Inside Systems Grove: What a 6-Week Systems Overhaul Actually Looks Like

You know you need better systems. You've known for a while now.

Maybe you're drowning in a sea of tabs, tools, and half-implemented "solutions" that were supposed to fix everything. Maybe you've bought the templates, signed up for the platforms, tried to force yourself into someone else's workflow, only to abandon it three weeks later when it stopped making sense.

And maybe you're looking at Systems Grove—my 6-week systems overhaul intensive—and wondering: what actually happens in those six weeks? What does $3,000 buy you?

Here's the truth: it doesn't buy you templates. It doesn't buy you a one-size-fits-all solution. It doesn't buy you a magic wand that fixes everything forever.

What it buys you is co-creation. Customization. And a hell of a lot of compassion for how your brain actually works.

Let me walk you through what happens inside Systems Grove, week by week.

Week 1: The Audit (Finding the Cracks)

We start with an audit. But this isn't the kind of audit where I come in with a clipboard and tell you everything you're doing wrong.

We're not looking for what's broken. We're looking for what's already working and where your energy is leaking.

I want to understand your current reality. What tools are you using? Which ones do you actually open? Which ones do you avoid? Where do things fall through the cracks? What decisions exhaust you? What tasks do you dread?

But more importantly: I want to understand you. How does your brain work? What are your natural rhythms? What gives you energy, and what drains it? Where do you get stuck, and where do you flow?

The patterns that emerge during this week tell me everything I need to know about what kind of systems will actually serve you. Because here's the thing: a system that works beautifully for a linear thinker might feel like a cage to someone with ADHD. A workflow that makes perfect sense on paper might completely ignore how you actually move through your day.

By the end of Week 1, you walk away with clarity. Not shame. Not a list of everything you're doing wrong. Just honest, compassionate clarity about where your current systems are supporting you—and where they're not.

Weeks 2-3: Building (Creating Systems That Fit Your Brain)

This is where we roll up our sleeves and build.

But we don't start with "here's the perfect Notion template" or "you should be using this tool." We start with your brain.

How do you think? How do you remember things? How do you make decisions? What does your energy look like on a Tuesday versus a Friday? What happens when life gets chaotic?

We co-create systems that fit the answers to those questions. Not systems that you have to fit into.

Maybe that means building a Notion dashboard that shows you only what you need to see today, not everything you could possibly do. Maybe it means creating decision trees for recurring choices so you don't have to re-think them every time. Maybe it means designing workflows that account for the fact that your brain needs novelty, or that you work better in bursts than in steady streams.

The key is this: we're building for how you actually work, not how you should work.

By the end of these two weeks, you have systems that feel like relief. Not homework. Not another thing you're supposed to be disciplined enough to stick to. Just... relief.

Weeks 4-5: Testing (Real Life Is the Litmus Test)

Here's what most people get wrong about systems: they think the work is done once the system is built.

But a system that looks beautiful in theory can completely fall apart when it meets real life.

So we test it. We use it. We see what breaks.

Maybe the workflow makes sense on paper but feels clunky in practice. Maybe the dashboard is too complex, or not complex enough. Maybe you thought you'd check it every morning, but in reality, you only remember to look at it on Wednesdays.

That's not failure. That's data.

We iterate. We troubleshoot. We adjust for your actual rhythms, not your idealized ones.

This is the phase where the magic happens, honestly. Because this is where we move from "this should work" to "this does work."

By the end of Week 5, you have systems that have survived contact with reality. And that makes all the difference.

Week 6: Sustainability (Making It Stick)

This is the part nobody talks about.

You can have the most perfect system in the world, but if you shame-spiral every time you fall off it, it's useless.

So we spend the final week on mindset and sustainability. Not in a woo-woo "manifest your success" way. In a practical, compassionate, "how do we make sure this doesn't become another thing you beat yourself up about" way.

We build maintenance rhythms—not rigid routines. We talk about what to do when life gets chaotic and the systems fall apart. We create permission structures so you can get back on track without the shame spiral.

Because here's the truth: you're human. You're going to fall off the wagon. The system is going to break sometimes. That's just a reality to plan for.

By the end of Week 6, you walk away with more than just systems. You walk away with permission to be human. And tools to get back on track when you inevitably need them.

What This Isn't

Let me be clear about what Systems Grove is not.

It's not a template dump. I'm not handing you a pre-built Notion workspace and wishing you luck. Every system we create is custom-built for your brain, your business, and your rhythms.

It's not a one-size-fits-all solution. What works for someone else might be a disaster for you. We're not interested in cookie-cutter consulting. We're interested in what actually works.

It's not "fix everything forever." Systems need maintenance. They evolve as your business evolves. This intensive gives you the foundation and the skills to tend your systems over time—not a magic wand that makes everything perfect permanently.

What it is: co-creation, customization, and a whole lot of compassion for how your brain actually works.

Is Systems Grove Right for You?

Systems Grove is a $3,000 investment over 6 weeks. Applications are open on a rolling basis, and I currently have openings.

This intensive is for you if:

  • You're tired of forcing yourself into systems that don't fit your brain

  • You're ready to invest in systems that actually work instead of collecting more templates

  • You want co-creative, personalized support (not a DIY course)

  • You're willing to be honest about how you actually work, not how you think you should work

This intensive is not for you if:

  • You're looking for a quick fix or a magic solution

  • You want someone to just tell you what to do without collaboration

  • You're not ready to let go of how you think your systems "should" look
