Things women told us in our interviews.

Everyone else is moving forward. So why am I still stuck?

“I've applied to so many jobs, I've stopped counting. And half the time, I don't even get a response.”

“I know I need to network, but I'm terrified. I have no idea what to say or what I can ask for.”

“What if I regret it? I don't want to spend more time and more money and then realize this was all a big mistake.”

Sound familiar?

You don’t have to figure this out alone.

StartHer Method helps you understand where you’re stuck, decide what to try next, take a real step, and move forward with confidence.

You’ll start trusting your own judgement because you made a choice, took action, and learned from it.

A live, two-part workshop

Two sessions. One real-life step in between.

Part 1 helps you choose a direction and prepare to act.

Part 2 helps you reflect on the action you took, start building your track record, and decide what to do next.

Part 1, live · October 6, 2026 · 12 to 1:30 pm ET

Get clear on what matters to you and choose your next step

Identify your values and your goals. Choose one next step and practice it in a safe space.

The seven days in between

The part that makes StartHer different happens here.

Try your next step in real life. Stay connected in the group chat to ask questions, get support, and share what happens.

Part 2, live · October 13, 2026 · 12 to 1:30 pm ET

Turn what you learned into a plan

Reflect on what happened, what you learned, and what you want to do next. Build a plan outlining your next steps.

What Changes From Here

After Part 2, you’ll leave with:

More clarity about what you want

A clearer sense of what matters to you and one direction you want to explore next.

A plan you can act on

Choose one next step, try it in real life, and apply what you learned to decide what comes next.

More trust in yourself

Self-trust grows when you make a choice, take action, and see that you can learn and keep going - even without certainty.

A supportive community

Connect with women facing similar questions and stay connected through the StartHer Method Network as you navigate what comes next.

Two PhDs, two perspectives, one practical way forward.

We’ve lived it, researched it, and supported women through it.

We bring two perspectives to the same challenge: how to make a decision and move forward when you don’t have all the answers.

You’re joining the StartHer Method Network.

As part of our founding community, you will help us shape what we build from here. We’ll invite you to tell us what supported you, what you want more of, and what would help you next.

What’s included

Everything that comes with your spot.

  • Two live sessions with Alex and Maya

    Three hours of live facilitation across two 90-minute sessions. This is a live workshop, not a recorded course.

  • Your Starting Point

    A short form you fill in before we meet, so the first session starts with your situation instead of a general topic.

  • Your Workshop Toolkit

    Every worksheet and handout from both sessions, yours to keep and reuse whenever you are deciding something.

  • Your 7-Day Action Plan

    The personalized tool that carries you from deciding to doing in the week between the two sessions.

  • Your One-to-One Next Steps Call

    Thirty minutes of private time with Alex or Maya to close out what you took on, what you learned, and what comes after.

  • Three months in the StartHer Method Network

    Ongoing support after the workshop, alongside women taking their own next steps and sharing leads, ideas, resources and introductions.

Questions, answered

What you might be wondering

I don’t even know where to start. How will this help?

That is exactly where the workshop begins. You do not need to arrive with a plan. In Part 1, we’ll help you sort through what is on your mind, identify what matters to you, and choose one direction to explore.

What if I don’t trust myself to make the right decision?

You are not being asked to make one perfect decision about your whole future. You’ll choose one direction to test, take a manageable action, and learn from it. Self-trust grows when you see that you can make a choice, respond to what happens, and adjust.

Everyone my age seems fine. Am I the only one struggling?

No. This workshop is for women navigating a stage that can feel surprisingly lonely: trying to make important decisions without the structure and direction university once provided. You’ll be in a group with women who understand that feeling.

What if I spend the money and nothing changes?

No workshop can choose your future for you. What makes this one different is that you will not leave with only notes. You’ll take action between the sessions, return with real information, and use it to build your plan. The goal is not a perfect answer. It is meaningful movement you can learn from.

Workshop details

Will I have to speak in front of the group?

You’ll be invited to participate, but you do not need polished answers and you will not be expected to perform. We’ll guide the conversation and give you time to decide what you want to share.

What if I cannot attend both sessions?

Part 2 builds directly on what you do after Part 1, so please plan to attend both sessions. If something unexpected happens after you register, email us and we’ll talk it through with you.

What happens after Part 2?

You’ll have three months in the StartHer Method Network, where you can stay connected with the founding StartHer community. We’ll also invite you to book your One-to-One Next Steps Call, thirty minutes with Alex or Maya to talk through what you learned and what comes next. And we’ll ask you what support you need next so your experience can help shape what StartHer builds from here.

What do I need to participate?

Bring a notebook or notes app, somewhere you can join the live sessions, and a willingness to try something between them. You do not need to arrive with a plan.

What is the cancellation or refund policy?

Registrations are non-refundable because this is a small, live workshop. If something unexpected affects your ability to attend, email us at hello@starthermethod.com and we’ll talk through your circumstances with you.
