Private Consultations

What’s a family action plan going to do?.. umm for what? We’re a family, we’ve always been a family. We like the same things, kinda… and enjoy doing more or less the same stuff and it’s been working, kinda. What is a family action plan?

Just some of the random thoughts that ran through my head when I contemplated signing up for it.

We signed up anyway, and one weeknight my husband and I sat in front of our computer while Racheal talked us through how it worked.

Together and as a couple, we shared and questioned, asked and answered, wondered aloud and pondered deeply. We weighed ideas, pros and cons. We prioritised and we tossed out. Finally, with Racheal ever-present and with an innate wisdom of knowing just when to pull and push, probe and prod, we came up with our family’s 2021 action plan.

It sits printed and framed, on the wall in the most important room in our house. But it is more that just a frame on the wall.

We bring it down every time we meet as a family. We refer to it any time decisions need to be made, small ones and big ones – is that sleepover at a friend’s place in line with what we hold dear, is Papa taking up that outstation posting for 2 months helping with our goals, should Mama take up that diploma course, do we cater meals on fixed days a week as opposed to eat out randomly, do we go ahead and adopt that pet kitten.
We bring it down off the wall and use it to affirm ourselves and each other.

The kids know they can hold Papa and Mama accountable to the values on our plan and call us out. This plan is so much more than a pretty picture on the wall. It has brought us closer together. It has helped us be what we’ve always been – a family of distinct, unique individuals, united in a common and higher purpose.

I can’t imagine NOT having done it now!

I signed up for the Family Action Plan because I felt like I needed to have a little guidance and help in focusing what is important for my family.
On days when things get overwhelming and I can’t think straight anymore, it Really helps to look back at the plan and have a clear sense about what we want to achieve and how to get there.

Racheal is incredibly intuitive and helps you peel back the layers to get to the heart of what truly matters for your family.

And at the end of the day, when your intentions are clear, it really makes the thousands of decisions made regarding your family so much simpler.

To be honest, we didn’t know what a Family Action Plan was. We knew we’d need help to put all the theory into practice and found that the Action Plan excercise was just that. It brought about some deeper conversations between us and it put onto paper what we had fumbled through in our head. It also helped us put some personal structure and framework into our parenting.

If you need a practical way to frame your parenting and a place to start from in your family, this would be the Plan to do.

This Action Plan enabled us to craft the values and beliefs our home is based on and build a foundation from which we can start other conversations/plans.

Expect to be pleasantly surprised, expect interesting conversations with your spouse, expect laughter and amusement and expect to have a framework in place to be able to start a new journey in your parenting.

I did the private session plan with Rachael hoping for more clarity and direction it did just that. This tool gave me a lot of insight into what was important to me. It helped me understand where to channel my focus as well as explain the goals I was most attracted to. This is a great tool you can use for your own goals or for your family if you have shared goals. If you’re curious you should definitely give it a try! It will give you greater understanding of your motivation and goals.
