A guided rite of passage for young adults ready to break patterns and build a life that actually feels like theirs.

You're not stuck. You're repeating.

A structured rite of passage for young adults ready to break patterns and build a life that feels like their own.

If nothing changes, nothing changes.

This is for you if:

•You feel like something about your life doesn’t fit
• You’re being told what you “should” do—but it doesn’t feel right
• You don’t want to repeat the patterns you’ve seen
• You feel pressure to have it all figured out, but you don’t
• You know there’s more for you… you just don’t know what it is yet

You’re not lost.
You’re in the space between who you’ve been and who you’re becoming.

What this is

Roots to Rise is a guided, small-group experience designed to support young adults through one of the most defining transitions of their lives.Through a structured process of:

Separation → Transition → Reintegration

Participants move through confusion and inherited patterns into clarity, self-trust, and intentional direction.• Separate from expectations and patterns that no longer fit
• Learn how to navigate uncertainty without shutting down or rushing decisions
• Build clarity, self-trust, and a direction that actually feels aligned
This is not about giving you answers-it’s about helping you see clearly enough to choose your own path.

The Process

Separation

Understand who you’ve been shaped to be—and what no longer fits anymore.We look at the patterns, expectations, and influences that have been guiding your decisions—often without you realizing it.

Transition

Learn how to navigate uncertainty without shutting down or rushing into an answer.This is where most people feel stuck—but it’s actually where the most important work happens.

Reintegration

Start making decisions from a clearer, more grounded sense of who you are.You don’t leave with everything figured out—but you leave knowing how to move forward in a way that feels true.You move forward with clarity—not because everything is certain, but because you trust yourself.

What changes

By the end of this experience, you won’t have everything figured out.
But you will have something more important:

• A clearer sense of who you are
• The ability to make decisions you trust
• Awareness of the patterns shaping your life
• The confidence to move forward—without needing all the answers

You stop waiting to feel ready.
You start choosing differently.

For Parents

Roots to Rise is a structured, small-group experience designed to support young adults through one of the most important transitions of their lives.Participants are guided through a clear process that helps them develop:

• A stronger sense of identity and self-direction
• The ability to make thoughtful, independent decisions
• Emotional awareness and resilience
• Greater confidence navigating uncertainty

This is not passive support or open-ended conversation. It is a guided, intentional experience designed to help young adults build the internal foundation they will carry into the next phase of their lives.

Meet the Founder

A guided rite of passage for young adults ready to break patterns and build a life that actually feels like theirs.

Stefani Schwartz

I didn’t grow up with a clear path or strong foundation, so I learned early how to perform, survive, and prove my worth—and I became very good at it.But many of my choices were shaped by patterns I didn’t yet understand, and over time, those patterns repeated across my life.In 2021, burnout forced a shift—one that led me into deeper self-understanding and different choices rooted in truth, not pressure.As a parent of five young adults, I’ve also seen how defining and confusing this stage of life can be.Roots to Rise was created to help others see clearly, choose consciously, and step into who they are.

You’re not behind. You’re at the beginning of something.

Take the next step

You don’t need to have everything figured out.You just need to be willing to look at what’s true—and choose differently.
