The Courageous Living  

60-Day Nervous System Reset 


for Women Who Are Tired of Holding It All Together 

If anxiety, overthinking, emotional eating, weight gain, or exhaustion are interfering with your life — this isn’t because you’re weak or undisciplined

 It’s because your nervous system learned to survive by self-abandoning. 
 
This is a structured, trauma-informed course for women who are done living in survival mode — and want practical tools to regulate stress, hormones, and emotional overwhelm without blowing up their lives. 


Developed and taught by a Licensed Psychotherapist who is Certified in Trauma

Anxiety, overthinking, emotional eating, and chronic stress symptoms don’t happen in isolation. 
They develop when a woman has spent years: 
  •  managing others’ needs  
  • staying composed under pressure  
  • ignoring her own limits  
  • functioning through stress instead of resolving it  

This is not a character flaw. 
It’s a learned survival strategy.  

And survival strategies have long-term consequences (even though it's not your fault you developed them)

Led by Janice Holland

A Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor and Certified Trauma Model Therapist with over 15 years of experience in trauma-informed care, I teach women how to break survival-mode patterns at the nervous system level — so real change becomes possible.

What the Courageous Living 60-Day Course Actually Solves

This course works by helping your nervous system exit long-term survival mode. 

Instead of managing symptoms, we reduce the internal pressure that creates them. 
 
Over 8 weeks, you will:  
  • learn how survival mode operates specifically in your body 
  •  reduce stress responses that disrupt hormones, appetite, and energy 
  •  interrupt anxiety and emotional coping before they escalate 
  •  rebuild trust in your body’s cues (hunger, fatigue, desire, limits) 
  •  stabilize your stress response so change lasts 

 This is practical, applied work — not theory.


I’ve done years of therapy. This? This is what finally worked.”

Why these patterns don’t resolve on their own

Anxiety, overthinking, and stress-based coping reinforce each other. 
Until survival mode is addressed: 
  •  insight alone doesn’t change physiology 
  •  discipline increases cortisol and pressure 
  •  “trying harder” deepens exhaustion 
  •  hormones remain dysregulated 
  •  the body stays on high alert 

 This course shows you exactly what to do instead.

This course is for you if:
  • stress is showing up in your body, not just your mind 
  •  you feel tired, wired, or inflamed more often than calm 
  •  food, control, or withdrawal become coping tools 
  •  you want results, not ongoing “management” 
  •  you need structure that works in real life 

 This is not crisis therapy. This is nervous-system skill building.

WHAT'S INCLUDED:

  • 8 structured weekly modules (one tool per week) 
  •  Clear explanation of why each tool works 
  •  Simple guided practice (no overwhelm) 
  •  Lifetime access to all materials 
  •  A repeatable framework you can use forever 


 No emotional digging. 

No lifestyle overhaul. 

No pressure to “keep up.”

Outcome: 

More energy, more consistency, less self-sabotage.

Week 7:
Living in Abundance and Freedom

Embodied Self-Trust and Expression

To anchor regulation into identity, not effort. 


 You’ll learn: 

  •  How to live without bracing for collapse
  • How to express needs without guilt 
  •  How to trust yourself under pressure

You practice living from regulation instead of restraint.

This isn’t about doing more. 

It’s about teaching your body how to:

  • regulate stress and hormones  
  • respond instead of react  
  • stay present without collapsing or coping 

 The goal is stability — not emotional intensity.

    Why Courageous Living Works (When Other Things Haven’t)

    Courageous Living is about choosing your wholeness over your history. It's the bold decision to stop abandoning yourself and start living from regulation, clarity, and truth. It's about healing the nervous system, releasing old identities, and reclaiming your ability to feel, create, express, and connect. It’s not about being fearless — it’s about moving forward even when fear is present. It’s showing up to your life as you are, while making space for the woman you’re becoming. 

    Courageous Living is what happens when you stop shrinking to fit who the world told you to be… and start expanding into who you really are.
