The Path to Peace

An online group stress relief program for ambitious working moms created by Justine Carino, Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Anxiety Treatment Expert.

Hey there ambitious mom…

I know you are juggling jam packed weeks of managing your own career, your children's school schedule and activities, as well trying to have time with your partner, see your friends and maybe even squeeze in some time for yourself. Oh, don't forget the mental load of the to-do list of household tasks to keep the family running. Seems impossible, right?

You feel tremendous guilt and shame from the way you have been yelling at your kids and snapping at your spouse. It’s because you are highly irritable and resenting all that you have to do, but you do it all anyway because who else would do it? You overcommitted yourself, again. You have been acting out of control because high functioning anxiety and stress has become your baseline these days and you feel extremely burnt out.

You are an ambitious working mom but your pattern of doing too much is catching up to you. You’ve been craving some down time and a mind free from worry and racing thoughts. You want the tools that will allow you to approach your day with less stress and overwhelm. You want a simple mental health routine that leaves you feeling grounded and less stressed so you can feel better about managing your career and motherhood, and actually have some more time for yourself without the guilt.

You’re exhausted from overthinking about everything at work and home, feeling pressure to do everything perfectly and putting everyone else’s feelings and needs before your own. You feel stuck.

I have good news for you, my friend.

You can be a present and calm mother and also be successful in your career, without stacking your schedule to the point of burnout.

You no longer have to say "yes" to everything out of fear of disappointing people. You've got enough on your plate.

You can learn to stop fixating on every scenario or interaction in your day and let go of the need to do everything "right" all the time.

You can actually have some boundaries around “work life” and “home life” that are reflective of what you value and protects your sanity.

About Me

Hey, I’m Justine! I am a licensed mental health counselor with over 10 years of clinical experience in treating anxiety disorders and I am also a mom of 2 young children.

I have a private practice based in New York and also host the mental health podcast, Thoughts from the Couch. I’ve been featured on the top charting Self-Helpless Podcast, Forbes, Cosmopolitan Magazine, The Huffington Post, News 12 and hired as a wellness speaker for employees of Lockheed Martin and Eileen Fisher.

As a working mom myself, I know how difficult it is to have a fire and passion for your career, but also desire to be present and available for your kids. It's not an easy task to balance. What is balance anyway?

As much as I would absolutely love to help everyone out there who is struggling with stress and anxiety in motherhood, there is only one of me. Since my private practice has had a waitlist for 1:1 sessions since 2020, I wanted to impact more women and create a tool that gives working moms instant access to the skills I have been teaching in my private practice with my therapy clients. “The Path to Peace” is not therapy, but it is a curated program that includes my favorite evidence-based methods for managing anxiety and overcoming perfectionism and can be used on its own or alongside a committed therapy practice.

This program can help you can go from...

Feeling so irritable and overwhelmed that you are yelling at your kids and spouse

TO...

 Having positive and secure relationships with your family members and feeling free from the shame of losing control of your emotions.


Doing everything for everyone all of the time

TO...

Choosing to do only what is in alignment with your values, priorities and own needs.


Feeling completely burnt out and stressed

TO...

Becoming more relaxed, chill and able to show up as the best version of yourself.


Having your worries rule your day

TO...

Letting go of thoughts and beliefs that no longer serve you.

INSIDE THE PROGRAM

Here's what's included.

You will participate in 8 small group live virtual sessions where I walk you through ways to practice mindfulness in your everyday life, reframe unhelpful thought patterns that lead to anxiety and stress, create a personal mental health routine and set boundaries with your relationships and time so you can have a little more time for yourself. I will also provide you with various resources and PDF’s that help you reinforce all that you are learning. There is time to ask questions and personalize all of the skills I teach you.

You will learn my five most effective evidence based strategies to help you manage feelings of worry, stress, panic and anxiety that have been tested and refined for years in my private therapy practice. You will learn all about the fight or flight response in our body and its role in our feelings of stress and the difference between healthy and unhealthy coping mechanisms for managing stress.

I will teach you easy to implement mindfulness techniques that are proven to reduce stress, lower blood pressure and ease racing thoughts that take 5 minutes a day. This includes some deep breathing strategies and a 12 minute guided relaxation I created that you can keep and practice on your own as needed.

You will learn cognitive behavioral therapy techniques that help you replace negative thoughts and beliefs with helpful thought patterns for both instant and long term anxiety relief. You will learn the subconscious path of thoughts, feelings and actions that causes stress and anxiety in us and ways to challenge unhelpful and self-critical thoughts. I also provide you with affirmations for the ambitious mom.

I will teach you strategies that help you choose whether or not you listen to your anxious thoughts and gain more control over how you react to your feelings of anxiety and stress so you can have better interactions with your kids and partner and be more present and focused at work.

I will guide you on a step by step process to create and implement a short, simple and highly personalized daily self-care practice that you can stick to and leads to massive long term results. I also provide you with ways you can even free up your time so you can actually implement these changes.

A process for auditing the two areas of your life that need boundaries, determining what you must implement to reclaim your time and energy, and how to say no with less feelings of guilt or fear. I also teach you the most common fears about boundary setting that you can actually let go of. You will have access to versatile scripts for setting clear boundaries with people that can be used to help you get your needs met.

The value

You’re getting access to a thoughtfully curated sample of the kind of methods my private clients receive in my 1:1 therapy practice.

You get access to tools backed by science to help you manage stress and anxiety all put together for you by a licensed mental health counselor and working mom herself, who knows the type of support ambitious moms need to feel good about themselves again.

This program is exactly what you need to...

Cut to the chase and see results (you want to know what to do, how to do it, and start reaping the benefits). This is not a program with a lot of theory or methodology to sift through or loads of random homework and exercises to try and squeeze in. You get the tools delivered to you in 8 live sessions and you put them to work.

  • You're an ambitious and overachieving working mom with a Type A Personality.

  • You’re the kind of person who likes to get straight to the point and get to work with making changes and setting goals for yourself.

  • You’re an independent, self-starter and you are all in with anything you try to accomplish.

  • You understand that feelings are an essential part of being human, but the way you are currently coping with stress and anxiety is not working for you.

  • You are in an emotional crisis. You will need to engage in therapy to treat your symptoms with a live licensed mental health professional. 

  • You are feeling suicidal or have passive suicidal thoughts. Stop reading this and dial 911 or go to your nearest emergency room. You can also call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 800-273-8255.

  • You are looking for online therapy. This is a step by step psychoeducational program that will teach you effective skills but you will not be able to process them as you would in psychotherapy.

FAQs

Do you offer implementation support?

You will have time in each session to ask questions about what I am teaching you.

Do you offer refunds?

I do not offer refunds. This is my intellectual property that took years to build, refine, and test for efficacy.

Is this a replacement for therapy?

No! This is not virtual therapy. This is not a substitute for seeking help from a licensed mental health professional. This is a psychoeducational support program that will provide you with coping mechanisms to help you manage anxiety on your own, at your own pace.
