A short, self-paced video course with Mavis Karn & Nikon Gormley

If you’re someone who works hard, cares deeply, and carries a lot on your shoulders, we want to say something to you that I’ve said to many others:

You don’t have to be so hard on yourself.
Really. You don’t. You could try being kind to yourself, just like you probably are to others.

We know it might feel like being tough on yourself is what keeps you going, what keeps you improving, achieving, doing right by others.

But in our experience, that pressure is often doing the opposite.


It’s making life heavier than it needs to be.

If you’re tired of second-guessing yourself,

If you’re holding everyone else together while quietly falling apart,


If you’re worn out from trying to get it all just right

This little course is for you.

What we’ll explore together

This isn’t about fixing you.

It’s about helping you remember something you may have forgotten:


That you are already okay.
You’ve always been okay.
You were never broken.

In this course, we´d like to share a few simple truths about the mind—how it works, how thought can trick us, and how much easier life becomes when we stop believing every stressful idea that floats through our heads.

There’s nothing to practice.
Nothing to manage.
Just something to realize.

Here’s what’s inside:

🎥 Why Are We So Hard On Ourselves?

Why self-criticism feels useful and why it isn’t.

🎥 You Are Wonderfully Made

A gentle look at the truth of who you are, whole, wise, and resilient.

🎥 Living (and Succeeding) with More Kindness and Less Effort

Things change when we stop pushing and start listening to our own wisdom.

Each video is about 10–15 minutes long.
You can watch them anytime, in any order, and come back to them whenever you need a reminder.

If you joined us for the live course…

This on-demand version may feel familiar.


It’s a quiet little way to revisit what we explored together, to sit with it again, gently.


And if someone you care about could use a little hope or light right now, it also makes a lovely gift.
