a wisdom circle for high-Capacity, BUSY MOTHERs
How are you, honey?
I know there are lot of things to be grateful for in your life but does it also feel like your hair is on fire?
Tell me if this resonates…
You’re in charge of most things in your life and you kind of like the control…but it’s also EXHAUSTING and can make you resent the people you love the most.
You’re a dedicated helper and while you’re committed to your good work, you feel the squeeze of managing up and down everywhere in your life. You manage your children, your employees or co-workers, your manager, and your relationships. Sometimes it feels like no matter how hard you try, there’s no way to win.
People would say you’re impressive and have it all together. You’re not someone people worry about but you’re starting to worry about yourself and the disconnect you feel inside.
The demands of motherhood, marriage and your career are constantly vying for your attention, leading you to never give any part of your life the attention it deserves…which feels terrible.
Being good at things really matters to you and succeeding at mothering, partnering, and work is harder than you ever imaged.
You’re always trying to grow and be better. You love hard and try hard and care deeply about people…and so you end up turning yourself inside out trying to keep them happy.
You believe deeply in empowerment, mindfulness, spirituality and self-care…but you don’t DO IT until you hit a breaking point because it's really hard to prioritize yourself and admit you might need support.
Historically, you’ve never been a joiner but since becoming a mother there’s a real hunger in you to grow in community alongside other women who “get it.”
Here’s what I want you to know:
You don’t have to continually put out fires
You don’t have to twist yourself into a pretzel for others
You don’t have to fix people’s problems
You don’t have to be perfect or “get it right”
You don’t have to keep doing things all by yourself
You don’t just have to “be more zen”
You don’t have to kill yourself trying to overcome resentment
And you don’t just have to focus on gratitude and repeat, “It’s fine…”
There is another way. You can come home, instead.
That’s what the wisdom circle is all about:
Your homecoming.
Homecoming is an intimate, IN-PERSON, 6-month group coaching program designed to help high-capacity mothers build courage, clarity and self-compassion within a circle of brilliant women committed to care.
In Homecoming you will learn to stop second-guessing yourself & overriding your needs so you can actually thrive in your life.
Homecoming is A Wisdom circle about…
Finding safety, insight and love in a group of smart and supportive women
Ending the overriding of what you truly feel and know
Building unwavering power and bandwidth within yourself so you can ride the waves of life with more grace
Having a dedicated place to set down all the things on your very full plate
Unhooking from the toxic personal and social expectations draining your energy
Understanding, in your cells, that you deserve care and investment and JOY
Remembering who you are and what you love -- and prioritizing it
Allowing yourself to slow down and savor, without shame or guilt
Taking care of your body in ways that nourish you rather than deplete you
Cultivating authentic relationships at work and in your family that allow you to share more of yourself
In other words: this is about trusting yourself and the other incredible mothers around you.
This is about being at the center of your own life instead of a bystander in it.
Welcome home.
There are few places our lives where we consciously focus on thriving together.
Homecoming is one of them.
Are you ready to join the 6-month wisdom circle Homecoming? Do you want to learn more?
Imagine if you could:
Lead with love and care without taking it all on.
Free yourself from perfectionism.
Say the truest thing in front of women who have your back, no matter what falls from your mouth.
Banish resentment from your partnership and your life.
Show up as a powerful, authentic leader at work and home. (Rather than just a workhorse.)
Say NO to others and YES to yourself.
Only shoulder what is yours to carry.
Allow yourself to join and whole-heartedly trust a circle of women.
Stop second-guessing yourself.
Give yourself the space you need to figure out what is real and true for you.
Whatever you want to change, whatever you want to experience or create for yourself…
It all starts with living at the center of your own life.
So nope, you don’t have to set it all on fire and walk away.
And you don’t have to pretend like the discomfort is not happening.
You can come home, instead.

HI, I’M JAMIE GREENWOOD
I’m a life and leadership coach with 17 years experience supporting high-capacity women to find home in themselves.
We need the magic that is cultivated when women circle now, more than ever.
The world is on fire and changing at a breakneck pace. Chaos is the order of the day and no one knows what to do about it.
Your life may also be on fire and moving a mile a minute. While it may seem selfish to think about your own life in the face of global atrocities, healing side by side is how we heal the world.
Homecoming invites YOU to plug in with other brilliant women who, like you, are seeking to live freer, more connected and embodied lives.
Deciding to live at the center of your own life is transformational, AND it’s far from easy.
In fact, it’s counter to EVERYTHING women are taught to be and do.
From the first time you were told to “smile” and “be nice”, society was indoctrinating you with the belief that it was your job to keep everyone happy, always putting others’ needs before your own — and when you take on this thankless, endless labor, you end up exhausted and resentful. You end up being the helpmate in other people’s lives instead of living at the center of your own. You end up disconnected from your wildly powerful self.
Please know this: You are so much more than your desire to be liked, helpful and accomplished. You’re really good at playing within the system, however the system is not supporting you. Rather, it’s busy stealing your life.
No more.
Connection, freedom and belonging are your birthright and this is your life.
Come home to it.

“Jamie always intuitively points me toward my next ah-ha moment. She doesn’t judge me but supports me exactly where I am. She illuminates my blindspots and helps me navigate using self-care as a guiding light.”
“I’m a remarkably different person since Jamie and I started working together. I feel freer, more confident and no longer contort myself to be what other’s want of me. That’s a miracle!”

It’s about carving out sacred time to reconnect with yourself and other wise women who yearn to walk hand in hand together through this wild ride called life..
This is about deep internal listening so you can tap into what you want and feel — because THAT is the source of your power.
This is about letting yourself receive profound support, accountability and encouragement.
