04 Jul Applications Now Open: RAISING CLARITY’s Private Yearlong Coaching Group

 

I offer a private, yearlong coaching group.

It runs each year from September to August.

The Group only opens to new applicants once a year.

 

Now is the time to apply!

 

Applications to join my Private Yearlong Coaching Groups are open now

through Sunday night, August 17, 2025 at midnight Eastern US time.

 

Each group is limited to 4 people so you get significant personal attention during our monthly sessions with the synergy, camaraderie, and price break of being in a group.

 

I will keep groups together by timezone for everyone’s ease.

 

The application form is at the bottom of this page.

Want a testimonial?

Here are two:

This group has truly helped me stay focused this year, ensuring that I get all of the other stuff done and out of my way in a timely fashion in order to be where I am now – working on this project every day, bit by bit, as opposed to being up against a deadline and being utterly stressed, throwing it together. I am truly convinced that I can and will put something together that will be akin to a masterpiece for myself, something I will feel truly proud of and will make my mark on the field. I do thank the accountability of belonging to this group and needing to report monthly on progress for enabling me to be where I am today.

Before starting your coaching group, I was feeling lost and disconnected from my life purpose. I had quit graduate school and work because of family needs. I didn’t know what was next for me.

During the year I was in your group, and the year since, I have focused my attention on my career and available resources. In the first few months of the group, I felt ideas coming at me in a chaotic manner. But as we worked together and I continued to use the skills I gained I was able to home in on the things I could and wanted to do.

I feel so grounded and guided. I feel confident in my path. My husband is fully on board and we’re working together to make these goals happen. I know my talents more intimately and am seeing big changes come my way.

 I am starting a full-time job with an organization that is only two years old in my state, so I hope to grow with them if it’s a good fit for me.

I will start my graduate classes soon to complete my Master of Public Health degree.

And finally [my partner] and I have a long-term plan of developing an ecovillage on property that backs up to one of our current houses. It will be fleshed out over the next 5-10 years. My kids will live on the other property we own as long as that remains their wish. [We] will join them in retirement.

I feel so grateful for the lessons I learned in your coaching group. I’m so happy to see my intentions come to life.

Love you,

Danielle C, Kentucky

 

Group Purpose: Your Worthy Goal

 

The purpose of this Group is to help you achieve a goal that’s near and dear to your heart. A precious goal. One you may never before have even tried to meet, although you’ve wanted to.

That kind of goal.

 

That kind of goal changes you as you reach it.

I call this a worthy goal.

 

A worthy goal changes you in ways you want (and feel you need) to change.

 

As you now know from the testimonials you read above, people achieve their worthy goals over and over in my Private Yearlong Coaching Group. You can do it. It simply takes focus over time.

 

Focus is hard for some people, but there’s nothing intrinsically hard about focus if you have the right support.

 

This Group is the right support.

 

You can achieve your goal if you focus on it and are willing to make the changes you need to make within you to achieve it.

 

An Example

Your goal for our coaching year might be more money for something important to you. (Read on for Another Example if this doesn’t apply to you. Everyone’s goal is different!)

 

Wanting more money is an external goal. That’s fine! You can achieve that in this Group.

 

But the goal of simply wanting more money is not a worthy goal—yet.

 

That’s because you’d already have your goal except for some changes within yourself you need to make to achieve it.

 

In other words, achieving our goal doesn’t just depend on the outside world–it depends on us.

 

A worthy goal includes the internal changes you need to make within yourself to achieve your external goal.

 

So in this example, your internal goal might include learning to get out of your own way when it comes to money. Thus:

 

Learning to get out of your own way when it comes to money +

Wanting more money for something important to you

= A complete, worthy goal for the purposes of this Group.

 

Our internal goal changes our behaviors, patterns, thoughts, decisions, and actions.

Our circumstances change when we do this.

 

Your circumstances +

Your work within yourself & toward your external goal +

Your willingness to focus (see below about Willingness)

= Achieving your external goal.

 

Another Example

Here’s an example of a quite different kind of goal: you want more time to spend on what the world finds unimportant but you find essential—like wandering and musing; or hanging out with the people you love; or your own creativity; or spirituality.

 

You’ve been letting others’ goals get in the way of your goal. Your goal is to manifest time for what matters most to you. You already know what you want to do with this time. But you never seem to find it.

 

That is your worthy goal. It’s worthy because it includes an external goal and an internal goal of making the changes inside yourself that will achieve your external goal.

 

A worthy goal changes you. The soccer goal below is not very interesting. The journey goal is very interesting and will change you.

 

 

If you’re ready to apply, scroll down to the bottom of this page and respond to the questions you’ll find there.

 

Willingness

 

I am laser-focused on your goal all year long. I take it as my sacred commitment to make sure you achieve it, including but not limited to this:

• • I write to you about it each week; I comment in your personal Goal journal I create for you and make pointed, specific, actionable suggestions about how to achieve it at every stage.

  • I coach you about it every month in our monthly Group sessions which are held via Zoom at a time that works for everyone in the Group. The time is set once everyone has applied and been accepted; we come to consensus about a time that works for us all.

  • I support you emotionally through your changes. This is a major part of what I do for you and how I work with you, because emotions are core to the internal changes you’re making.

  • I take an interest in your physical wellbeing and support that as well.

  • I help you with research and connections supporting your goal.

  • I advise you in funding and financing your goal.

  • I receive intuitive insights and share these with you. I may create guided meditations, exercise, and practices just for you.

  • I offer you discounted 1:1 coaching with me to address issues arising that you don’t want to talk about in Group sessions.

  • You will find I even text you about your goal sometimes!

 

So, I ask that you likewise hold focus on your goal all year long, realizing that…

at first, you might not know how.

 

This is part of what you receive in this Group: I model and teach you how to hold focus.

How to create disciplines you love.

How to get things done, even if you’ve had a hard time in the past.

How to allocate and sculpt your time and money budgets.

How to heal your relationship with money and time.

 

These are areas in which I excel; for references and examples, please contact me. (They’re all over my website but they’re a lot and I can help you zero in on just what you need if you ask me. I keep a zero inbox and answer all my own email. I will respond to you personally.)

 

Your goal is not the only thing you receive in this Group.

You receive me.

 

My smarts, honesty, and compassionate directness. My amazing intuition. My clear vision about who you are—the grandness of who you are.

 

My deep experience of decades coaching and living a useful, spiritual, passionate life. My wisdom and humor.

 

I hold space like no one you have ever met. I will stand by you and keep standing by you. You receive my consistency and persistence. I am stubborn on behalf of your success.

 

I will remind and pester you and I will also nourish, tease, tickle, and gift you.

 

Here’s my YouTube channel. Pick any video.

I’m an original. If you feel drawn to work with me, it’s a good idea to let me know it now.

 

And please know: this Group is open to people from every timezone! In fact, there’s a space to tell me your timezone in the Application to join the Group at the bottom of this page.

 

Your Commitments

 

Here are the commitments I ask of you in order to join us:

 

• • Discerning and describing your worthy goal in the Application below and if needed, refining it in email conversation with me or in a free meeting with me, or both.

  • Being willing to learn from and with me throughout the year how to hold focus on your worthy goal all year long, and focusing on it throughout the year.

  • Working on your goal all year long!

  • Posting regular updates about your progress, triumphs, and struggles in your personal Goal journal I create for you so I can respond with coaching you in writing in your journal.

  • Coming to Coaching Group meetings. Meetings are recorded and posted to a private YouTube playlist for members only, in case you miss a session or if you want a replay, as many do.

  • Payment, either monthly or all at once, before our first meeting…

 

Payment

The price for my supporting you richly in all the ways described above–every week of the year from September 2025 to August 2026–is a minimum of $150 per month and a maximum of $300 per month. You propose what you want to pay in the Application below and we talk about it in email and/or our exploratory meeting after you apply.

 

If you pay for the year upfront, you receive one month free as a thank-you for making my life simpler.

 

If you need to pay monthly, you are welcome to do so with the caveat that you remember you have made a yearlong commitment to me and to yourself and to the group and to your goal.

 

We meet by Zoom once a month.

But each week, I’ll guide, goad, and prompt you to work on your goal and describe what you’ve accomplished in your private Group journal so I can contemplate you and your progress, then coach you on in writing right there in your journal. It is amazing to have a written record of your progress and our coaching taking shape right there before you as you create your year.

 

This also builds your discipline and your ability to accomplish what you dream for yourself.

 

Most folks want this ability yet many fear what it will ask of them.

 

My experience is it doesn’t ask anything you don’t already want and have!

 

All you do is work with me, learn the simple, kind, practical ways I design for you to get your goal done, and while you’re learning, internalize how I coach you.

 

As you internalize how I coach you, you will learn yourself and what you need to get what you want in your life.

 

Ultimately, you won’t need me anymore.

 

Although you might enjoy continuing to work with me, you’ll keep what I teach you forever.

 

All this is what I offer you in this Group.

 

Email me at bethraps@raisingclarity.com if you have questions, or just apply now using the Application below.

 

Remember the deadline to apply is midnight, Eastern time, on Sunday, August 17, 2025
