Is this for me? What’s included Dates & investment

Maybe life feels heavier than you want it to.

Perhaps there isn’t one particular thing. Life just feels like a lot.

You’re thinking about everything. Questioning yourself. Trying to get it right. Carrying more than you need to on your own.

And somewhere underneath it all, you wonder: Could there be another way to move through this?

A way to move towards what you want without constantly pushing.
To make decisions without endlessly questioning yourself.
To navigate uncertainty without needing to know exactly how everything will turn out.

To be present in your life and enjoy it, even when there are challenges to navigate. To be ambitious when you want to be, while still having space and room for the things in your life that you love.

A way of living that feels gentler on you and your body.

That’s what Living Lightly is about.

Learning to move through work, relationships, decisions, change, motherhood, ambition and everyday life without carrying quite so much pressure.

Living Lightly can help you…

When worry, doubt or stress is taking up space in your mind.
When you keep questioning a decision.
When you don’t know what comes next.
When you want something to change, but can’t quite see how.
When you’re putting pressure on yourself to get it right.
When life feels like a lot to carry.
When there’s less room for the things that matter to you.

A lighter way forward

Less mental noise. More room to breathe.

When something is weighing on you, you have somewhere to bring it. You can step outside your own perspective, untangle what’s going on and hear yourself more clearly.

More trust in yourself and your decisions.

You can spend less time going back and forth or looking for reassurance, and feel more confident taking the next step — even when you don’t know exactly how things will turn out.

Move towards what you want, with less pressure.

You can turn what you discover through coaching into practical changes in your work, relationships and everyday life. Make progress without needing the perfect plan or pushing yourself harder.

More space for the life you want to enjoy.

Less energy spent trying to get everything right. More room to be present with the people you love, enjoy what’s already here, and pursue what matters to you in a way that feels gentler on your body and mind.

How the coaching works

Living Lightly brings together two small group coaching sessions and one private session with me each month, with resources to support you along the way.

Two small group coaching sessions each month

These are your places to land throughout the month. Bring the decision you’re going back and forth on, the thing you can’t stop overthinking, the uncertainty you’re navigating, or simply what’s feeling heavy.

We look at it together. You’ll be coached through what’s going on, gain perspective and find a lighter, easier way forward.

There’s no need to arrive with everything figured out. You simply bring what’s real for you right now, and we work from there. You receive not only through your own coaching, but through witnessing someone else’s coaching also.

A private session each month

Alongside the group, you’ll have a 60-minute private session with me each month — a space to focus fully on what’s happening for you.

Together, we can explore the patterns keeping you stuck, create space around what you’re carrying and help you hear yourself more clearly. We’ll turn that clarity into practical next steps, so you can move forward with less pressure and more trust in yourself.

A private podcast for our group calls

Each group call will be added to a private podcast, so you can catch up in your own time if you can’t join us live. You can also send me your question beforehand, and I can coach you on it during the call so you can listen back in your own time.

Resources and key concepts

You’ll have access to a private programme portal with audio coachings, videos, worksheets and practical guides to support what we explore together.

Think of it as a menu you can dip into when you need it. There’s no pressure to work your way through everything. I can point you towards what’s most relevant to you.

The richness of being in this together

Alongside your private session with me each month, you’ll be part of a small, supportive group of women — a space where you can speak honestly, feel supported and realise you’re not alone in what you’re navigating.

You receive support through your own coaching, and through being part of other women’s coaching too. You’ll often see yourself in someone else’s experience, gain a new perspective, or hear something that shifts the way you see your own situation.

This is where so much of the richness of Living Lightly comes from. The coaching is shaped by what you bring and what emerges in the room — the questions, insights and real-life experiences that deepen the experience for everyone.

I’ll gently guide our conversations so there is plenty of support available for each person. You don’t need to share before you feel ready, or arrive with the “right” question. You can receive a lot simply by listening, recognising yourself in someone else’s experience and allowing a new perspective to emerge.

Living Lightly may be for you if…

You have a habit of putting pressure on yourself to get things right.
You spend a lot of time thinking things through, second-guessing yourself or looking outside yourself for reassurance.
You’re navigating a decision, a change or an in-between season — and you don’t quite know what’s next.
There’s something you want to change, but you’re not sure how to move towards it without making life feel even heavier.
You want to approach work and life from a place of deeper self-belief, rather than pressure or proving.
You’d love somewhere to bring what’s coming up in real life, rather than carrying it all around in your own head.
You want support to move forward, but you don’t want another programme that gives you more things to do.
You want life to feel lighter — even if you’re not entirely sure yet what needs to change.

The details

We begin in October

Our first gathering will be a welcome call on 15 October. It’s a chance to meet the other women, settle into the space and begin building the connections that will support us over the next three months.

Group coaching

Our group sessions will be held on Thursdays at midday NZ time and will run for approximately 60–90 minutes. There are two group sessions each month. If you can’t make a session live, every session will be recorded and shared through the private podcast.

Private coaching

You’ll have one private session with me each month. These sessions will be held on Thursday mornings or Tuesday afternoons.

Three months, with the option to continue

Living Lightly runs from October through December, with our final session on 17 December.
At the end of the three months, you’ll have the option to continue if you’d value ongoing support.

Your investment

$500 NZD per month for three months.

October–December

A few questions you might have

What if I can’t join the group calls live?

Every group call is recorded and added to our private podcast, so you can listen in your own time. You can also send me a question beforehand, and I will provide you with the coaching during the call for you to listen back to later.

Do I need to feel comfortable sharing in a group?

You might be surprised by how naturally this comes. Creating a safe, supportive space for every woman is really important to me, and as you spend time in the group, you’ll likely find yourself recognising so much of your own experience in what other women are navigating.

There’s something powerful about realising you’re not the only one thinking, feeling or working through something. That shared experience creates a sense of safety and connection, and often makes it easier to be open, honest and receive support.

You can, of course, share at your own pace — and you’ll also receive so much through listening to the coaching and experiences of other women.

What if I’ve worked with you before?

You’re very welcome here. Living Lightly is a place to bring what’s happening in your life now — with support to apply what you already know, deepen your understanding and build on the shifts you’ve already experienced.

There’s something so rich about a group of women coming together with a shared intention to live more lightly. You’ll learn through the questions, challenges and experiences other women bring, often discovering something you wouldn’t have come to on your own.

Familiar ideas can land in a deeper way, and new concepts and insights will emerge through the coaching and conversations we have together. The work is shaped by what’s happening in your lives, so there’s always something fresh to explore.

Alongside this, you’ll have your private session with me each month to focus fully on whatever is most present for you.

I’m really busy. Will this work for me?

Yes — and this is actually part of why I created Living Lightly the way I have.

This isn’t another program full of content to work through, things to implement or homework to keep up with. The point is to have a place to come each month, bring what’s going on in your life and get support with what’s actually in front of you.

There are two group coaching sessions and one private session each month, with the rest of the program there to support you as you need it. You don’t need to find hours each week to make the most of it.

It’s designed to lighten the load, not add another thing to it.

About Annabelle

I’m Annabelle Matson, a coach and the host of Steep Your Soul.

For the past 11 years, I’ve coached women around the world through career changes, relationship challenges, big decisions and seasons when life feels overwhelming. Across private coaching and group programmes, I help women understand what’s beneath the overthinking, self-doubt and pressure — and find a gentler way forward.

My approach combines work with your thoughts and beliefs, emotional processing, nervous system support and practical next steps. We make space for what you’re feeling, explore the patterns that keep showing up, and turn what you discover into changes you can use in everyday life.

Before becoming a coach, I worked in corporate Human Resources, so I understand the demands of professional life and the pressure to keep performing.

I’m also a mum to two young children, and I’m practising what it means to live lightly alongside the realities of work and family life.

I bring this experience to Living Lightly: thoughtful coaching, space for honest conversations, and support to hear yourself more clearly and trust your next step.

I’d love to have you.

There are limited places for this intimate group.

You don’t need to know exactly what you want to work on. Share what’s drawn you here, or any questions you have, through the short enquiry form. I’ll be in touch so we can explore whether Living Lightly feels like a good fit.
