Balanced+ Well Program
A 6-week program to help you ditch the stress and anxiety and gain confidence in YOU.
Mindset
Shift your mindset to reframe the thoughts and feelings holding you back.
Lifestyle
Create the habits to be a healthy
and happy you.
Confidence
Step into living your best life with confidence and awareness.
You are ready to ditch the stress and anxiety,
GET REAL with your confidence and SHOW UP in your own life.
You want to feel happier, to feel more inspired and intentional every day.
Doing the things you love, living the life you imagined,
focusing your energy on what matters most.
But, your stress is just adding up and you can’t seem to get it in check?
And your head keeps getting in the way with overthinking, overdoing, over-everything.
You’ve checked the boxes, and yet you desire something more. You know your life is “good,” but you know it could be even better.
Something is missing, but you’re not quite sure what it is.
You’re ready to level up.
You’re ready to expand. To grow.
You are not alone…..
60% of women are currently struggling with stress, overwhelm, and anxiety.
What if it didn’t have to be this way for you?
What if there was a better way to do life?
So that you could be purposeful, intentional, and joyful every day?
Here’s the truth…
it does not have to be this way!
The Balanced and Well Program can show you step-by-step
how to ditch the stress and anxiety and become confident in YOU.
The truth is…
Everyday stress can turn into anxiety. This can lead to a lack of confidence and self-doubt.
The reverse is also true: self-doubt can lead to worry… and then stress, and anxiety.
THE GOOD NEWS IS:
ANYONE CAN LEARN TO BE CONFIDENT, HAPPY, RELAXED, PRODUCTIVE, AND INTENTIONAL.
CONFIDENCE IS A HABIT AND A SKILL.
You need to go beyond ‘mindset’ and look at the psychology behind the unconscious thoughts and behaviors holding you back.
When you understand the science-supported hacks that support habit change, you'll realize it's a lot easier than you think it is to ditch the stress, anxiety, and overwhelm for good! Confidence can be learned so that YOU can fully believe in yourself and your ability to handle everything that life throws at you.
Does this sound like you?…
You are ready to feel excited, connected, and in full trust of whatever happens in your day-to-day.
You crave making healthier choices because you recognize you're overdoing it with the spending or an extra glass of wine, or even shopping.
You want to feel full of energy so you can be more present with your family because you simply can't keep dismissing your physical symptoms anymore (like constant headaches, stomach issues, insomnia, lack of energy, or shortness of breath.)
You are ready to make decisions based on your values and what is truly right for you, instead of imagining the worst-case scenarios of your family, your life, or second-guessing yourself.
You are ready to feel at peace with your internal dialogue and use your confidence to show up in the world and give that best version to yourself, your family, your work and your passions.
Can you imagine…
✔️ Being less stressed, anxious, and overwhelmed.
✔️Putting yourself on the front burner of your life by prioritizing your needs too.
✔️Not holding back from what you know you can actually do.
✔️Not constantly comparing yourself to others or feeling like an imposter?
✔️ Being more in tune with what YOU have to offer your community, your family, the world.
✔️ Sleeping at night without waking up with a running to-do list in your mind?
✔️Being present in your life with your family and loved ones.
✔️Focusing on what is important for you every day.
✔️ Feeling confident and enthusiastic again.
Here's the deal - if you said YES to any of the above……….
What if I told you there was a better way?
What if someone could take you by the hand (who has been through it all) and show you the exact steps to a more fulfilling life?
What if you could feel in control again and free yourself from the stress and anxiety that seems to be never-ending?
I'll promise you one thing - you CAN change.
And I can show you how.
Hi, I’m Meredith,
I’m obsessed with getting big results… without having my clients sit in the therapy office for months on end. I totally get it! Stress and anxiety took it’’s toll on me. I see you and get you because I have been there. I know there are not any shortcuts, but I also know there are solutions that get results, quickly.
I specialize in helping women decrease anxiety and create life balance because I have done it for myself. I have been a psychotherapist (LCSW) and life coach for more than 20 years. And I do get it, it took me years and years of being a therapist and life coach to realize that my goal to “have it all” had left me in a state of constant anxiety and stress that impacted me physically, mentally, and emotionally (stomach aches, headaches, a tight chest all the time, insomnia, TMJ and even vertigo).
It all got in the way of me living my happiest life. I knew something had to change! I wanted to change how I felt and to do that, I had to prioritize myself, create space for self-care and start paying attention to my thoughts and feelings, habits and actions.
What I discovered from prioritizing my needs was that I had so much more to give my family, my work, and myself, and my confidence became unwavering. Integrating easy practices that fed my soul, allowed me to be so much more present and intentional in my day-to-day life.
I have worked with hundreds of women using the exact formula that I teach in this program to overcome these common struggles. My life is not always balanced and I will always have stress, but I now know how to manage it daily and intentionally to create fulfillment and happiness. I’m deeply committed to personal growth. Let me help you with a commitment to yourself…
Here’s how we do it.
The Balanced + Well Signature Program was created with YOU in mind!
This results-oriented, proven framework is completely unique and one-of-a-kind. When you choose to join the Balanced + Well program, we will work together on Mindset, Lifestyle, and Confidence focusing on six areas of growth and development.
(We use these suggested areas as a framework and then pick and choose what’s right for you! This program is fully customizable based on your individual needs.)
Together, we will identify what's causing you stress and anxiety…..
then I will teach you the tools to manage it.
This is the exact structure, strategy, framework and timeline that has worked for 100s of women, like you.
There are a lot of therapists out there and there are a lot of life coaches out there. But what if you’re not sure which one you need? The great thing about this hybrid program and approach is that it combines both. You can get the expertise of a therapist and utilize innovative life coaching tools and strategies. Think of this program as a beginner’s guide to therapy and coaching. It will give you the blueprint to build your foundation and beyond.
Having BOTH is an option when you choose the Balanced and Well Signature Program.
This program is for you if you have tried therapy before but thought it was too old-school.
This program is for you if you have never tried therapy before but have always wanted to.
This program is for you if you have tried coaching but it seemed to be lacking in some way.
This program is for you if you feel like you have read all the ‘self-help’ books but you need more.
This program is for you if you want a modern approach and a solution that gets real results quickly.
What You Can Expect Inside!
We use these suggested areas as a framework and then pick and choose what’s right for you! This program is fully customizable based on your individual needs. (THINK OF THIS AND A PROGRAM WHERE YOU CAN LEARN THE MOST ESSENTIAL THERAPY SKILLS IN ONE PLACE).
Goal Setting
We begin with helping you to understand the stress and anxiety symptoms you may be experiencing so that you can uncover the things that are keeping you stuck. From there we will set realistic goals that will help you to take action. This week we will customize the perfect plan so that you can get crystal clear and experience real growth and change from the inside out. The goals you set will serve as a foundation for building confidence and being empowered to create lasting change and find more meaning in your life.
Bonus: We will spend time visioning what your life will look like and create solutions to get you there.
Self-Love
This is where we define your personal values and discover what it looks like to live life within these boundaries. We will identify your strengths and use them to create a rock-solid foundation for radiant confidence and unwavering self-esteem. You will learn what self-compassion is and feels like and how that makes all the difference in trusting yourself, accepting yourself and feeling connected to others. Learn the importance of healthy self-talk and positive mantras so that you can truly start to believe in the power of you. You will get real with your true self and learn to love and own who you are at the core so that you can show up and be the woman you want to be.
Mindset
This focus area will teach you to observe the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that are holding you back from being the very best version of yourself. You will begin to understand the relationship and power of thinking in more positive ways. The insight you gain will help you in ways you have not even imagined. We will dig in, together, and discover what limiting beliefs are not serving you anymore so that you can be your best self and show that person to the people you care most about. You will learn to let go of self-doubt and perfection in hopes that it will bring happiness and then make room for what matters most to you.
Healthy Habits
This week you will learn to finally prioritize your emotional, psychical, and spiritual health and well-being in order to decrease stress and gain confidence and feel connected to yourself as not only a mother but a person. We will uncover anything getting in your way (nutrition, sleep, exercise, journaling, asking for help). You will understand why self-care is the gateway to self-love and the key to your ultimate success. You will learn how believing in yourself is a habit you can make every day. You will finally feel like it’s not just ok, but essential to prioritize time for you.
Mindfulness
Uncover the power of mindfulness so that you can: accept what you can and can not control and be your best self even in moments of anxiety and stress. You will learn that stepping away is always an option in order to be in line with your values. By learning simple, science-backed, mindfulness practices you can calm self-doubt and increase confidence within minutes. You will feel more connected to yourself and who you want to be, present and peaceful. This type of mindfulness will create happiness, fulfillment, and a real sense of self-worth that is reflected in your life, relationships, conversations, and your outlook on life.
Tools For The Future
You will walk away with rock-solid tools, foundations, and understanding about what makes you calm, connected and clear. You will stand confidently in your life and new business and be proud of your accomplishments so that you can be unstoppable. You will feel connected to yourself in ways that will project you forward, with momentum, into your best life. You will have learned the skills needed to overcome stress and anxiety, quite your inner mean girl, and build confidence so that you can focus your energy on what matters most, be the woman you want to be and finally prioritize you.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
I have been a therapist for 20+ years. In this time I have found using an integrative approach works. Although I do love using coaching strategies, I feel integrating psychology-based theory helps us get to the root of the issue faster for lasting results.
-
Everyday anxiety is not a mental health diagnosis, but a term to describe individuals who are high-achieving and successful on the outside, but inside they are struggling with anxiety, overthinking, overwhelm, self-doubt, perfectionism, and people-pleasing.
-
The following models are tried and true. They are evidence-based, which means they are proven to work. Some of these theoretical orientations will include acceptance commitment therapy, positive psychology, sleep therapy, solution-focused therapy, behavioral activation, dialectical behavioral, and cognitive behavioral therapy. In addition health psychology, mindfulness-based stress reduction, the mind-body connection, and holistic psychotherapy will be utilized.

I understand you are busy. But when you are feeling stressed out, and overwhelmed you are not being as productive as you could be. Oftentimes, we can’t get out of our own way and end up being less productive.
So, if you traded out feeling stressed and overwhelmed for balanced and well, you would be more productive. Learning these skills will create time and put meaning back into a more productive busy.
-
Yes, you are. If you were not, you would not be on this page looking at this content and exploring this opportunity.
There are times in our lives when we need to prioritize our needs and dig in. In this way, we can be the best version of ourselves. When we prioritize ourselves, we also do a better job with our other life roles: as mothers, friends, and working professionals. This is your time to take care of yourself!
-
This program was designed to help you make productive change. It is based on theory, life experience, and working with hundreds of women over the last 20+ years. It gives you the skills, tools, and confidence needed to make lasting change.
-
The group program is really great if you want to get support from other women going through similar experiences as you. The individual program is an excellent choice if you want to be on your own schedule and move at your own pace. Both are amazing options and I have even had some women do a combination. If you're having trouble deciding, shoot me an email and we can discuss which option is best for you.
Testimonials
“I just finished the Balanced + Well Program and I can’t thank you enough. I feel so much better. I have tried webinars, courses, coaching and even full weekend retreats. Nothing has helped me to see the missing link was my own self awareness. Raising my awareness has boosted my confidence and my overall well being.”
“Love Meredith Van Ness’ approach to living your best life. It’s more than great ideas, but real-world practical techniques with accountability, thanks to the worksheets and journaling. The BalancedandWell worksheets helped me to focus – whether on de-catastrophizing, the super-helpful Downward Arrow, mindfulness in my own life, or the powerful goal-setting exercises. I now feel I’ve elevated my outlook, shaped my own definition of success and can focus on the life that I want to live. Thanks, Meredith, for these valuable tools and your inspiring outlook. Highly recommend.”
