The No Longer Last Journey™ Coaching Program
What would your life be like if you had someone in your corner helping you prioritize your health, happiness, and well-being?
Your health, happiness, and well-being impact every area of your life — your relationships, your motherhood, your work, and your self-worth.
In The No Longer Last Journey, my trauma-informed self-care program, I help you overcome the mom guilt, overwhelm, and other obstacles you’re up against so that you can improve your self-worth, self-care, and self-advocacy skills!
Ready to go on your No Longer Last Journey?
For women, and especially for mothers, we spend most of our time and energy helping take care of other people, but who’s taking care of you?
Who’s making sure you’re getting rest?
Who’s checking on your mental health?
Who’s encouraging you to set boundaries?
Who’s supporting you in ditching the way things have always been so you can live life on your own terms?
Someone’s gotta be helping take care of you too because your health, happiness, and well-being matter.
Hi, I’m Mia Hemstad!
I’m a wife, mom of two, and an abuse survivor. I also live with diagnosed PTSD and depression.
I know what it’s like to feel deeply unworthy of love and care, and to be so burned out, exhausted, and forgotten that you don’t want to live anymore.
I think it’s an injustice that women, and especially mothers, are expected to completely neglect ourselves as a requirement of being a “good woman” and a “good mom.”
Living by the “good girl” rulebook almost killed me. I was taking care of everyone else while I was suffering from chronic, debilitating migraines, extreme fatigue, depression, and anxiety, and after years of struggle, I was ready to leave this world.
Things came to a head when I almost passed out in a Trader Joe’s grocery store when I was with my kids.
I decided I had enough and needed to change things and stop being a martyr mom if I wanted to get better.
That began my journey of learning how to stop being last all the time and actually make my health, happiness, and well-being a priority.
4 years later — dozens of lives changed.
Now, for 4 years, I’ve been teaching other women all I’ve learned about healing from trauma, practicing authentic & nourishing self-care, and empowering them to set boundaries that help them prioritize their health, happiness, and well-being.
You don’t have to be last to be loving.
You deserve to be a priority in your own life.
You deserve to choose you and not feel an ounce of guilt about it.
When you take care of yourself first, it creates a positive ripple effect that benefits every area of your life!
If you desire to prioritize your health, happiness, and well-being so that you can fully live your life — no more burnout, no more resentment, no more self-loathing — I invite you to start your own No Longer Last Journey.

Take a look at what you get!
WHAT YOU GET (1 OF 4)
Get Lifetime Access to 12 Classes in Video and Podcast formats
Each class helps you learn the mindset shifts, tools, and strategies you need to overcome your obstacles and create self-care practices that help you live a No Longer Last life!
CLASSES 1-5
Phase 1: Build the Foundation
In months 1-5, you will practice the inner work needed to help you release guilt and shame, become a boundary-setting queen, and learn how to break unhelpful patterns and build new ones.
CLASSES 6-10
Phase 2: Fulfill Your Needs
In months 6-10, you will learn how to fulfill your needs and make them non-negotiable self-care practices in your life.
CLASSES 11-12
Phase 3: Honor Your Desires
In months 11 and 12, you will practice self-discovery, face your money trauma, and learn how to honor your desires without guilt or shame.
WHAT YOU GET (2 OF 4)
Get 12 beautiful reflection guides that go with each class.
These reflection guides help you…
-
Apply What You Learn
When we take the time to write things down, we’re much more likely to stick with our plans and intentions and to remember what we learn. The reflection guides are short, and the writing prompts are thoughtful and impactful.
-
Cultivate Self-Awareness
Self-awareness is the first step to changing anything in our lives. By taking 15-30 minutes to reflect with the guides that come with each class, you will get to know yourself better — what you need, what your obstacles are, and what happened to you that makes it so hard for you to take care of yourself.
-
Question the Stories You Tell Yourself
As humans, we create meaning and we also inherit it from school, religion, society, family, friends, and trauma. This is how we inherited the negative story that a good woman should put herself last.
In the reflection guides, I prompt you to question all of these stories you have inside your mind that are influencing all of your choices. Once you become aware, you get to decide to create new stories that help you instead of oppress you.
WHAT YOU GET (3 OF 4)
12 Live Coaching & Community Calls
Come with your challenges, your wins, and get coaching and support in a safe, judgement-free space. You’ll leave feeling grounded, supported, and knowing that you’re not alone!
-
Approachable Coaching
Feeling stuck, overwhelmed, and burdened sucks, and it keeps you from taking care of yourself. Having a coach to talk to on a regular basis helps you be able to work through obstacles more quickly and keeps you from feeling alone in your struggles.
-
Authentic Connection
Dr. Brené Brown says, “Shame dies when we can speak our truth in safe spaces." I have witnessed this again and again in our live Coaching & Community Calls. Whether members are realizing that they’re not alone in their struggles or sharing kindness and solidarity, the healing that can come from a safe space to share your true self is invaluable.
-
Sacred Pause
All of us can relate to the experience of wondering how time is moving so fast. The constant hustle of life keeps us from being able to check in with ourselves, rest, and know if we would like to make changes in our lives. Having a pause built into your life once a month to breathe, journal, and share is a practice that can help you approach your life with more intention.
Coaching Call Logistics
When: 2nd Sunday of the month at 11am PST / 2pm EST
Where: Zoom (not recorded)
How Long: The calls are 2 hours long, with a 10-minute break in between the first and second hours.
Live Connection: People are on live and can speak, see each other, and connect. We really get to know each other on these calls and build friendships.
NOT Recorded: Calls are NOT recorded to protect the privacy of members and to keep the calls a safe space.
Call Structure
1st Hour:
Calming: I start the call with a guided meditation and breathing exercise.
Sharing: We do a mental health check-in where everyone shares how they’re doing in two words (or more). This is where people share their progress and challenges and receive validation, support, and coaching from me.
~ 10 minute break ~
2nd Hour:
Reflecting: We journal together with prompts I’ve prepared to help you write your self-care and boundary-setting intentions for the month. Relaxing music is played in the background to set a calming mood.
Coaching: This is when people typically share something that came up for them during their journaling session and ask for coaching / advice to prepare for the month ahead.

You’re in luck because I (Mia) am a busy working mom of two small kids. I understand that many of us are busy and living with low energy/capacity. This program is designed with real life in mind. That’s why the content is spread out over 12 months, and if you don’t finish all the content within that time frame (because life happens), you will have LIFETIME access to the program’s classes and reflection guides.
-
Yes, this program would still be a great fit for you! About half the members in the program are not moms. The testimonials you can read on this page are from happy clients — both moms and women without children. The work of learning to love and care for ourselves without guilt or shame is what I teach here. If that’s something you need, then The No Longer Last Journey can help you.
-
The time commitment is about 2 hours per month of classes and reflection work, and 2 hours of the live Coaching & Community Call each month.
It might seem like a lot at first, especially if you’re not used to taking time for yourself, but it will get easier over time, and it’s part of the journey of learning how to make space for YOU!
You can also listen to your classes with the private podcast you’ll have access to!
If you can't attend the live calls, there are people who don’t attend the live calls and say they get a lot out of the classes, and there are people who attend the live calls but don’t watch the classes, and they say they get a lot out of the program too. :)
You don’t need to do everything to have a life-changing experience from this program.
-
That’s okay! About half of the members don’t make all the live calls but say they get a lot out of the program, particularly through the classes.
I do NOT record the live calls because oftentimes people share their trauma or really difficult things they’re going through, and I want to be respectful of that and make The No Longer Last Journey a really safe space.
-
Yes! Members have access to a private podcast channel where all the classes are available in audio format that you can listen to via your favorite podcast app.

12 Classes & Reflection Guides
The program is spread out over 12 months. Each month has a specific class recommended for you to watch or listen to, and a companion reflection guide to help you apply what you learn to your life.
You do not need to go through all the content in 12 months. You will get LIFETIME access to the classes and reflection guides (yay for no pressure personal growth!).
12 Coaching & Community Calls
I offer one live Coaching & Community Call on the 2nd Sunday of each month. It’s structured so that the first hour is the guided breathwork and mental health check-in where everyone shares how they’re doing (if they choose), and I hold space and validate what you’re going through.
After taking a 10-minute break in between the hours, the second hour is spent reflecting on: 1) how your self-care is going, 2) what obstacles are in the way, and 3) what boundaries you might need to free up more space for you. After reflecting, people can share what came up for them if they want, and then I do 30 minutes of live coaching for whoever asks for that kind of direct support.
If you can’t make every call, please don’t worry! Most members don’t make all the calls (and some don’t attend any), and they still get a lot out of the program!
I email you the journal prompts every month so if you can’t attend live, you can reflect on your own time.
Please note that you don’t have to do everything to make the most of The No Longer Last Journey! It’s a do-what-works-for-you-and-honor-your-own-pace type of program! :)
Weekly Accountability
3 times per week, I post in the private community to:
Remind you to set your self-care intentions for the week ahead
Encourage you to keep going
Remind you to seek support and reflect on your progress.
Private Community
The best part about the private community (that’s not on Facebook) is that you can reach out and ask a question or share your journey whenever it’s convenient for you.
-
There is a live Coaching & Community Call every month except for December.
The No Longer Last Journey™ Coaching Program includes 12 live Coaching & Community Calls via Zoom that you must use within 13 months of your purchase date.

My coaching, classes, and reflection guides are trauma-informed, meaning that they are designed to help you look deeper so that you can understand why you struggle to love and care for yourself because of what happened to you.
I am not a trauma-therapist, and I do not claim to heal you of your trauma.
A lot of my clients have said that my classes and coaching help them realize that they experienced trauma, and they then seek out professional help from a trauma therapist.
I love productivity tips and life hacks, but I know that those alone will not help you love and care for yourself when the real reasons why you struggle are due to what you have / are experiencing.
Our traumatic experiences mold our minds and dictate what we feel we deserve, and unless we make that connection, we aren’t able to allow ourselves to be treated with the love and care we deserve.
My work with you is to help you become more aware of what has / is happening to you and to help you make those connections.
I am also oppression-aware, meaning that I understand that racism, misogyny, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, and systemic issues are big obstacles in our journey of healing, self-love, and self-care.
I don’t believe that everything that’s hard in your life is your “personal responsibility” or “personal choice” because I know that nobody chooses or is responsible for other people’s bigotry, racism, homophobia, discrimination, gender discrimination, poor healthcare, etc.
My approach to coaching is to start with reality because the fact is that moms are already trying hard enough. We’re doing too much. And I believe a lot of this work we’ll do together is about letting go of what we were taught we should do, and instead strive to advocate for ourselves in spite of the obstacles that are present in our lives.

You deserve a life where your health, happiness, and well-being are a priority, not an afterthought.
If you’re tired of feeling burned out, neglected, and unworthy, you’re not alone. As a woman, and especially as a mother, being last is not uncommon, and it’s not your fault.
Women are historically and systemically undervalued, underpaid, and overworked (hello, patriarchy and misogyny). The stats are even worse for BIPOC women (hello, racism). Since birth, we were handed the guidebook for how to be a “good girl,” and the rules are exhausting us.
In The No Longer Last Journey, I teach you how to opt-out of these toxic rules and expectations, I help you overcome obstacles to authentic self-care, and I show you how to honor your wants and needs so that you can live a life where your health, happiness, and well-being are finally a priority instead of an afterthought.
I can tell you from my personal experience and from my clients’ testimonials that going on this journey will have a positive ripple effect on every area of your life.
Let’s get started!
Martyr Mom ≠ Better Mom
When you go on your own No Longer Last Journey, you are breaking generational cycles of misogyny and sexism that taught us that moms should always come last.
When you practice self-care and self-love, you model to your kids that it’s good and safe for mothers to express their wants and needs and to honor them.
This is not selfish. This is healing work that has a positive ripple effect on every area of your life and on the lives of those you come in contact with.
