A year-long, small-cohort experience for values-driven leaders—done strong-arming their lives, ready to live with steadiness and joy.

You've held a lot. 

You've accomplished a lot. 

You've helped a lot of people. 

And...your own well-being has been last in line for a long time. 

Stop F'ing Around: Heal. Focus. Rise. is where powerful women—and the occasional brave man—stop muscling through their lives and start living with clarity, steadiness, and a deep, embodied sense of self-respect.

This is embodied change—slow enough to stick, strong enough to matter. Held with love, structure, accountability, and reverence.

Next cohort begins on the Summer Solstice:  June 21, 2026.
Enrollment deadline:  June 15, 2026.

If any of this is true… you’re in the right place.

You’re a woman (35–65ish) who leads—in mental health care, organics and better-for-you, education, nonprofits, social justice work, or other high-stakes environments. And you believe in a better world. 

And lately, you’re noticing that:

• You’re functioning… but you want to thrive. 
• Your nervous system is tired.
• You’re brilliant with other people—and harder on yourself than you’d ever be with a client, student, or staff member.
• You keep saying you’ll slow down / be more balanced / make the change… after this next busy thing.
• You crave a community that is smart, loving, real, and with you.
• You want to feel grounded in your body.
• You want to lead with less reactivity and more power.
• You want joy and aliveness—without burning your life down to get it.

 This is the moment you stop waiting for "someday." 

About Anne O’Connor

I’m Anne O’Connor, MSW, LICSW, and I founded Metamorphix in 2011. For fifteen years, I’ve designed and facilitated rigorous, relational group experiences alongside my leadership roles and clinical training.

Before becoming a therapist, I served as Director of Public Affairs at Organic Valley, a billion-dollar cooperative, where I worked closely with leadership. I was also on the management team at MOSA, one of the largest organic certifiers in the country, and later served as Development Director at a private Waldorf school. I know what it means to carry responsibility inside mission-driven organizations.

I’ve lived inside high-stakes, values-forward leadership. I understand the pressure, the loneliness, and the sneaky self-abandonment that can creep in when you are capable and carry a lot.

Over time, I chose to deepen my work. I returned to school, became a licensed clinical social worker, and continued coaching leaders. My facilitation integrates real-world leadership experience with clinical insight, nervous system work, and embodied practice. We don't just explore change. We practice.

I also celebrated forty years of sobriety this year. That daily commitment to responsibility, repair, humility, and growth undergirds everything I teach. I believe deeply in human fallibility and in our capacity to change.

Stop F’ing Around is not therapy. It is not a quick fix. It is not leadership and growth for its own sake. We're here to change the world. Starting with yours. 

Stop F'ing Around is a high-trust, year-long leadership cohort for women who are ready to stop diluting their impact, strengthen their boundaries, and lead with clarity and courage in a complex world.

You bring the commitment, the courage, and the willingness to practice. I bring the structure, the experience, and the steady container. Together, that’s how real change happens.

Together, we face what’s real.
Together, we lead to make a difference.
