20+ YEARS EXPERIENCE IN SKILLS-BASED TRAINING FOR WOMEN
BUILT A MULTIMILLION-DOLLAR BUSINESS IN A YEAR
CO-FOUNDER OF THE WHOLENESS COACHING SCHOOL
MOM OF 8 CHILDREN
The Woman School was born out of her own wound that led her to dream of a training school for women’s wholeness.
“I am currently working through Class #13: Peaceful Environment. I wanted to share my gratitude for your countless personal examples of home, order, cleanliness, peaceful environment, and beauty. I myself enjoy making my home environment lovely for others as well, and find your personal examples and photos to be inspiring:). I am truly experiencing much fruit, wisdom, and growth in so many aspects as I continue through the New Woman Masterclass. This is my second time working through the Woman School, and I am now a lifetime member! Yay !!
- Emily
“It taught me how to be the mother I had always wanted to be, but just couldn’t quite figure out before. It taught me intentionality and how to have a peaceful mindset amidst motherhood and busy days. It gave me the freedom to be more myself than ever before!”
- Kari
“The course is so brilliant, the women can harvest in any season or situation. I think the principles apply to all. To the married, single, pregnant, empty nester.”
- Arianna
"I thought I was called to some form of religious life, and everyone said prayer was key to discernment, and people insisted discipline was indispensable for a good prayer life, but nobody had told me how to grow in discipline! My life was sort of on hold. I didn't even know what I wanted; I just knew I wanted to be a saint, but I thought that was not practical enough. Through the Woman School, I learnt that the dream of being a saint was the fuel for my discipline and that it could be broken down into goals that I could focus on. I built a routine to protect my prayer life, and with the new order came clarity. Two years later I am now a consecrated virgin. I know my vocation, and I have the tools to live it out. Thank you to the Woman School and my Woman School Coach."
- Tesi
"The Masterclass helped me learn how to dream again, manage anxiety and develop healthier habits that I can now teach my daughter!"
- Yashi
"The Woman School changed my life! I have ALWAYS believed I was meant to touch the world with my singing voice, but I had no direction. We are meant to bless, not impress...GAME CHANGER. Visualizing...GAME CHANGER. My desire to perform and impact others has gotten STRONGER, and an amazing opportunity has come to me, and I am performing in a duo. In my heart, I am being led by God and keeping the vision in front of me. I have a BIG dream, I always have: to be a signed Christian artist in Nashville, write my own songs, and be on the radio. This has been in my heart for 20 years. I believe that the Lord will direct my dreams, maturing them. I have grown in so many ways, and I am living my dreams RIGHT NOW in this duo! The big dream is still in front of me always...I COULD NOT HAVE DONE THIS WITHOUT THE WOMAN SCHOOL!!!!!!!”
- Lindsey
“The Woman School Masterclass has given me the tools necessary to combat the negative mindset I have been dealing with for the majority of my life. It has provided me with hope that with skills and scripts, I can have interior freedom and break the generational chain of a negative mindset…”
- Nicol
“Every single woman has a unique gift to share with the world and when she is standing in her power and living her unique dreams, she is living her beautiful life. It’s a privilege to be a Strategist. I believe in this work because women can change the world! Many women have forgotten who they are and believe the lies of the world. I want to be a part of restoring true femininity and building up one woman at a time to change the world.”
- Amy
“I went through the Masterclass last year and it completely transformed my life! I used to always feel so busy and stressed, but this past year has been the most peaceful year of my life!”
- Teresa
“I’ve read all the books…but didn’t see much change. This class exponentially changed my life. The accountability has been pivotal. The support and the guidance is irreplaceable.”
- Erin
“This class increased my awareness on a whole different level and was a HUGE aid to my inaction in my life. I pay attention now to my desires and dreams and actively taking action for my health, self-image, home life, and other arenas. Taking responsibility and not playing the victim in my life.”
- Alexandra
"Having the privilege to accompany women as they journey toward their highest selves is truly a gift.
I spent the past 24 years raising kids and now they’ve been leaving the nest. I thought, “What now?” The New Woman Masterclass had me immediately pursuing dreams I thought were dead or meant for the distant future. I liked the work we did on mindset and our brain’s ability to rewire itself with our effort.
I have gone from negative thinking and complaining to an attitude of gratitude based on skills I learned through the course.
This course has had an impact on my 3 daughters as well, as I have had the wisdom from The Woman School to coach them through difficult life moments. It has even brought about changes in my husband who was inspired to start pursuing his own goals.
He lost 25 pounds
since I started this journey! Most of my clients have been in the over 40 age bracket, and they are all amazed at what the Masterclass has done to energize their lives and bring about more fulfillment in this season of life.”
- Rosanne
"I feel better... hopeful... excited about each day. Little things that used to upset me aren't an issue anymore. I've learned to see things through grateful eyes. I am extremely thankful for all the tools that Mary has given me. This stuff is life changing!"
- Krystal
"I've been transformed more than anything I've seen in sooo many years! The woman school has given me tools to dream bigger than i've ever done before…The skills and mindset training have catapulted me to becoming an elevated version of myself and I have freedom to be able to effectively design the woman, the wife and mother, worker that i want to be as i elevate my own self image."
- Lucy
"The Woman School caused me to shift my mindset in ways that I didn't know were possible. It has impacted my spiritual life, relationship, attitude towards money, and even how I view my ability to do things I've been afraid to do. I am more knowledgeable about being a support to my fiance and how to encourage dreaming for us both."
- Kristen B.
“I am a huge person of imagination. Over time, that often gets pummeled and crushed by others or by experiences. The way January talks about imagination is, first of all, a huge affirmation of the way I naturally am and have continuously cultivated myself to try to remain. And as a person of so many ideas, sometimes they don't all end up getting accomplished or accomplished in a less organized way, or it becomes difficult to take so many dreams to reality. Being shown a process to articulate all of those dreams on paper, setting an actual steps to success method, is very helpful to me in ordering all those dreams beyond just imagining what they look like”
- Maria
“It's so valuable the way she speaks about how we cannot demand another person change, only that we grow and become our best selves, and that often inspires growth in others. This has been so helpful in my friendships, family relationships, and in my marriage.”
- Catie
"Having worked in the healthcare field for over 21 years, last year was one of the toughest periods in my life. Navigating the difficulties that came with the pandemic - both personally and professionally, I was at a point in my life where something needed to change…While going through the Woman School
Masterclass, I was able to redefine my goals and dreams in all aspects of my life. The Masterclass helped me to manage my mindset during times of extreme stress and overwhelm and at the same time, also helped to improve my relationships with my family, as well as elevating the skills of how I served my patients…I am so honored to now be able to walk with women through this life-changing program…”
- Jen
“The best investment I could make to prepare for post-grad life! So much clarity on who I am and what I want from life that I felt was otherwise missing from my college experience!! Highly recommend the course for any college women or young professionals”.
- Kate
"The Woman's School has given me an awareness of my thoughts and how they impact my life. I used to wake up dreading the day and go to bed feeling like a failure. I felt stuck. The Woman School taught me that my worth is not defined by my accomplishments or failings. It gave me the scripts to replace these negative thoughts and change my mindset so that I can learn the skills to become a whole woman, the best version of myself."
- Kim

“Every woman deserves the gift of an abundant life. January Donovan gives practical knowledge and simple frameworks that any woman can use to build the life of her dreams. By rewiring the subconscious mind, the transformation can be lasting. When women invest in themselves, we are able to transform the culture and create a beautiful future for ourselves and the generations to come.”
- Laura
“For anyone on the fence about the Masterclass, DO IT. My life has been completely changed. My husband constantly reminds me I’m not the woman I used to be. I really feel I’m able to give from a place of abundance, not from scarcity, and that I can offer sustained contribution to my family and the world. Lifetime member and lifelong learner! Looking for new scripts and how to hone the practice of crystallizing my dreams. So grateful for the new mindset and skills from January and TWS!”
- Debbie C.
“The Woman School has truly been an eye-opening experience for me. I’m so glad I made the choice to invest in myself…would recommend this class to every single woman!”
- Ashley
“Woman's School has impacted my life.I would not have had the courage to leave my prior job, go to grad school and pursue my dream if I hadn't done the master class with her. Thank you.”
- Donna
“The Woman School has made such a dramatic, lasting, and positive impact on my life as a mother, wife, daughter, and friend. So much so that my husband and I now refer to time as either "before January" or "after January." It has been such a light of Christ in my life and I could not be more grateful for this gift.”
- Melissa
“This class [The Woman School Masterclass] has helped me overcome so many of my obstacles that were holding me back from becoming the best version of myself…The Woman School has helped me rewire my thoughts and know that my worth is not wrapped up in how big my house is or how much I weigh…”
- Emmy
“The best part about being a Woman School Strategist and helping women is challenging women to face their fears and take action steps towards their dreams. It is very satisfying to coach them through growth and watch the collaboration of women as they open up and step out to help one another. Also, the Strategist team is top notch! I have gotten an abundance of support and encouragement through all the open office hours and the weekly team meetings.”
- Rosanne
"When I signed up to participate in The Woman School, little did I know it was exactly what I needed to prepare me for bringing our 4th baby home. Pregnancy, labor, and postpartum is a beautiful and wonderful experience - that can also bring new challenges. Because of my time with TWS, I was able to see these challenges as opportunities for growth and it gave me endurance when sleep was lacking and emotions were high. TWS is a must-have tool for any expectant mother. It's truly life-changing”
- Erin
"I wanted to take this moment to thank your whole [Woman School] team for this wonderful gift. Especially Ryan and January. I pray for you all, that the Lord continues to bestow his grace and generosity. This work is so important to me because it has brought the why in my life. Not only to my struggles, pains, and hardships but more importantly to my dreams, goals, vision, and future. The Masterclass that I took a year ago not only helped me be more open and positive but helped me contribute my light in a more wholesome way. I found more tools in my life toolbox and now my worth does not have conditions. My eyes are opened to how our Lord see me. Thank you!”
- Myra
"I've been in education for 20 years and knew very little about starting a business before becoming a Strategist. When I first signed on to the strategist portal, I couldn't believe the resources that were available to me. There was everything from how to help women strategize to how to build a business and share The Woman School with others. January continues to help the strategies grow through a weekly training on skill-building, and we have ample opportunity to ask for help along the way. We are encouraged and taught how to be our best in business and in life, so we can help other women do the same. We are surrounded by other strategists who support and cheer each other on in the journey.
This isn't a fairy tale. It is real imperfect people stiving evert day to be their best, so they can live a life of contribution and generosity."
- Mary Beth
“I have had anxiety for years jumping from one therapy to another but after one month into the program, I can see the radical transformation in my life already. I learned so much in the first month of training than I did in the last several years. I feel like we have been so deprived of practical skills that makes our life harder than it should. This masterclass is truly an answered prayer.”
- Suzane
“Before The Woman School, I was afraid to dream and design the life that I want. I put my job and others first rather than myself. I struggled to become the woman I admired and desired. After being introduced to Masterclass, I began to be more intentional about my actions and thoughts. I actually got to experience a dream that has been suppressed in my mind for years. And now I am doing something that I thought was never possible: teaching abroad. The Woman School equipped me with the tools I needed to reignite this dream and make it a possibility...and a reality. I am free to design the life that I want and choose to not live by default. Now that I am a strategist, I can empower other women to take action on their dreams and design the life that they want! I will always be grateful for The Woman School!”
- Cassandra
"This community alone is one of the reasons I became a Woman School Strategist!"
- Christi
“The Woman School has made such a dramatic, lasting, and positive impact on my life as a mother, wife, daughter, and friend. So much so, that my husband and I now refer to time as either, "before January" or "after January."
- Melissa
"This lesson has given me the tools necessary to combat a negative mindset that I have been dealing with the majority of my life. It has provided me with hope that with these skills and scripts, I can have interior freedom and break the generational chain of negative/ fixed mindset. Most importantly, I now feel equipped to raise my children with a positive/ growth mindset.”
- Nicol
"It's difficult to put into words all the ways that The Woman's School has helped me. When I first signed up, I didn't even think I needed the course. Most areas of my life were good. I was happy. My husband and children were happy. I thought this was life! But, WOW! After just the first class, I quickly realized that I was spending most of my time letting life happen TO me and not FOR me. I learned that I needed to make some changes setting boundaries, getting more organized, planning intentional time with the people I love, saying no to the things that I can't fit in my day, and allowing myself GRACE when I mess up. I feel better... hopeful... excited about each day. Little things that used to upset me aren't an issue anymore. I've learned to see things through grateful eyes. I am extremely thankful for all the tools that [my coach] Mary had given me. This stuff is life changing!"
- Krystal
“The Masterclass drew awareness to why I compare and compete with other women. I don't do that anymore. Now I know that other people's dreams are their dreams and my dreams are my own. There is nothing fruitful in comparison and competition. There is space for everyone to shine!”
- Mariana
“I'm taking the masterclass a 2nd time, and really enjoying it. One thing I was reflecting on today is how all the arenas really are connected. I'm focusing on my health right now, and today it dawned on me how it's helping my family. I make a healthy meal, and my family eats healthy and spends time together eating that meal.
My daughter also sees me eating healthy, and wants my food. I also made the decision to go for a walk today, and by doing that I spent time with my daughter, and we got our outside time that we both love!”
- Katie L.
“The purpose of a beautiful life is contribution!” This is so motivating. It really fuels me as I move towards a holier version of myself. I had never heard this language before. I appreciate when January talks about becoming a better version of ourselves so we can become a light to the world. We must decide who we become and then decide which skills we need to be her! GIving ourselves permission to dream and to have desires sets us on a path to wholeness and freedom.”
- Megan
"I am in tears... where has this been for me all these years. I have felt stuck feeling suffering because I thought that's just how it was. I feel hope right now."
- Sarah
“The Woman School renewed my hope that there was a way for me to get out of feeling stuck. Taking the Masterclass gave me the tools to use and brought the awareness I needed to break out of the many prisons I didn't realize I kept myself in. I no longer have to feel defensive and reactive towards others because I've learned how to manage my mind and free myself of the ruminating, negative thoughts I had.
The practical skills I've learned have made such a dramatic change in the way I show up for my marriage, the relationship with my husband and kids, and have really shifted my perspective on how I look at my life and the trials life may throw in my direction. I’m happy as a work in progress, and moving towards my dreams. I’ve found that it’s never too late to start living the life you want!”
- Kathy
“It really made me see the importance of looking at each day through the lens of contribution. How do I contribute to the ones who I love the most and even the stranger in the store? Having contribution in the forefront of my mind changes how I show up for my family and live each day.”
- Nicol
"The Woman School is a well-constructed journey of transformation. It is rich and enlightening, and the content alone is worth the price you pay for the program. But the real jewel of the experience was in the other women who accompanied me, and Mary, our wise and loving leader. I truly felt like I gained sisters and cheerleaders as we all embraced our growth and made it our own."
- Holly
“...I can already see a transformation happening in my home, my marriage, my parenting, and friendships as I strive to Intentionally work on being a better woman by intentionally elevating each moment toward the highest good!' January is teaching us the skills!”
- Elise
“The information and inspiration that The Woman School has provided would cost hundreds of dollars in counseling fees and major time/travel to those sessions. I wish I had these courses as a younger woman and young mother, but I can begin anywhere along the path :) Thank you for gifting us with this knowledge and practical life skills.”
- Marcia
"This course has been life-changing for me. And I love the upgraded courses where you show a ‘day in your life, especially the one where you show how you cook and clean as you go, and simplify the concepts. It inspired me so much that I had a family meeting that night and told my kids about our new house standard, and they were surprisingly very excited about it. The next week we practiced every day “putting things back”, by the end of the week my sweet 8-year-old son was such an efficient cleaner he didn’t even wait for his little siblings to help"
- Belle
“I was stuck.I had two small kids, no skills, and no long-term vision. I was taking in lots of information, but had no formation. This program has it all! Practical skill training for me to thrive as a mom. I'm more equipped to put my prayer life into action. I'm able to rewire my thoughts and actually find role models to guide me.”
- Diane
"Until I listened to the Masterclass, I had no idea that it was my own self-image that needed work. The lessons have taught me how to set boundaries, that it is okay and needed to set boundaries, and how to ahve difficult conversations with loved ones and others. I did not know that I forgot how to dream. A decade ago I realized that I didn't remember what I dreamed of being when I grew up. It took me a good minute to remember. Then I didn't know what to do. Now, I have tools to recapture some of those dreams, but most importantly, I have become a role model and someone that my friends turn to for sound advice.”
- Janet
“Taking the course helped me establish and hold very, very sacred getting up early and taking the time to fill my cup via prayer, meditation, (sometimes exercise), study, and getting ready so I can receive my boys. I made that a practice that became a habit that is now ingrained in my life. Taking that time for my mental/emotional health puts me in a better frame of mind for the day. I play offense on the day, not defense. Defensively putting out fires all day is too hard to come back from and feels defeating. It's critical I take care of myself so my boys have a sane mother. We all win when I do this, and I protect it at all costs.”
- Melanie
“The Woman School has changed and influenced my life in such dramatic and little ways. Thank you so much for all you have done and continue to do. I love being a part of this program and continuing my education by listening to the masterclass multiple times and moving on to more goals.”
- Mary
"I am in tears... where has this been for me all these years. I have felt stuck feeling suffering because I thought that's just how it was. I feel hope right now."
- Sarah
When I became a student and made the decision to start the interior work, I said, "Honey, I don't need a present for my bday, anniversary, Mother's Day, Valentine's Day, Christmas, etc..." The growth interiorly makes every other material gift pale in comparison"
- Catherine
Recently I have been affirmed on multiple occasions by my therapist that I am not the same person I used to be. I took a two-year hiatus from counseling and during that time I took the Masterclass. She told me to keep doing what I'm doing and is now referring the class to her other clients. THAT means something!"
- Karla
"My therapist let me go three months into the Masterclass stating that I no longer needed her"
- Carron
"The Woman School has given me the practical tools, guides, scripts, and questions that make me feel more confident about my abilities, free to fail, grow and serve"
- Pilar
“January has challenged me to continually strive to be a better woman. The issues and truth she discusses touch me to my core. It has been invaluable to realize that I am not alone in my daily struggles and crosses as a woman, wife, and mother. I believe January’s witness and message can reach all women wherever they are in their journey.”
- Becky
“I was in survival mode with 2 kids and another one on the way. The masterclass helped me stop shaming, blaming, and condemning myself. It taught me to manage my thoughts, and I'm now able to live with gratitude on a daily basis. I now have the skills I need to make my life less stressful, and I have more hope in myself and my ability in who lam”.
- Katie Z.
“The Woman School provides "the realization that we have the tangible practical tools to live in a space of peace, joy, and freedom rather than anxiety and stress"
- Maria
"Workout, completed! I could tell you that my body wasn't wanting to, but my mind was using my scripts from The Woman School and just repeating "I am a woman of solutions, not excuses" and "I am a woman of results" and I pushed myself through it. And I feel SO GOOD! (even though my legs do feel like noodles now...)"
- Hannah
The Art of Being a Woman Masterclass has blessed me with overflowing abundance. I am able to honor my vocation as a wife and mother, as well as serve women as a strategist. I have the tools I need to create a routine, manage my mind, and to strategically build the life of my dreams. I am more intentional about my contribution because I am living from a place of integration. The class has transformed all the arenas of my life."
- Laura
“Thanks to your ‘yes’ I have a tool kit of skills to draw on to manage my thoughts, routine , home and work towards my dreams.”
- Tanya
“The best investment I could make to prepare for post-grad life! So much clarity on who I am and what I want from life that I felt was otherwise missing from my college experience!!”
- Kate
“This past year my life has been transformed by The Masterclass. It has brought about a deep level of healing and internal freedom I didn’t even know was possible. I learned more deeply about myself, specifically how I have been spending way too much time and energy working to prove myself. I have found freedom in putting less pressure on myself and others. I learned it is okay to fail and not to be perfect. My worth is not based on what I do or how hard I work, but it is found in being chosen and loved by God. I am fully alive and living the dreams the Lord has placed in my heart. What a gift it is to share this class and experience with others through my role as a strategist.”
- Amy S.
“I learned more in 6 months through The Woman School Masterclass than my 4-year college degree. Every woman needs this.”
- Lisa
"Thank you January, sending you a big hug!!! <3 The Woman School has transformed my life, I am becoming the daughter, wife and mother that I have created to be. I didn't even know it and through the masterclass I was able to discover it. SO THANK YOU!!!"
- Johana
"Until I listened to The Woman School Masterclass, I had no idea that it was my own self-image that needed work. The lessons have taught me how to set boundaries, that it is okay and needed to set boundaries, and how to have difficult conversations with loved ones and others.

- Karla W.
“I am so touched and inspired to hear you speak with all your heart and soul on the art of being a woman, it moves me to tears. I had really never heard anyone speak like this about all our possibility, potentail and impact ever before, until I went through The Masterclass, I’m sure I wrote down every word you said back then. I still do! This course is seemless, stylish, beautiful and inspiring and I know the women who say yes to it will be struck with it’s content and challenges. My favourite quote so far from the course is, “I need every woman on deck!” Thank you January Donovan for your mission and for your yes. I’m so grateful to have encountered you, your work and this community.”
- Rachel
“You are either defined by a vision of the future of by an emotion of the past (mostly at the subconscious level). This in itself has great room for pondering and looking back; I can reflect about my own progress as the months go by! My actions are heavily influenced by my vision of the future! CLARITY has been a great gift of this program.”
- Marisol
“Six months ago, my husband noticed that I was cranky, unhappy, and anxious. Six months after taking the course, he said he noticed a remarkable change that I’m happier, more confident, and becoming more ‘me.’ He said before, I was merely surviving. After six months, I am now thriving! My husband is a frugal man, so I was surprised when he said The Woman School was worth the investment. His actual words were ‘It was worth every penny.’ Thank you for what you do!”
- Sheila
“January has challenged me to continually strive to be a better woman. The issues and truth she discusses touch me to my core. It has been invaluable to realize that I am not alone in my daily struggles and crosses as a woman, wife, and mother. I believe January’s witness and message can reach all women wherever they are in their journey.”
- Becky
“Long ago, Before The Woman school 19 years ago. Five years into our marriage, my heart was shattered into a million pieces. Due to Infidelity, causing insecurity, doubt, fear, and a lack of belief in myself. All I could hear in my mind was for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health. It was hard to progress in our marriage, but my husband and I decided not to take the easy way out. Together, we got closer to God. We read self-improvement books and counseling, which helped. We became entrepreneurs, learning to work together and discovering we had dreams in common and some that were forgotten. I felt stuck; something was missing. I was scrolling on social media, finding The Woman school is where I learned the skills to define goals to bring them to reality, finding myself became more confident, better marriage, wife, mother, and finding my contribution to serving more women through The Woman’s school .”
- Michelle
“I don't even know where to start with my gratitude for this program you have developed, January. The Woman School has truly opened my eyes to so much and I now feel so much more FREE. I am so behind all of this mission of living our lives through a lens of wholeness. A lens of integration. This is what we are made for and I am so grateful to have gone through this when I did. I am blown away at the ways in which God has opened up so much in my heart through this.
So much has unfolded through this and I feel so much more self aware and attuned to my thoughts and words and I just feel a lot more knowledgeable (and of course, there is always more to learn). It was such a gift to journey through this and be able to learn about how important it is to DREAM and go for our dreams. I remember when we started this and I had to work that dreaming muscle...and it was quite challenging. I was not used to letting myself dream. I did not realize truly until I learned through TWS how crucial it is to go for our dreams and to build this life of discipline and design that actually frees us to be able to do what God is inviting and calling us to do, in order to contribute in each season of our lives and live out our Original Design.
I cannot even fully articulate my gratitude for TWS. God truly prompted me to journey through this shortly after my time interning with the TOBI, and I am so glad I did. I feel like I am still taking it all in. I certainly hope to invest in lifetime access. This truly is such a valuable investment and the content is so valuable. I will need to consistently refer back to it. I feel so inspired, like I have been given the tools/formation that I need for this journey here on this side of Heaven.
I will say a part of me is like "Man I wish I had learned this sooner", but nonetheless grateful to have learned at this time rather than never. It's crazy how so many of us women aren't given these skills and training that prepare you for life!! I'm so filled with gratitude that I am now aware and can share what I have learned with others, as well as encourage others to journey through TWS too!
This is truly so formational and fruitful. I want every woman to journey through TWS. I think after going through this, that is a dream that has developed for me. For other women to go through this. There is so much that the Lord has unveiled to me through this and I am so thankful and excited, yet nervous (in the best way) for what's ahead. It just feels so good to dream again and to now have the tools to practically and integratively/sustainably go for my dreams.
I will also mention, the 145 DGA is a great blueprint for each season in living out our contribution and chasing our dreams and goals. I am so grateful to have learned this, and much more. It's wild how much my own thoughts were robbing me of my joy and keeping me stuck in crippling fear. I am grateful for the education and formation I have received here and the skills I have developed and will continue to develop over time.
I would love to one day be able to help lead women through this in the future, Lord-willing. This has truly transformed my life and I give all glory to God. Thank you so much January for your yes to this. For your gift of self. I am genuinely so inspired by you. I'll also vulnerably share that a deep dream of my heart for many years has been to be a wife and mama one day and while now feeling like I also have this deep dream to serve women in various ways that have unfolded as I have journeyed through TWS.
I now feel more empowered and inspired to believe that both can be possible so long as I create that 145 and be sure to intentionally design each and every arena. January, You are one of my role models and I hope to one day meet you. I am just so grateful.
Finally, I want to add that I think it is incredible that there is a man school too! TWS and TMS is going to create generations of healthier men and women. Men and women who are truly working towards living out authentically their masculinity and femininity. Fully alive. This is so important and so good for society.Thank you and Ryan for doing this work.
I am a big Theology of the Body fan and this formation is really so in line with how God truly made us to be and I am just excited and grateful TWS exists. Seeing something like this exist, gives me so much hope. I truly feel that so much goes back to knowing the goodness of who we are and how we were created to be.
Thank you SO much for your time here. I know this was lengthy but it's my heart to share how blessed I am by this. I absolutely LOVE this mission. Thank you so much and God bless you and your family! With the utmost gratitude,”

“Changes since The Woman School:
More confident
More vocal about your needs and wants
Willing to take more risks
Wanting more for yourself
Allowing yourself to dream bigger
Less concerned about others' opinions of you
Knowing you can be successful in your goals and be a great mother at the same time
Also, been more disciplined in taking control of your body with exercise and diet
This is what my husband Wes, sent me before our LIVE. Thank you, January!”

“My life has been transformed by the Masterclass. One of the greatest privileges that I have experienced is accompanying numerous women on this same journey. I at one point was stuck and as I have worked with women now in this past year, I have seen so many women who were stuck in the same way that I was regain their spark, regain their hope, reawaken their dreams, their deisres, their vision, that has either been dormant and put aside. I can’t tell you how it feels to watch women undergo this transformation because I truly believe that one woman who is living her best self can transform the world. And I firmly believe that together we can raise up an army of women who are unleashing their contribution, their dream, and as women become whole, others can lean against us to change the world. I encourage you to think about the impact that you can be having on countless women as a Strategist” - Angela S.
“What I realized when I said yes to becoming a strategist was that my yes was not about me, but rather the unique ripple effect it would cause. It is a privilege to serve women heart to heart and guide her along her unique journey to wholeness. You don’t have to look very hard to find a woman who is struggling, lacks confidence or is numbing her pain. This program gives the gift of freedom. Freedom to turn your wounds into a compass for your life and start living again – for we are called to thrive, not survive!”

"I used to always feel so busy and stressed and felt like I never had enough time to do all the things I wanted to do. I would constantly go from doing all the things to feeling completely burnt out, like I was constantly trying to give from an empty cup. In 2020, I went through The Woman School’s Art of Being A Woman Masterclass, and it completely transformed my life!
This past year has been the most peaceful and stress-free year of my life, even amid COVID. It wasn’t so much that all my circumstances changed for the better, in fact, I encountered many difficult circumstances and changes. But my mindset toward these things changed. Instead of getting frustrated with things not going my way, I learned to see that life doesn’t happen to me, it happens for me! And this has made all the difference in my life!
Ultimately, the Masterclass reawakened the desires of my heart and allowed me to dream again. It helped me realize that I can make a difference, but I must begin by working on myself and designing the woman I want to become"
- Teresa M.
"When I met with my woman school strategist for the first time, I remember her asking me to describe the life that I was currently living.
“I am tired.
I am stressed.
I am anxious.
I feel like all I do is yell at my kids.
I feel like I am just hustling for the evening so I can crash on the couch.
I am processing grief that I feel like I should be better at by now.
I feel like drowning and the next wave is going to take me under for good.”
She smiled at me and simply said, "What if it didn't have to be that way?"
That simple question was the spark that I needed to give myself permission to see my world through a different lens. Fast forward 6-months later, EVERYTHING CHANGED. That might sound really dramatic, and that is because it is. It was THAT dramatic of a change.
I now have vision and direction. I now have a strategy to go after the dreams I want. I know my purpose. I have peace. I have a marriage that looks to future with excitement. I wake up everyday excited to keep working towards the woman who I want to become. The Masterclass literally breathed life back into me, my marriage, and my family.
But...the most rewarding part about this wholeness journey has been passing that spark on to the next woman. It’s not something you want to keep to yourself. Giving another person—a friend, a family member, even a stranger—that same permission, that same spark, there is nothing like it. There is nothing more beautiful than when a woman’s spark catches fire. It’s an honor when you get to witness the light within her begin to change the world in front of her."

"I see many changes in my life since I started the masterclass:
1. I discovered I was ignoring my dreams as I thought there was no way to achieve them, this program made me realized that every dream in your heart has a reason to be there and needs to be explored and fulfilled , that is the only way you can contribute to the world . This starting to fulfill my dreams changed my whole life. I understood everything is possible.
2. I realized the problems of my marriage were not because of him but because I was not fulfilled and unmotivated . My marriage has changed in a very good way ! I still can't believe the change that took place only with the changes I made in my self . I am very happily married and I wasn't .
3. I discovered we need to live with a plan and not just reacting to the days as they come.
4. I understood that the happiness is not in arriving to the dreams and goals but in the process and the path of getting there.
5. I live with more joy and peace and that has opened also the way I connect to others.
6. I can see how now, I am giving light to others and that fills my heart with more love and joy.
7. I reconnected with God and that has been amazing.
8. It helped love my imperfectly beautiful live.
There are no words to explain ...."

“The Woman School was made for such a time as this! Every woman needs this class. It demonstrates that you can be fully yourself and that we each have a purpose as we are, as women. I was at a point in my life where I felt like a completely different person and was trying to piece together what it was I wanted to live for and work towards again.
TWS catapulted this puzzle into a masterpiece - I have a vision, I know my purpose and I am much more equipped because of the skill sets, perspectives, and action items taught in this class. My life truly feels more whole because of this better understanding and acceptance on how to integrate my personality and vision with all areas of my life. I feel gratitude for the feasts and resiliency for any famines that may come my way!
I recommend this class for those who feel completely lost and stuck as well as for those who are already on a path with a vision - you will not find better accountability and empowerment than in TWS.”

“The Woman's School is a gift that God gave me at the right time in my life.
Last summer I was nursing a breakup, walking with my mother, who had been diagnosed with breast cancer and heart disease, I used a mask everyday; working 60 hours a week as a health care worker. On some days I volunteered to use an interior mask so no one could see what was really going on in my life. I held myself together with Jesus, caffeine and a really good mascara. I was not living a life of peace or abundance.
The Woman's School came into my life in the Fall of 2020 and it has never been the same. I have been given permission to fail. I now believe that I am a woman who is worthy of living a beautiful life. I choose to be a woman who now honors her body by trusting the signals it sends me. I am designing the woman I want to be and I grow in self-knowledge every day. I am a woman with a the tools that give my future infinite possibilities. My dreams are actually happening.
Ven Fulton Sheen said, “The history of civilization could actually be written in terms of the level of its women.” The culture as it stands today wants to define me, but I am far too busy leveling up and creating a legacy to listen to what it has to offer me. Come join me in becoming WHOLE at TWS.”

“My husband and I just celebrated our 3rd anniversary, and our son, Athanasius, is 10 months old. I’m extremely grateful that this program came into my life when it did. My life has often been an example of “work harder, not smarter” (fun fact, my maiden name, was in fact, “Harder” and the name "Emily" means 'industrious'; I may have always taken hard work very seriously...). My husband, child, and God willing, future children will all benefit GREATLY from what I’ve learned.
My parents blessed me with what I would consider to have been a great childhood. I feel as though the skills and mindset I’ve gained from Masterclass have refreshed my appreciation for and given wings to that early formation."
Interestingly, while I was taking the course, one of the priests at my parish was giving a sermon series spread out over several weeks on the topic of "mental toughness" which ended up touching on MANY of the topics we were covering in Masterclass. Boy was that a big, obvious message from God! Some of the best confessions of my life have been in the past few months. I cannot tell you what a grace that was.
Perhaps the thing I’m most grateful for at this moment is that I feel well-equipped to deal with the “Martyr Mom Complex”. I can’t even begin to express how REFRESHED I was to be reassured that it was perfectly legitimate to want to avoid this AND to receive info on practical skills and mindset that would help me avoid MMC. I fully accept that suffering is a part of life but God gave us brains and as St. Francis de Sales said “a sad saint is a sad saint”.
I look forward to possibly becoming a strategist in the future and seeing everything TWS creates! TWS and the Donovan family will forever be in my prayers. Please say a prayer for me.
Thank you for being faithful to your vocations and dreams."
