The Alignment Pod

A Place to do the Relational Work

A small group of people committed to honestly showing up, courageous action, and helping each other find
their way out of the river of distress and back to the shore.

Online via Zoom – 6 - 10 participants – Weekly Sessions

What is a Pod?

A pod is not a therapy group. It is not a support group in the traditional sense. It is something closer to a team of fellow climbers, a small number of people who have agreed, for the duration of the climb, to help each other understand which way is up.

Connection is both the means and the end. The pod is where you practice what you came here to learn by actually doing it, with people who care enough to tell you the truth.

Inside the pod you will take on what this work calls relational projects: specific, deliberate actions to repair, improve, or realign the relationships that matter most. You will bring them here, work through them, and return with what happened. Over time, the evidence accumulates and what once felt impossible begins to feel like something you can handle.

The work underneath the work is alignment. Closing the gap between how you are actually living and how you are designed to live. The smaller that gap, the calmer your internal world becomes. Relational projects are how that gets practiced.

What Happens in a Pod?

Each session is an open forum. No rigid agenda, no prescribed topics. You bring what is alive for you: the conversation you have been avoiding, the boundary you haven't set, the truth you haven't spoken. The group witnesses it with you. Other people see your patterns when you cannot, and with your permission they reflect back what they observe. That feedback is honest and given in the context of genuine care and is not criticism. It is one of the most useful things one person can offer another. Over time, showing up here becomes practice for showing up everywhere else.

How it is Held

No advice is offered unless you have explicitly asked for it. No one fixes, prescribes, or judges. What is shared here stays here. The space is kept small, 6 to 10 people so that real contact is possible rather than performance. Ross facilitates each session, drawing on twenty years of group work and coaching. The pod meets virtually via Zoom, which means it is accessible regardless of where you are.

This Might Be For You If

You know what you need to do and keep not doing it. You have tried therapy, self-help, or willpower and the same patterns keep returning. You have a relationship that is quietly costing you something important and you are ready to stop waiting for the right moment. Or you simply want to be in a room with people who are doing honest work on themselves and who will give you the straight goods when you ask for it. If any of that is landing, it is probably worth a conversation.

The Role of Feedback

Most people who spend years in painful relational patterns never received honest feedback. Not because no one noticed, because no one cared enough, or felt safe enough, to say so.

The pod changes that. With your permission, members reflect back what they observe and where the gap is between what you intend to communicate and what actually lands. What the fear sounds like when it speaks in your voice. Where something old is running the show and presenting itself as wisdom.

This kind of feedback is specific, honest, given in the context of genuine care and is not criticism. It is one of the most relational things one person can offer another.

Nothing here is offered without invitation. You set the terms of your own engagement. But the more you let yourself be seen, the more useful the pod becomes.

Common Questions

Do I need to have read anything beforehand?

No. The framework that underpins this work will be introduced as you go. You bring yourself. That is enough to begin.

What if I am not a talker?

You are not required to perform or fill space. The pod meets you where you are. Some of the most significant growth in this kind of work happens in people who say very little and show up with everything they have.

What commitment is involved?

This is ongoing work, not a fixed-term program. The pod functions best when members show up consistently. That said, you are an adult, you decide what is right for you.

Is this therapy?

No. Ross is a life coach and group facilitator, not a therapist. The pod is a relational container for growth work. However, the impact of these groups can be transformative.
