MäksēLife
For women who give a lot

Nobody asked what you wanted.So you stopped asking too.

You had a life to hold together and people who needed you, so the question went quiet. Not gone, just quiet. And now there's something under the good life you've built, that you'd never say or ask for out loud, because doing so feels ungrateful, scary, or both.

ClubMäksē is where it's safe to explore what's missing. It's a different conversation, one you've never had with yourself, with women who are having it too.

 

Press play. This is what Club actually is.

Who we are

We've spent twenty years learning the shape of what you can't name.

It came from sitting across from thousands of women who had done everything right and still felt off, and hearing the same ache underneath every one of them. It was never a matter of trying harder or doing more. What we found was that nobody had asked them about their own lives like the answers mattered.

So we built the place that starts with you. Where the questions go first and the plan comes after. Where you're around women who are in it too, and it's fine if you show up tired, unsure, or halfway through a hard season. Most of us did.

What you get

Your monthly workbook

Join Club to get full access.

"Where am I still holding myself to rules I didn't write?"

Every month, one focus area to help guide your growth and a printed workbook built around it. Questions you can't answer on autopilot, in an order that takes you somewhere. Most women tell us they had to put it down and come back. That's the point. It's built to be felt, not finished.

Live training + coaching

A live training each month to open the theme, and live Q&A with certified coaches for whatever it brings up. Come live or watch when you can. Nobody's tracking attendance. Replay's are available in-app, and a private podcast replay is available for Quarterly members.

The women

A private community, off social media, where nobody outside can see a thing. Weekly goal-setting and reflection calls, social mixers, and Camp Mäksē every summer to remind us we're allowed to have fun. It's the kind of honesty most of us don't get in real life anymore, with women in every decade who talk to each other like people who've been through it.

Your free planner (quarterly plan)

An A5 undated quarterly goal-setting planner, shipped to you, your choice of cover. It's the place the workbook's questions turn into your actual weeks. Undated, so it starts when you do.

Four years of past themes (quarterly plan)

The Learning Library, back to 2022. Boundaries, money, communication, rest. Skip to the one your life is asking for right now. Plus the Clubbies-only podcast feed for the days you'd rather listen than watch.

Your coaches

Facilitated by Sierra Friend Founder and Certified Life Coach and a team of certified life coaches who've each done this work on themselves first.

Clubbie perks

First look at new MakseLife products, member discounts, and the occasional guest session with someone worth hearing from: therapists, somatic practitioners, meditation teachers, authors on the topic we're in that month.

Two Ways to Join

Monthly or Quarterly

Most Clubbies choose to join us quarterly. It's the better deal, and it's the only plan that comes with the Learning Library, the podcast feed, and your free planner.

From the community

Clubbies, in their own words

Real Clubbies, in their own words, first names and last initials only. The Learning Library Irma mentions comes with the quarterly plan.

"Even when I feel like things are falling apart in some ways, it helps to join in and refocus on the positives and what's working [...]"

Lisa W., Clubbie

"Hi! I've learned how to speak about myself and my needs much more clearly."

Emma G., Clubbie

"I just wanted to say how loved I have felt in this group already. [...] From the coaches responding and giving resources to the other clubbies welcoming me, thank you so much. I feel like I've found my planner peeps."

Carolyn R.

"Its easy and calming and so rich. Never met a group of ppl so genuinely supportive and interested in what we share."

Jayshree N.

"Love having access to previous month themes as I'm working at my own pace."

Irma L., on the Learning Library (quarterly plan)

"Such amazing questions that are pushing me to think about who I really am and what I really want. I have had to pause to collect myself a few times already."

Nilam K.

"I've been part of ClubMakse since the very beginning, when it started in 2021 (minus 1 Quarter due to life circumstances). I can genuinely say that being part of ClubMakse has shifted the way I view goals, progress and celebration of the small wins.

Read more

I've gotten glimpses of my future self and the woman I aspire to become, I've been reminded that in difficult seasons it's ok to not keep up with goals or to let certain goals go and just celebrate the small wins. I haven't participated in every single thing they've offered but been able to choose the parts that fit my life and capacity at each stage. Thru out the 5 years, I've been a single mom, an engaged mom, a single again mom and been able to participate as my life allowed. One of my favorite things is learning from founder and life coach, Sierra and from Tracy, a licensed therapist. In addition to that is the fun and connection with TeamMakse and other Clubbies."

Kristen B., Clubbie since 2021

"Best.Club.Ever! ClubMäksē is such a welcoming space with a community of genuinely kind, wonderful people. The whole team is so supportive and the resources and materials are top-tier. I love the steady rhythm of the offerings without the pressure to keep up with anything."

"I first joined ClubMäksē a couple of years ago after using the MäksēLife planner for a while before that. I like the way the MäksēLife system breaks down life into areas. It helps me break things down, get a better "big picture" view of my life, and determine my goals and where I want to grow.

Read more

After deciding to join ClubMäksē, I'm not sure I could give it up. I've had a lot of struggles over the last year, including the loss of my job and a long job search I never expected. ClubMäksē has been there for me, in the form of both life guidance and structure as well as community, in no small way. I'm really grateful for the support and encouragement that I've found there when it's been hard to find it elsewhere at times. I highly recommend ClubMäksē, both for the coaching and community. It's not something I will be looking to give up any time soon."

"Clubmakse's trainings and workbooks and their approach to using learning, recreation, and personal growth has helped me immensely. I launched my business and fun websites, and got my "mini garden" all planted on my balcony. I started, and maintain, home cleaning and organizational habits. The community, from the leaders to its fellow members, are all welcoming and supportive. Clubmakse has genuinely made achieving goals possible."

"Some of the most profound breakthroughs I've had in my growth journey came through the monthly playbooks and activities we do in Club. Everyone is so supportive!! Club Mäksē is exactly the kind of structure and connection I looked everywhere for, and I'm so glad I found it."

"Club Mäksē has given me a place to come back to myself after a year of major life and health changes. I joined hoping for more happiness, community, and supportive routines. Through the Life Map, Weekly Actions and Reflections, Camp Mäksē, and the encouragement of this community, I'm learning to turn those hopes into small, doable steps.

Read more

One of my biggest ah-ha moments was realizing that my Weekly Actions are where I can choose my daily top one to three priorities. I no longer have to carry every goal in my head or do everything at once. I can reflect, choose one action, and begin again the next week. I'm building trust with myself—one weekly action at a time. Club has helped me approach goal setting with more grace, awareness, and support, and I'm grateful to be part of it."

"I joined Clubmakse 5 years ago looking for community as a new mom in the pandemic. The community is still my favorite part. And the work we do in Club has helped me grow in ways I never would have imagined. It is the best investment I have ever made in myself."

Toni N.

"During my time on FMLA, Club Makse has given me something to focus on besides my daily health struggles. It has given me subject matter to focus on while I'm recovering.

Read more

This exercise for my mind has provided me with the platform to obtain clarity, which is so easy to ignore during day-to-day life, especially when focused on taking care of others. I am grateful for everything Club Makse has taught us as well for the encouraging community they have built for us. I look forward to participating in Club Makse in the future."

Jennifer N.

"I have been in club Makse for a year now and have totally loved it! I signed up when I decided to leave my hometown for another city and state that I had never been to.

Read more

Being in club helped me process all my feelings of such a drastic change after my parents passed and I no longer had to take care of them. Sierra and her team gave me encouragement when I thought I was out of my mind and the other Clubbies were always there for me during this difficult transition to life without my parents. I will always be so thankful for the opportunity and privilege to be in club."

Clubbie
Clubbie, one year in

"Club Mäksē has become such a special part of my life. Mäksē completely changed the way I look at goal setting, but Club gave me a safe and supportive community to share the journey with.

Read more

My favorite part of the system is the Weekly Reflections. Every Sunday, like clockwork, I slow down to reflect on my wins, what's working, what's not, lessons and adjustments—and then I share it with my Clubbies. Sometimes it's pretty, sometimes it's just bullet points, but I love feeling safe enough to share the real week and knowing I'll be met with support and encouragement. My word for 2026 is Connected, and Club Mäksē has truly helped me live that word. I came for the planner, but I stayed for the people."

Jayshree N.
Jayshree N.

"In a world that might tell us No! Club Mäksē tells us YES! Yes, to learning, personal growth, being vulnerable, being heard and supported. If you are looking to chase your dreams, find friends striving for similar goals, accountability partners to hold space for you & a worldwide cheering squad – you have found your space. Being part of this wonderful community has changed how I envision my life and even more importantly, who I am becoming – the best version of me!"

Is Club for you?

Club is for you if

  • I know what I should do. I just don't do it.

And you've probably already tried

  • A new planner every January.
  • The 5am routine that lasted until February.
  • A challenge with a number in the name.
  • An accountability group that turned into one more place to fall behind.
  • Being harder on yourself, on the theory that it would finally work.

Club isn't any of those. None of them asked you a single question about your life. They asked you to change. This asks you to notice. That's a different kind of hard, and it's the kind that holds.

FAQ

Still have questions?

How much time does it take?

One live training and one live Q&A a month, plus as much of the community as you want. A few minutes with your workbook each week, more if it pulls you in. It was built for women who already have full weeks, because that's who we are too.

What if I fall behind?

There's no behind. Club runs year-round, every theme stays in the Learning Library, and the workbook waits. If you miss a month, you didn't fail anything. You had a month. Club is about how your life feels, not how it looks, and that includes how you show up here.

What if I'm not a "group" person?

Most Clubbies would have said the same. The community is private, off social media, and nobody's tracking who posts. Some women are in the app every day. Some read quietly for months and then say something only when it feels right. Both count.

What if I can't make the live sessions?

Come when you can. Replays are available on all trainings and live events (Hey, #teamreplay!). Also, on the quarterly plan, every training and Q&A replay lands in the Clubbies-only podcast feed, so you can catch up on a walk, in the car, or wherever your week has room. Nothing's lost if you miss the live.

What if I join partway through a month?

You start with whatever theme is running, and the community is open every day. On the quarterly plan, four years of past themes are yours from day one, so you can go straight to the one your life is asking for.

When do I get access?

Right after checkout, your invite to the private Club app arrives by email, with a getting-started checklist to walk you in. Your free planner ships separately if you choose quarterly.

Can I cancel?

Anytime, from your makselife.com account. Your membership renews automatically ($199 every three months or $75 every month) until you do.

Is it private?

Yes. Club lives in its own app, not on social media. Only members can see what's posted, and nothing leaves the room.

Is this therapy?

No. Club is coaching, led by Sierra Friend, Certified Life + Business Coach, and a team of certified coaches. If we think you'd be better served by a therapist, we'll say so and help you find one.

Something we didn't cover? Email hello@makselife.com. Someone from our team will take great care of you.

From the founder

From Sierra

I've been a life coach for over twenty years, and I've spent most of them building tools: planners, workbooks, systems that meet you where you are.

I'm deeply proud of them. I also know their limit.

A planner can ask you a good question, but can't hold space with you while you answer it, and it can't be there the next morning when the old rules come back louder than what you just learned.

That's why Club exists. It's the practice room, where you get to try on what's true for you before you have to carry it out into a life that's used to the old version of you.

I built it the way I did because I've needed this type of support in my own journey, and couldn't find it.

I gave my twenties to performance and it took full burnout to find out who I was underneath the accomplishments.

I've been the stay-at-home mom doing everything for everyone else, and last on my own list. I've questioned rules I was supposed to keep, and lived the consequences, and I'd do it again. Last year we sold everything and moved our family to Costa Rica, because that was the honest answer to a question I'd finally allow myself to ask, and we've never been happier.

I tell you this so you know I'm not asking you to do anything I haven't done. If I could question it, so can you. And in Club, nobody will make you feel foolish for trying.

You'll be safe with us. Come see.
