Some seasons of midlife call for deeper, guided work in a smaller room. Circles are the live cohorts inside Muscles & Readers: small groups of women moving through a focused curriculum together, in real time, for a set season. Part course, part small group, built on a clinically informed framework and honest conversation.

The founding cohort is 8–10 women led by licensed professional counselor Dawn Starkey. Over four months, you’ll meet every other week on Zoom for small-group coaching, recorded for your cohort, plus one private coaching session with Dawn. Focus areas include body image, relationships, anger management, anxiety, identity, and nervous system coaching. Join the waitlist now; accepted women enroll starting Dec 3, and the cohort begins in January 2027. The cost is $600 a month for 4 months ($2,400 total), or $2,200 paid in full.
