miss a session, your cohort peers can share key insights during the next gathering.

How do you ensure confidentiality in the group

Creating a safe container for vulnerability is our top priority. All participants agree to strict confidentiality guidelines—what’s shared in the group stays in the group. Sessions are never recorded to protect everyone’s privacy. We establish ground rules in Week 1, and with a maximum of 15 participants total, the cohort size allows for meaningful connection and trust-building.

Is this online or in-person?

This program is 100% virtual via Zoom. All you need is a quiet space, good internet, and a willingness to be present. We recommend creating a cozy, distraction-free environment for your weekly sessions.

What happens after the 8 weeks?

You’ll have clarity on what comes next for you. Some graduates continue on their own with the tools they’ve gained. Others join our 6-month Reclamation program for deeper transformation (with a $500 alumni discount). There’s no pressure—just options based on what feels right for you.

Is there a refund policy?

We offer a full refund within 48 hours of registration. After that, your deposit can be applied to another Chelese Perry Group program if this isn’t the right fit.

What if I have questions that haven’t been answered here?

If you have any questions that haven’t been addressed in these FAQs, please email the facilitator directly at chelese@cheleseperryllc.com.
