How come consultations are not free?

Therapists recommend that addicts avoid returning to environments that trigger relapse.  I had a codependency addiction for 30 years so I need your support in avoiding negative influences. I relapsed during Covid. Furthermore, I have extensive experience with selfless service from the military and I’m worth just as much as vaping, makeup, alcohol, and birth control. Okay, maybe not the birth control.  Seriously speaking , OUR time is valuable!

SCHOLARSHIP: Life’s throwing lemons? Forget the lemonade. At Naturelly Me, the only thing standing between you and greatness is a little bit of momentum. Five absolute game-changing Session scholarships will be awarded a year (that’s one winner every two months!) to the most legendary, compelling essays. If you’ve got the grit but need the lift, this is your moment. The Essay: Keep it under 500 words (10 font). Tell me the Problem you’re facing, your Goal for the future, and Why winning a session would be a game-changer for you. The “Second Chance” Clause: Didn’t win this round? Don’t sweat it. Your application stays in the mix for a full year

What can I expect during my first strategy session?

An open, honest, and supportive conversation where we identify your priorities and tailor your coaching experience. Think of it as a strategy session for your life—with fewer spreadsheets and more truth. 😄

I’ll need three things from you:

  1. Your emotions (yes, the real ones, not the “I’m fine” ones).
  2. What you’ve already tried to solve your opportunity—brilliant ideas, questionable decisions, and everything in between.
  3. Your vision of success—what life actually looks like when things start going right.

Bring honesty, curiosity, and maybe a little courage. I’ll bring the strategy.

How long are the strategy sessions?

Each session typically lasts around 50 minutes to allow deep, meaningful exploration. I may break the coaching session into 2 parts if you or I need an additional resource to assist you in scoring some life points.

An enrollment is 2 months. Research shows it takes about 66 days on average to change a behavioral or thought pattern so it becomes automatic. Of course, humans being wonderfully complicated, studies show the range can be anywhere from 18 to 254 days depending on the person, the complexity of the habit, and how motivated you are to stop doing the thing you said you’d stop doing. 😄

My personal benchmark is 60 days. If we’re still stuck in the same mental loop after that, I’ll start questioning my effectiveness—unless, of course, we’ve uncovered another life challenge hiding in the bushes waving at us.

What happens if I do not need the entire 2 month enrollment?  You will be refunded the remaining balance with a 7 day notice from me or you. 

Are strategy services available virtually?

Yes, I’m flexible to accommodate your schedule and location. However, you may still require some time in nature.

WHAT TYPE(s) OF ACTIVITIES ARE UTILIZED?

 A wide range, it depends on the issue at hand.  The activities will be specifically designed for you with your life challenge. Most activities are generally simple, thought provoking and effective.

ARE ALL ACTIVITIES IN NATURE?

Maybe, it depends on your specific life challenge and how often you participate  in nature.  Also, it depends where you are located.

WILL I BE BY MYSELF DURING ACTIVITIES?

Sometimes you will be by yourself and sometimes not.  Some activities may require group participation and some activities are individual participation.  Special requests will be considered.

SHOULD I BOOK A SESSION or enroll?

Many people get inspired after just an hour with me—sometimes even less. Apparently motivation has a very short commute. 😄 My track record usually lands in the top 10%, which means something productive tends to happen in that hour besides just nodding and saying “wow, that makes sense.”

And if you decide you’d like more than a motivational pit stop, good news: the cost of your consultation will be deducted from a 2-month enrollment. So technically, your inspiration comes with a coupon.

WHAT IF I HAVE A PREEXISTING ENGAGEMENT OR EMERGENCY DURING THE 2 MONTH ENROLLMENT?

With proper documentation and an approved “grown-up conversation,” your time will be extended—fair and square, minute for minute. With proper documentation and an approved “grown-up conversation,” your time will be extended—fair and square, minute for minute.

However… “I was tired,” “happy hour ran long,” and “the donut line was long” are not considered valid forms of documentation. Laziness, bar time, and general shenanigans will be respectfully acknowledged… and then completely ignored.😄

WHAT IF I REFUSE TO PARTICIPATE IN THE ACTIVITIES?

Step outside your comfort zone… or don’t. Just know there’s a Naturelly Me Core Value Penalty waiting for you like a parking ticket from the universe 😄

Trying new things isn’t just “cute advice”—it’s basically a brain upgrade. Every time you do something different, your brain throws a little dopamine party, boosting your mood and wiring you to be sharper and more adaptable. Translation: new experiences = happier, smarter you.

Stay stuck in the same routine? Your brain gets bored. Shake things up? Now you’re building confidence, resilience, and that “I got this” energy. Plus, you become more creative, less stressed, and way better at solving life’s random plot twists.

And let’s be real—half the growth comes from the stories you’ll tell later:
“Remember when I tried that and survived?”

So go ahead—try something new…
or prepare to be fined and sentenced to an even MORE uncomfortable growth activity. Your choice. 🌱

WHY MUST PARTICIPATE IN LIFE STRATEGY ACTIVITES?

Neuroplasticity is the brain’s amazing ability to rewire itself—helping you adapt, learn new skills, and even recover from damage. In other words, your brain is basically the ultimate home renovation project. 🧠🔧

And let’s be honest… if your current strategies were working perfectly, you probably wouldn’t be here reading this. 😄 So why not give your brain a chance to remodel and try something different?

WHAT ABOUT MY PHYSICAL LIMITATIONS?

Your activities will be thoughtfully tailored to respect your physical abilities and limitations—this program is built specifically for you, not a one-size-fits-all plan.

We will always honor and follow your physician’s recommendations. Those guidelines are non-negotiable and are there to keep you safe and progressing in the right direction.

Please do not go against or push beyond your doctor’s orders. And just as important—keep me informed about your comfort level at all times. Your feedback helps ensure we adjust appropriately, so you can grow safely, confidently, and effectively.

WHAT ABOUT REFUND/RESCHEDULING?

All cancellations must be in writing via text/email. Enrollment withdrawal over 72 hours before start day- 100%

Less than 48 hours, the refund percentage is 80%

Less than 24 hours the percentage is 0%

Embrace Your True Self with Nature’s Guidance

At Naturelly Me, I help people grow toward their dreams authentically—like strong trees: rooted in truth, reaching for the sun, and braced for storms.

Empowerment Rooted in Authenticity

Discover my credentials and my slightly quirky personality that make our connection not just genuine, but also a little bit entertaining.

For the academic snobs, résumé inspectors, and credential collectors searching for the flim‑flam behind the flew‑flaw, here are a few official receipts so everyone can relax. Personally, I’ve met plenty of GED holders who are smarter, wiser, and significantly more useful in real life than I am. In fact, I firmly believe anyone who survives four years of poverty deserves at least an Associate’s Degree in Social Science—no classroom required, just fieldwork, stress, and creative budgeting.

I’m also deeply grateful that all three of my degrees—plus the stipends and salaries while earning them as my daytime job —were generously funded by you, the hardworking U.S. taxpayers, through national competitive scholarships I somehow managed to win. Don’t worry though… you definitely got your money back in service. Yes, with interest, overtime, and a few emotional counseling sessions with my merciful mentors and trustworthy friends for good measure.

For those who prefer traditional credentials, here are a few of the more official ones: Army Future Leaders Course, Small Group Leader Course, Officer Basic Course, Officer Advanced Course, Command and General Staff Course

BSN – Hampton University;

MBA – University of Baltimore; and

MSN – University of Maryland, Baltimore County.

So yes—there are degrees, courses, and certificates. But the real education came from life itself, 20 honorable Army years, a LOT of leadership positions with the “best and the brightest,” and a long list of situations that were definitely not in the life on earth brochures.
