THE SHESTANDS METHOD ~ A 12 WEEK PROGRAM FOR HIGH PERFORMING WOMEN
Most menopause programs help you feel better. SheSTANDS helps you feel better, and decide what comes next.
A premium program for high-performing women who want to feel like themselves again and decide what this next season looks like.
Over twelve weeks, you'll do two things at once. Steady the symptoms that have been running your days, your sleep, focus, energy, and mood, and decide what your identity, your career, and this next chapter of your life are going to look like. All of it guided by a coach who has been exactly where you are.

Feel better, and decide what’s next. You do both here.
THIS IS NOT YOUR TYPICAL MENOPAUSE PROGRAM
You’ve spent decades striving to become the high-performing woman you are. This season is where you decide what to do with all of it.
Most menopause programs stop at the symptoms. They hand you a checklist for sleep, hot flashes, and mood, and send you on your way. Useful, as far as it goes. But for a woman operating at a high level, it doesn't go far enough.
Because this season raises a bigger question than "how do I feel better." We help you answer that one, and then we ask the others. Who are you now? What do you still want from your career? What do you want the rest of this life to look like? The SheSTANDS Method helps you answer both.
It's built by high-performing women, for high-performing women — who are navigating perimenopause and menopause. Whether you're mid-career, near the top, or you've already stepped back from the title but nowhere near done, SheSTANDS is for you. You haven't lost your edge. The conditions changed, and this is where you learn to work with them and move forward on purpose.
She doesn't step down. She stands. This is the program that helps you do exactly that.

I spent years as a private and corporate attorney, building an entire career on a mind I could count on. So when my sleepless nights were too many to count and words I'd used for years started going missing mid-sentence, I did what high-performing women do: I pushed harder, and I told no one.
It took me far too long to understand what was actually happening, and how much could be done about it. I built SheSTANDS so that other accomplished women wouldn't lose years to the same confusion, and so this season could become the one where they decide what's next, rather than the one that quietly decides for them.
I know this season from the inside. And I know it doesn't have to cost you who you are.
HOW IT WORKS
The SheSTANDS Method, built for a full life.
Six modules, two weeks each. Twelve weeks in all, with room to actually take it in and put it to work, rather than race through it. Every module gives you three live calls: Tuesdays with Mary, Thursdays with your expert for that pillar, and a Standing Room session where the whole community comes together to ask questions and share what's working. Everything is live at 7:30 PM ET, and everything is recorded, so a hard week or a late flight never means missing a thing.
