Join the Summer Caregiver Collective

“I’m doing a lot of spinning and thinking ‘I need these credentials and these qualifications in order to do the work that I want to do to make an impact.’ But I don’t. Because I’ve already been doing the work, and making the impact. And that’s a place that I need to focus more energy.” – Maura Kate M.

Caregivers who raise children to fight for social justice – but are unwilling to leave our generation’s mess for our kids to clean up later – you’re welcome here.

Members should have a basic understanding that social privilege and power hierarchies exist, and are our responsibility to dismantle together.

If you’re not sure whether you’d be a good fit for our community – ASK. Let me know your hesitations so we can determine if our space is right for you.

“I was nervous that I wouldn’t have time to do everything. And I didn’t! But it turned out that it was fine for me to miss activities and to come to the live discussions when there were videos I hadn’t watched yet, because the collective explicitly says that there’s no such thing as being behind. There isn’t pressure to finish or perfect everything right now, this week, or this summer.

Instead, there’s the expectation that we will all circle back around with new insight in the future, so there are many chances to notice something you need to think about, plan, or do and to set that observation aside so you can pick it up again later.” – Jillian W.

Summers are busy! Whether you’re traveling, or just swamped – everything is at your own pace, and you have 24/7 lifetime access.

“Before I joined, I was worried: Do I actually have time for this?

In reality: I didn’t have time NOT to do it. I was operating at a completely unsustainable pace and this accelerator has freed up so much mental energy and time.”

– Alison L. Member since 2022

Expect to spend anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours each week reflecting and discussing the activities with the members of your cohort

How much time you invest is really up to you. There’s no ‘falling behind’ since you’re here to work at your own pace.

Our live Friday virtual drop-in hangouts are a blast – but most of our conversations happen in the discussion threads or the asynchronous chat-group.


Even if you have questions or ideas to share at 2am on Saturday mornings, we’re here for your weird schedule.


We’re interested in hearing what matters to you in whatever way you find accessible to connect with us.

Before I freak you out with TOO MANY THINGS, all of the material below is available to play with – but not mandatory. Because our members have such diverse learning & engagement styles, we have so many different ways to mix & match how you move through this summer and beyond.

Collective members get access to:

> Short daily video messages each weekday to inspire ideas and invite discussion for folks who enjoy a little pep in each day.

> Six printable PDF guidebooks with reflection activities, brainstorm guides, check-lists and letter templates to organize your scattered thoughts, for folks who prefer mind-mapping and journaling.

> Access to a private group chat app to discuss your challenges, bounce ideas, and ask questions via voice, video, or text, for our friends who like to think-out-loud.

> Weekly live drop-in hangouts to reflect, process, and acknowledge our progress each week – we don’t have to process this alone.

> A 1-on-1 live wrap-up collaboration session with me (Ashia) via Zoom to simplify your commitments and motivate you to action for the rest of the year.

> Access to our habit-stacking accountability challenge group.

> A certificate of badassery after following through on the commitments you create for yourself.

> Year-round access to all the Summer Accelerator resources in our online portal for as long as the portal exists.

> A growing library of bonus resources that we compile at the end of each summer.

In the unlikely event that we’re WAY TOO POPULAR and all the spots in our first cohort fills up, I’ll split us up into multiple smaller group.

If necessary, we can arrange for you to audit the collective without joining a cohort to lock in this year’s rates before next year’s fee increase. This gives you access to the resources, but delays your participation if you’re not ready to engage with the group yet.


But don’t wait – this summer collective is designed to help you reclaim your time, enforce strong boundaries, and take agency over the way you care for others.


The longer you put this internal work off, the harder it’ll be to reclaim your agency when you finally do join us.

If by our fourth week, you have engaged with the resources and reflections to the best of your ability, you’ve shown up to the live hangouts and engaged in the chat group – and it’s still not working for you, send me all of your completed discovery activities before the end of the collective, and I’ll send you a full refund.

Since there is such limited space in the collective, I can’t offer refunds if you just don’t review or engage with the work.
For more info, check out the full return policy.

The resources I provide for each member are designed to be accessed by a single person only.

If you’d like to join the collective with a friend or a group, contact me to coordinate a group rate.

If you can’t afford the cost of enrollment, that’s why I offer a sliding scale.

Sharing locked content is a violation of the terms & conditions (and it’s stealing).

Enrollment opens to the public in May. If you’d like early access, join the wait list to get first dibs on our limited spaces.

Our Friday drop-in hangouts over Zoom will not be recorded.


In our chat group, you can leave your recordings up for the whole duration of the summer, or delete your messages any time you feel necessary.

In previous collectives, we’ve had members who had too much going on to engage in the group, but wanted access to the resources (and to lock in prices before next year’s increase.)

In which case – go for it! Feel free to lock in this year’s rates and start reviewing the resources at your own pace.

Since returning members have free lifetime access to later Summer Collectives, you can engage with us next year when things settle down.

“Between some big life changes and the pandemic, I’ve been stuck in a pattern of crisis triage followed by exhausted inertia for a while. I went into the accelerator hoping to clarify my vision for the future and formulate a plan of sustainable action.

After the collective – I’m 1000% clearer. Looking at opportunities through the lenses we discussed in the collective has helped me say no to tasks that someone else can do better.

I’m excited to free up bandwidth and time I would otherwise give away to the first person who asked – so I can spend it on objectives that matter to me.” – Tricia L.

If you’re worried you’re not ready – We have a no-risk refund guarantee, so try it out for a few weeks and see whether you enjoy hanging out with us. Alternatively – reach out to me with hesitations and concerns and I’d be happy to tweak the program to your concerns or recommend an alternative resource so you’ll be ready to join us next year.
