The Return Plan: Core - what working together actually looks like
After 6 articles on nervous system patterns and business strategy, here's the complete 12-week framework - what's included, the investment, and how to know if we're a fit.
If you’ve read this far, something in these words has resonated.
Maybe it was Jamie’s story - the throat that closed, the wolf shout that opened it, the €10,000 pitch that would have been impossible three months earlier.
Maybe it was seeing your patterns named clearly: The Throat Closer. The Over-Deliverer. The Invisible One. The boom-bust cycles. The endless people-pleasing.
Maybe it was the realisation that you’ve been trying to solve a nervous system problem with business tactics - and that’s why nothing has stuck.
Whatever brought you here - you’re here. And that matters.
So let me show you exactly what working together looks like.
It’s the truth about what we do, how it works, and whether it’s right for you, without the hype.
The Problem You’re Actually Solving
You’re technically brilliant. Your work is exceptional. Your clients love you.
But your business doesn’t reflect your skill level.
You’re undercharging by thousands per project. You’re overdelivering to exhaustion. Your throat closes during pricing conversations. You hide instead of being visible. You manage everyone’s comfort except your own.
You’ve tried tactics. You’ve read the books. You’ve taken the courses. You’ve hired coaches.
But here’s what you’ve learned: knowing what to do doesn’t mean you can do it.
Because the block isn’t knowledge. It’s nervous system.
Your body learned early that:
Being seen isn’t safe
Asking for what you need leads to rejection
Staying small protects you from chaos
Managing others’ feelings matters more than stating yours
Those survival strategies worked once. They kept you safe when you had no power.
But they’re bankrupting you now.
You don’t need another pricing course. You need to rewire why your body treats business actions like threats.
The Solution: Parallel Processing
Most coaches do inner work OR outer work.
Therapists process your past. Business coaches build your future.
But neither alone creates sustainable change.
Inner work without outer work = feeling better but not earning more
Outer work without inner work = knowing what to do but not being able to do it
You need both. In parallel. At the same time.
That’s what The Return Plan: Core does.
While you’re processing why your throat closes (inner), we’re building your revenue architecture (outer).
While you’re reconnecting with what energizes you (inner), we’re identifying your ideal client and competitive positioning (outer).
While you’re practicing embodied truth-speaking (inner), we’re preparing your client pitch strategy (outer).
One feeds the other. That’s why it works.
The 12-Week Journey: 3 Phases
Over 12 weeks of intensive 1:1 strategic and somatic support, we move through three distinct phases.
PHASE 1: Timeline Deep Dive
Sessions 1-3 | Weeks 1-6
What we’re doing: Mapping what shaped your entrepreneurial path, identifying patterns running under the surface, and clearing space for what wants to emerge.
Session 1: What Made You Who You Are
We start with your body, not your business plan.
I’ll ask: When you think about premium pricing, where does your body contract? Throat? Belly? Chest?
Then we track it back to identify the survival patterns still running your business:
The one who stays small to stay safe (Invisible)
The one who manages everyone’s feelings (People Pleaser)
The one who over-delivers hoping to be enough (Over-Deliverer)
The one who recreates chaos because stability feels wrong (Boom-Buster)
These aren’t personality flaws. They’re adaptations. And they’re costing you money.
Session 2: When You Were Actually Alive
Now we map the opposite - when you were in pure flow, genuinely energized, not performing or managing.
Through guided somatic work, you reconnect with your voice (throat), your power (belly), your authentic expression (chest).
You practice speaking your truth without managing how it lands.
We also secure your financial baseline during this phase - so your nervous system can stop operating in pure survival mode and start making strategic choices.
Session 3: Your Patterns + Real Connection
We work with boom/bust cycles (if present), identify what genuine connection feels like vs. performance, and prepare for real-world application.
By the end of Phase 1:
You have awareness of your specific patterns
Somatic tools to work with them
A sense of what alignment feels like
Financial baseline stability
Readiness for practical implementation
PHASE 2: Human Blueprint
Session 4 | Week 7-8
What we’re doing: Using Human Design and Gene Keys to show you what you’re actually built for - not what you’ve been conditioned to do.
This isn’t personality typing. This is understanding your body’s natural decision-making process, your energetic signature, and the journey from shadow patterns to gifts.
We explore:
How your energy actually works (and why “hustle mode” might deplete you)
Your natural strategy for decisions (not what gurus tell you)
Your life’s work theme (the throughline of what you’re here to do)
The specific shadows blocking you and the gifts they’re protecting
Jamie’s insight: He discovered he’s designed to wait for right invitations, not force opportunities. Suddenly his “failure” to chase clients made sense - he was working against his design.
This isn’t prescriptive (”you must do X”). It’s descriptive (”this is how your system naturally operates”).
It’s a mirror showing you what’s already true so you can stop fighting yourself.
PHASE 3: Inner/Outer Work Integration
Sessions 5-8 | Weeks 9-12
What we’re doing: Engineering your new reality on both levels - grounded business strategy paired with embodied nervous system shifts.
Session 5: Business Reality + Revenue Architecture
Brutal honesty about your business:
What are you actually selling?
Who paid you and why?
What work energised you vs. drained you?
Where does your throat close in the sales process?
We build:
Your revenue architecture (path to your monthly target)
Your competitive advantage
Service offerings for next 90 days
Market positioning that doesn’t require hiding
And we practice: Saying your new prices out loud. Noticing where it catches. Working with that until your system can hold it.
Session 6: Market Positioning + Pricing Embodiment
Deep dive on your ideal client, value articulation, and pricing structure.
Heavy embodiment practice:
Stating prices without “but I can be flexible”
Sitting with objections without immediately problem-solving
Holding silence after stating your price
Working with the urge to discount
Session 7: Client Acquisition + Real-World Application
By now you have real opportunities in motion.
We work on:
Outreach strategy aligned with your design
Sales conversations from presence, not performance
Handling objections without collapsing
Processing wins and blocks in real-time
Jamie’s breakthrough happened here: “They’re letting me direct this. It felt really good being myself. Being truthful. Not performing.”
The price point? What would have closed his throat three months earlier. But he’d practiced. His nervous system had built capacity.
Session 8: Integration + Sustainability
Review what shifted (inner and outer). Build your 6-month roadmap with nervous system support baked in. Establish practices so old patterns don’t run you again.
The goal: You can do this yourself going forward. You have the tools, know your patterns, and can catch yourself early.

What You Walk Away With
After 12 weeks of strategic and somatic support:
Internally:
A nervous system that doesn’t betray you in client conversations
A voice that can ask for what you’re worth without apologizing
Tools to catch old patterns before they sabotage you
Reconnection with what actually energizes you (your compass)
Embodied capacity to hold premium pricing
Externally:
Clear revenue pathway (who, what, how much, when)
Service offerings designed for your energy and the market
Pricing you can state confidently without throat closing
Market positioning that doesn’t require you to hide
Real clients and real revenue (like Jamie’s results)
Most importantly:
The ability to do this yourself going forward. To catch yourself when patterns activate. To choose differently in real-time. To keep building without dependence on me.
That’s the goal. Not endless coaching. Integration.
Is This For You?
This work is for you if:
✓ You’re technically skilled but significantly undercharging/underearning
✓ You know something deeper is blocking you (not just tactics)
✓ You’re willing to feel uncomfortable to get free
✓ You want both the inner shifts AND the business results
✓ You’re ready to stop performing and start being yourself
✓ You can commit to 12 weeks of showing up honestly
✓ You have runway to invest in yourself (time + money)
✓ You’re emotionally intelligent and solution-aware (you’ve tried surface approaches)
✓ You’re ready for integrated transformation (not quick fixes)
This work is NOT for you if:
✗ You want quick fixes without doing inner work
✗ You’re looking for another marketing framework or sales tactic
✗ You’re not ready to be honest about your patterns
✗ You need hand-holding without personal responsibility
✗ You want tactics without addressing what sabotages them
✗ You’re currently in crisis mode (need immediate income this month)
✗ You’re looking for someone to fix you without your active participation
Be honest with yourself: Which list do you belong to?
What Happens Next
If this resonates and you’re ready to explore working together, here’s the process:
Step 1: Book Your Free 30-Minute Clarity Call
This isn’t a sales pitch. It’s a real conversation to see if we’re aligned.
We’ll discuss:
Where you are now (honest assessment)
Where you want to be (realistic vision)
What’s blocking you (pattern identification)
Whether this approach is right for you (honest evaluation)
I only work with people I know I can help. This call is to determine if we’re a fit - for both of us.
Early Bird Deadline: Friday, November 21st (€333 savings)
Step 2: Decision Time
If we’re aligned, I’ll send you:
Formal program agreement
Payment options and invoice
Welcome packet with pre-work
You decide. No pressure. Just clarity.
Step 3: Pre-Work
Before Session 1, you’ll complete:
Timeline reflection questions
Self-awareness assessment
Human Design + Gene Keys chart generation
This ensures we hit the ground running in Week 1.
Step 4: Session 1
We begin. You show up. We do the work.
Common Questions
“Can I do this while working full-time?”
Yes. Most clients do. Sessions are bi-weekly (every 2 weeks) and scheduled around your availability. Homework is 2-3 hours per week - manageable alongside full-time work.
“What if I need to reschedule a session?”
48-hour notice required. We’ll find a new time that works. Life happens - we’ll work with it.
“What if I don’t vibe with Human Design / Gene Keys?”
That’s fine. It’s one tool among many. If it doesn’t resonate, we focus more on somatic work and business strategy. The framework is flexible.
“How do I know this will work for me?”
You don’t. That’s the truth. What I can tell you: This works when you show up honestly, do the homework, take action despite resistance. It doesn’t work when you intellectualize, skip practices, or resist discomfort.
The work works. The question is: will you work with it?
“Can I get a refund if it’s not working?”
After Session 2, we’ll check in. If we’re both clear this isn’t the right fit, I’ll refund 50% and we’ll part ways. No hard feelings. But you need to show up for those first 2 sessions to make that evaluation.
“What timezone are you in?”
Portugal (GMT/WET). I work with clients across Europe, UK, and US East Coast regularly. We’ll find times that work for both of us.
“Do you offer payment plans?”
Yes - 2 or 3 payments as outlined above. Payment plans require first payment before Session 1.
My Commitment to You
Here’s what I promise:
I will show up fully. Every session. Every voice note. Every response. You get my complete presence.
I will tell you the truth. Even when it’s uncomfortable. Even when you don’t want to hear it. Especially then.
I will hold you accountable. To your commitments. To your homework. To doing the thing you say you want.
I will not let you stay small. When you try to hide, over-explain, or apologize for existing - I’ll call it. With respect, but directly.
I will work with what shows up. If your pattern activates during our work together, we process it in real-time. The work happens in the work.
Here’s What I Need From You
Show up honestly. No stories, just truth. Raw is better than polished.
Do the homework. The practices matter. The integration happens between sessions.
Take action despite fear. You’ll know what to do and your body will scream no. Do it anyway (with support).
Trust the process. It will feel slow sometimes. Too internal. Not tactical enough. Trust it.
Choose yourself. Not your patterns. Not your excuses. Not your fear. You.
The Real Question
You’ve read 7 articles. You know the problem. You understand the solution. You’ve seen what’s possible.
So here’s what it comes down to:
Are you ready to stop negotiating with your patterns?
Are you done explaining why it’s hard while staying stuck?
Are you willing to feel uncomfortable for 12 weeks to get free?
Because here’s the truth:
The patterns won’t go away on their own.
The throat won’t suddenly open because you read another article.
The revenue won’t magically increase while you keep undercharging.
Something has to change.
The question is: are you ready to be the thing that changes?
Two Paths Forward
Path 1: Stay where you are
Keep undercharging. Keep overdelivering. Keep hiding. Keep managing everyone’s feelings but your own.
Stay safe. Stay small. Stay stuck.
In 12 months, you’ll be here again. Reading another article. Hoping this time will be different.
Path 2: Do the work
12 weeks. Both inner and outer. Nervous system and business strategy.
Feel the uncomfortable feelings. Speak the truth anyway. Ask for what you’re worth. Stop apologising for existing.
In 12 months? You’re charging properly. Your throat stays open. Your business reflects your skill.
Both are valid choices.
But only one leads somewhere different than where you are now.
Book Your Clarity Call

One Last Thing
The version of you that can do this already exists.
They’re just trapped behind the patterns keeping you small.
They’re the one who disappeared into flow doing what they love.
They’re the one who dreamed big before someone said “be realistic.”
They’re the one with exceptional skill who keeps hiding it.
That version is still in there.
This work doesn’t make you someone new.
It helps you remember who you were before you learned to hide.
And then it gives that version of you permission to show up in your business.
That’s the return.
Are you ready?
