An approach and membership community for wellbeing reclamation and for elevating women into their power and purpose in the service of the more beautiful world we know in our hearts is possible.
The Ways of the Rising Woman Approach
By Rochelle McLaughlin
Feeling overwhelmed by it all? Powerless, numb, hopeless, or disconnected?
If you are like so many, you desire to act with greater wisdom, clarity, and a sense of stability and groundedness.
You may also feel a deep desire for connection, strength, calm, and resilience.
You long to feel resilient, find your purpose and grow in a supportive and nurturing environment.
There is another way to not just survive, but thrive, grow, and become an agent for meaningful change amidst all that is unfolding in these troubled times.
It’s time to step into your power and purpose, reclaim your vitality, and inhabit and honor your body—with a sense of authenticity, ease, and freedom.
Want to live a life of connection, liberation, meaning, and purpose?
Want to respond to challenges with curiosity and resilience?
Want to learn to honor your body’s unique language of well-being?
Want to know how to decolonize your mind and life and kindle your connection to your own well of inner resources?
Want to grow your support circle of like-hearted rising women and wellness explorers and become the change?
We are not meant to heal alone
We are meant to support and inspire each other through challenge, change, and growth. This is the alchemical healing power of common intentionality and there is truly nothing more powerful than a community of like-hearted women coming together in the name of sanity, soul, and justice.
The Ways of the Rising Woman (WRW) Approach is a first-of-its-kind group coaching program and membership community brought to you by Educator, Coach, Author, Rochelle McLaughlin, and inspired by the evidence-based, life-changing program, Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction.
Your relationship to yourself is the most important relationship you have and the WRW program is a one-stop-shop for you to step into self-acceptance and self-ownership. In this community, we hold space for awakened and embodied living, and for the mystery and beauty of a life lived from wonder and connection, rather than fear and overwhelm.
This is your home to take up space, to speak your truth, to explore your edges, to share your challenges as well as your joys, your delights, and your uplifts. It is the space to deepen into your most authentic self, to make friends, to get the word out about your work, and get incredible value so you can heal and grow yourself, your life and our world into the more beautiful world you know in your heart is possible!

The Ways of the Rising Woman Course at Glance
THE RISING WOMAN HEALING PATH
This roadmap will guide you step-by-step as you walk your path to health and wellness reclamation, at your own pace and in community. It emphasizes 8 key entry points: Awareness, Embodiment, Perspective, Privilege, Alignment, Nourishment, Reclamation, and Mobilization as we integrate the work of mindfulness, ancestral healing, and decolonization. Within each entry point are a series of action steps, practices, and ways of being, accompanied by guided meditations, worksheets, and tools to deepen into the work and track your progress.
MONTHLY LIVE MASTERCLASSES
Each month focuses on the Rising Woman pillars for health, wellness, and values-based living reclamation. My live Masterclasses will provide a deeper understanding of the evidence-based, holistic lifestyle interventions used to implement these pillars. I’ll also orient your mindset towards enhanced clarity, inner wisdom, self-acceptance, self-empowerment, and learning to honor the reality of radical self-healing. Masterclasses are held one Friday of every month from 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm PT. Our monthly Masterclass is in addition to the one to two Circle Calls per month. See details below.
MONTHLY GROUP EXERCISES
We engage the pillars of health reclamation through week-long exercises that we embark on as a virtual community. They are a celebratory step-by-step approach towards adopting new habits on your Rising Woman path. They provide an opportunity to dip your toe in the water of decolonization, holistic mind-body lifestyle healing practices and ways of being with the unconditional support and encouragement of a vibrant community!
MONTHLY Circle CALLS
Each month, you’ll be invited to participate in live Circle Calls for all community members to gather in safe and sacred space. This is an opportunity to connect face-to-face in real-time, and lean on your pack for support as you walk the Ways of the Rising Woman Healing Path. I will be facilitating Circle Call sessions one Friday per month including every fifth Friday (when there is a fifth Friday) from 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm PT.
Rising WOMAN MUSINGS
Spontaneous, short videos will be recorded where I candidly shares my most timely insights, thoughts, tips, and explorations not shared elsewhere.
ROOTING TO RISE VIDEO SERIES
In this video series, you’ll be introduced to the core mindset shifts necessary for radical healing. This series highlights an ethos of self-ownership and self-acceptance so that you’re well oriented on your path towards Being, unlocking your privilege potential, empowerment, mobilization, emergence, and self-directed healing.

Client Testimonials
"Ultimately, I feel I have grown more resilient throughout this course. I have strengthened my internal resources and even better, I know I have my own back; I am beginning to trust myself! I also can come to a state of open awareness much more easily than when we began and this is feeling more and more like a part of me. All of these factors contribute to a deeply felt increase in leadership of my strength and compassion body in my daily experiences."
"One of the most potent feelings I have right now as a result of participating in this course is the sense that I met a part of myself more clearly during this course. She is a force that is strong, receptive, loving, wise, and infinitely compassionate. It is not my first time meeting her, but something has changed. I sense she is with me in a more steady and consistent way now. She is a part of me and I know this now."
"It is strange and disconcerting to really feel into this conditioning, these habits, the walls of the familiar neural pathways and to see that these define my world, my universe, my sense of potential. As I experience more and more strength and real love in my relationship with myself, I also wonder what kinds of new understandings of myself, of others, and of this world may emerge."

FAQs
+ When can I expect to be billed?
Monthly subscription members: your first payment occurs on the day you enroll, and then you'll be billed on the same day every month thereafter.
Annual subscription members: similar to the monthly subscription, your first payment occurs on the day you enroll, but you won't be billed again until the same day of the following year (should you choose to continue your membership).
+ Is there a long-term commitment, or can I cancel any time?
There is no long-term commitment. Should you choose to cancel your membership, you can do so at any time and will not be billed again at the next billing cycle.
+ What is your refund policy?
Monthly subscription members: we do not offer refunds for the monthly subscription. If you decide that the membership is not a good fit for you, simply cancel to avoid being billed again at the next billing cycle. Canceling your membership does not refund the current month’s payment (or previous month’s payment if you cancel before your current month’s billing date).
Annual subscription members: you have within 30 days of purchase to request a refund if the membership is not a good fit for you. A refund will also cancel your membership. Refunds are honored for annual subscriptions only because a full year was paid for in advance.
+ Can I cancel my membership and rejoin with the same price?
As we continue to grow this community, membership fees may increase to cover the cost of operations. If you choose to cancel your membership, you may lose your current subscription rate and have to join again at our new subscription cost.
+ How much of my time will it require each month?
This is truly up to you! You may wish to consume all the content at once, or take your time moving through it slowly and deliberately. You might wish to spend more time connecting with others in our private facebook group.
On average, our monthly content should take an hour or two per week to consume. That said, the focus of this membership is on implementation, at your own pace. So, you get to decide! You can’t fall behind as a Rising Woman member. The content and our community will be available with whatever window of time you have to commit.
+ What if I can’t complete the content each month?
The Ways of the Rising Woman Course is a membership community that encourages learning and taking action at your own pace. While Rochelle delivers content regularly, there is no obligation to complete the content as it’s released. We believe the key to sustainable and long-term implementation of these lifestyle habits relies on your ability to follow-through meaningfully, without rushing simply to “get it done.” take your time. All the content will remain available to you on the private course platform, and you can revisit it when the time is right.
+ How do I receive the content each month?
Upon signing up, you’ll receive a unique login to our Ways of the Rising Woman course platform and private Facebook Group, which you’ll be able to access anytime. Through this platform, you’ll have instant access to all the content already available in the member’s area, as well as upcoming content as it gets released. Each time a new piece of content gets released, you’ll receive an email with links for easy access. The content provided will be published in multiple formats (text, video, and audio) to make consumption easy and convenient.
+ What days/times do the live calls (masterclasses and circle calls) take place?
We meet from 6:00pm to 8:00pm two to three Fridays per month depending on how many weekends there are in the month. Our 120-minute Ways of the Rising Woman Circle Calls take place one Friday of every month. Our Masterclasses take place one Friday per month. We also meet on the fifth Friday of every month (when there is a fifth Friday). Once you register you will be given access to our course platform with the calendar.
Each event is live and takes place via Zoom. A replay of the Masterclass is always made available within 48 hours and published to our course membership platform. Circle Calls do not get recorded to allow for a more sacred container.
+ What if I can’t make a live call?
Masterclasses are recorded and a replay is made available in our course membership platform within 48 hours. Replays are available via audio and video for easy and enjoyable consumption.
In order to allow for a sacred container for sharing and connection, Ways of the Rising Woman Circle Calls are not recorded. They continue to take place monthly, so if you cannot make these calls, you are invited to attend the following month.
+ Is Facebook a necessary part of the membership?
A Facebook account is not required to make the most of your membership. You will always have access to our course membership platform where you can access the content and implement it on your own accord. That said, discussion around the content, and meaningful support around its implementation does happen inside our private Facebook group. It’s through this community that you’ll grow your connections and access a different level of healing that doesn't always show up in isolation.
Our live Ways of the Rising Woman Circle Calls allow for real-time, face-to-face connection without the need for social media. However, if you wish to reap the benefits of community ongoing (accountability, personal support and encouragement, connection, etc.), you may consider creating a Facebook account solely for the membership.
+ Is Ways of the Rising Woman program right for me if I don’t suffer from anxiety, feelings of disempowerment, disconnectedness, disembodiment, porous boundaries, or hopelessness?
Being a part of a community of like-hearted individuals is an essential part of walking this path. Even if you don’t suffer from anxiety, disembodiment, a sense of disconnectedness, porous boundaries, or other daily symptoms, membership in the Ways of the Rising Woman group coaching program community will help you build resilience, gain a sense of stability, perspective, clarity, discernment and purpose and it will keep you connected and grounded in your choices around your mental health and wellbeing.
+ I already practice mindfulness, ancestral healing, and I have already decolonized my lifestyle and diet. I already apply the principles of mind-body lifestyle medicine. Will the Ways of the Rising Woman program have anything to offer me?
Sometimes people reach out explaining that they already “live the life” through awareness of these lifestyle principles, but that they still feel like something is missing. In our opinion, the missing link is community. Joining the Ways of the Rising Woman group coaching program community will connect you with like-hearted wellness explorers and will remind you that you are not alone on this journey.
+ Does membership include personalized advice or direct communication with Rochelle McLaughlin other than the online masterclass and circle call sessions?
The membership does not include direct communication with Rochelle Mclaughlin or personalized advice from her other than what is covered and attended to in the online community and Circle Calls. Rochelle offers individual coaching or consultations sessions that you can schedule here.
+ Is this membership appropriate for children or teens?
This is an important question about Rochelle’s comprehensive approach. Parents often wonder how they can convince their child or teen to make such radical changes to their lifestyle. We know this can be incredibly challenging simply because children and teens often haven’t made the connection between destructive cultural norms, self-care, and their health. The simple steps of this membership are meant to show what is possible through the integration of a mind-body lifestyle, embodiment, and ancestral and self-healing practices before introducing a more structured approach. This can be a great place to start for our younger generation if they are choosing to participate.
It’s time to step into your power and purpose, decolonize your mind and heart, reclaim your vitality, and inhabit and honor your body—with a sense of authenticity and freedom.
To Know the Dark
To go in the dark with a light is to know the light.
To know the dark, go dark. Go without sight,
and find that the dark, too, blooms and sings,
and is traveled by dark feet and dark wings.
