Maybe I am Not Straight Course
Structured, Gentle Support to Explore
Your Truth on Your Terms
Price: $77
If you’ve ever whispered to yourself, “Maybe I’m not straight…” while still doing all the “right” things—marriage, kids, career, being the reliable one—this course was created with you in mind.
This course is a gentle roadmap that explores why this feels so intense, how comphet and conditioning play into the experience, and what it might look like to move forward with more clarity and self-kindness (no sudden life explosions required).
If you’re craving language, validation, and a soft place to land while you sort through your feelings and who you are, this is the course for you.

“I came into Maybe I Am Not Straight terrified that I was about to blow up a perfectly ‘good’ life for nothing. Anne-Marie walked me through why so many of us don’t question our sexuality until midlife, and suddenly my whole history made sense. The lessons, reflections, and stories helped me untangle compulsory heterosexuality, shame, and fear. I’m still figuring out the logistics of my life, but I no longer doubt my queerness—and that changes everything.”

“I came into The Catalyst Course absolutely gutted by the end of my first intense relationship with a woman. I felt foolish, ashamed, and like I should ‘be over it by now.’ Barb and Anne-Marie gave me something I didn’t know I needed: context. Understanding what a catalyst relationship is, why it felt so big, and why it was so hard to let go changed everything. The course was gentle but honest, equal parts education, grief support, and that steady voice saying, ‘You are not crazy and you are not alone.’ I left feeling less haunted and more hopeful about love.”
The Catalyst Chapter Course
For WLW Navigating Love’s First Chapter & Beyond
Price: $77
Your first queer relationship can feel like a spark that changes everything — opening your heart, shifting your identity, and showing you what love can truly feel like. This course is a guided conversation to empower you as you navigate the emotional roller coaster of your first lesbian or WLW relationship.
This course acknowledges the pressures unique to catalyst relationships, explores why this type of relationship is so intense, reflects on the depth of loss when it ends, the complexity of grieving while coming out, and techniques for making sense and meaning of your experiences.

“Before The Catalyst Course, I was stuck in a loop—checking her social media, second-guessing every decision, and wondering what was wrong with me that I couldn’t ‘get over’ a relationship that barely lasted a year. This course helped me see that what happened was part of my coming-out story, not proof that I’m too much or too late. The reflections, videos, and the way Barbara and Anne-Marie talks about grief and queerness helped me soften toward myself and my ex. I’m not dragging this chapter around anymore. I’m learning from it and moving forward.”

“Being a part of one of Anne-Marie’s support groups has helped me feel more comfortable talking about my sexuality, is helping me to move forward in my life after my divorce and is helping me to do the work as I become the best version of myself. Anne-Marie is a comforting and supportive facilitator who wants everyone in the group to feel heard and validated. I highly recommend signing up and committing to this. It will help you more than you could expect!”

“It was a really amazing experience. I not only got to know 6 other very special women, I also got to know myself much, much better. Highly recommended even for the most retiring or timid souls out there. Anne-Marie does an outstanding job as moderator.”
