Designing Your Life is a Stanford-tested and research-backed method for figuring out what's next with more confidence, ideas, and alignment.
Take your day-to-day from "Fine" to "Hell Yes!"
When someone asks how things are going, is “fine” your go-to answer? Are you feeling a bit stuck?
You deserve a life where you say "Really good - I have so much to be grateful for!" A day-to-day with more meaning, more joy, more of what lights you up.
Not sure how to get there? We've got you. You don’t need to have it all figured out. You just need a process that works and a community to support you along the way.
Designing Your Life for Women is a 6-session, virtual cohort for women and nonbinary folks who want:
✨ A life that fits you and lines up with what you value, not what's expected of you.
✨ Clarity about what's next, and more options than you thought you had, even if you have no idea what you want right now.
✨ Less anxiety about the future and fewer “I should have this figured out by now” thoughts.
✨ A real action plan: you leave with three possible futures, an idea you've tested, and a plan for beyond the cohort.
✨ A group of women who cheer you on and celebrate your wins like their own.
No five-year plan. No perfect passion. No permission slip needed.
Registration is open until Thursday, December 31, 2026, or until all slots are filled.
Design your way forward with small experiments, not one big leap.Â
We'll walk through these five steps together to get results that fit you like a cozy sweater.
We bring 40+ years of combined experience and one simple belief:
nobody should figure out what's next alone.

Hi, I'm Katie!
My Designing Your Life experience started as a participant. To be vulnerable, it was the first time I thought of what I wanted in my life without considering anyone else. And. It. Was. Transformative.
I love coaching, and I love human-centered design. But they don’t hold a candle to the power of a room full of women. We dreamed big, disrupted harmful stories, and said the scary parts of our desires out loud. We pushed each other to take steps toward the lives we actually wanted, and we celebrated each other's courage along the way.
I loved the experience so much that I became a certified DYL coach, so I could help create that space for others.
Hi, I'm Darcy!
My Designing Your Life (DYL) story started with the book. After reinventing myself more times than I can count, in different careers and different countries, the “what’s next?” questions kept coming back, and harder each time. Reading Designing Your Life, I realized I’d been using design thinking on my life all along. I just never had a name for it.
I’ve spent 25+ years in global business and coaching, but nothing compares to watching a group of women with completely different backgrounds lift each other up. They share ideas, open doors, laugh a lot, and leave braver than they arrived.
I became a certified DYL coach because I want every woman navigating her next chapter to have women like that in her corner
