Where you are free to create the change you want to see in the world (or YOUR world)?
WE NEED MORE PEOPLE LIKE YOU.
Take your next step to your future with Daretaking alongside other like-minded daretakers.
The next round of Daretaking opens in...
Are you someone who spent most of 2020 looking around at the world, wondering how you could help? You know that you were born to do more than what you’re doing now, but you aren’t quite sure how to make that happen.
So you find yourself…
Losing sleep night after night.
You toss and turn thinking about all the things: Am I enough at work? Will my to-do list ever get smaller? Who am I supposed to be now that she’s gone? What did that guy mean when he said that I just didn’t get it? What about the kids’ college savings? How am I going to talk to my husband about what I discovered? Will our business make it through the pandemic? How am I supposed to show up to the Black Lives Matter convo when I can barely show up to the grocery store once a week? With so many things happening at once, you don’t know where to start.
Literally sick and tired.
I see you out there trying to do it all and be it all. You’re giving your time, your money, and all your energy to everyone and everything...and there’s nothing left for you. Half the time you end up sick in bed playing the “Is this a cold, Covid, or burnout?” loop over and over in your head while doomscrolling social media wondering if the world might actually be ending. It’s exhausting to care as much as you do but you’d never want to care less.
Feeling all alone in the struggle.
Whether you are literally alone or just feel that way, you look around and can’t seem to find anyone else who feels like you do. Don’t these people going about their day see that the world has turned into a shitshow around us? Are they not worried that this place seems to be on fire?
I have good news for you.
There is a whole community out there who feels just like you.
People who see what you see, feel what you feel, and are ready to be the changemakers that the world needs...
in a way that’s sustainable for us all.
You aren’t alone.
You don’t have to feel this way.
And you can finally get some sleep.
Let’s talk more about that excellent news! Click to book your call with me today.
What is…
Daretaking?
The hands-on program and community designed to deeply support daretakers create brand-new, sustainable lives for themselves while also creating a community of culture changers in business, families and organizations.
I’ve taken everything I've learned from my 6 years as a life coach to create this one-of-a-kind community to help people like you take the next right step to move beyond the life they have into the life they want.
Daretaking isn’t another program promising fantastical results. It’s a community first and a support program second. It’s a place for you to feel connected, supported, and empowered to do more in the world.
But, what does Daretaking look like?
It starts as a 9-month program that takes you through the 9 Pillars of my Daretaking method. Lots of people think that living bravely is where you decide to leap and watch the net appear. You can go that route, but it's a harder way to go — especially when you leap and expect the net to appear, but it takes its sweet ass time appearing. Jumping straight to the leap can wreak a lot of havoc on your body and life (hello panic mode and constant stress).
AND if you never take the leap, fear will leave you stranded in your overthinking, planning a life at the whiteboard and never LIVING IT.
Instead I want you to get some personal ducks in a row and meet a few friends along the way so that even when you feel lost or scared, you’ll never have to feel that way in a vacuum. Plus, you’ll have a PLAN that works.
Click to open each month and see more of what to expect.
+ Month 1: Embrace Biology
Stress is an energy you can learn and harness for wisdom. Learning how your stress biology and energy can hold you back or propel you forward removes so many feelings of powerlessness during intense times, and is the first step to becoming a Daretaker.
+ Month 2: Get Really Real
Getting out of habits of blaming others for what’s not working while taking an honest, kind observation of all the things not working in your life further builds a bridge back to your own agency. You have all the things you need once you know where to look.
+ Month 3: Have Your Own Back
Listen, you matter so very much. More than you even know and, no, that’s not selfishness. Learning when and why to rest and play is just as important as learning when to leap into the unknown. Talking to yourself like a person who is imperfect and wonderful and caring for your body like it's the only one you get are keys to calming anxiety and melting depression.
+ Month 4: Discover The Possible
Let’s explore your more!! By this month you’ll already have some inklings of where you’re headed with this brave new ending. But even if you get to this spot with your Total Uncertainty still intact, you’ll have me as a fellow spelunker and auxiliary creative thinker helping you finally figure out some next moves.
+ Month 5: Rethink Your Myths
You’re not crazy, this shit’s hard and there are systems upon systems out there making it harder -- we’ve been duped!! Whether it’s the gender you’ve been assigned (and it’s many, many roles) or how the world expects you to be a certain kind of person based on the color of your skin, your visible abilities, the size of your body, or any other array of labels, you can be sure this has informed the way you think about yourself and others. Rethinking the Modern Mythology will open the door to your cage and free you to be a whole human being rather than a programmed femme-bot, robocop, or non-binary productivity machine.
+ Month 6: Speak True Needs
Nothing will muddy up your plans like the burnout acquired from ignoring your basic needs (psst -- emotional health is a need, too!). Nothing will destroy your relationships like ignoring the dignity of those around you. It. Will. Get. Complicated. But embracing paradox and using your words will untangle the knots so that you can truly thrive in this new life and others around you can feel considered and respected.
+ Month 7: Plot Your Leap
Your heart is calling you to something more true that builds more of what you want to see in the world. By now you’ve done lots of hard, fun and surprising groundwork and drastically swung the odds in your favor. This leap is a working prototype meant for experimentation and adaptation.
+ Month 8: Gather a Net
The ultimate soft place to land is the place where you’ve nurtured trusting relationships that are embedded with intentional care and clear communication (and encourage those things in each other, too). Some folks/things may not make it to where you’re going. That’s okay, they’re on their path and you’re on yours. But the crew you’ve gathered (and the You you’ve reclaimed) will bring that deep sense of true belonging you’ve always craved and deserved. These folks will celebrate your wins, console your losses, and see through your bullshit with loving, radical candor.
+ Month 9: Trust yourself
Hone your spidey sense and accelerate your trajectory. You have standards for this new life you’ve created. Part of the Prototype Your Life process is trusting your choices, your ability to pivot again and again (or digging into Commitment Consistency).
Daretaking is truly priceless, but if you were to work with me for 9 months 1:1 the investment would be more than $6,500. Daretaking is your chance to see true life transformation for only $350 a month.
THEN, after your first 9 months of programming, the cost drops to $100mo for as long as you want to stay in the community. You’re welcome to go through the core program again or just hang out in an online space with people who know how to do that well.
It’ll be like FB, but if everyone was emotionally intelligent and rooting for each other AND a better world. Imagine that.
Really knows her shit.
Sheri is kind and empathetic while having concrete strategies for creating more space for my general well-being -- especially during my divorce. She's clearly done her homework and really knows her shit.
Thank you, Sheri, for being here when I needed support the most.

This was the best decision I have ever made...IN MY ENTIRE LIFE.
For almost all my adult life I had been a massive skeptic when it came to "Self Help". I would see people in that section of the book store and think, "Man, I am glad I have my shit together." Then, I noticed there were things happening in and around me that I, and others, really didn't think was all that awesome. It was almost as if I, in fact, did not have my shit together.
I decided to do something about it. Long story short, I called Sheri and chose to trust the process and dive in headfirst. This was the best decision I have ever made...IN MY ENTIRE LIFE. I have connected with myself and my family on a whole other level. I have found a new way to be a partner and parent that not only can talk to my kids about living wholeheartedly but, more importantly, show them daily.

Sheri has a way of seeing the potential in people and helping them see it in themselves, too.
Some of the best parts of the program were seeing how the same issue or struggle shows up for different people. The 1:1 time was valuable as well - it helped me go forward with the work.
Sheri has a way of seeing the potential in people and helping them see it in themselves, too. She’s a straight shooter, and wants to help people be the best version of themselves. I’d definitely recommend working with her!

Who’s behind Daretaking?
Hi, I’m Sheri Guyse. I’m a coach who is committed to helping YOU live a big, brave life.
Before I was having deep conversations as a coach for a living, I was fundamentally interested in uncovering stories and learning about people's lives in my work in communications and journalism. As I worked my own journey of personal growth, I discovered Dr. Brené Brown, as well as Elizabeth Gilbert, Kristin Neff and just about every song lyric by Patty Griffin.
As a coach and the leader of Daretaking, I won't ask you to walk down a path I've never walked myself and am transparent about the stumbles and falls from my own life -- those messy times were fertile ground for some of my biggest times of learning and growth. And I bet yours are, too.
I promised myself I will live a big, brave life -- and that’s what I want for you, too.
To create that big brave life, we must heal our unhealed hurts. We gotta dive deep into the unique influences that shape us and often ask us to perform an acceptable version of human being rather than be ourselves. We must unravel our social conditioning, own our stories and get real about who we really are.
Then we have to get real with the world.
That’s Daretaking.
2020 taught us that nothing in life is guaranteed. Why wait until you “have the time” or are “ready to invest in yourself”?
Now is the time to commit to yourself, to your future, and to the future of our world.
Commit to Daretaking.
FAQ
+ Do I have to commit to the full 9 months?
Pardon my french, but absofuckinglutely.
Actually, I hope you stick around a lot longer than the first 9 months -- we’ll only be getting started by then. Meaningful change takes time, consistency, space and so much more. I’ve towed this line for years that quick fixes are perfect flat tires and late night snacks (thank you, microwave popcorn!) but have no place in personal growth, at least if you want that growth to stick around.
+ What if I want support after the 9 months are over?
A: WISH GRANTED! Unlike other programs, Daretaking doesn’t disappear once the program concludes. After you’ve completed the 9-month program you will be in the community that is kind of like Facebook...if everyone on Facebook was emotionally intelligent.
Once you’ve made 9 monthly payments your plan will drop into $100/mo so you can stick around in the Daretaking community as a founding member.
+ Do I need to sign up for this right now?
If you’re still reading, I would guess that you’re really, really thinking about saying yes.
Before I answer this question, I have one FOR YOU: How often do you talk yourself out of the things you want or need?
The truth is… of course you don’t have to sign up for this right now. Fake urgency isn’t sexy… it’s patriarchal capitalistic mind control bullshit. If you don’t join this cohort, there will be another one in 3ish months. You will get another chance! But you’ll also be postponing your needs for another 3, 6, 9 or however many more months you’ve already postponed those needs.
So is now the time? Decide with your heart, not with your guilt. Decide based on your known schedule, not what the people in your life think you should do with your schedule.
+ How will I access the content?
The programming content will be hosted in an online curriculum portal, most likely one I enjoy called Teachery. The community will be hosted in a Facebook group until our membership numbers and dynamic have enough oomph to thrive on an alternative platform like Mighty Networks or Mesh (two I’m researching at the moment). Our group calls will be on Zoom and I’ll also drop little videos into the online forum, too!
+ Do I get 1:1 support?
Absofuckinglutely. I will be personally supporting you in several ways -- monthly 1:1 integration calls, personally to you during group Zoom calls twice a month and every day in the online community.
+ What if I can’t afford it?
Look, I do not want you to run out and get a loan for this. I also don’t want you to be paying high-interest rates because you put this on your emergency credit card. Yes, I believe that joining Daretaking can and will change your life. But if you’re barely holding it together financially, take a beat. This isn’t a place for you to rush in because of FOMO.
But I do want to make it as accessible as possible. That’s why I offer one month free if you pay in full, or I keep it manageable with nine easy payments of $350 a month.
+ I still have more questions.
Let’s get on a call and I can answer them for you.
