Defined, Undefined, & Unwritten™
Workshop I: Who Have I Learned to Be?
Women 30+ | $225 | Limited to 10 Participants
Continental breakfast, lunch, workshop materials, and guided personal exploration are included.
Reserve Your SeatYou Know the Roles You Play.
You may be a mother, daughter, partner, friend, caregiver, professional, leader, or any number of things.
Some roles you chose. Others developed through family, culture, relationships, expectations, and experience.
Which roles feel familiar? Which have changed over time? And what else contributes to how you understand yourself?
Who have you learned to be?
You don't need to be unhappy with your life or looking to reinvent yourself to explore that question.
Defined. Undefined. Unwritten.
DEFINED.
By roles, relationships, experiences, expectations, responsibilities, and everything you have learned about who you are supposed to be.
UNDEFINED.
An opportunity to consider which descriptions fit, which have changed, and which you may want to examine more closely.
UNWRITTEN.
Because your story is still unfolding. There may be interests, perspectives, and possibilities you have not yet explored.
Undefined doesn't mean lost.
It can mean not yet decided.
You Don't Have to Be Trying to Find Yourself.
Women are often encouraged to “get back to yourself” or “find yourself again.” But what if you're not looking for a former version of yourself?
Maybe you're comfortable with many of the roles you occupy. Maybe some have changed. Or maybe you're simply curious about how they became part of your identity.
Our families, relationships, communities, cultures, and life experiences all contribute to the stories we tell about ourselves.
You don't need a crisis, a turning point, or a desire for change to explore that question.
Defined, Undefined, & Unwritten™
Defined, Undefined, & Unwritten™ is a personal exploration series, informed by concepts from psychology and human development, that invites women to examine the roles, experiences, expectations, and beliefs that have shaped how they understand themselves.
The series asks one central question:
This isn't about abandoning the roles that matter to you.
You can love being a mother and still wonder who you are outside of motherhood.
You can value your career and recognize that your profession isn't the entirety of your identity.
You can love your family and still examine how family expectations have shaped you.
You can value being dependable and still be curious about how that became part of your identity.
The goal isn't to strip away your roles.
It's to explore how those roles fit into the larger picture of who you are.
Who Have I Learned to Be?
Understanding who we are today can begin with exploring how our identities developed over time.
During this interactive workshop, we'll begin examining how roles, relationships, expectations, culture, responsibility, and life experiences influence identity.
This first workshop focuses on noticing influences, asking questions, and developing a fuller picture of the person you have learned to be.
More Than a Motivational Conversation.
Through structured activities, individual reflection, and conversation, we'll explore identity from several different perspectives. You'll leave with your completed materials to revisit afterward.
Life Timeline
Begin looking at the experiences and transitions that have influenced how you understand yourself.
Role Timeline
Examine the roles you've carried throughout different stages of your life - and when those roles began becoming part of your identity.
Identity Wheel
Look beyond titles and responsibilities to explore the different dimensions that contribute to your sense of self.
Johari Window
Explore what you recognize about yourself, what others may see, what you choose to keep private, and what may still be waiting to be discovered.
We'll also use interactive technology, including opportunities for anonymous responses, to explore shared experiences within the room without requiring anyone to publicly disclose personal information.
You Don't Have to Tell Strangers Your Business.
Let's make that clear.
This is not a workshop where you'll be expected to sit in a circle and tell your trauma story.
You decide what you share.
The workshop invites honest self-reflection, but participation does not require publicly disclosing painful experiences or explaining your personal history to the room.
Some activities will allow for anonymous participation so you can engage, reflect, recognize patterns, and learn from the collective experience without feeling pressured to reveal more than you choose.
You can participate without performing vulnerability.
This Workshop May Be for You If…
Or maybe nothing is particularly “wrong.”
You're simply ready to become more curious about you.
What This Workshop Is & What It Isn't
What It Is
Defined, Undefined, & Unwritten™ is a structured, educational personal exploration workshop informed by psychological concepts.
Activities draw from concepts in psychology, human development, identity, family systems, and reflective learning.
You do not have to be a current client of Progressing through Therapy or Seeking Self to participate.
Current therapy clients are welcome.
What It Isn't
This workshop is not psychotherapy.
Participation does not establish a therapist - client relationship with either facilitator.
The workshop does not provide mental health diagnosis or treatment and is not a substitute for mental health care.
If you are experiencing an acute psychiatric crisis, active suicidal thoughts, or significant psychiatric instability, this workshop is not an appropriate substitute for professional assessment or treatment.

Who Have You Learned to Be?
Maybe you already know.
Maybe you're beginning to question it.
Maybe this is the first time you've considered the difference between who you are and who you've learned to be.
You don't need to have the answer before you walk through the door.
That's what we're coming together to explore.
