The pause isn’t the end, it’s part of the process.

When it feels like your whole world just stopped and there is no clear way forward, there is a way through.

The Cocoon stage is the alchemy of what’s falling away, so you can create what’s practical and meaningful in the stages ahead.

This is Stage 1 of the Career & Chronic Map by Michelle Irving.

What's Inside:

You’ll begin with the Emotional Map Starter Kit , a quiet orientation into what you’re feeling, why it matters, and where you are in the emotional landscape of chronic illness.

Then, move through four core modules at your own pace:

• Chronic Illness and Hope
  Build a relationship with authentic hope. This module offers grounded insight for reconnecting with practical possibility, even if it looks different than before.

• Reclaiming Your Story and Agency
  Reclaim your story and authority, shed ancestral and clinical disempowerment. Clarify and claim your agency in daily life while in the cocoon. Restore a sense of identity beyond the medical.

• Disrupting Fear
  Have compassion for your fears without letting them dismantle your heart and agency. Develop pragmatic tools to meet uncertainty with self-trust and freedom.

• Bonus Masterclass: The Heroine’s Journey with Sarah Ramey
  See yourself within a larger arc of power, challenge, and transformation. This module goes deep into the great Feminine myths that honour your experience and mirror your rich inner world.

This stage is designed to hold you gently while offering clear emotional support, grounded insight, and practical tools all created with your energy in mind.

Accessibility with Your Capacity

The Off-Ramp Cocoon Stage is delivered in fully accessible formats that support how you take in information when energy is limited. 
You’ll receive captioned video lessons, audio-only options for rest-friendly listening, full written transcripts, and practical workbooks to support you exactly where you are.
All materials are available on desktop and mobile, so you can engage in a way that suits your rhythm and capacity.
