The Grove gives you a place to ask questions, work through challenges, share resources, celebrate progress, and stay connected to people who understand the realities of this field.
Some days, you may come for the coaching.
Some days, you may come to get the work done.
And some days, you may simply need to be in the room with people who get it.
Come all the way in. Sit all the way down. Bunny slippers are welcome.
Ongoing Support from Reena & Debra
Running an end-of-life business can stir up all kinds of questions—about pricing, marketing, burnout, boundaries, grief, visibility… and everything in between.
That’s why we host regular Coaching & Marketing Circles inside The Grove. These aren’t formal presentations. We might come with thoughts in our back pockets, but mostly?
We’re here to hold space for whatever’s on your heart.
No question is too small, too weird, or too tender.
Together, Reena and Debra bring decades of experience in both end-of-life care and solo-preneurship. You don’t have to navigate this alone—or in silence.
Come as you are. Bring your sticky questions. Nothing’s off the table.
A sustainable end-of-life practice is built through a series of connected decisions.
Phase One: The Foundation
Modules 1–3
You first. Your vision. Your purpose. How to build a business built around who you are and the work you’re here to do.
By the end of this phase, your business has a direction.
Phase Two: The Build
Modules 4–7
Shape your services, pricing, and client experience around the change you help create and the way you want to do the work.
By the end of this phase, you have a clear, sustainable business model with offers, pricing and policies.
Phase Three: Bring It Into the World
Modules 8–10
Become findable.
Build relationships and create a consistent presence (both online and in person) that attracts people ready to engage with your services.
By the end of this phase, you’ll have a clear, consistent, and connected marketing strategy and the systems to support it.
Vision to Venture helps you make decisions in the right order, with each one connected to the vision underneath your business.
So instead of collecting more pieces, you begin building one clear practice

You don’t need business mentors who feel miles ahead.
You need people who’ve walked this path—with heart, with humility, and with a willingness to figure it out alongside you.
Reena Lazar & Debra White
Co-creators of Willow’s Vision to Venture program
Together, we bring decades of experience in end-of-life education, grief support, and soul-centered business building.Â
We’ve sat at bedsides. We’ve built our own practices from scratch. We’ve tripped, tried again, and learned what works—not just for business, but for a life of purpose.
This course isn’t about pushing you into a mold.
It’s about helping you see that you already have what it takes—and walking with you as you build something real.

"I kept waiting for someone to show me 'the way' to build my practice. This course helped me realize I already knew the way—I just needed to trust myself and take consistent action."

Still Have Questions?Â
I don’t know anything about websites or social media...
What if I don’t have enough experience yet?
Can’t someone else just handle the business side?
What if I’m still figuring out what I offer?
What if I’m not “good at business”?
Will I need to have a website or branding figured out already?
What if I need more time?
What is the "Willow Grove"?
What happens after the 6 months?
"As a former corporate executive, I knew how to run a business but had no clue how to start one from scratch. This course gave me the roadmap I needed to build something aligned with my calling—not just my bank account."
