28 days · Four weeks, live · Starts with a free webinar

After the Diagnosis:
The First 28 Days

Cancer. MS. Autoimmune. Whatever the name is, the diagnosis takes you out of your life and drops you somewhere you have never been. For the first 28 days, you do not walk it alone. Four live sessions, a guide who knows the terrain, and people walking the same ground.

Small group, on purpose. We go through everything in the free webinar first.

A diagnosis does not ask. One phone call, one sentence in a doctor's office, and you are taken out of your old life and set down in a deep, dark forest. No map. No path. A language you do not speak. Things moving in the dark that you cannot name yet. And everyone back home means well and has no idea where you are.

What is missing is not courage. It is a guide. Someone who has a map of this forest, the medical system. Someone who walks next to you, names what is moving in the dark, knows which of the things growing here will feed you and which will poison you: the miracle cures, the well-meant advice, the 3 a.m. internet spirals. Someone who speaks the language of this place.

We will not pretend 28 days gets you out of the forest. It does not. But there is a difference between being lost and knowing your way. That difference takes about four weeks to learn.

What this is

Four weeks. One theme per week, taught live. One live session per week. And a team that works inside medicine and has lived the other side of it: as patients, as caregivers, in real loss.

We will not tell you it happens for a reason. We will not tell you to stay positive. We will walk the first stretch with you.

The four weeks

Week 1
Waking up in the forest

After the Diagnosis

The shock, the first decisions, what actually needs to happen now, and what can wait. Most things can wait. We will show you which.
Week 2
The map

Navigating the Medical System

Reading your own reports, getting a second opinion, insurance, who does what in a hospital. With Greg, who spent his life inside it.
Week 3
The language

Communication

Talking to doctors so you are heard. Talking to family, your employer, your kids. And the hardest one: asking for help.
Week 4
The road

Walking On

Your nervous system, sleep, what steadies you. With Kami. And what happens after day 28, and how you keep walking.

4 live sessions in 28 days

One live session a week, one theme a week. All on Zoom, all live.

What this is not

No battle metaphors. No "everything happens for a reason." No seven-step fix for something that has no fix. And no medical advice. We will not diagnose, treat, or second-guess your medical team. We help you carry everything around the medicine, which is usually the part nobody helps with.

It starts with a free webinar

Live, no cost. Everything above included.

Send us an email and we will save you a seat. In the webinar we walk you through how the four weeks work, who it is for, and what it costs, so you know exactly what you are stepping into before you decide anything.

FAQ

Is this only for cancer?
No. Cancer, MS, autoimmune, anything serious. The forest looks different, the being-lost is the same. The map, the language, and the group work for all of it.
I am not the patient. Can I join?
Yes. Caregivers get dropped in the same forest. Much of the program was built with you in mind.
My diagnosis was months ago. Too late?
No. "The first 28 days" means your first 28 days with us, whenever you are ready to stop being lost.
What if I cannot make a live session?
You will get the daily email and the weekly summary, so nothing essential gets lost.
What does it cost?
We go through pricing and dates in the free webinar, once you have seen what this actually is.

You did not choose this forest. But you do not have to learn it alone. Come as you are. We will walk the first stretch with you.

This program is guidance and companionship, not medical care. It does not replace your medical team. For medical emergencies, always contact your doctor or emergency services first.
