The relationship you have with yourself is the single greatest influence on your experience of life. And it’s a relationship you have the power to nurture, strengthen, and transform.
The Brave + Beautiful Community is the space to get to know, love, and trust yourself and practice a kinder and more intentional way of being in your body and life.
You will make peace with the messiness of life to make space for joy. Enjoy healthier relationships starting with your relationship to yourself.
And you’ll build the inner strength and self-trust that allows you to let go of old beliefs and behaviours that weigh you down so you can be your True Self and walk in greater freedom, health, and joy in every season.
Summer Session is closed. Doors will open again in September. Join the waitlist for first option to join.
Or, if you prefer a self-paced way of learning or want guidance to help you create a life that is true to yourself but don’t need ongoing community, take a look at the Life Visioning Course.
Being in the B&B community and in particular working with Krista has changed my life more profoundly than all the years of therapy, self help books, podcasts, classes, religion and more. Her guidance has helped me name and lift the chains of self abandonment to provide clarity and light in the darkness that had me stuck, self destructive and joyless. She has provided me with techniques, perspective, tools for daily practice, and new pathways of thinking to enrich understanding, interaction and connection with myself, my friends, family and clients. She has helped me see ways to “rewrite” past stories that trapped and weighed me down, thrown me an anchor of clarity during “rabbit hole” thinking, and given me to permission to feel, truth tell and make changes at my own pace. Most importantly, she has opened new pathways to “freedom” — empowerment to choose how I want to be in the world and to find joy in the uncontrollable chaos of living with other humans. I am forever grateful. ❤️

What is the Brave + Beautiful Community?
The Brave and Beautiful Community is the heart of my work at A Life in Progress. It offers evidence-based tools and wise guidance, not just inspiration. A community of other women who are doing the brave work of befriending themselves and walking in greater freedom, wholeness, and joy. And it will support you in taking radical responsibility for your life so that you show up with intention, even when life is messy.
→ The B+B Community offers education and coaching to help you know and love yourself and thrive in each new season of your life. Each session provides intentional resources and group calls led by mind-body coach, Krista O’Reilly-Davi-Digui. We gather to discuss what you’re growing in and how to implement what you are learning.
As one member shared, the “work and exercises are an amazing combination of science-based research and Krista’s extensive reading and education into personal growth.”
→ The B+B Community offers several ways to receive social connection and support. Healthy community is a key part of resilience, mind-body health, life satisfaction, and joyful aging. In the community, we get to learn and grow together and also forge true, lasting friendships.
A member recently shared that she has been learning “what reciprocal, healthy friendships and relationships look and feel like.”
→ The skills and confidence members develop in the B+B Community benefit every area of their lives. When you learn to truly be on your own side, everything else feels lighter and easier. Members are changing their lives from the inside-out.
Another member shared that being in the B+B Community “has changed my life more profoundly than all the years of therapy, self help books, podcasts, classes, religion and more.”
Allow me guide you as you get to know, love, and trust yourself
I’m here to guide and support you in building skill, becoming more resourced and empowered, and deepening wisdom and self-trust.
Though no two sessions are the same, we revisit foundational practices and truths as we cycle through different seasons. You are encouraged to release urgency and pick and choose which exercises and ideas feel most meaningful to you and let go of the rest.
Over time you’ll have more opportunities to meet and practice core concepts. And to move ideas from theory into true understanding and life-giving practice.
Plan to engage with the Community at least 9 weeks per session. This allows for breathing room so you can weave the B+B into your messy and beautiful life. The community platform and extensive resource library are open year round, including during Rest Weeks / Seasonal Breaks.
Join as few or as many live calls as you choose. Joining live is NOT a requirement for a positive experience. Everything is recorded so you can engage with the work at your own pace.
Each seasonal session of the BB includes:
- MENTORING: Gather for 90-min Mentoring + Education calls (x3/month). Krista models tools/practices and supports you in applying the information to your life. You’re invited to ask questions during the calls or in the comment section of each replay, but there’s no pressure to speak. You’ll also glean courage and inspiration from other members. Join live, enjoy the video replays, or listen through our private podcast.
- EDUCATION: Receive monthly educational content that includes exercises, practices, and resources that help you befriend yourself (or know, love, trust, and be your True Self). The mentoring calls allow us to delve deeper into the growth-focus of each month. And to discuss how to apply what you are learning to your life in a meaningful way.
- BRAVE COMMUNITY: A compassionate, private group off of social media. Connect in the Home Feed of our Community to receive ongoing guidance as you move through the year. And where you connect with other members. In addition, once you’ve been a member for 3 months, you’ll have the option to join a BB Small Group to build friendships with other members.
- SEASONAL RHYTHMS + PRACTICES: I weave Rest + Integration Weeks throughout the B+B including at each seasonal break. You’ll have access to the Seasonal Living Foundations Course in addition to Friday invitations to listen inward and simple new and full moon prompts so you can build your own seasonal living practice and soul-honouring life.
- RESOURCE LIBRARY: As soon as you enter the community, you’ll receive 24/7 access to a curated Resource Library. And as a BB member, you’ll also receive an invitation to join most live workshops or bonus trainings that I offer throughout the year for free.
Is the community a great fit for you?
The B+B is likely a great fit for you if you land between 3-7 on the Growth Path.
If you’re straddling 2-3 and want to join, we must talk first to make sure you have the support you need (click here to book a call with me).
Learn, Practice, BE Your True Self + BE Present in Your Life in Summer Session
The Hope Map Graphic below provides a macro view of the core themes you’ll explore as you move through the seasons of the year. No two seasons are identical though.
In summer session you will…
July: Get to know your Past Self
- Revisit your past with compassion. Explore the beliefs, patterns, and experiences that helped shape you. Remember what used to bring you joy. Recall the parts of yourself that you’ve hidden, masked, or intentionally laid down that you want to pick back up. Next, begin to mine for the wisdom in your past that will support your freedom, growth, and next chapter of life.
- Deepen your understanding of identity and how it actively shapes your behaviour and experience of life. Does you current belief about who you are serve you? What if you’re capable of more than you think? What if your assumptions about who you are or about life are not truth but they are simply stories that were handed to you? You’re allowed to change this story starting today.
- Practice four essential skills that will shift how you see yourself and your life and will help you feel more empowered and “on purpose” in your body and life. Build a skill set you can return to again and again as you continue building a brave, soul-honouring life.
August: Get to know your Present Self
- Get to know, love, and trust your present self, your strength and your struggle. Practice being kind to and feeling proud of yourself. Explore who and what helps you feel more like your authentic self in your body and life.
- Reclaim and expand your agency or power of choice. Understand why this is essential for your freedom and joy. Give yourself permission to enjoy your life. Look for ways to let life feel simpler and easier. Further, do more of what helps you live present and happy each day. After all, this messy and beautiful day IS your real life.
- Quiet the noise and begin to let go of everything that is not authentic to you or who you are becoming. For example, this might include releasing old beliefs, habits (ex. busyness, people-pleasing), relationships, dreams, attachments, or a past version of yourself that no longer fits.
September: Cast a vision for your Future Self
- Create a simple three-year vision for who you’re becoming and where you’re heading. Identify the beliefs, behaviours, and commitments that support your intentional growth. Perfection and 100% clarity are not required because you find your way in action not before.
- Get specific about what it looks, sounds, and feels like to live as your True Self across every area of your life. Practice noticing when you experience this sense of “True Self” so you can “come home to yourself” more easily. Also understand that True Self is tied to your unique gifting and helps you live with meaning and purpose in every season.
- Being your True Self is less about doing and more about who you are being every day. In a noisy world it’s easy to lose sight of what matters to you or get disconnected from yourself. So you’ll weave simple practices into your life that keep you connected to yourself and your vision.
This is the most honest, safe, real feeling community I have ever been a part of. The Brave and Beautiful Community has provided me with an opportunity to really witness myself more clearly, more honestly and with more attention to how I use language to describe my experiences, without making myself small. I have always felt different and intense in terms of how deeply I process my experiences walking this world. Krista’s leadership and her graceful nurturing of this community of women, has given me a space to walk into without feeling that I need to hide that part of myself, even from myself! I felt instantly accepted and heard, helping me on my journey to find and express who I truly am, a highly sensitive, introverted, gentle soul with a strong need to connect on deeper levels.

Call Schedule for Summer Session
Some BB members are working professionals, others are retired or have more flexibility in their days. We live in different countries and times zones. Joining live calls is NOT a requirement.
I alternate call times between an earlier and a later time of day so most members,, even if they don’t live in North America, can join some of the live calls. However, some members prefer replays while others like to join live calls when possible.
- Option 1: 10:30 am MT // 12:30 pm ET, works for people in the UK, Europe, or South Africa (this would be early evening for you).
- Option 2: 5:30 pm MT // 7:30 pm ET, works for folks who live in the Philippines, Australia, or New Zealand (this would be Thursday morning or afternoon for you).
Summer Session begins July 13/26. Here’s the Summer call schedule. Joining live is optional. Call replays are available in video and through our private BB podcast.
Thrive forward in every season
The Brave + Beautiful Community offers four unique sessions each year. What you learn in one session supports the next. The work we do in the BB is not about “quick fixes” but about deep, powerful, and sustainable shifts in how we think or see, feel, and experience life.
Many members stay for years because of the ongoing benefit to their lives. We revisit and go deeper into certain core concepts and practices but no two seasons are identical. The live calls and other ways you can engage with the material and other members (including myself) offer you abundant opportunity to learn, grow, and practice a kinder way of being in your body and life.
You’re willing to invest in your wellbeing. You have the capacity to show up and practice. You’re ready to stop deferring joy and start living with intention now.
For less than the cost of a monthly 90-minute massage, you will receive education, coaching, and compassionate community that will help you truly know, love, and trust yourself, be on your own side, and live with far greater freedom, wholeness, and joy.
Receive 2 months free when you pay in full for the year. And get 4 months free when you choose the Deep Dive option.
*Your payment and registration indicates acceptance of the disclaimer & terms of use (including the refund policy). Prices are in USD and subject to change. Canadians: I pay your sales tax for you and you can save an additional 5% when you e-transfer (pay in full option only). Talk to me about Canadian pricing.
5 Gifts of the Brave + Beautiful Membership Community
Here are 5 gifts that you will receive from being a member.
1. You’ll Finally Give Yourself Permission to Prioritize Your Wellbeing Without Guilt
This Community helps you claim the time, space, and resources you need to care for yourself—not as a luxury, but as essential. You’ll learn to say no kindly but without apology, tell the truth about what is and is not working well for you, and trust that rest and joy aren’t selfish. Members describe making “choices every day to speak more kindly to myself” and learning that “putting myself first” is the foundation for showing up well everywhere else.
2. You’ll Build Practical Skills That Create Real, Sustainable Change
You won’t just learn about self-compassion, boundary-setting, or how to live your core values. You’ll practice them with modeling and support. The work is evidence-based and practical. As one member shared: “I’m growing healthier by leaps and bounds—recognizing boundaries, asking for help, accepting my limitations, saying no, and letting go of old beliefs.” This is skill-building that sticks.
3. You’ll Make Steady Progress at Your Own Pace (Without Pressure or Perfectionism)
The B+B meets you where you are and supports you in practicing consistent “imperfect-action” that is rooted in self-compassion. You’ll learn to honor your wiring and capacity while still moving forward through the messiness of real life. Members report “steady, tangible, visible progress without any over-the-top pressure” and feeling “empowered and proud” as they practice showing up imperfectly but on purpose.
4. You’ll Experience True Belonging with Women Who Get It
This isn’t surface-level community. You’ll connect with other brave, growth-minded women who are also doing the deep work. In the B+B you are seen and heard, and there’s no pressure to mask or perform. There is no-hustle culture mentality here. Members are diverse and learn to love their unique wiring and gifting. As members describe it: “This community keeps you thriving and anchored” and “feels like coming home.”
5. You’ll Transform How You See and Show Up for Yourself
This is where the deepest work happens as you practice being on your own side. Whether you’re learning to pause between impulse and impulse or gently challenge automatic assumptions so you can see new options. Or you’re shifting away from old self-protective patterns into healthier and more hopeful ways of being. Or still yet, as you’re learning to mine for the beauty and wisdom in each experience and life season, your experience of life will not be the same as it was before participating in the B+B Community. Members describe feeling “immensely empowered,” and experiencing life “filled with much happiness and joy.”
FAQs: The Brave + Beautiful Community
Who is the B+B best suited for?
My work centers around the needs and experiences of women in their 40s, 50s, and 60s. Some women in their early 70s also feel right at home here. I can help you discern if the community is a great-fit for you - book a free chat with me to discuss.
The content is a mix of evidence-base, inspiration, and practical application. If you’re a growth-minded and/or curious human, or a questioner, you’ll probably love it here.
As member Valerie writes, “for people who like to learn, there is nothing better. Krista’s work and exercises are an amazing combination of science-based research and her extensive reading and education into personal growth.”
I’m a strong introvert, a Highly Sensitive Person, and stubborn questioner with rebel leanings. I'm an ISFJ (often mistaken for an IN) and an Enneagram 1. Freedom, integrity, and curiosity are my top three values.
Brave + Beautiful Community members come from different corners of the world and include medical professionals, academics, coaches, creatives, entrepreneurs, and more.
Many members (not all) are highly sensitive or non-hustlers (or have paid the cost of hustle-culture) seeking an intentional, sustainable, or soul-honouring life.
Is the B+B an inclusive space?
I want to help create a kinder, safer world that does a far better job of honouring the beauty of diversity in its varied shapes and forms instead of trying to squish us all into a joy-crushing and sometimes life-threatening box. I believe in the incredible beauty of and need for diversity.
My work focuses on the needs and experiences of women in their 40s, 50s, and 60s. Some women join in their late 30s and others stay into their early 70s.
Members of the LGBTQIA+ community who relate to, and feel they will be served by the work we do in the B+B Community, are welcome.
Content is offered as a mix of audio/video/print materials. Closed captioning is available during live Zoom calls and on video replays.
Many members are highly sensitive or neurodivergent.
My husband is West-African, an immigrant to Canada, English is his third language, our children biracial, and I come from a multi-cultural family. I am committed to anti-racism and culturally responsive work. I'm always learning and in progress.
Two of my kids are/were bisexual (I share this with permission). Several other members also have kids who belong to the LGBTQIA+ community or otherwise don't fit and neat and tidy into the tiny prescribed boxes of our culture. This isn't a group about parenting, but we get to bring our full selves, experience, and values to the table.
Spirituality or faith is important to many B+B members. Others are disentangling themselves from cultural and religious conditioning to walk in greater freedom, health and joy.
The BB is a weight-neutral space but I do not have formal training in this area. We don't believe that freedom, wholeness, or joy comes from squishing ourselves into a one-sized-fits-all (soul-crushing) box. Some members have eating disorders and I have a past of disordered eating. Because we talk about cultural conditioning and learning to feel safe, at home, and joyful in our bodies and lives, at times the conversation may include mention of building a safe and trusting friendship with our Self (including our body) and members may mention their personal experience or struggle.
I'm navigating grief/ trauma/ struggle. Can I join?
That depends.
If you see yourself somewhere in steps 3-7 of this growth map (shared earlier on this sales page), the B+B is likely a good fit. If you see yourself in step 2, it may be a good fit but we should talk first about your support system. And if you are in step 1, then the community is not a right-fit for you in this season. I recommend that you focus on one-on-one support.
I encourage all members to build a healthy support system - we need social support and social connection for wellbeing.
If you're in crisis or in the first year of a traumatic loss, the B+B is not a right-fit. I encourage you to prioritize professional care that is specific to your experience/needs. For example, this might include trauma therapy, a grief circle or grief coaching, and possibly medical care.
Many members are learning to honour their wiring and capacity as they live with chronic mental or physical health challenges or care for family members who struggle with their mental and/or physical health. Many have a history of trauma or loss including suicide loss; my son died by suicide in 2019. I offer grief and trauma-informed mentoring and education. However, this is not a space for delving into individual experiences of trauma and grief.
How much time is required? What if my life feels busy?
Life is full. A common issue amongst midlife women is self-abandonment or neglecting our needs while pouring out for everyone else. You can absolutely make space for the BB in your full (or even busy) life though you'll need to prioritize your wellbeing and intentionally make and guard the space on your calendar.
Having said that, you are welcome to join even if all you do is attend the live calls or listen to replays. This alone will make a positive difference in your life. I feel confident saying this after 6 years of running this community.
You can’t fall behind. Everything is designed around real life: replays, private podcast, seasonal rhythms, and built-in rest weeks. Engage at the speed of safety. Consistency—not intensity—creates the transformation.
You are encouraged to pick and choose which of the exercises feel most interesting to you. You don't have to do every single exercise.
We celebrate small steps and imperfect action here.
If you have capacity for calls plus some exploration/reflection, commit to 2.5-3 hours most weeks, or 25-35 hours/session, spread out according to your lifestyle and capacity.
If you commit to staying with us at least a year, you'll be able to go deeper into the work, slow and steady. If you know you're only staying one session, you might want to dedicate more time upfront.
Fro members who have greater capacity and freedom in the season you're in, you can easily do more and deep dive into the module, the podcast, and the Resource Library.
Do I get 1:1 Access to Krista?
When you join the Brave + Beautiful Community you do not get 1:1 access to Krista.
If this is what you're looking for, you can choose 1:1 coaching instead of the Community. Or, the Deep Dive Option combines the B+B Community with private coaching sessions.
Krista leads the live mentoring + education calls and engages in the online community several times a week to offer reflection prompts, answer your questions, and read your key takeaways.
When are the calls and what if I can't join live?
Joining live is not essential; calls are recorded. You can listen to replays through our private podcast or watch the video replays inside our online community.
Some people love joining live calls while others prefer to listen/watch to the replays at their own pace. I often prefer replays.
DOWNLOAD THE SCHEDULE: the PDF is available under the Call Schedule heading.
Coaching + Education Calls
I live in North America. Weekly mentoring calls are on Wednesdays. These 90-minute calls alternate between 10:30 am MT (that's 12:30 pm ET and 6:30 pm in the UK) and 5:30 pm MT (that's 7:30 pm ET and Thursday morning in the southern hemisphere) so most people can make at least some of the calls live, if they want to.
You are truly welcome to pop in for even part of the calls, bring your supper, keep your camera on or off - whatever allows you to join in, when you want to.
While most members are in North America, I've welcomed many members from the southern hemisphere as well as from the UK and Europe. I alternate call times. The early time works best for people in the UK and Europe. The later time works best for members in the southern hemisphere (call times will be Wed evening for me, Thursday morning for you if you live in the southern hemisphere).
Notes
- Daylight savings time (for me) begins on March 9, 2025 and ends November 2, 2025. This may affect call times in your time zone.
- There are extra/optional calls offered and they vary in day and time. For example, the (optional) monthly connection call is currently held on a Friday at 2 pm MT.
What's your refund policy? Do you offer scholarships?
I do not offer refunds so it's important to be mindful about your choice to join. When you join it's for a minimum six month commitment, even if you choose the payment plan option. I highly recommend a one-year commitment, though.
To create a felt-sense of safety for all members, I don't offer month-to-month membership. As such, when you join, you do so with a minimum six-month commitment/one season.
If you aren’t sure about joining, you can schedule a free zoom chat with me or take a workshop to get to know my voice and personality, read more of my writing, read about my path, or listen to my podcast. I also encourage you to read some of the testimonials of other members (see the bottom of this page).
I offer a three-week upgrade runway. This means that you can join for 6 months if that feels most comfortable to you, participate for a while to make sure you love it, and then in the first three weeks upgrade to a longer-term commitment. This lets you take advantage of the cost-savings and other benefits of a full-year (or full year plus coaching) commitment without urgency.
Partial Scholarships
10%+ of the spaces in the B+B are offered through partial scholarships. These are based on an honour system. If you take a spot that you could pay full price for, this is preventing someone else from receiving the support they truly need. The minimum scholarship amount is $65 USD/mos. But I ask that you offer an amount in between $65 and the regular price of $125 according to your financial ability.
Partial scholarship spaces are NOT available every session since members often stay longer than one session. If space is open this will be indicated in the pricing and registration area. You're always welcome to email me and ask.
Partial scholarship spaces are NOT available for people choosing not to exercise their earning power, living off of savings, in university or studying, launching a new therapy or coaching practice, retired with a pension or investments, those who own their home, or have money for travel, etc. Partial scholarships are not available to people in dual income households.
What are the tech requirements for joining?
You need an internet connection, email address, an electronic device (preferably an iPad, laptop, or desktop), and a notebook, pen, and binder to collect resources (if you choose to print them).
You'll want a way to save the materials (for example, you might want to save everything in a google folder). Access to a printer is helpful though not a requirement.
There's an app for your phone, for both iOS and Android. Some find the community easier to use/navigate on a laptop or desktop. It depends on your comfort level. It's nice to have both.
We use Zoom for calls and workshops. Closed captioning of live calls and on video replays is available.
For members who like audio replays, we have a private podcast. You can subscribe and listen on your favourite podcast player just like any other podcast. Or you have the option of watching video replays inside the community.
The B+B is hosted off of social media, on a platform called Circle. Social media is not used as apart of the BB Community.
You will receive a weekly email that includes reminders of what's coming that week and a link to listen to the previous audio replay. The weekly email also includes the core content we're working on that week; you can download and print directly from the email.
Once you're a member, you can watch a short video that shows you where to find things in the community. And there's a community support person available to help you out if you get stuck or can't find something.
I have a different question. Can I talk to you?
Absolutely. Reach out here and we'll set up a time to talk.
I have been a member of Krista’s Brave and Beautiful community for over two years, and it has become one of the anchor points in my life. Regardless of how busy/stressful life is, it is a community I know I can return to pressure-free, to connect with women at all stages of life (…) For people who like to learn, there is nothing better. Krista’s work and exercises are an amazing combination of science-based research and her extensive reading and education into personal growth. In a word, I would describe the B and B community as a place of richness—of endless opportunities to grow and explore, and in connections with like-minded women.
V.G.
This community gave me permission to put myself first without guilt. You don’t have to be perfect or have it all figured out to fit in – just showing up is enough. It’s a safe place to be honest about what’s hard and to be celebrated for even the smallest wins. You’ll find women here who understand the tenderness of midlife and who are rooting for you. It’s not about doing more, it’s about learning to live with intention and compassion.
T.M.
Krista in an amazing teacher, mentor and model for living life on purpose, and it doesn’t hurt that she is enthusiastic about rest and giving yourself a break. I have learned so much from Krista and from finding myself through practicing with this community. The BB is an opportunity to return to focusing on the basics of taking care of me. I love when we return to the same building blocks (fundamental concepts/ worksheets) because it helps me understand that this is not complicated overwhelming work filled with lots of skills I have to master. It’s a steady process of turning toward and relearning the basics of being me in this world.
L.P.
I am truly enjoying the Brave & Beautiful Community and I am so glad that I joined for an entire year. I didn’t realize how much my self-critic was driving my life. I just really felt seen and heard from the start and perhaps that has been my favorite part, the thing I needed most. I joined this community for the skill building, mentoring and education to dive deep within myself to excavate the emotions I have stuffed down into myself over the years. What I didn’t realize when I joined is that I would find a community of like minded women my age that are going through some of the same struggles that I am.
B. C.
I want to thank Krista for literally opening up my world. I joined the B&B Community at a time when my anxiety and chronic health issues were my entire life, and my “real life” was going to start after I was “fixed”. Well after being in this group for over a year, my health issues and anxiety are still a part of my life but no longer my whole world. Krista’s wisdom has changed the way I move in the world. Using imperfect action, and knowing that I’m not broken, and that healing takes place in community, has made this last year my most joyous and grounded year that I’ve had in over a decade.
R.F.
My relationship with myself is still a work in progress, but I’d say that I’m learning how tired I am, how overworked I am, and how little respect I’ve shown for my capacity, limits and wiring. The biggest growth area for me has been boundaries. To someone who wants change but is nervous about joining… The B+B can be as much or as little as you want it to be. It can be super low commitment if all you do is watch the replays and never take a single note. And it can be total life transformation if you really dig in deep and commit to all the replays, workshops and exercises. It’s a warm, gentle, compassionate and honest group of women who are all growing together. I’ve been so amazed by how ‘here for me’ people have been. It really is a community. It’s the community I didn’t realize I wanted and needed. I’m so grateful to be here.
M.W.
After retiring last June, I started paying more attention to topics I found interesting, one of which was the B+B community and the idea of seasonal living. I rather impulsively (for me!) decided to join and then paid for a whole year! I am enjoying the modules and articles and exercises very much. I am actually doing the work, spending the time to think through my life and experiences that have made me who I am. I like attending the Zoom calls and hearing feedback from other strong women who are coming into their own, working through difficult situations and discovering their strengths. I am very happy to have found you and this community you have started.
