Life design is hard. It’s harder in isolation.

That’s why we built Cocomadre, a network for women navigating major life shifts to gather, grow, and get going.

This isn’t just support; it’s structure, strategy, and skills.

Inside you’ll find:

  • Guided cohorts* to help you make progress on your next chapter

    *a group of people sharing a common goal who start and finish a program together.

  • Curated tools and courses rooted in our 3-Pillar Process™

  • Live events with expert discussions to build real skills and real confidence

  •  A supportive, purpose-driven community deliberately designing their lives

This is where you learn the skills, frameworks, and strategies you need to get unstuck and take ACTION.

Where you stop living by default, and start designing.

Courses. Community. Clarity.

Start where you are. We'll help you go.

A woman sits cross-legged on a deserted road in a mountainous landscape, wearing a mustard yellow sweater and denim shorts, with her back to the camera. Next to her, a purple rectangle container contains the text: "Life Appraisal™: Reflect on where you’ve been, where you are now, and how you got here."

We’ve lived this. We built Cocomadre for women who are living it now.

Cocomadre was born from real-life reinvention.

Colleen rebuilt after divorce. Tamara navigated a financial freefall.

Both had to reimagine their futures — and discovered how disorienting and isolating life transitions can be.

We realized many women reach midlife asking, “What’s next?” — after divorce, an empty nest, career shifts, financial resets, or simply outgrowing what was.

Cocomadre helps women meet that question with structure, strategy, skills, and community.

These turning points aren’t the end of your story — they’re the beginning of a new one.

With the right tools, your next chapter can be yours: by design, not by default.

Beverly & Rodney Hawes

The Comadre Fund is dedicated to helping women in transition build lives of purpose and possibility through education, skills acquisition, and strategic support.

Inspired by the values of Rodney and Beverly Hawes—entrepreneurs, philanthropists, and believers in people—we honor their legacy through action: that everyone matters, that education transforms lives, and that believing in someone can change everything.

Grounded in Cocomadre’s core commitments to educate, guide, and connect, The Comadre Fund provides targeted resources to help women take their next step.

This includes:

    •    Tuition and certification assistance

•    Bridge loans during crisis

    •    Emergency support to escape unsafe situations

    •    Scholarships to Cocomadre programs and courses

We invest in the person first—so they can invest in what’s next.

We can do this, and we’ll do it together

  • Events

    The best breakthroughs rarely happen alone.


    Something powerful happens when you step into a room—virtual or physical—where the only agenda is growth. Our gatherings aren’t about hype or hustle. They’re about presence. Whether it’s a workshop, retreat, or live meetup, we make space for what matters: asking better questions, having harder conversations, and moving toward your life with intention

  • Community

    The Mother of all Communities.

    Life design is hard. It’s harder in isolation.


    Inside Cocomadre, we don’t pretend to have it all figured out. What we do have is a circle of women willing to look honestly at their lives and show up for each other as they change. Not for applause, but for alignment. This is where courage gets traction

    Make It

  • Challenges

    Change doesn’t require an overhaul. Just a start.
    Our challenges are small by design—because real transformation often begins with one quiet shift, repeated. Here, you’ll find short sprints that invite you to test a new way of seeing, living, or responding. Think of it as gentle disruption.

  • Cocolibro

    Not your average book club.

    Each month, we deep dive into books that challenge where we are and stretch who we’re becoming. These are the voices that speak our language—authors who make us think, pause, question, and rise. In 30 days, you’ll move through layered ideas, bold truths, and conversations that stay with you—shared with other Comadres who get it.

    We don’t just read.
    We wrestle, reflect, and become.

  • Comadre Fund

    Because support shouldn’t be a luxury.


    The Comadre Fund exists to quietly close the gap for women ready to begin again. Scholarships, supplies, support. When you give, you’re not saving someone—you’re reminding her that she was never alone.
