The Heroine's Adventure Live!

Because it’s never 

“too late” to plan your Extraordinary Life

Whether you’re an empty-nester pondering your next step, a professional itching to reinvent your career, or a soul craving deeper purpose, The Heroine’s Adventure offers you a proven, story-driven framework for radical midlife reinvention.

 

Can You Hear Your Call to Adventure?

Have you ever felt a subtle (or not-so-subtle) tug that your best days are still ahead?

There’s another act waiting to be written in your life story! 

 Based on timeless storytelling principles—and tailored for the unique challenges and opportunities of midlife—this immersive 7-stage journey will help you take back the pen and author a bold, inspiring new chapter in your life.


you can transform your life in only 6 weeks!


 

Any of these sound familiar?

Stagnation and "What's Next?"

Tired of going through the motions every day? Feel like you’re stuck on someone else’s track? Our course will show you how to channel restlessness into a meaningful call to adventure.

Self-Doubt & Age Barriers

Worried you’re “too old” to change careers, start a passion project, or learn new skills? The Heroine’s Adventure reframes midlife self-doubt into a powerful story arc—turning fear into fuel.

Societal “Shoulds” & Caregiving

Many women spend decades living by others’ expectations—raising children, supporting partners, caring for aging parents. If you’re ready to shine in your own right, we’ll guide you through a transformative journey that honors both your responsibilities and your personal calling.

Overwhelm & Lack of Clarity

Midlife can be a swirling storm of too many options—or seemingly none at all. Our step-by-step structure ensures you’re never alone in the woods. We’re with you, lighting the path at every turn.

 

 

 

It doesn't have to be this way!

The Heroine's Adventure is Different

Based on the Secrets of Story

Stories are hardwired into our brains. Using familiar story arcs—like the Hero’s Journey and the Virgin’s Promise—our method taps into the power of narrative, making goal-setting and life-planning exciting, intuitive, and deeply personal. 


 7 Transformational Chapters 

Each stage—from Recognizing Yourself as a Heroine to Returning With the Elixir—is designed to spark self-discovery, build resilience, and yield tangible next steps. You’ll learn to see challenges as catalysts, unlock your hidden resources, and emerge with lasting change.


Created for Midlife Reinvention 

Unlike generic personal-development courses, The Heroine’s Adventure meets you exactly where you are in life. We delve into everything from unexpected pivots (career, family) to navigating time and energy constraints in your 40s, 50s, and beyond.  


Community & Compassion 

Unlike Heros, Heroines never journey in isolation. Becoming a heroine is about forging alliances, finding mentors, and supporting others. Join our vibrant community of like-minded women on a similar quest for clarity and purpose.

 

 

"At the beginning of 2024, I embarked upon one of the most significant journeys of my life: the Heroine’s Adventure. This course gave me the tools and resources to plot, plan, and experience each one of my long-forgotten dreams. In six months, my life was transformed, and I am now back on a path that feels intuitively right for me, doing all the things that bring me excitement and joy!”
 

★★★★★

— Nicola Madill

"A revolution is a word that describes a drastic change in a short space of time, and that, for me, sums it up. In a nutshell, I feel like I am emerging. The past no longer feels like it shackles me, and the future looks colourful, exciting, and full of possibility. I feel proper emotional now writing this, but it’s truly down to feeling a huge amount of gratitude and appreciation for The Heroine’s Adventure.

Here's what you'll learn

Six Weeks to Cover Seven Chapters!

Week one

CHAPTER 1: RECOGNIZING YOURSELF AS THE HEROINE

Welcome to the official starting line of your Heroine’s Adventure! In this chapter, you’ll learn to see yourself as the main character of your own story. We’ll explore how real change begins by understanding where you’re starting from and what you’re truly capable of achieving. Below is a straightforward rundown of what’s inside this first stage and exactly what you’ll take away from it.

Introduction to Story Structure - Dive into the three-act journey and see how it parallels real life. Your “Ordinary World” is the baseline from which every change begins.

Comforts & Constraints - Identify what’s working well and what might be holding you back. Start a “Things That Need Fixing” list to keep track of areas you want to change

Claim the Lead – Embrace your role as the main character ready for transformation.

 

Week TWO

CHAPTER 1: Continued

Documenting Key Chapters of Your Life - Break your life into manageable “chapters,” each with significant stories. 

Identifying Limiting Beliefs & Wounds - See how certain memories or experiences have shaped untrue beliefs about yourself—and practice rewriting them.

Why You Need a Personal “Brand” - Just like companies have brands, you need a guiding identity for your life. 

Values & Role - Shift from defining yourself by roles (e.g., mother, entrepreneur) to defining yourself by your values. 

Create your Heroines Compass & Soul Motto - Craft statements that capture what you stand for, what you promise to yourself and others, and the key motto that sums up who you truly are.

 

Week THREE

CHAPTER 2: ENCOUNTERING A PIVOTAL SHIFT

Now that you’ve defined your Ordinary World and begun to see yourself as the main character of your story, it’s time to introduce the element that jolts everything forward: the Pivotal Shift. Think of it as the spark that lights the fuse—an event or challenge you didn’t see coming and can’t ignore. This chapter will help you understand how these twists appear in your life, why they’re vital, and—most importantly—how your power to choose determines what happens next.

High Stakes & Urgency - Why every good story (and life adventure) hinges on a change that can’t be brushed aside.

Become a Choice Agent – Learn techniques and gain tools designed to convert you into a conscious decision-maker. Become the author that shapes your story.

Step into Action – Transform life’s curveballs into catalysts for positive change

 

Week FOUR

CHAPTER 3: EMBARKING ON A JOURNEY

You’ve recognized yourself as the main character (Chapter 1) and witnessed how pivotal shifts can nudge (or shove) you into action (Chapter 2). Now, it’s time to embark on the journey itself. In this chapter, you’ll explore the mindset that carries you from the safety of your Ordinary World into the great unknown—and learn how to uncover your true motivations (the “Ultimate Whys”) so that each step you take is powered by genuine purpose rather than limiting beliefs or superficial wants.

Ultimate Whys - Learn to articulate the core reasons behind your biggest goals—so you pursue what’s truly important, not just what looks good on paper. 

Moving from Wants to Needs - Bridge the gap between external ambitions and internal fulfillment by aligning your goals with your deeper “why.”

 Identify Your Current “Projects” - Get clarity on the major areas where you invest significant time. 

Expose No Whys or Deceptive Whys: Uncover tasks or commitments that might lack genuine purpose—or are driven by a limiting belief.

Refining Your Whys: Transform vague or superficial motivations into emotionally resonant, clearly stated Ultimate Whys.

 

Week FIVE

CHAPTERS 4&5: TESTS, ALLIES, ENEMIES & FACING CHALLENGES

You’ve already learned how pivotal shifts happen, how to recognize yourself as the main character, and how to uncover your core motivations. Now, we focus on the dynamic roles played by the people and forces around us. In every journey, you’ll encounter allies, adversaries, and those who straddle the line between friend and foe. Understanding these archetypes—in stories and real life—will give you valuable tools for identifying helpful resources, overcoming challenges, and growing stronger through every test you face.

Now, it’s time to embrace the inevitable truth of every adventure: challenges lie ahead. Rather than avoiding or dreading them, you’ll discover how challenges drive genuine growth, reveal core themes in your life, and ultimately help you become who you’re meant to be. We’ll also delve into practical ways to prepare for these tests by managing your personal resources—your “Treasure Bag” of money, time, skills, energy, and passion.


Introduction to Archetypes - Learn the roles they play in the world and your life

Create your Heroine's Tribe - Or cast your characters. Identify the roles people play in your life and decide their function.

Archetypal Plans - Learn how to deal with the people who are throwing challenges or causing strife, by addressing their archetype  

Story Parallels - Explore how authors deliberately “test” their main characters to develop them fully—just as life “tests” us. 

Your Personal Definition of Success - Moving from the Ordinary World to a new reality means you can’t live in both worlds. Face the discomfort that leads to genuine discovery.

Your Treasure Bag - Identify your resources and build your treasure bag to carry with you on your journeys.

 

Week SIX

CHAPTERS 6&7: UNDERGOING A PERSONAL TRANSFORMATION & BRINGING HOME THE ELIXIRS

By reaching this stage, you’ve recognized yourself as the heroine encountered pivotal shifts, embarked on your journey, gathered allies, and faced real challenges. Now comes the phase of profound transformation—the inner shift that signifies real, lasting change. This moment in the Heroine’s Adventure parallels what’s often called “The Ordeal” or “The Belly of the Whale” in classic story structure, where the protagonist faces an old belief or aspect of their identity that must “die” so something new and more substantial can be reborn. This means shedding outdated mindsets, letting go of limiting beliefs, and emerging with greater self-awareness and resilience.

Journaling as Re-Storying - We’ve explored how writing transforms “thin” stories into “thick” ones, challenging negative beliefs. In this stage, your Journey Journal becomes central.

Applying the Heroine’s Adventure to Any New Journey - You already know the seven stages. Now it’s time to integrate them into a daily or weekly practice whenever you decide to create or refresh a transformation in your life:

Bringing home the elixirs - Share what you’ve learned and incorporate it into your ongoing life, ensuring each journey’s gifts aren’t lost.

Meet your GUIDE

Hi, I'm Dr. Lisa-Marie Cabrelli

I'm a novelist, creator, speaker, and retreat host, living my Extraordinary Life. 

We travel between Scotland, Italy, The Bahamas, and the US. 
I follow the sun with my table-dancing husband while penning romantic comedies and creating transformative courses for midlife women searching for a Heroine's Adventure. 

A digital nomad before it was cool (2006, eek!), I traveled the world while turning a $500 investment into a seven-figure eCommerce empire. 

I sold my business and "retired" at 45. After “retiring” I published 7 novels (traditional & indie), got a Master’s degree in crime writing, and earned a Ph.D. in Creative Writing at 52

 

 

 

But it wasn't always this way...

In my twenties, I followed the path society laid out for me. I got married, bought a house, had children, and worked a cushy corporate job until...


In my thirties, I crashed my car into an icy canal, nearly died, and realized I was miserable.


It took me decades to develop the Heroine's Adventure that gave me my Extraordinary Life. Luckily, teaching you this unprecedented life-planning technique will take only 6 weeks. Now you can discover and create your Extraordinary Life. And you won't even have to crash into a canal to do it!

This is for you...

Creatives in Hiding who want to reconnect with their artistry—writing that book, painting that series, or learning to play an instrument

Empty Nesters rediscovering who they are beyond parenting roles.

Aspiring Entrepreneurs itching to launch a business founded on passion and purpose.

Midlife Professionals looking to pivot or reinvent their career.

Midlife Women Ready to seize this stage of life as an adventure, not a winding down.

 

 

"Once I started with the lessons I was hooked. Lisa-Marie spoke so passionately, and I loved learning about the writing process and the narrative perspective using movies. It was such a fun way to learn. The journeys and transformations I intend to travel feel achievable now. Having faith in the process, having fellow heroines to journey with, and having two amazing role models in Nicola and Lisa-Marie has been key in making the journey possible and has been crucial in the transformation."

"Lisa Marie's course is truly original. It is sourced not from theory, but from her personal experience - creating the passion and enthusiasm that underlies her delivery and support of the information. What distinguishes her offering is that its explorations are applicable to creating life-changing outcomes for participants no matter their crossroads: from redirecting their careers or businesses to navigating personal change."
