Individual Coaching and Mentoring
tailored to support your personal transformational breakthrough
-
In this initial 90-minute activation session we will discuss your goals, visions, and areas of priority for Breakthrough. You’ll describe your current zones of experience, artistic and otherwise, and we’ll assess your creative resources. I'll guide you in creating your 2025 breakthrough action plan with a step-by-step map to a specific, measurable creative–or life–goal: the breakthrough you wish to achieve. Together, we'll identify needs, tools, exercises, and resources to support your success. Toward the end of the session we’ll explore next steps including the individual package, creative group cohort, or combination of resources that can best support you to fulfill your vision and have a breakthrough year.
Note, this Activation session is a pre-requisite for continuing with single coaching or mentoring sessions or with 3, 5, and 10 session coaching packages. An Individual Activation session is not required for the Creative Breakthrough Cohorts in the Your Breakthrough Year programs, however this session can be added to enhance decision-making or to customize your Breakthrough plan, following the free 18-minute breakthrough call.
The Activation session price will be applied toward fees for any continuing program I offer in 2025, including the 3-, 5- and 10-session coaching or mentoring packages, and Creative Breakthrough Cohorts.

Judith-Kate Friedman co-founded and co-directed the Psalms, Songs and Stories™ project with Rabbi Sheldon Marder at the San Francisco Campus for Jewish Living (2003-2019).
The program is now available as a co-facilitated experience in which Judith-Kate and a clergy person or scholar well-versed in Psalms or other wisdom literature collaborate together to serve specific community needs in a one or two day workshop or a series of sessions (online or in person).
The experience brings participants on a journey into one or more liturgical texts through diverse translations and related artwork. They then co-compose original musical compositions using the Songwriting Works™ approach.
Past projects have engaged elder Jews (average age 88) residing in long-term care settings , rabbinical students and community elders co-writing together, congregants of all ages composing songs for holidays, and interfaith groups using the study and songwriting experience to share diverse perspectives, listen deeply to each other, and turn their heartfelt understandings into memorable songs.
All arrangements are made in collaboration with Project host(s). Pricing varies.
