Bluebird Award

As of May 2026, and after careful consideration, I’ve decided to discontinue the Bluebird Award. I’ve been offering this award for ten years, and it has been one of the quieter privileges of my practice. I’m grateful to all who participated and who supported this endeavor. It is time to change things up! lg

Coaching conversations with Lyedie Geer and a women focusing on fulfilling personal, professional, and creative longings.

Three months of coaching at no cost, awarded by Lyedie at the Longings Project

Twice a year I take a client through a 3-month coaching program at no cost. This is a way for me to be of service in the midst of this ongoing gorgeous ruckus, and I am eager to read your application and consider how our work together can be wind under your wings.

What I look for in a client receiving the Bluebird Award: 

  • Women with a longing they want to fulfill

  • Women with a willingness and desire to develop themselves

  • Dedication to being the cause of beauty, truth, and goodness

  • Specific projects or intentions that will have an impact in the world

  • True financial need - I use the honor system for this . . .

Deadlines for submission:

  • Midnight on June 21st (Award decision by August 21st for fall start)

  • Midnight on December 21st (Award decision by January 15th for winter start)

Wind under my wings is exactly what I gained from working with Lyedie Geer. During a period of transition in my life, Lyedie’s wisdom and guidance helped me to establish my footing so I could take off with verve. Throughout our work together I felt an inner groundedness building gradually after each meeting which strengthened my trust in myself, helped me reclaim my sense of power and reminded me of the excitement of possibility in my life. Her style of coaching always made me feel like I was leading the way with her support and guidance as momentum for every step. I know I will carry the tools learned from Lyedie’s coaching for a long time.
