The School of Courage™ Framework
The Conscious Living Equation™
A conscious leadership and self-leadership framework created by Liz Jolley to help women think clearly, stay grounded, and lead with calm confidence — in their careers, relationships, and family life.
The Equation
How the Conscious Living Equation™ Works
At the heart of the Conscious Living Equation™ is a simple but powerful truth: your experience of life is not created by your circumstances — it’s created by how you interpret and respond to them.
Circumstances → Thoughts → Feelings → Actions → Results
This sequence explains why two women can live in similar situations yet experience completely different levels of stress, confidence, presence, and fulfillment.
The Conscious Living Equation™ teaches you how to slow this process down and work with it intentionally — rather than reacting automatically from old patterns, emotional habits, or internal pressure.
When you learn to identify the thoughts driving your emotional state, you gain the ability to choose responses that align with who you want to be — as a leader, a mother, a partner, and a woman.
This is where awareness becomes choice — and choice becomes calm, confident leadership in real life.
The Core Framework
The Conscious Living Equation™
NOTICE → NAME → NEUTRALIZE → CHOOSE → PRACTICE
This equation describes how conscious change actually happens. You learn to notice unconscious patterns, name the thoughts driving your emotional experience, neutralize outdated mental scripts, choose intentional responses, and practice emotional adulthood — consistently, not perfectly.
Rather than reacting on autopilot, this process gives you a repeatable way to slow down internally — even when life is fast — so you can respond with clarity instead of control, and self-trust instead of self-judgment.
Over time, this becomes second nature. You don’t just manage overwhelm — you change your relationship with it.
Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this traditional mindset coaching?
No. The Conscious Living Equation™ goes beyond mindset work alone. It integrates self-leadership, emotional awareness, and embodied decision-making to create lasting, real-world change — not just temporary insight.
Who is this framework for?
This framework is designed for women who want clarity without pressure, calm without disengagement, and confidence without becoming hardened. It’s for leaders, mothers, and professionals who want to live and lead with intention instead of reactivity.
Do I need any prior coaching or personal growth experience?
Not at all. The Conscious Living Equation™ meets you exactly where you are. You don’t need special knowledge, tools, or training — just a willingness to become more aware and more intentional in how you lead your life.
How the Framework Works
The 3 Phases of Conscious Living
Phase One
Reveal
Learn to recognize the unconscious thoughts, emotional patterns, and reactive behaviors that quietly run on autopilot — especially when you’re under pressure or overwhelmed.
Awareness is the foundation of change.
Phase Two
Reclaim
Build emotional steadiness and inner stability so you can pause, self-regulate, and respond with calm clarity instead of reacting from old patterns.
This is where self-trust and presence are rebuilt.
Phase Three
Redesign
Make intentional decisions and take aligned action to design a life that reflects your values, energy, and season — at work, at home, and within yourself.
Conscious living becomes how you move forward.
Practice With Support
This is meant to be practiced — not done alone.
Inside The School of Courage™ Membership, you don’t just learn the Conscious Living Equation™ — you live it. Through weekly coaching, guided reflection, and a grounded community of women, this framework becomes how you lead, decide, and show up in real life.
