Creative Breakthrough Coaching For Women Over 40 

illustration in black and white that reads: So, here´s the bad news:

If you´re a creative woman over 40, 

there are two tough truths you probably don´t want to hear: 

1) YOU are getting in the way of your dreams 

and

2) You´re nearing that NOW-OR-NEVER point.

(You can make a BIG change that will transform your future...and still have decades to enjoy it.)

 

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

You can start reaching dazzling levels of creativity, fulfillment, and FUN in just four weeks.

I have helped women in 18 countries 

*release their limiting stories

*blast through their creative blocks, and

*achieve life-changing breakthroughs

in just 30 days.

Hey there!  I´m Maya Frost. 

I help creative women over 40 rise to their loftiest levels of innovation, success, and FUN.

You don´t have to work in the creative industry or be a professional artist to be creative. If you make plans, programs, paintings, projects, patterns, processes, poems, or practically anything else, you belong here!

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

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

I do breakthrough coaching ONLY. 

(I like big RESULTS and I cannot lie...)

Trauma-informed creative breakthrough transformational coach

is 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 all aspects 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?

So, what is a limiting belief or story?  

It´s 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, or creating what you want.

Most of us struggle with at least one if not several of these self-limiting stories. 

This is partly due to our conditioning as we grew up.

 

Child of the 60s, 70s, or 80s? We were exposed to things other generations were not. 

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 stories.

 

As women over 40, we tend to have our own not-so-secret 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.

 

This full-on freedom sparks a surge in innovation, opportunities, and fun.

(There´s nothing more fun than creating the life of your dreams!)  

 

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

There is commitment and work involved.

But remember this:

I provide two levels of creative breakthrough coaching. 

If you are looking for a way to get out of a funk, release your limiting stories, upgrade your thinking, and expand in your creative work, the Breakthrough Series is your best bet.

But if you are facing a major transition (whether it is one you´ve chosen or one that´s been imposed upon you) 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. (Really.)

illustration that reads: Story time!

ALL of these 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 stories. 

Which one calls out to YOU?

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, ROI, and MVP, I was over it. Each assignment was a slog. This spilled over into the rest of my life. I stopped sketching. I stopped taking my evening walks. I even lost interest in caring for my beloved garden. (Fortunately, my plants seem to have forgiven me.)

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 way more than before with new clients I truly admire.

I feel like a five-year-old looking at the world in awe. I have more energy, more spark, more WOW!  I LOVED working with Maya, and you will, too. She will help you inject some serious sizzle into your creative pursuits.¨

Suzi was longing to feel inspired and excited about her work. She wanted to use her skills in a way that allowed her to be her zany, energetic self. And as a community activist, she was thrilled 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 more fun in her business more than ever before

If you love imagining this type of transformation for yourself, the Breakthrough Series is for you!

Now, 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 a few weeks.

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

They may have stopped believing it´s possible, but they still have a lingering dream and are choosing 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, your lifestyle + travel, 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, consider EVOLVING...

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, and having so many people come into my space daily pushed my anxiety to an all-time high.

My breakthrough with Maya made me see how much I had let go of my dreams. It really surprised me. I actually forgot about moving to Italy because I had put it in my back pocket for so long.

Maya and I made a plan. Straight away, she worked with me to overcome my fear of being on video. In four days, I was able to shift 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 had prepared me for filming my lessons, so it was quite doable. 

I am not on social media, so we created a fun marketing plan using my student list, with 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.

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 6-8 VIP clients regularly, 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, so I stayed with one of my clients in Madrid for a month, and another in Rome for several weeks. That inspired me to move abroad permanently.

A year later, I am beyond thrilled to live in Italy. I bought a sunny apartment with a sea view, and a lovely garden. I teach online for two hours per day, 3-4 days per week. My daughter, who works remotely, loves to come for long visits. She put me onto the dating apps. I am seeing someone special now. It´s new and wonderful, another dream I had let go that is now coming to life.

Also, I recently performed in a small venue here with no issues! My anxiety is under control without meds. Before working with Maya, I never could have imagined this whirlwind of exciting changes in my life. 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 make big changes, 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 change you forever.

Okay, so maybe you´re not living your most beautiful life in Italy. (At least, not yet.)

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 can´t stop thinking about how things 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 probably won´t work, and you should just be happy with things the way they are.

Here´s the thing: you don´t have to have a terrible life in order to want to change it.

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

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

 

Now, 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 the fear of missing your opportunity is stronger than your fear of regret,

it´s time to for a big change that makes you absolutely giddy about your life.

You rise above the burdens and beliefs of your past. 

You believe that success is inevitable.

You elevate your mindset and focus on creativity and growth.

Your ideas flow like water, pouring inspiration into everything.

You know exactly what you need to do, and make daily progress toward your goals.

You easily attract others excited to support you.

You have fun every day doing what you love.

You glow as money flows to you.

You confidently embrace new challenges, and continue to thrive and prosper

 THE FIRST STEP: start believing it is POSSIBLE for you to have a brilliant creative breakthrough, and embrace the reality that it can happen QUICKLY.

Facing a tricky transition?

The Breakthrough Series can work wonders for you if you´re already clear on your work and familiar with your surroundings, but need help dealing with new challenges.

You can end up living your dream life even when you´re faced with a change 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 I was not expecting. 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 two years here, I can honestly say that I am 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.

Faced with their urgent needs and their many limiting beliefs, I designed a jam-packed hour-long session that front-loaded all the best practices of breakthrough coaching and beyond to help them switch their stories and move forward with confidence.

I followed up with 30 days of daily coaching, support, and accountability to keep them on track as they built and launched their projects.

 

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 willing to try something new. 

I threw everything I knew into it so I could quickly help them support their loved ones.

illustration that reads: RESULTS: 100% of the 78 women created a successful project that produced a sustainable income within three months.

But it went way beyond the money.

 

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 identity, ability, creativity, 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.  

 

Take a look at Mira´s story below: 

Mira

parenting coach

Turkey

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

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. It was a good decision. My mother is happy to be home again. My children are doing well. Life is much easier and less expensive here.

This is the first time I am not worried about money. I feel light and powerful. I love my work. 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

With each client, I tweaked the breakthrough process, fine-tuning each step.

For two years, I charged nothing. (Spoiler: it´s no longer free!) 

I started testing it with clients who were not facing such dire circumstances.

And it worked.

Every single time.

    Germany

    ¨I was desperate when my salon was forced to close during COVID. I am a single mother with two children. 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. It was fun! 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 motivation or confidence to approach potential clients. I lost the sense of my value. I felt hopeless.

    Maya got me going again. Creating my course reminded me of my gifts. The surprisingly quick income was an enormous relief, and helping artists inspired me. But the biggest change was that decision makers starting 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 had 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 stay home 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 that needed to be done. But I knew I had to give my granddaughters a loving, stable home. I had promised my daughter. 

    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, I retired early. Now I am home with the girls. This has been incredible for all of us.¨

    Isabel

    bakery owner/instructor

    Mexico

    ¨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 couldn´t 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. There was no escape from my responsibilities.

    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 so my mother can live with us. Now, we have a contract to create a cookbook together! This happy life is because of Maya and her kindness. 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 make their future success possible. This allowed them 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? 

    I can´t wait to help you find out.
