A conversation becomes a practice
Make room for
who you are becoming.
The Becoming Signature Experience is a 24-week journey designed to help you discover who you are, align with your purpose, reignite your passion, and build your legacy. Through guided reflection and practical action, you’ll Clear It, Claim It, Create It, and Live It. Move through the workbook independently or join a guided cohort for shared learning, live coaching, and accountability.
The Jawanda Experience is the brand home. Becoming by Jawanda brings together the coaching and personal-growth offerings, beginning with The Becoming Signature Experience. Journey with Jai opens the conversation through encouragement and practical growth. The Becoming Signature Experience gives you a structured way to apply those ideas.
Who this is for
A new season.
A more intentional you.
The founding guided cohort is designed for women 30+ who are ready to rediscover themselves, reclaim their purpose, and intentionally create their next chapter. You may be rebuilding after widowhood, divorce, separation, or the end of a long-term relationship; navigating career change, empty nesting, or identity beyond caregiving; or simply ready for more intentional growth. The core workbook remains gender-neutral and adaptable to other audiences.

Room to continue.
The cohort is a shared 24-week journey. Membership is the planned space for ongoing connection and support.
The membership rhythm under consideration is one teaching webinar, one live group coaching session, and weekly community prompts each month. This is a planning assumption; the final schedule will be confirmed before enrollment.
Cohort membership access is planned to be included for a defined period. Continued membership afterward will be optional, with separate terms and pricing provided before anyone joins.
The founding cohort is a women-focused experience, primarily for women 30+ navigating a new chapter. The core workbook remains gender-neutral. A separate women-focused workbook edition may be developed later; it is not currently available. You can request updates below.
Your questions, answered
Before you begin

No. The independent workbook is being designed as a complete self-guided experience. Live sessions are additional support in the cohort or membership.
Is this only for women?
The founding guided cohort is designed for women, primarily age 30+. The core workbook remains gender-neutral and adaptable to other audiences. Future cohort audiences and workbook editions will be announced.
How are the cohort and membership different?
The cohort moves through the 24-week workbook together with shared milestones and facilitated support. Membership provides ongoing teaching, coaching, community, and resources. Access during the cohort is planned to be included; continued access afterward will be optional.

Is the experience faith-centered?
Faith Forward reflections may include scripture, prayer, and spiritual prompts. The program uses gender-neutral language throughout.
Is this therapy?
The Becoming Signature Experience is a personal-growth and coaching program. It does not provide therapy or promise a particular result.
