EXIT PLAN: Your Personal Strategy for Toxic Gatherings
You already know how this goes. You tell yourself this time will be different. You show up hopeful. And then the drama begins. Uncle Jim gives you "that" look, and you want to hide. Or your crazy coworker brings their attitude into the office party and targets you. One of your siblings goes rogue at your wedding, drawing all the attention and stirring old resentments. Old dynamics kick in, and suddenly, your peace is gone.
It doesn't have to keep happening that way. Exit Plan walks you through a simple, personalized planning process so you can walk into any gathering with your eyes open — and walk out with your dignity intact.
Your Exit Plan is coming soon. Get on the list.
Ditch the drama!

Walk Away in Safety and Peace
An exit plan isn't weakness. It's wisdom. Whether you need safety or simply want to ditch the drama, it works.
Why?
Why I wrote this workbook
During the years I worked in a 12-step recovery ministry, I found that it was often the unplanned, unexpected, and unwelcome events that sent people into a relapse spiral. I learned about "relapse prevention plans" and created a little handout to help my friends navigate the holidays without giving up their sobriety over dysfunctional family dynamics. In fact, that little handout is still offered for free on my website.
That handout grew and changed to include all kinds of gatherings, not just the ones I had in mind originally. It became this workbook: your Exit Plan. You might prefer to do things on your own, but trust me -- this book will serve you best if you work through it with a trusted friend. Brainstorm together and decide what will work for you, and then . . . do it.
Your future self will thank you. As do I.
Hi, I'm Francey!
Master Christian Life coach
I’m a Christian Lifeskills Coach with an education in pastoral ministry and Human Services. I’ve had the privilege of spending the past 20+ years walking alongside people as they change their lives through counseling, recovery, and the application of Biblical principles to their problems.
Many of those years were spent in the addiction recovery community. I loved every minute. And they - you - are still very much in my life and on my mind as I do what I do.
I’ve shared one-on-one time, 12-step meeting time, and casual-over-coffee time with women who want to step into the “very next thing” that God has for them, whether that’s moving into leadership, fulfilling a long-abandoned dream, or facing the traumatic events of their past.
