The Bigger Yes is taught by Laura McKowen, the bestselling author of We Are The Luckiest: The Surprising Magic of a Sober Life and Push Off From Here: Nine Essential Truths to Get You Through Sobriety (and Everything Else) and founder of The Luckiest Club.

Laura has been sober since 2014, is a certified recovery coach (IAPRC), and has been a 200 RYT certified yoga instructor since 2009.

Your Bigger Yes is who you actually are, underneath all the roles, jobs, busy-ness, and noise of life. It’s the deeper truth beyond who you were told to be, or who you feel you should be.

Over the course of seven weeks, you will explore this deeper truth, stoke your courage, and begin to develop a practice of devotion.

This course is designed is for anyone who wishes to live in deeper alignment to their center—to the place that I call the "diamond in the center of your chest”—but needs the guidance and support to get there.

It is the answer to the question: What do you really, really, really want?

“Laura’s guidance was exactly what I needed to stop running from myself and face questions and feelings about a crucial transition I needed to navigate.”

7 Weeks, 6 Topics

1—FAITH: Faith is the foundation of our work. We will explore what it means to have faith, to believe and trust in ourselves and life.

2—TRUTH: To move forward, we must understand where we are. We will look at our lives as they are today so we can understand more about where we want to go.

3—CLARITY: Building from truth, we find clarity around your desires, including defining your Bigger Yes and all that it means in your life.

4—ALIGNMENT: Orienting toward a different destination requires shifts big and small. Here, we will discuss what it means to align with our truth, how it actually looks in real life, and how we remain resilient through the process of change.

5—DEVOTION: Bringing your Bigger Yes to life requires a dance with something bigger than yourself. A dance of surrender, patience, effort, and devotion. We will discuss devotion as a practice, a labor of love, and an offering.

6—INTEGRATION: In our final week together, we will come full circle and integrate the lessons and experiences of the course.

  • "I loved it. It changed my life."

    -Molly G
