Welcome to Red Couch Rebellion

Join our revolution against the status quo of disconnection –– to self and others.

You are not alone in your seeking.

Self-exploration is a journey – a long and ever unfolding one. In the “how” of it, you might be feeling overwhelmed by all the info, distracted by quick fixes, or burned out by trying to do and be it all.

We are gathering the wagons, building a large bonfire and calling in all vagabond seekers and rebels. We’re here for the long haul … to invite all perspectives and learn from each other … to go deeper in conversation, and remind you of the power of coming back to you. Together, we are building bonds that will hold us through years, decades and even complete phases of life –– with rebels from all walks of life: Different ages, races, religions, belief systems, sexual orientations or gender identities. 

Our Red Couch Rebellion community is an opportunity to explore your truth and share your voice. Within this space, we encourage your active participation in the unfolding of the community. We've intentionally kept the starting grounds simple so that we can co-create what we all are craving. 

Why join the Red Couch Rebellion?

The community we are building here is pretty special. There is no specific dogma for you to subscribe to, and we are gathering a delicious buffet of ideas for you and your fellow rebels to play with. Try them on ... see how they feel ... keep 'em or return 'em.  

What is right for you will resonate.

Why not use a group on Facebook or Instagram?

Research is revealing alarming and adverse effects of social media as it is used today.

Here we can:

• Slow Down / Be Present: Short form social media creates content in bite-size pieces, but we consume so many bites every day! We are trying to integrate decades of concepts into 10 minutes of scrolling. It's time to sink in to new perspectives, hear other's stories and see how it all fits within our own lives. 
• Be Real: This space is only for those looking for authenticity. No need for filters or editing to present oneself as perfect. 
• Access Course Content: On our network we can provide access to courses, groups, and 1:1 relationship building, all in the same space.
• Drop the Algorithms: One day we will have a platform that does away with "likes" and "views" all together. We cannot judge the value of one's lived experienced by these parameters and we need to begin healing our brains so they stop looking for them! We want to play with creating a culture of active engagement and hashtag use to ask for the support we are seeking. 
• Shift Gears: Our neural pathways are well worn with paths taken many times. By entering a new app, we are telling our brains we are about to participate in a different way. 

When You Join Today

When you join Red Couch Rebellion today, you’ll get access to:

Red Couch Rebels - Podcast+   

The stories we tell matter. 

This podcast+ community is a passion project of ours (Jenny & Erin). We have been having intimate conversations in our living rooms for years and it's time to bring these stories out into the public. It is a calling that pushed us far outside of our comfort zones and it continues to challenge us to grow each day in new ways. Yet, we felt the expansive power and deep support that these connected courageous conversations provided us personally–– and know countless others deserve the same safety and intimacy in relationship.  

YOUR story is your power. We want to inspire you to explore your story and share it with others. We each deserve to be seen, heard, and supported. We have so much to learn from one another!

• Did we miss an important point during a podcast discussion?  
• Do you have a guest you want to hear on the Red Couch Rebels podcast? Or a burning topic or question you'd like to learn more about in a Red Couch talk (monthly member only livestreams)? 
• Pissed about something you saw? Take a breath. Your emotion is telling you something important.  Reflect within and then share with us what you found!
• Need some support as you feel the expansion of a new realization?
• Connect with the podcast guests you fell in love with on the Red Couch Rebels podcast
• Explore YOUR inner rebel with us!

The Results You'll Get...

There are a lot of short-term programs all over the internet promising ANSWERS or AMAZING life-changing results. 

What makes us different? This is a no bullshit kind of space. We aren't promising you results. We aren't going to dig into your pain points and twist the knife THEN promise you we have all the answers.

We have high standards for all offerings on our network. It must be based in ME-search.

ME-search is short hand for experimenting with ideas and approaches in our own lives, then listening to how your body and heart respond. Healing and wholeness is not a one-size-fits-all. Don't just take our word for it (or anyone else's for that matter)! 

As you ME-search, practice courageous conversations, and explore the growing approaches offered, you'll create your own path (and adventures) to greater connection, health and well-being.  

Results obviously vary depending on where you are on your journey, how motivated you are to make the changes being put forward by YOUR inner rebel, and the pace at which your nervous system can handle that change.  

Results you COULD experience:

You could learn to hear the voice within. You could begin to trust that voice. You could feel so connected to your presence and purpose that you learn to deeply love yourself, just as you are – complete and whole. You could experience how this naturally brings out deeper compassion for others and you could draw in those who are capable of showing up in their authenticity to love you as you innately deserve. 

Disclosures

What we are not:

• We are not looking to burn down any cities!
• We are not a community of toxic positivity either  
  • Shadows are just as valid as light.  We each handle them in our own way.
• We do not advocate or allow violence 
  • We depend on all of our members to keep the space safe enough for all to be courageous. 

What we are:

We – the founders, are both cis-gender women, near the age of 40,  born, raised, and living in rural Wisconsin.  We do not claim to be experts on diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB), but we are always eager to learn from those willing to lead the way. 

Because we are aware of our limited perspectives, we are actively seeking community leaders with differing backgrounds to create safe spaces within our community. If you are interested, please connect at [email protected]!

Red Couch Launch Funding

All new businesses need start-up funds and we have some big dreams. If you are interested in supporting our mission of rebelling against the status quo of disconnection, there are a couple of ways you can support our new community.

Technically, yes, anyone with an iPhone could start a podcast. We hope by now you can see the Red Couch is far more than just a podcast!

1. Join as one of our first 100 founding members on the Red Couch Rebellion network and get a whole year's access for $100.  
2. If you believe in what we're doing AND want to give more, you can opt in to support our growth with a free choice contribution to our startup. 
3. If you feel your heart is calling you to be involved in guiding the direction of the Rebellion, you can apply for a seat on our advisory board.  We have a limited number of seats and DEI is of a high priority for us. (If you don't have the time to commit, but you want to fund our mission, consider sponsoring a seat or contributing in a different way.) To explore with us, email [email protected].
