The Start Anyway Workshop
Reclaim your time | Start where you are | Take the first step
Your next chapter starts with one small step
Give yourself the space to find it. Start Anyway.
You’ve spent years holding it all together—for your family, your team, your community. And now? You’re ready to give the best of you to yourself, not everyone else.
You want more, but you don’t know what more means. You can’t remember the last time you made real space for you (listening to your audiobook while folding laundry doesn’t count.)
It’s time to take that space—and no, it doesn’t require a three-day retreat or a 30-day journaling challenge. You don’t have time for that right now. But you can take 90 minutes to get unstuck.
Start Anyway is a 90-minute live workshop for women who are tired, heading to burnout, and quietly craving something more. Whether you’re considering a change or just trying to find your path again, this is your place to begin.
You won’t have a perfect plan.
Start anyway.
Does any of this sound familiar?
01
You feel pulled toward something new…but have no idea what it is.
You’re constantly holding it together — for everyone else — and there’s nothing left for you.
02
You're mentally drafting your resignation letter during meetings (but haven’t sent it)
03
No matter where you are, you can take steps towards a work life that isn’t going to bleed you dry.
You're not miserable, but you’re not lit up either, and that might be worse.
04
You keep telling yourself now’s not the right time…but when is?
05
Feel seen? Good.
Start Anyway is where you take the next step.
What you’ll walk away with
Discover what’s keeping you stuck.
Simple, honest prompts and discussion to help you hear your own voice again.
Clarity on what’s next
Even if it’s just your next right step. No big declarations required.
Time and space for you
90 minutes that are entirely yours to give yourself the brain space to actually think for a minute. (Or 90).
Momentum
That subtle shift from “I don’t know where to start” to “I’ve got this.”
Relief
The kind that comes when someone names what you’ve been feeling and helps you move forward.
A little fire in your belly
That spark of oh right, what I want still matters.

Join me for a guided exploration of what’s possible, what’s keeping you stuck, and how you can get back to choosing yourself.
Have a notebook and pen handy for reflection prompts and brainstorming. I’ll also share some of the biggest reasons why you might be struggling to start or know what’s next to help you see how to interrupt thought patterns and social norms that aren’t looking out for you. Then we’ll set up a plan (a gentle one) for what to do next, and how to prepare yourself to stand up to anyone or anything that might get in your way.
*Have you recently lost your job or have other financial constraints? I offer sliding scale pricing for those who need it. Send me an email at ellen@ewbcoaching.com and we can chat.
A 90-minute workshop for the tired, the unsure, and the quietly determined.
Ready to dive in?
You don’t need to feel ready. You just need to take one tiny step forward.
This isn’t a bootcamp or a blueprint—it’s a guided pause to get unstuck, reconnect with what you want, and take one honest step toward it. Trust me, I’ve been where you are, and not too long ago, either. There’s a million forces working against us trying to create a joyful life that’s not governed by what we do for work. But I’ve finally learned, and I really want to help you get there too, that not only can we choose ourselves first, but that life doesn’t fall apart when we do.
Why should you work with me? My clients say:
Rebecca, Seattle
"[Ellen] is great at asking the questions that go a little deeper to untangle the ‘why’ as well as the ‘what’."
Executive , Montana
"Ellen is sincere, genuine, and supportive."
Mo, New York
"Ellen is such a compassionate and motivational force."
This workshop is for you if:
You’re dreaming about a new path but stuck in “someday” mode
Fantasizing about quitting your job but unsure what’s next
Waiting for clarity, more confidence, or the “right” time
Are burnt out, fed up, or just plain frozen
Are recently out of a job with no clue how to get to the next one
This isn’t for you if:
You’re looking for a quick fix or a five-step formula to change your life overnight.
You’re not ready to reflect honestly or get a little uncomfortable (in a growth way).
You believe burnout is just part of being successful.
You’re staying stuck because “at least it’s familiar.”
You’re not open to questioning the systems that benefit from you staying small, quiet, or exhausted.

Thrilled to be your guide
Hi, I’m Ellen, and I’m a certified coach and champion for human-centered leadership. After 20 years of contorting myself to fit into workplaces that weren’t designed for me, I got off the merry-go-round and shed the toxic culture that had been stifling my personal creativity and keeping me from the life I truly wanted to live.
I’m fired up about helping women reclaim themselves without compromising their values, unlearn toxic beliefs, and change the definition of success to center humans, not profit. You’ll walk away from working with me knowing your worth, feeling confident in your plans, and ready to tackle any problem.
