TIRED OF FEELING ANXIOUS AND FEARFUL OF EVERYONE?



START VIBRATING AT A HIGHER FREQUENCY


It's these questions that kept us grieving and all up at night: "When will things get better? What does this new normal look like? Will COVID ever go away?"

Choosing Joy After A Long Year of Grief® is a hands-on, introspective course that enables you to develop a simple joyful guide of your choosing that can be implemented right away to get you vibrating at higher frequency. It will help you start the new year from a place of joy instead of grief.

All of us are in need of some motivation and glimpse of happiness. That’s why I launched Choosing Joy After A Long Year of Grief® to help you get realigned with your values and remain accountable to your joyful plan. The techniques I use with my coaching clients helped shape the course content provided in this bite-size course. Now, thanks to them, Choosing Joy After a Long Year of Grief® is tested, validated, and ready to help you find your joy again!



Choosing Joy After a Long Year of Grief® was designed for your joy. Each and every facet of the course, from its length to action items, was carefully planned to serve that goal.

  • An interactive course you can commit to for a fraction of the overall cost of therapy and/or life coaching.
  • Course Length: The course includes three distinct stages (along with an additional bonus module) to take you from overwhelm and unmotivated to joyful and productive. See the Course Curriculum below for a detailed course outline. How long the course takes is up to you—you can work at your own pace or complete it in four weeks. Once you enroll, the course is always available to you.
  • Action items, including handouts with empowering questions, meditation, and step-by-step guides that work for your spiritual, mental, physical and environmental health.
  • Free 30 minute 1-on-1 coaching session.
  • Regular opportunities to provide your honest feedback about the course.




Across three distinct stages, you’ll be guided through highly effective coaching tools to:

  • Find ways to release stressors that no longer serve you, even if you don’t know where to start.
  • Define what brings you joy so that you can vibrate in higher energy levels.
  • Develop and execute a plan for resonating higher and setting boundaries.
  • Create the proper steps to keep you productive with any personal goals you set. My goal is to help you get off the couch and into your fun pants!




Choosing Joy After a Long Year of Grief® was designed for students looking to shift their energy levels up but may not have the tools to help get them there.


You are longing for joy. You yearn to release all the stress you've been storing form this unprecedented year. Maybe you even need a little boost to get motivated and stay productive, but you're not sure what to do next. Or maybe you're having trouble coming up with the first step to a better version of what you once called normal. Choosing Joy After a Long Year of Grief® is the course to help you identify and implement a plan for choosing joy daily.



Hey Friend! I'm Astrid Ferguson


Here's Why I Created Choosing Joy After a Long Year of Grief®



I am a Certified Professional Coach, Energy Leadership Index Master- Practitioner, Author and Poet who specializes in helping people embrace their transitions by abolishing their internal blocks so they can take control of their work/life balance and get back to having fun. Over the course of this past year, my clients and myself have been experiencing abnormal amounts of grief due to these unprecedented times. I've both succeeded and failed in recalibrating my thoughts and emotions. I've had to navigate going from working in corporate Pharma full-time to full-time entrepreneur in the midst of a pandemic without a transitional plan. Scary I know! That's why I've charted my progress to find what works and what doesn't in choosing what brings me and my clients joy. I've also interviewed women with diverse backgrounds to learn from their stories, which you can find on The Call Your Sister Podcast.

I've heard the same struggles from my clients and friends time and again: "I am so overwhelmed," or "I don't know why I can't get motivated about anything anymore," or the biggest one, "I'm ready to go back to normal."

I want you to learn from my successes and failures and coaching techniques. I’ve poured these experiences and techniques into the Choosing Joy After a Long Year of Grief® course to give you insight into the simple strategies that truly work from start to finish. I'm here to help you vibrate higher, to figure out what brings you joy, and to teach you how to stick to your joyful transitional plan. I'm here to help you—let's get started!

What Students Are Saying



Anne Sayles


"After this last year I was tired and drained. I was looking for a way to set my rudder along the rocky waves that kept bouncing me around. This course helped me refocus on what is really important to me now. I really enjoyed the work around really figuring out what Joy means for me. Looking at the different values and seeing what was showing up in my life helped my get my focus back on what is important to me. The accountability portion is a great reminder that a plan without action means nothing in the long run! 

Here is to a new year that puts my happiness first! "


Staci Ward


"It’s ok to have had a range of emotions during this past year. What truly matters now though is that I can CHOOSE to have meaningful and fulfilling things happen right now rather than trying to “wait” for things to change."

JoLynn Backes


"Choosing Joy After a Long Year of Grief is an amazing coaching program! Astrid Ferguson is warm and personable, and feels like a friend guiding you to your best self. The handouts are fantastic and lead to a great deal of reflection on what's important to you. That is then used to set up a plan to choose your particular joy and hold yourself accountable to that purpose. It's not a gimmick, but can lead to lasting change. The course is a perfect length as well -- short enough to not be overwhelming, but long enough to make an impact. You'll surprise yourself and learn a lot about what your values are. I highly recommend!"

Don't Take My Word For It


"This course gave me some very tangible ideas on how to "choose joy" each day. At first it seemed obvious...of course, I want to be joyous, but realizing that it's a choice I can specifically make each day is where the change happens. This is something that I know will stay with me way beyond finishing this course.  I like that it was self-paced and had thought-provoking activities that supported the content. Astrid's approach is calming, relatable, and supportive."
