How One Group Program Changed My Entire Life

How One Group Program Changed My Entire Life

Author: Polly Lavarello January 16, 2026 Duration: 29:50

Group programs have changed my life, and I’m not saying that for drama.

In this episode, I’m sharing the personal, real story of how running my first group program shifted everything for me, financially, emotionally, and practically, as a single parent trying to rebuild from the ground up.

I also talk about why your story matters more than ever in 2026, especially with AI making online content feel a bit… samey.

If you’ve been thinking about launching a group offer, or you’ve been hiding behind “I’ll do it when I’m ready”, this is your nudge to lead with heart, back yourself, and build something that supports your wellbeing too.

Highlights:

(02:10) The Brighton mastermind day, and what ambitious women in a room can unlock

(03:55) AI is changing social media, and why your lived story is the only real advantage

(07:35) Why I chose group programs, and the question most people forget to answer: why you?

(12:30) Burnout meets Covid, launching anyway, and why I do not recommend my method

(15:55) Ten people, a first 10k month, and the moment I realised life could change fast

(28:05) The free workshop, the Telegram group, and what’s coming next on the podcast
