Creative Breakthrough Coaching

Welcome, women over 50! 

illustration  that reads: First, here´s the bad news:

You´re smart, talented, and creative,

but there are two tough truths about this stage of life that you need to face in order to grow:

1) Your THOUGHTS are (still) blocking your dreams 

and

2) You´re in the NOW-OR-NEVER zone.

(You still have time to make a big change that will transform your future, but it needs to happen soon if you want to have decades to enjoy it.)

 

illustration that reads: Ah, but here´s the GREAT news:

You can reach DAZZLING levels of creativity to build your beautiful future in just four weeks.

 

I have helped women over 50 in 18 countries  

*release their limiting stories

*blast through their creative blocks, and

*achieve life-changing breakthroughs 

in 30 days.

Hey there!  I´m Maya Frost. 

I help creative women in their 50s, 60s, and beyond rise to their loftiest levels of innovation, success, and FUN.

I created my surprisingly quick and effective technique while doing pro bono work with women over 50 around the world who were struggling during the pandemic. 

It works. It´s fast. And it lasts.

My goal is to help you use your bodacious creative powers to elevate yourself and inspire others. We need your magic in the world! 

Now, I´m not a typical coach. I don´t offer general life coaching. 

I do breakthrough coaching ONLY. 

First things first: you must see yourself as a creative person. 

You don´t have to work in the creative industry or be a professional artist to benefit from this approach. It can work for you whether you´re a proud crafter or a corporate executive - or both! 

Also, I know that women over 50 - specially those of us who have broken through to the sweet side of menopause - often experience a burst of creativity. (I certainly did.) And we can funnel this surge of innovation into exciting new possibilities! 

So, whether you make plans, programs, paintings, projects, patterns, processes, poems, or practically anything else

I believe in helping you thrive as quickly as possible. 

As women over 50, we have a different appreciation for the years ahead.

And because I know it´s possible to facilitate your bold creative breakthrough in 30 days, I won´t turn it into a six-month coaching package that takes longer than necessary to get you the results you want.

We start with your hour-long Breakthrough Session, and then immerse in your illuminating Integration Phase: 30 days of daily action with coaching support and accountability.

 

We know that momentum matters.

In fact, it´s the key ingredient to getting your new story (and all its glorious potential) to stick.

If you´ve read James Clear´s book, Atomic Habits, you know that consistent daily action is essential if you want to change any habit - and that includes habitual thoughts that block you from moving forward in the direction of your dreams.

By focusing on your daily progress, you move forward immediately and consistently

Just ONE motivating month of accelerated daily action can create huge shifts.

Trauma-informed creative breakthrough transformational coach.

That is a big mouthful that means I help you see, understand, and let go of your limiting beliefs so you can use your full creative powers to THRIVE in every area of your life.

After all, life is just one long creative problem-solving adventure after another. 

So, it makes sense that removing the clutter and connecting with your captivating flow of creativity is going to transform the way you think, feel, choose, and act every day.

Does the word breakthrough scare you? 

How about transformation? Or trauma?

I know these terms can sound pretty intimidating.

(Is this like therapy? Will it be shocking? Is there crying?)

But there´s no need to worry.

For our purposes, a breakthrough is a shift in perspective

A transformation is a meaningful and lasting change in your thoughts, choices, and actions.

88% of my clients say they felt enlightened and excited after their Breakthrough Session. (The other 12%? relieved and ready.) 

See? Not so scary. But it is powerful. Want to know more?

illustration that reads: We all have limiting stories.

In fact, when you think about it, ALL beliefs are limiting!

A limiting story is simply something you say to yourself that makes you limit your choices. 

Whether you call it a story (it´s fiction) or a belief (you really do believe it), it keeps you from being, doing, understanding, or creating what you want.

Most of us struggle with at least one if not several of these. 

For us, it´s partly due to the conditioning we grew up with in the ´60s and ´70s

 

As women, we were served a heaping plate of extra expectations with a side of assumptions.

Add on your own personal experiences and the umbrellas you stand under (cultural, religious, or social) and you can have a whole book of these limiting beliefs.

 

Fear of change. Fear of failure. Fear of success. Imposter syndrome. Scarcity mindset. 

The list goes on and on.

 

And as women over 50, we tend to have our own subset of stay-small stories:

Yikes.

These stories whisper in your ear when you´re awake at 3 a.m.

They bully you when you´re feeling your lowest. 

They are the muck that keeps you stuck.

 

But once you free yourself from your bullying beliefs,

you take control of your choices in ALL aspects of your life.

Your creativity.

Your relationships.

Your health.

Your wealth.

Everything.

 

Now, pair this full-on freedom with your post-menopausal surge in CLARITY and CREATIVITY,

and you´ve got a fabulous formula for unprecedented levels of INNOVATION and FULFILLMENT.

 

Will your creative transformation require effort? Oh, yeah. Definitely.

There is commitment and work involved. And you have to get a little uncomfortable.

I provide two levels of 1:1 creative breakthrough coaching. 

1) If you are looking for a way to get out of a funk, release your limiting stories, uplevel your thinking, and make big strides in your creative work, the Breakthrough Series is your ideal solution. 

It starts with your Breakthrough Session, and then goes immediately into the 30-day Integration Phase. 

2) But if you are facing a major transition and you´re in that while-I´m-at-it place of wanting to go ALL IN

the VIP Evolve Series can take you to stratospheric levels of success and joy. (Yes, really.)

Breakthrough Session. 30 Days of Integration. Then, the 60-Day Evolution Phase. 

Twelve weeks of big realizations and sweeping transformations in every aspect of your life.

Want to hear more?

illustration that reads: Story time!

I am all about the stories...and not just because I´m a writer.

You see, these breakthrough stories offer:

*a that-sounds-like-me connection with the process, and 

*blooming possibilities that spark your imagination

ALL of the breakthroughs are bold and life-changing. 

But one series allows you to remain what and who you are in most areas of your life,

while the other requires an arms-wide-open embracing of a transcendent transformation.

Take a look at these two client breakthroughs. 

Suzi

copywriter

Canada

¨The truth is that I just sort of ENDED UP doing business copywriting. And after 13 years of writing a million words about SEO and ROI, I felt DOA. Each assignment was a slog. This spilled over into everything. I stopped sketching. I stopped taking my evening walks. I even lost interest in caring for my beloved garden. 

Maya came to my rescue. I knew right away that she would get me through this god-awful slump. She was fantastic at helping me get playful again! Her preschool-teacher energy and love made me relax and have fun.

I had been squashing myself to fit into this serious-biz box. I needed a new niche that would allow me to stretch out and be myself.

Together, we found the perfect fit for me: community builders! In a few short weeks, I was happily skipping along my new copywriting path, working with clients who totally clicked with me and my quirkiness. It was SO. MUCH. MORE. FUN.

And did I mention money? Maya pushed me to charge more. (It was, ahem, long overdue.) Lo and behold, I immediately started making much more than before with new clients who have generously recommended me to others. 

I feel like a five-year-old looking at the world in awe. I have more energy, and get inspired by the smallest things. 

I LOVED working with Maya, and you will, too. She can help you inject some serious sizzle into all your creative pursuits.¨

Suzi was longing to feel excited about her work. She wanted to use her skills while showing her her zany, word-nerd self. As a community activist, she was fired up to help those who were aligned with her passion.

In just one month, Suzi:

*switched her story about what was possible 

*integrated a new narrative that led her to her perfect niche

*created a strategy and reached out to new dream clients

Within three months, she more than doubled her income while having fun in her business and working with clients who were her personal heroes.

If you love imagining this type of transformation for yourself, and want to experience it just a few weeks from NOW, the Breakthrough Series is for you.

Suzi is very happy with her results.

Most women would be delighted to slide out of a slump and love their work every day while getting paid twice as much - all within three months.

But VIP Evolve Series clients are ready to go beyond a breakthrough. 

They are willing to fully invest in themselves in their 1-month Integration Phase and their 2-month Evolution Phase after that. They want to continue their momentum for even greater change.

Sure, they may have stopped believing it´s possible, but they still have a lingering dream and are ready to make big changes to make it come true

It´s not for everyone. If you´re happy with your life except for one or two particular areas (such as your work + income, your confidence + creative flow, etc.), then the Breakthrough Series will take you right where you want to go.

But if you are ready for a wild ride that shifts almost EVERYTHING,

Sonya

vocal coach

United Kingdom/Italy

¨After having panic attacks the last two times I performed, I started teaching vocalists in my home six days a week. I enjoyed teaching, but my schedule was brutal. Having so many people singing in my space daily made me physically ill, and pushed my anxiety to an all-time high.

My breakthrough with Maya made me see how I had let go of my dreams. It really surprised me. I had actually forgotten about moving to Italy because I had put it in my back pocket years ago. My hopes for love and money had been abandoned as well.

Straight away, Maya worked with me to overcome my fear of being on video. In four crazy days, I was able to shift all my students to online lessons. It was such a relief to have my flat to myself again! 

Next, Maya helped me to create a short online course. Teaching online prepared me for filming my lessons, so it was quite doable with my daughter helping me with the tech.

I am not on social media, so Maya and I created a fun marketing plan using my student list. I offered a prize of a night out with me to dinner and a concert to whomever got the most people to buy my course. They loved it, and the winner brought me 5 sales! I also reached out to my community of professional singers, who were supportive.

In all, I had 44 sales of my US$200 course, which was an incredible boost. A few students from around Europe inquired about virtual private vocal coaching. At that point, Maya walked me through creating a VIP offer, charging more than my rent per client per month. This was a huge stretch for me, complete with imposter issues, but she got me through it. I now coach only VIP clients, 6-8 on average, with a waiting list. 

Mind you, this all happened within 10 weeks!

Perfect timing, as my lease was up. I took a leap, sold everything I could, and started traveling. I was free to teach from anywhere. I stayed with one of my clients in Madrid for a month, and another in Rome for several weeks. I loved it, and felt ready to move abroad permanently. 

Eighteen months later, I am beyond thrilled to live in Italy. I bought a charming house with a sea view and a lovely little garden with fig and orange trees. I teach online for two hours per day, 3-4 days per week. My mother spent weeks here helping me paint, and we just bought a small place for her nearby. My daughter, who works remotely, comes for long visits. She put all three of us onto the dating apps, which has been great fun! I am seeing someone special now, an Italian man who lived in London for years. It is new and wonderful, another distant dream that is now coming to life. 

I recently performed in a small venue in my city with no issues. My anxiety is under control without meds.

Before working with Maya, I never could have imagined this whirlwind of changes in my life. She has been a steadying hand for me, not just in those first three months, but as an ongoing source of guidance through each new challenge. I am enormously grateful for her inspired and insightful coaching.¨

Like Suzi, Sonya wanted a change in her work. But Sonya was ready for a more profound transformation. She knew she was capable of more, and was willing to make big changes.

Just like Suzi, Sonya wanted to reach clients who would truly appreciate her talent and skills, and allow her to do her highest level of work in an easier and more enjoyable way.

But Sonya had to learn new skills (teaching online and creating a course) and elevate her mindset to attract different clients willing and able to pay much more. She was happy to stretch herself, and thrilled to create a whole new life in a new country.

If you´re ready for a Sonya-sized transformation, the VIP Evolve Series will challenge you, astound you, and 

Okay, so maybe you´re not dreaming of living your most beautiful life in Italy.

But you might relate to feeling anxious or stuck.

Maybe you´re tired of struggling and feeling exhausted. (Same as Sonya and Suzi.)

Or maybe, like them, you feel like you´re doing okay. You´re grateful and all.

But you just can´t stop thinking about how your life could be so much more fun and fulfilling.

A part of you is calling out for something truly special. 

But it´s battling with that other part that says

it´s too hard,

it won´t work, and

you should just be happy with things the way they are.

 

REMINDER: you don´t have to have a terrible life in order to want to change it.

As humans, it´s our nature to seek and maintain comfort.

Anything more seems hard, unnecessary, and even egotistical. (How DARE we want more?)

 

Listen, it is perfectly okay to choose to live your current life indefinitely.

But I am here to tell you that

if you keep feeling that longing for more, and 

if your fear of missing your opportunity and regretting it is stronger than your fear of change,

it´s time for a switch that makes you feel

illustration that reads: absolutely giddy about your life
illustration that reads: Facing a tricky transition?

Maybe you´re facing a transition that no one you know has ever dealt with.

Even if you´re lucky  enough to have family and friends that are supportive, you cannot expect that they can help you navigate the decisions and shifts you must make in order to thrive.

The Breakthrough Series c an be a great way to gain clarity, confidence, and a game plan that makes you excited about your future.

You may end up living your dream life even when you´re faced with a transition that feels like the utter end of things rather than a beautiful beginning...

Mila

somatic therapist

United States/Slovenia

¨A year after leaving my corporate job, I had completed my training as a somatic therapist, and was excited about my growing local practice. I was settled and happy.

Then, my older sister in Slovenia died suddenly. After living in the States for thirty years, I had to quickly move back to Slovenia to care for my parents. I even left behind my partner of four years, who was unable to join me.

I was starting over at the age of 54, living with my parents in a small village after decades in Boston. I was dealing with so much grief, and felt isolated and overwhelmed. It seemed like my best years were behind me.

Maya brought order and even joy to this challenging shift. She helped me move past my sadness and frustration. I got clear on what I wanted in my relationships with my parents. We are creating deep bonds despite the hard days. I have friends and neighbors who bring out the best in me. I have grown to appreciate the slow pace of life here, the peaceful beauty, and the quiet camaraderie.

Maya was my anchor in everything. She helped me set up my  somatic therapy business. I have a steady flow of online clients, including many here in Slovenia, which was a surprise. I work much less than before, but also need far less income. I have time to write daily, and I am overjoyed to be gardening again! 

After nearly a year here, I can honestly say that I am truly happy and grateful for this simple life. 

If you are in a transition and want a trusted friend guiding you with great skill and love, I highly recommend working with Maya.¨

I developed my quick & quirky technique while doing pro bono work with women over 50 around the world who were struggling during the pandemic.

First, I reached out to my non-profit contacts to offer my help to those they serve.

Then, I got some press. I was FLOODED with requests.

Faced with their urgent needs and their many limiting beliefsI designed a jam-packed hour-long session that front-loaded all the best practices of breakthrough coaching and beyond.

My approach was simple and fast by necessity.

You see, ALL of these women were supporting their extended families on their own.

All had lost their jobs or were forced to close a business.

And many had also lost a partner or parent to Covid.

They were grieving and facing financial ruin and resistant to trying something new. 

So, I threw everything I knew into a process that could quickly help them support their loved ones.

It was the middle of the pandemic. Everyone was home and online. It was perfect time for online courses! 

We started with a Breakthrough Session to help them re-write their limiting stories, followed by 30 days of daily coaching support and accountability. I guided them through any lingering self-doubt, worked with them to fine-tune their new narrative, and taught them how to build, launch, and market their first simple digital course. 

illustration that reads: RESULTS: 100% of the 88 women created a successful project that produced a sustainable income within three months.

You see, they changed their lives in ways they could not have imagined just weeks earlier, with exponential growth in multiple areas.

They had changed, and that changed everything.

 

This process creates a fundamental shift in your creativity, identity, ability, and action.

It works.

It´s fast

And it lasts.

 

In just ONE Breakthrough Session + 30 Days of Integration Support, you can create a SPARKLING new future for yourself. 

 

Miray was one of my very first pro bono clients. Take a look at her story below: 

Miray

teacher/parenting coach

U.K./Turkey

¨As a single mother of three, losing my hotel job during Covid was scary. I did not know how we could survive. Now, I have a parent coaching business that supports my family! I work at home only 3-4 hours each day. I really love my work and clients.

I never imagined this.

Maya saw my potential. She helped me to create a vision. She gave me tools to be successful. She guided me when we moved from the UK back to Turkey. 

This is the first time I am not worried about money. I feel light and powerful. My mother is happy to be home again. My children are doing well. Life is easier and less expensive here.

I am very thankful for Maya´s kindness and support.¨ 

I had no idea that this turbo-charged technique would be so profoundly pivotal and consistently effective

I was just doing my best to help these women put food on the table for their families.

For two years, I charged nothing. 

Then, I started testing this technique with clients who were facing less dire circumstances.

And it worked.

    ¨I was desperate when my salon was forced to close during COVID. I am a single mother with two children, and also care for my father. I felt unable to do anything new. I was not a good student and could not see myself as a teacher. Maya inspired me to imagine an exciting story for myself. I created a hair design course to help other salon owners. These days, my old competitors are my best friends, and I have two incomes. Being an instructor made me confident. This is very new for me. My children are so proud! Every day, I appreciate this new life.¨

    muralist/teacher 

    United Kingdom

    ¨When the pandemic hit, I crashed. I had ideas for new projects, but no confidence to approach potential clients. I lost the sense of my value. I thought my work was no longer desirable.

    Maya got me going again. Creating my course reminded me of my gifts. The quick income was an enormous relief, as I support my family of three. Helping artists inspired me. But the biggest change was that decision makers started to approach meThey heard about my course and were intrigued by my work. I am now offered projects that I never would have attempted to apply for before. I am forever grateful to Maya.¨

    Parvati 

    novelist/writing coach 

    India

    "After my husband died, I needed to support my three children. I was sick with worry. I knew it would take a year to write another book. As a first-time author, I did not believe I was good enough yet to teach others. Maya helped me to release that story. Once I saw myself as a passionate writer who helps others (rather than a newbie author), I became unstoppable! Maya virtually held my hand as I created my first course and coaching membership. These gave me a steady income within ten weeks. These days, I love coaching even more than writing!¨

    Kate

    graphic designer/instructor

    United States

     

    ¨During Covid, my parents moved in with me, and then my two daughters came home from college. I was supporting everyone, but lost my job due to closures. I had no savings, thanks to recent medical bills and college tuition. I was so stressed that I broke out in hives. I could not see a path forward. I did not believe I could make any money with my graphic art unless I had a full-time job doing it.  

    Enter Maya. When I showed her the designs I made, she suggested I create an online course. This course brought me devoted students, a lovely community, and a growing savings account! 

    This led to design contracts with several companies. I feel creative every day. I work from home, where I can help my parents. I am so happy to support my family doing what I love!¨

    event planner/instructor

    Brazil

    ¨When events were cancelled, I was very depressed. My husband left only months before. At first, I could not get out of bed. I thought it was impossible for me to support everyone in my family. Maya showed me I could be a teacher, not just a planner. I noticed a big difference in my thinking. With my course, I felt proud and excited to help other planners. Now, I am planning events again, but my clients pay more. I can work less and spend time with my family. I have so much energy! I love my work now more than before.¨

    painter/instructor

    France

    "When my daughter and grandson came to live with me, I worried about how to pay for everything. I was used to spending so little. Maya taught me to see how my idea about being a struggling artist destined to be poor forever was limiting me. It was a delight to create a new story! I am convinced it helped me to become successful with my art course. It gave me many new artist friends of all ages. Thanks to Maya, at 72, I have financial security for the first time in my life."

    Sharon

    custodial grandparenting coach

    South Africa

    ¨My daughter died of cancer, and I began raising my two granddaughters, then ages 2 and 4. I was still grieving the loss of my husband the year before, and had a demanding job as a social program director. My heart was broken. I felt bitter, guilty, and exhausted. There was no way I could do all I needed to do to give my granddaughters a loving, stable home. 

    Maya showed me my strength and my heart´s best work. She guided me to see my expertise. I had worked with many clients who were raising their grandchildren. Now, I understand their challenges more clearly. 

    With Maya´s loving care, I created my first course for custodial grandparents. It was a healing process that gave me an income and a supportive community online. Six months later, my new business was growing, and I retired early. Now I am home with the girls. This has been incredible for all of us.¨

    ¨My bakery was open for three years when COVID started. I had to close due to restrictions. I was so tired of baking everything and delivering it for little profit. I had three sons to support. I could not pay rent. My mother lived 20 kilometers away and was going blind. She needed my help. Every night, I cried. I had no hope or energy. Everything felt heavy.

    Maya taught me to make an online baking course. It was her idea to have my boys film some videos of us baking in our small kitchenI posted about it on Facebook, and others shared it. Many people bought my course! I was proud to help families bake together.

    Then Maya encouraged me to be on a TV show with my sons. People went crazy about it! (The girls watching loved my boys. 😂) In the first three months, I made almost US$60,000.

    I sold my bakery. I bought a house where my mother can live with us. Now, we have a contract to create a cookbook together! This happy life is because of Maya. I give thanks every day.¨

    All of these women (and many others) released their old beliefs and created fulfilling new lives for themselves within three months.

    They chose to switch their stories in order to create a life they love.

    (And no, you don´t have to start a course for this to work for you!)

    What will you do once you switch your story?

    It starts out sad, but then there´s a big switch(!) and a happy ending.
