You're ready for this work.
So why does building a practice feel so complicated?
Maybe you’ve felt it too:
Maybe you’re just beginning, and even after the trainings you still feel unsure where to start.
Maybe you’ve already supported clients, but your business feels scattered and you’re tired of trying to piece it all together alone.
Or maybe you’ve spent years in related fields — nursing, chaplaincy, caregiving, counseling — and stepping into this next chapter feels vulnerable, like you’re new again.
Wherever you’re coming from, you’re not stuck because you’re unprepared.
You’re stuck because no one ever taught you how to build this kind of work in a way that feels ethical, grounded, and true to who you are.
That’s what Vision to Venture helps you do.
If you know this is your next step, this is the most grounded and spacious way to join us — before pricing shifts in the new year.

THE TRUTH
You’re not alone in any of this.
Turning your calling into a clear, grounded practice can stir up layers most business programs never talk about.
For some, it feels like:
- “I’ve taken the trainings… why can’t I start?”
You’ve studied, practiced with friends or family, felt the pull —
but when it comes time to choose a direction, you freeze.
- “My business exists… but it feels scattered.”
You’ve supported clients, run workshops, maybe even built a website —
but your offers, messaging, and confidence don’t feel cohesive.
- “I’ve spent years in service… so why does this new chapter feel so overwhelming?”
You carry deep life experience, but stepping into entrepreneurship —
or naming yourself in a new way — feels vulnerable and unfamiliar.
And then there are the quiet stories that run underneath everything:
- Money tension  Â
"I'm not in this for the money."
"A 'good' death should be accessible to everyone, even if it means I don't charge for my service."Â
"What will people think about my pricing?"
"This work is sacred; charging money for my services feels like it dishonors that."
- Visibility worries
“I don’t want to be seen as 'selling' something.”
“What if people comment and say bad things about me?”
“I’m not a social media person.”
- Imposter syndrome
“Do I have the 'right' skill set for this work?”
“What if I don't have enough... [fill in the blank] (ie training/ experience/ knowledge/ certifications...).”
“I should offer the same services and pricing as all of the other practitioners do.”
- Overwhelm and pressure
Too many ideas.
Too many directions.
Too much emotional labor to do it alone.
And woven throughout all of this are the myths you’ve absorbed from the world:
- “This should be volunteer work.”
- “No one pays for end-of-life support.”
- “You’re taking advantage of people who are grieving.”
- “People don’t need this until it’s too late.”
None of these stories means you’re doing it wrong.
They mean you’re building something sacred in a field most people don’t understand —
while navigating the inner work that comes with saying yes to your calling.
You’re not behind.
You’re not doing it wrong.
You’re simply carrying work that asks a lot of your heart.
"I came with all these skills— grief support, ceremony—but no idea how to tie them together into something people could understand and buy. Now I have a clear practice that honors all of who I am while serving my clients beautifully."
- Donna Foster, Willow EOL Educator®, Ceremony Celebrant, member of Humanists Australia, Beaudesert, QLD, Australia
WHAT VISION TO VENTURE ACTUALLY IS
This isn’t a generic business course.
It’s a guided path for end-of-life practitioners who are doing work that carries emotional and ethical weight.
But if you’re doing end-of-life support, grief work, ceremony, legacy guidance, advance care planning — your work is different.
Your work touches identity, loss, values, and purpose.
It touches families and histories.
It touches your own lived experience.
So building a business in this field asks something deeper of you —
and that’s what Vision to Venture honors.
Here’s how this approach supports you, no matter where you’re entering from.
1. We start with you — your voice, history, values, and capacity.
Your business doesn’t begin with a niche or an offer.
It begins with who you are.
Your lived experience.
Your natural strengths.
Your energy.
Your boundaries.
Your way of being with others.
Your offering emerges from truth —
not pressure, not performance, not comparison.
This is why people who are beginning, growing, or pivoting all find clarity here.
We bring you back to yourself first.
2. We name the invisible barriers you’ve been carrying.
Not just fear or imposter syndrome —
but the deeper patterns:
-
identity shifts
-
grief activation
-
money ethics
-
visibility tenderness
-
internalized beliefs about worth
-
pressure to “justify” this work
-
fear of misunderstanding or judgment
These patterns soften when someone finally names them.
You can’t build a grounded practice while wrestling quietly with all of this alone.
Vision to Venture brings these to the surface — gently, honestly, compassionately — so you can move through them with support.
3. We offer structure without urgency.
No pressure to “keep up.”
No fast-track formulas.
No push toward constant output.
Instead, you receive a clear, spacious sequence — one that honors your capacity, your nervous system, and the emotional nature of your work.
Everyone moves through the same foundations, but in a way that fits their season of life and the path they’re on.
4. We create a supportive, values-aligned community.
If you join the Guided Cohort or Mentorship Path, you’ll learn alongside others who carry similar calling and complexity —
people who understand the emotional weight of this work.
Not generic entrepreneurs.
Not hustle-culture voices.
Not people pushing productivity over presence.
A community that steadies you, not pressures you.
A place to connect without performing.
5. We use AI as a gentle thinking partner — not to replace your voice.
Inside the course, AI supports you in:
-
finding language for the work you’ve struggled to name
-
getting unstuck when words feel out of reach
-
clarifying your message
-
easing the overwhelm of starting from a blank page
It’s a steady companion.
A reflective surface.
A way to move forward with more ease — without losing your authenticity.
6. You receive mentorship if you want someone in your corner.
If you choose the Mentorship Path, you have private support for:
-
identity transitions
-
money stories
-
visibility fears
-
offer design
-
boundaries
-
real-time decision-making
-
moments of doubt or confusion
Not pushy.
Not forceful.
Just someone beside you as you step into a new chapter.
In short:
Vision to Venture helps you build a business that reflects who you are —
and supports the life you’re creating.
A business rooted in clarity and values.
A business that feels aligned and grounded.
A business that helps people find you.
A business that lasts.
"V2V didn’t just give me tools—it gave me a community, role models, and the sense that I wasn’t wandering alone. The emotional and psychological support Deb offers has been transformative. V2V helped me make my first client proposals, and feel grounded enough to pursue my first paying clients. V2V got me started—and that was the piece I couldn’t figure out alone.”
- Shawn K Supers, Advanced Care Planning Facilitation; End of Life Education; Sacred Ceremony Celebrant, owner, Embrace End of Life Planning. Winchester, Virginia, USA
By the end of Vision to Venture, you’ll have a clearer sense of who you are as a practitioner — and a business that reflects that truth.
This isn’t about becoming someone new.
It’s about grounding into the work you already feel called to do, with language, structure, and confidence that feel steady and real.
Here’s what begins to take shape:
🌿 A clear, grounded offering
Instead of “I help people with death,” you’ll have a specific, honest offering that reflects the work only you can do — whether you’re just beginning, growing, or reshaping your next chapter.
🌿 A deeper understanding of your people
You’ll be able to picture the 2–3 kinds of clients you’re most meant to serve — not a demographic, but real humans with real needs you feel called toward.
🌿 Pricing that feels ethical and sustainable
You’ll choose rates that match your values, your capacity, and the depth of what you bring — without carrying guilt or second-guessing yourself.
🌿 A full client journey mapped out
From “I’ve never heard of you” to first contact to working together.
A quiet, clear path that helps people move toward your work without confusion.
🌿 An ecosystem of offerings that makes sense
Free resources, trust builders, paid services, and a signature offering that fit together and support your bandwidth — without scattering your energy.
🌿 Language that feels natural and honest
You’ll know how to talk about your work softly and clearly, in a way that feels like you — even if social media has felt uncomfortable or out of reach.
🌿 A sense of steadiness around launching
Not a push. Not urgency.
Just the calm confidence that comes from having structure, clarity, and support beneath your feet.
🌿 You won’t leave with just ideas.
You’ll leave with a practice that feels like home — one that honors who you are and how you’re meant to serve.
“Vision to Venture helped me let go of the pressure to have it all figured out. I learned that it’s okay to build slowly and trust my own rhythm. I’m clearer now about what feels true for me, and that’s a huge gift.”
-Johanna Munson, Willow EOL Educator®, practical End-of-Life Planner and a soul-inspired Psychic Medium, Author of Live Responsibly, Die Thoughtfully, Bainbridge Island, WA, USA

Is this right for you?
You’ll feel at home in Vision to Venture if you recognize yourself in the experiences below...
- You’ve been circling this work for a while.
You feel the calling clearly, but choosing a direction — or naming your next step — feels tender, overwhelming, or uncertain.
- You want a business that reflects your values.
You care about this work deeply and want your practice to grow in a steady, grounded way — without feeling salesy, rushed, or performative.
- You’ve taken steps… and they haven’t quite come together.
Maybe you’ve supported a few clients, or built a website, or offered workshops —
but it still feels like something is missing, unclear, or scattered.
- You’ve absorbed other people’s stories about this work.
Stories that say:
“This should be volunteer work.”
“You shouldn’t charge for this.”
“People don’t need this until it’s too late.”
Those beliefs have made it harder to stand tall in your practice.
- You’re tired of doing this alone.
You want support, clarity, and a space where the emotional and ethical weight of this work is understood — without having to explain yourself.
- You're ready for clarity, but not pressure.
You want guidance that feels kind, steady, and spacious.
You want to grow without abandoning yourself.
Â
Vision to Venture may not be right for you if:
- You’re looking for a fast-track formula.
This isn’t a “10 steps to success” program.
It’s a thoughtful path meant to evolve with you.
- You’re expecting instant results.
Your work is tender and relational.
It unfolds over time.
- You don’t want to explore the stories and patterns shaping your practice.
This course honors both the inner and outer layers of business-building.
- You want someone else to build your business for you.
Vision to Venture gives you guidance, structure, and support — not a script to follow blindly.
If you’re here, you’re probably in the right place.
Thoughtful.
Values-led.
Private.
Heart-forward.
Someone who knows this is more than business —
it’s part of your calling.

"What I value most so far is how Vision to Venture starts with values and vision before diving into the practical steps. It feels refreshing to build my business from the inside out. The conversations around pricing helped me rethink how I’ll present my offerings and gave me confidence to talk about my services more clearly."
- Jody Klein, Willow EOL Educator®, Life and Grief Support Coaching, Atlanta, Georgia, USÂ
Three questions to help you clarify your practice
(A free companion guide and short video to support your next step)
If you’re still exploring what your practice could look like — or you’re feeling the early pull toward this work but aren’t sure how to begin — this is a gentle place to start.
In this five-minute video, I share three visioning questions that help you:
-
understand where most people begin (and why that keeps them stuck)
-
shift from naming your “role” to naming your service
-
connect with the deeper purpose behind your work
-
see your business as a partner, not a project
These questions are part of the foundation we use inside Vision to Venture, and they often create the first moment of real clarity for people stepping into this field.

The guide includes:
-
the three reflection questions from the video
-
space to explore your emerging ideas
-
a bonus prompt that helps you move from “label” to a clear service statement
A small, powerful beginning — something you can return to any time you feel unsure of your direction.
