Taking the Wheel: The Course
You’ve read the story. Now it’s time to look at your own.
Taking the Wheel: The Course is a guided journey for women who are ready to stop running on autopilot and start paying attention to where their lives are actually going.
The book tells my story.
The course gives you the space to explore yours.
You’ll be invited to pause, reflect, question some of the things you’ve always believed, and become more aware of the choices, patterns and people influencing your direction.
Not because there is something wrong with you, but because sometimes we get so busy living our lives that we forget to check whether we’re still driving them our way.
I’m ready. Save my place.
Next course begins February 2027
THIS IS YOUR INVITATION TO PAUSE
You’ve been capable, reliable and holding things together for a very long time.
Perhaps you’re the one everyone turns to. Perhaps you’re very good at getting on with things. Perhaps you’ve become accustomed to carrying everything that you’re not even sure what you would put down if someone asked you to.
This course is an opportunity to stop for a moment.
Not to fix yourself.
Not to become a different person. But to get curious about where you are, what you’re carrying, what may no longer fit, and where you might want to go from here.
"The aim isn't to leave the course with your entire life mapped out. It's to leave with greater clarity about where you are, what matters to you, and what you want your next step to be."
This programme is for you if…
- You are ready to be honest about where you actually are, not where you think you should be
- You have been living for other people’s expectations and you are tired of it
- You want practical tools, not just inspiration — things you can use long after the programme ends
- You are willing to sit with uncomfortable questions and let the answers come honestly
- You want to be part of a small, safe group of women doing the same honest work
- You have read Taking the Wheel and want to go deeper, or you are completely new to this work and ready to begin
This programme is not for you if…
- You are looking for quick fixes or instant results — this work takes time and honesty
- You are not ready to look at your own patterns and choices with an open mind
- You cannot commit to the eight weeks, including the Wednesday evening live sessions
- You are currently in crisis and need professional therapeutic support — this programme is coaching, not therapy
From My Story to Yours
I didn’t create this programme because I have life figured out. Quite the opposite. I built it from my own wrong turns, difficult choices, unexpected detours and moments when I had to stop, rethink and choose again.
And after fifteen years of sitting with women through their own difficult seasons, I’ve learned something:
We all have our story.
Some chapters we choose, and some are written for us.
But there are moments when we get to pick up the pen again.
We can pause, take a breath, look honestly at where we are and ask:
What is the best possible next step for me?
That is the work we’ll begin together.
The Tools For Your Journey
At the heart of the programme are practical tools I’ve developed to help you look at your life with honesty, curiosity and compassion.
THE P.A.U.S.E. PROCESS™
My signature process gives you a simple way to slow things down and hear what is really going on beneath the noise.
It isn’t about finding all the answers. It’s about learning to ask better questions and becoming more willing to listen to the answers that are already within you.
THE JOURNEY MAP
A soulful alternative to the traditional life wheel, the Journey Map invites you to look at the different roads of your life and consider where you are, what feels good, what feels stuck and what may be asking for your attention.
Along the way, there will be reflection, questions, conversations and practical exercises designed to help you make sense of what you discover.
And, because this is real life, there may be a few potholes along the way. We’ll deal with those too.
Evelyn Alessandri
This isn’t about me telling you what to do. I’m not going to hand you a list of instructions for how to live your life. I don’t have one. What I can do is create a space where you can slow down enough to hear yourself. I’ll ask the questions. I’ll offer the tools. I’ll share what I’ve learned, including the things I got spectacularly wrong. And I’ll walk alongside you while you begin to work out what feels right for you.

A Small Group. A Real Conversation.
This will be a small, intentional group experience, with limited places so there is room for meaningful conversation, reflection and individual attention.
There will be guided sessions, practical exercises, reflection between sessions and ongoing support as we move through the journey together.
The exact format and content are still being shaped, because I want this programme to be thoughtful rather than rushed.
What I can promise is that it won’t be another course where you download a workbook, tick a few boxes and forget about it three weeks later.
The is about actually stopping long enough to notice.
Questions you might have
Not at all. The programme is designed to work whether you have read the book or not. If you have read it, the course gives you a structured way to go deeper into the material. If you haven’t, the programme is entirely self-contained. The workbook is included in your enrolment, so you will have everything you need.
Life happens. If you miss a session, a recording will be available for [X] weeks so you can catch up in your own time. That said, the live sessions are where the deepest work happens — they are not something you want to miss regularly. If you know in advance that you cannot commit to the majority of Wednesday evenings, this cohort may not be the right time for you.
No. This is coaching — which means we are working with where you are now and where you want to go, not unpacking the past in a clinical sense. If you are currently experiencing significant mental health challenges, I would encourage you to seek professional therapeutic support. This programme works best as a complement to, not a replacement for, that kind of care.
The weekly pack takes approximately 30–45 minutes to read and work through. The daily WhatsApp prompt takes about one minute. The Wednesday live session is 90 minutes. The Thursday journal prompt is optional but recommended — about 20–30 minutes. In total, expect to spend around three to four hours per week on the programme, including the live session.
Sessions run on Wednesday evenings at [TIME] South African Standard Time (SAST). If you are in a different time zone, please check the equivalent time before enrolling.
One-on-one soul coaching is available separately. If you are unsure whether the group programme or individual coaching is right for you, feel free to reach out before enrolling and we can have a brief conversation.
You don't need to know where you're going
You don’t need a five-year plan. You don’t need all the answers. You don’t need to know exactly what needs to change. You need to be willing to pause, take an honest look at where you are and consider what might be possible from here.
You may not be able to choose every road life puts in front of you, but you can choose how you meet it.
And sometimes, the most important journey begins with something very simple:
Taking the wheel.
You have been reading this page for a reason.
Something brought you here. Maybe it was the book. Maybe it was a conversation. Maybe it was that quiet voice you have been half-hearing for a while that says: something needs to change.
Whatever it was, that is enough of a reason to begin.
Ready when you are.

Kind words
From beautiful souls who’ve walked beside me.
“I came into this programme thinking I needed to sort out my career. Eight weeks later I realised I needed to sort out my relationship with myself first. Evelyn held the space for both without judgement, and I left knowing exactly who I am and where I am going.”
“The Journey Map alone was worth the entire programme. Seeing all seven areas of my life laid out honestly in front of me — and then seeing how much had shifted by Week 8 — was one of the most powerful experiences I have had.”
“I have done a lot of personal development work over the years. This was different. Evelyn doesn’t just teach the tools — she lives them. That makes all the difference.”
