The Next Chapter

The Next Chapter Foundation Series

The Next Chapter Foundation Series is a 3-part virtual series designed to help you move from dreaming to doing. With expert guidance, supportive community, and a personalized action plan, this program is built to help you take meaningful steps toward your goals, whether in health, self-care, career, or personal growth.

​

This isn't just another webinar. It's a space for reflection, clarity, and real change specifically designed by two dynamic women of color who have personally navigated the challenges of setting big goals and building something lasting. You’ll leave with a roadmap and the resources to back it up.

​

The foundation is only the start. The community and support continue in an invite only community filled with go-getters, just like you, who get the grind, the need for balance, and how to optimize life integration while building something great.

 

Our Purpose

The Next Chapter was created for individuals who are ready to take intentional steps toward real transformation. Whether you're aiming to improve your health, advance your career, invest in your self-care, or finally launch that dream project, this series is here to support you with structure, insight, and community.

​​

Both of the hosting organizations, Lifestyles by LivingScripts and Elite Peels, were founded by women of color who have walked the complex road of personal and professional growth. We’ve experienced what it takes to shift from survival mode to thriving, and we know how powerful it is to have support, structure, and guidance along the way. They understand what it feels like to be stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to start. That’s why they’ve built this series to be more than motivation; it’s a mix of strategy, support, and soul. The Next Chapter is their way of sharing that path with others.

 

They’ve designed this program to help you build real momentum toward your next big goal, whether it’s improving your health, starting a business, making a career change, or simply prioritizing yourself again.

 

This is your next chapter. Let’s write it, together.
