StoryFORMULA: Relationships

Struggling in your relationships — even though you care and you’re trying?

StoryFORMULA: Relationships is a live, guided program led by Dr. Julie Helmrich that helps people understand what keeps going wrong — and begin changing it.

StoryFORMULA is closed for now. Add your name to the waitlist, and if enough people join, we’ll run it again.

Most people don’t struggle in their relationships because they don’t care.

They struggle because the same moments keep pulling the same reactions — even when they know better and want something different.

What this program actually focuses on

most advice

Most relationship advice focuses on what to say or do differently.

StoryFORMULA

StoryFORMULA focuses on something deeper: We work with the internal story shaping how you react in the moments that matter most.

That story determines what feels true, possible, or threatening in real time —
and it’s why the same situations keep producing the same reactions,
even when you care deeply and want something different.

When the story shifts,
new responses become available — naturally.

StoryFORMULA

In StoryFORMULA, our signature nine-month program, Dr. Helmrich teaches live online, guiding personal transformation within a fabulous community.

If you're not living the life you'd thought you'd be living by now, you might have to improve one or more of these three areas and “get above the line” with respect to your health, quality relationships, and your career.

Story Formulators use our “MORE Map” framework to sequentially shift their internal narratives and make significant progress in all of those areas. We are going for enduring change because we are not in the business of quick fixes. If that sounds good to you, click below to join us:
