Held in the Threshold
A space for women navigating the possibility and reality of solo motherhood
You’re facing decisions and changes that don’t have clear answers.
You don’t have to carry them alone.
There are moments in life where everything shifts.
Not all at once, but enough that what used to feel steady… doesn’t anymore.
You might be:
trying to decide if you want to become a parent on your own
in the process and realizing how much is out of your control
already parenting and wondering how to sustain it all
or navigating another threshold entirely—relationships, career, identity
On the outside, you’re capable. Thoughtful.
Used to figuring things out.
But inside, it can feel like:
too many decisions with no clear “right” answer
a constant mental load that never quite turns off
pressure to carry it well—because this was your choice
a quiet fear of getting it wrong
and a loneliness that’s hard to explain to people who aren’t living it
You may find yourself overthinking, pushing through, holding it together…
But underneath it all, there’s a deeper question:
How do I move forward in this… without losing myself?
Imagine moving through this part of your life feeling:
more grounded in yourself, even when things are uncertain
able to hear and trust your own inner knowing
less overwhelmed by the constant demands and decisions
supported—internally and externally
connected to who you are, not just the roles you’re holding
This isn’t about having everything figured out.
It’s about becoming someone who can meet what’s here with steadiness, clarity, and self-trust.
Someone who can:
make aligned decisions
repair when things feel off
stay connected to herself in the middle of it all
I know what it’s like when life doesn’t unfold the way you thought it would.
In my early 40s, everything I thought was stable unraveled at once—my already late-in-life marriage ended, I chose to pursue motherhood on my own through IVF, moved across the country, hit the contract term limit forcing me to leave a job I loved before I welcomed my daughter … all within months.
There wasn’t a roadmap.
There were moments of clarity, and moments of deep uncertainty.
Times when I was grounded, and times when my nervous system was completely stretched.
What carried me through wasn’t having the perfect plan.
It was learning to:
listen to my own intuition
regulate my body in the middle of intensity
receive support in ways I hadn’t before
and trust myself (and those guides beyond myself) even when I didn’t have all the answers
Along the way, I’ve spent years as a coach, facilitator, and learning designer—supporting people through growth, change, and complex transitions. And I’ve also trained in and now practice Akashic healing, which allows me to support clients at a deeper emotional and energetic level.
While I don’t have your answers…
I help you find your way through—in a way that’s grounded, supported, and true to you.
This work meets you wherever you are—
whether you’re considering, moving toward, or living solo motherhood.
Together, we focus on three core areas:
Grounding & Clarity
Create space to hear yourself again
Untangle fear, pressure, and overthinking
Release old patterns that are holding you back
Reconnect with what’s true for you
Capacity & Regulation
Learn how to work with your nervous system in real life
Reduce overwhelm and mental load
Build sustainable ways of moving through your days
Integration & Support
Strengthen your sense of self beyond any single role
Process emotions that often go unspoken
Build support that actually feels supportive
(I mean, this has to work on a Tuesday night, not just during “self care” time!)
Held in the Threshold
Inside this work, you’ll receive:
1:1 coaching sessions, two per month
Monthly Community gathering featuring facilitated and ad hoc peer support
Emotional and somatic support tailored to your real life
Practices to regulate your nervous system and reduce overwhelm
Space to process decisions, uncertainty, and identity shifts
Optional Akashic healing sessions for deeper insight and release
Ongoing support between sessions (as needed)
This is not a one-size-fits-all program.
It’s a space that meets you where you are—and supports you in moving forward in a way that feels sustainable, honest, and your own.
Join this 1:1 coaching and healing space for women navigating significant life transitions—especially around solo motherhood.
You can keep pushing through on your own.
Holding the questions. Managing the load. Trying to think your way to the right answers.
And maybe you will figure parts of it out.
But often, what gets lost along the way is:
your sense of self
your capacity to feel steady
your ability to actually be present in your life
Over time, the cost of carrying it all alone can look like:
burnout
disconnection
decisions made from pressure instead of alignment
You don’t have to wait until you’re completely depleted to get support.
“I have worked with both executive business coaches and therapists; Joayne’s approach was more holistic. I think I can compartmentalize, but often the same patterns and challenges show up in my personal and professional lives and across relationships.”
“This session did more than 20 years of therapy has.”
“Wow, that was amazing! Now I want to ask you about all my children.”
You don’t need to have everything figured out to begin.
If you’re in the middle of something—a decision, a transition, a version of your life that feels both meaningful and overwhelming— this space is here for you.
