Pick Up YOUR ROPE A 6-Week Private Coaching Program for Professional Women

Break free from what has been holding you back and finally make the decision you have been circling.

What This Program Is

Six Weeks. Three Steps.
One Decision You Stop Avoiding.

This is a private one-on-one coaching program for professional women who are capable, credentialed, and still holding themselves back from something specific. Over six weeks you will work directly with Kristen to identify what is stopping you, understand where it came from, and make the decision you have been circling.

Step One

Identify What Is Holding You Back

Name the specific belief, expectation, or verdict that has been limiting your potential. Where it came from. Whose voice it actually is. Most clients have never said this out loud before. This step changes that.

Step Two

Work Through It Deliberately

Understand why it has been running your decisions and make a deliberate choice to stop letting it. This is not journaling or positive thinking. It is the specific work of examining the belief, challenging it, and deciding it no longer gets to define what you reach for.

Step Three

Make the Decision

Apply everything to a real decision you are currently facing. Start the business. Ask for the promotion. Make the life change. Speak up in the room where you have always gone quiet. You leave this program with something concrete — a decision made, not deferred.

Kristen uses the rope as the tool that ties this entire process together. Not as a trick to learn — as a physical metaphor that makes the work tangible. Before your first session, a rope arrives at your door. By the time your last session ends, it means something completely different than when you opened the box.

More on how the rope works below.

The Question Worth Asking

Why Do I Keep Holding Myself Back
When I Know I Am Capable of More?

You are not stuck because you lack confidence.
You are stuck because your rope has knots in it.

The Framework

The Lasso Explains It Perfectly.

Here is how Kristen uses the rope to explain what is actually happening — and what becomes possible when it stops.

The rope that arrives at your door is something you can actually spin. The principles it teaches you are what change your life.

01

You Have Potential.

Think of it as a rope. Yours. Full length. A rope at full length can defy gravity and dance. That potential was given to you. It has always been there.

02

Life Hands You a Measuring Stick.

A circumstance. An expectation. A verdict about what someone like you deserves. Your potential does not fit its constraints. So without realizing it, you tie a knot in your rope to make it fit. Every time you believe the measuring stick, another knot forms. The rope gets shorter. It cannot dance.

03

What If You Untied the Knots?

You start the business. You ask for the promotion. You make the life change you kept putting off. You speak up in the room where you always went quiet. That is what your potential looks like at full length. That is what dancing with your rope means.

That Is What This Program Does.

Kristen spent years untying her own knots — from fifth-grade dropout to college graduate — and the rope gave her the language to teach it. Not a theory. Her own untangling, turned into a process you walk through with her, six weeks at a time.

Why This Works

Kristen Is Not Teaching a Theory.
She Is Teaching Her Own Untangling.

Kristen J. Lloyd

Replace with Kristen on stage or spinning rope

Kristen spent years carrying a rope full of knots she did not know how to name. Pulled out of school in fifth grade to work a dairy farm. Every morning she milked the cows and watched the school bus go by without her. Year after year her classmates advanced. She stayed in the same place. The measuring stick installed itself quietly: they are worth educating. I am not. And every year she believed it, another knot formed.

She did the slow, deliberate work of untying each one — one brave decision at a time — until she had built her own standard to measure herself by. That journey from fifth-grade dropout to college graduate is not the inspiration part of this story. It is the proof that untying the knots works. And learning to make a rope dance along the way gave her the perfect language for teaching it.

This is not a framework she borrowed. It is her own untangling, made into a process you can walk through too.

Before Session One

A Rope Arrives
at Your Door.

Inscribed with four words: Your dream is your dance partner.

This is not a prop. It is a symbol of the pledge you are making. You are picking up your rope. You are choosing to engage with your potential instead of letting a measuring stick decide how far it reaches.

By the time you finish the program, that rope will mean something completely different than when you opened the box. Because you will have untied the knots.

The Program

Three Phases. Six Weeks.
One Full-Length Rope.

Each phase builds on the last. You move through them at the pace your work requires, not a calendar's. Some phases take longer than others. That is not falling behind. That is doing the work.

Phase One

Find Your Knots

Identify the specific measuring sticks that have been tying knots in your rope. Name them precisely — where they came from, who handed them to you, and when they became the default voice running your decisions. You cannot untie a knot you have never found. This phase is about finding them.

Phase Two

Untie the Knots

Do the deliberate work of loosening each belief that has been shortening your potential. Understand where it twisted in. Then make the decision — not a feeling, a decision — that it no longer gets to define the length of your reach. This is ownership work. You are not erasing your past. You are deciding it no longer gets to measure your future.

Phase Three

Pick Up Your Rope

With the knots gone, pick up your full-length rope and learn to make it dance. Build the standard you actually want to measure your life against. Apply it to a real decision you are facing right now. Leave with proof in your hands that what looked impossible is just a skill you had not learned yet — because you will have already learned one.

The Transformation

Full of Knots.
Full Length.

Knotted

Measuring your potential against a standard you never chose

Waiting to feel ready and noticing that feeling never arrives

Inspiration that moves you temporarily and fades before Monday

Needing external approval before trusting what you already know

A rope full of knots that cannot reach as far as it should

Full Length

You know exactly which knots were shortening your reach, and whose hands tied them

You have untied them deliberately, not just intellectually

You have built your own standard and made a real decision from it

You trust your own judgment without needing the room's approval first

The rope on your desk is proof: your potential reaches further than the knots were letting you believe

Is This Right for You?

This Program Is Built For...

✦  This Is You

  • You are professionally capable and still operating below your own ceiling, and you have a sense the gap is not about skill
  • You keep waiting to feel ready and you have noticed that feeling never arrives no matter what you accomplish
  • Someone in your past gave you a very clear story about what someone like you is capable of and you are still living inside it
  • The books, the inspiration, the retreats have moved you temporarily and nothing has changed the underlying pattern
  • You want to understand the specific knot holding you back, not just feel better about the rope
  • You are willing to look honestly at where the knots came from and do the real work of untying them

—  This Is Not Right If...

  • You want inspiration without mechanism — motivation that feels good and fades by Monday
  • You are not willing to be honest about what is actually shortening your reach
  • You want a quick fix that changes how you appear without untying what is holding you back
  • You are looking for someone to validate every decision rather than help you trust your own
