The Library

The guide behind the framework

Turn the Stone.

A Woman’s Guide to Rebuilding Everything.

The book behind the framework. Six pillars. One honest invitation: stop performing the life you're tired of, and start building the one that actually fits.

You did everything right: the education, the career, the relationships, the showing up. And somewhere in all that competence, you lost the thread of yourself.

Turn the Stone is for the woman who looks fine on paper and feels quietly unrecognizable underneath. Across 46 pages and six chapters, Susan Townsend walks you through the Stop to See Clearly framework: See Clearly, Tell the Truth, Own Your Power, Negotiate Differently, Execute Relentlessly, Sustain the Shift, with real stories, research-backed insight, and reflection prompts that ask you to actually do the work.

This isn't a vision-board book. It's the honest, sometimes uncomfortable work of getting real with yourself, and then building forward from that truth.

• 6 chapters, one per Stop to See Clearly pillar, with reflection prompts and "Turn the Stone" exercises in each
• The Interactive Clarity Assessment: a scored self-evaluation across all six pillars
• The 30-Day Stop to See Clearly Practice Plan: a guided four-week on-ramp
• Curated resource library: books, tools, and next steps
• Quick-reference framework card you'll come back to for years

Pairs beautifully with the 31-Day Reset Journal. Read the book, then do the work.

For teachers & educators

Who Are You Outside of Work?

An identity workbook for women in transition.

After years of being the teacher, the coach, the fixer, the one who held it all together for everyone else’s children. Who are you when the bell stops ringing? This six-module workbook walks you back to yourself, one stone at a time.

Built on the STONES Framework and scaffolded the way you’d scaffold a lesson, with clear prompts, guided exercises, and a breakthrough question at the end of every module. Use it as a self-guided intensive, or bring it into coaching.

• Six modules mapped to the STONES Framework (S · T · O · N · E · S)
• Value sort, passion map, strengths inventory, and network mapping
• Facilitator notes so coaches can run it 1:1 or in groups
• A “Turn the Stone” breakthrough question inside every module

New: Guided Journal

The 31-Day Reset Journal.

A 31-day guided reset for the woman who is tired of starting over and ready to start becoming. Each day pairs a Stop to See Clearly–rooted prompt with a small, doable action: name what's true, tell the truth, own your power, negotiate differently, execute relentlessly, and sustain the shift.

Voice or pen, five minutes or fifty, the journal meets you where you are and walks you, one stone at a time, into the life that actually fits.

• 31 daily prompts mapped to the 6: Stop to See Clearly framework
• One small, doable action every day. No overwhelm
• Designed to use with voice or pen, in 5 minutes or 50
• Pairs beautifully with the Pebble app for voice reflection
