Life is so imperfect. And beautiful.
If we are to really live – abundantly – we need to make space for messy. We need to embrace the truth that life can be really hard, challenging, scary, and painful – but also a beautiful adventure.
We get to decide who and how we want to be in the world and how we’ll show up to life.
“Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.” — Viktor Frankl
The Brave & Beautiful Membership Community is one way that we can gather together and make space.
It’s a place for you to receive evidence-based education & encouragement to help you learn and practice the tools, mindset shifts, and habits that help us live mind-body healthy and show up fully – with joy and purpose – to our imperfect & beautiful lives.

Imagine being part of a private community to talk about the things that truly matter to you
We’ll begin the new year talking about building a sustainable and “right-sized” life of purpose, health & JOY:
Instead of drifting, following status-quo, or trying to keep up and measure up, we can identify our top values and priorities for this season of life and ensure that any goals we set flow out of these. We’ll work on crafting a life vision to work toward but then loosening our grip on a particular outcome. Instead, we’ll focus on the weekly and daily habits/practices/behaviors that have the biggest positive impact on our life. This helps us build resilience and confidence in our ability to do hard things; we build resilience as we take responsibility for that which we can control in life.
Together we will examine information around healthy habit formation, productivity, how to show up through procrastination, and how to quiet the noise of perfectionism, comparison, and fear.
We need to take an honest look at where (and who) we are, where we want to go or how we choose to be in the world and be willing to let go of what no longer serves us. We’ll talk about what it means to live “on purpose” vs finding “a purpose.” We’ll learn about how setting healthy boundaries, learning to use our voice, and living mindfully helps us stay the course.
“Finding you and your courses have been life-giving for me. I feel like it is a debt I will never be able to repay.” — Roxanne R
A monthly roadmap and dedicated guide just for you
Each month we walk through the following structure as we dive into our new topic and apply the work to our lives.:
Week One// WHY
I’ll introduce the topic of the month and WHY it matters; we’ll examine our experience and thoughts about it, any compelling research, and we’ll get honest about where we’re at. Self-awareness is essential to sustainable and healthy growth.
Week Two // WHAT
We’ll start talking about WHAT we want for ourselves in this area (we’ll establish personal goals and intentions) while staying grounded in self-compassion and I’ll offer ideas for WHAT we can do to grow and begin practicing the concepts for the month.
Week Three // HOW
We’ll get more specific about HOW to apply the habits, tools, mindset shifts or the practical application of ideas (and how to sustain positive change) and we’ll address issues or resistance that come up; this is about taking imperfect action to move closer to who and how we choose to be in the world.
Week Four // Rest & Reflect
We need time to synthesize and notice what’s showing up for us, and we need time for actual rest. This week also allows time to catch up on videos or work from the previous weeks if you want it. You’ll receive (optional) prompts to help guide you in self-reflection and I’ll provide additional resource recommendations for further exploration.

“I have loved Krista’s blog posts for years and now her written resources and the membership community. She has an incredible gift not only of words but also of really seeing into the struggles common to so many women. Krista doesn’t just leave us to struggle—she helps find a way to shift our mindset, look at our circumstances differently and help us find joy and celebrate the win, no matter how small. She is patient, knowledgeable and caring. The resources she writes are life-giving to me. I find myself learning something profoundly new and helpful each time I go through the materials. I have worked with her privately in the past and now I am enjoying the Brave and Beautiful membership community. Krista facilitates a safe space for people to share concerns and celebrates our joy and successes. The women in the group are supportive and helpful. They are the best cheerleaders. No one wants to leave anyone in struggle; however, no one forces anything.” — Teresa C
Building meaningful relationships
Coaching calls will be offered via FB Lives – Showing up live is absolutely not required as replays will be available to watch or listen to when you’re ready.
I’ll be open to helping members form “listening partnerships” (kind of a buddy or support system for members who would love a monthly or biweekly call with someone who will listen and encourage) with each other but this will depend on the interest of the group. While I’ll be leading the group, I hope you’ll build a relationship with other members and glean encouragement and wisdom from each other as well.
As a community, we gather inside a private Facebook group (Facebook is required to join) – this is where you’ll receive your monthly PDF, applicable worksheets, join the FB lives (or watch the replays), ask me questions, and initiate dialogue with other members.
“I feel like this group has already helped me start living my own life, and for that, I thank you all!” — Cindy P
Is the Brave & Beautiful Community the right fit for me?
I love this beautiful gathering of women and believe it offers a unique opportunity to learn and grow together in a kind and supportive environment. But it’s not a right-fit for everyone in every season.
The Brave & Beautiful Community is for women who:
- Are in the messy middle of life
- Are growth-minded, believe that we choose our response to life, and are tired of letting perfectionism, comparison, or fear be the boss of their life
- Are interested in mind-body wellness and want to learn, chew on ideas, grow, stretch, and who believe (or are drawn to the idea that) every season of life offers new gifts and opportunity
- Want to live with self-awareness and self-compassion and walk in quiet confidence and feel ready to take (imperfect) action to build “right-sized lives” of purpose, health, and joy
- Feel a little weary or beat-up by life and are looking for community and support to continue showing up fully – with joy and purpose – to every single day and season of life
This community is not for women who:
- Are in crisis, addiction, or newly diagnosed mental health conditions and need 1:1 professional support
- Are looking for more personal, individualized, deeper support for their health or life (although you may join the membership and also work with me 1:1)
- Are not yet ready to do the messy inner work to grow, stretch, and take personal responsibility for their response to life
- Are looking for quick or superficial fixes for their pain or struggles
- Don’t feel they can build healthy, respectful relationships with others who may come from a different viewpoint, lifestyle, or life experience
It takes courage to continue forging ahead with intention through all the ups and downs of life. To say yes to growing, stretching, becoming, and to keeping your heart soft as you go. Staying open to the beauty and gifts of life – choosing to witness and receive them – rather than staying stuck in the struggle or pain.

Before you go, I want you to know that if you don’t feel “brave and beautiful” right now – this group is exactly for you. For most of my life I felt anything but. But over time, as I learned to show up through fear and finally decided I’m good enough, I realized that I always was far braver than I realized and that I am messy, imperfect, and beautiful too. So are you.
We can choose to SAY YES to showing up fully to our imperfect & beautiful lives.
I look forward to connecting – and if you have any questions about my new community please reach out here.

“Krista’s blog simply speaks to me. It’s growth-minded, raw, & real. Sometimes I see myself living the self-care, mindfulness theme well, but other times I just want to move about my day and not overly focus on anything. I wasn’t sure about an online community because I am “offline” mostly. I feel the connectedness though! Gretchen Rubin talks honestly in her Happiness Project about how some days she doesn’t want to hold the door for that slower woman behind her. I appreciate Krista so much for continuing this journey. I really see it as her gift and thank her.” — Tara B

“I have followed Krista’s work for a couple years now. She has challenged me to see” how” I’m thinking, and that it’s OK not to be perfect in this messy life. The Brave and Beautiful Membership Community has shown me that others are also seeking answers to a messy life, while still being imperfect. I truly believe we are becoming “Community.” Thank You Krista O’Reilly Davi-Digui, for all your hard work, and leadership.” — Deb Gates
