The framework became personal before it became professional.
After years in addiction-recovery services and retiring as Facility Director of Addiction Recovery Services at Indiana Women’s Prison, Jan faced a truth many people know well: having information does not automatically make it easier to apply when life becomes personal.
Following her mother’s death from dementia, Jan needed practical ways to do what she already knew. The EMBRACE Model™ and 6 P’s of Personal Growth™ grew from that need and evolved through her professional practice, teaching, training, and lived experience.

“You HAVE to go through this.”
This workbook changed the way I see myself. I came in skeptical and left with tools I actually use every single day.
— Community Group Participant“I finally stopped feeling like I was failing.”
The EMBRACE Model gave me a framework that made sense of my chaos. I didn't need to be fixed — I needed to be understood.
— Workbook Participant“This is different.”
Most workbooks feel like homework. This one feels like a conversation. I've returned to it three times and found something new each time.
