Welcome to The Glow Community
Hack Your Brain
Stop beating yourself up when you don’t do the thing you wanted to do and learn why it happened. Whether that’s three hours scrolling on your phone, eating half a box of cookies, or snapping at your kids. It’s not about self-control, it’s about self-awareness.
(And the shame spiral isn’t helping, either.)
Understand Your Husband
So many of our issues come from the insane idea that we’re supposed to operate the same, that there’s some gold standard of how to behave. Your husband is a unique individual and probably in many ways about as different from you as he can be. Instead of being frustrated, you’re going to see your differences as your best asset as a couple.
Love Your Life
Everybody can buy into a life that you love. Not a life that you can manage or that you can get by with. Learn to dream big and see how it lights up everyone around you.
What's Inside
WEEKLY LIVE GROUP COACHING
You got the concepts but want help applying them to your specific situation? We have calls every week where you can come on and get coached live OR listen to others and see the tools in action. Either way you will come out inspired.
MONTHLY TOPIC CALL
Want to keep growing but need some guidance? We alternate between Marriage and Life calls–balancing all areas that make us Glow. One month we might work on our intimate lives and the next we’re redesigning our schedules. Monthly workbooks help you get even more out of these topic calls.
COMMUNITY
Get support and troubleshoot with other growth-oriented women who are showing up in their lives in a totally new way. The community is run on Slack, NOT social media, so you don’t end up scrolling for hours every time you check in. Accessible by desktop or mobile device.
VIDEO VAULT
Want to look back at past topics, like how to stop scrolling on your phone, love your intimate life, or improve your relationships? Past topic calls are available to you to browse and replay at any time.
PRIVATE MEMBER PODCAST
Sometimes life is too busy to log in. That’s not a problem. As a Glow Community member, you get access to our members-only podcast where all call recordings are posted. Listen as you run errands, do carpool, or go for a run (especially fabulous for Pesach cleaning and sefirah!)
COACHING
Glow Community members get first pick when private coaching spots with Kayla open up. This is a totally optional but amazing opportunity to go even deeper in all the work you do here in the program, or to add on external accountability.
My Bonus Gifts to You
WHEN YOU JOIN THE GLOW COMMUNITY,
YOU ALSO GET INSTANT ACCESS TO MY TWO ONLINE COURSES:
Time Management for Jewish Women
The typical time management systems just aren’t made for busy Jewish women. In this course, I teach you how to know if you need to step back and design a schedule, a week, or a project, and how to do it simply and easily. Leave the overwhelm and panic behind and enjoy your time again.
Self Coaching Fundamentals
You are your own best coach. I’ll show you how. Learn my simple system for self-coaching and you will be able to apply these tools to any problem. The more you do it, the better you get, until this simply becomes the way you think.

A happier brain one month at a time
“Kayla, I just wanted to express my overflowing gratitude for everything that you’ve taught me. I function differently after learning the material you’ve taught. I can’t believe I’ve gone my whole life not knowing all this!
I see what a difference it feels like to be in my brain now compared to when we first started, and it’s amazing. You’re right, you can’t ‘unlearn’ this stuff! I hope iyH to take this awareness with me wherever I go, and to only keep growing from it all. Thank you, thank you, thank you.”
Hi, I'm Kayla
I’ve spent the last six years coaching hundreds of women on making their lives better — starting with their marriages.
Having everything right “on paper” — you are both basically good people and compatible — doesn’t really matter when you feel disconnected, frustrated, or anxious.
Positive self-talk, getting support from a friend, and listening to classes all have their place, but if you feel that you’re spinning in the same cycles of negativity (INCLUDING judging yourself for not “just being happy!”) you’re in the right place.
I help women develop deep connection, authentic connection, and confidence so they can have the marriage — and the life — of their dreams.
Managing your mind and loving your marriage doesn’t require PhD-level information, tons of hard work, or massive amounts of willpower. It requires some love for yourself, willingness to try something new, and a few minutes a day.
You’ll never look back.
You ready to join us?

-
Who is this course for?This course is for newly married Jewish women who have been married for at least a month by the course start date. This will give you time to calm down from the excitement of the wedding and have the headspace to focus on the course!
-
What is the schedule?Our next cohort launches December 2nd but there are NO live calls you have to attend. This program was designed to make sure that no matter what your schedule you'll get what you need. Each week you'll get access to the next class in the course and you'll have a space to submit your anonymous questions. Those answers will be sent out the following week. We also have an amazing online community where you can brainstorm, get coaching on less private aspects of the course, connect to other members of the cohort, and join our challenges and win prizes. You'll have course access for three months from the start date.
-
What if I’m not in my first year of marriage anymore?According to Rabbi Akiva Tatz, shana rishona now takes 10 years to “accomplish” what it once took only one! If you’re still in a newlywed headspace, focusing on building your marriage, you’re welcome to join. Just note that we will not be coaching on topics that are not newlywed-specific (ie, parenting issues, unless one of you came into the marriage with children).
-
I’m getting married really really soon! (Or even during the course!) Can I sign up?Trust me, you have enough on your mind right now just getting ready for your wedding and settling into your new life. As much as I’d love to work with you right away, I know the best thing for you is to use this course AFTER the initial flurry of excitement has calmed and you’re in more of a “real world” life situation. Join us for the next round and you’ll get 1000% more out of it!
-
Things are going great so far– do I still need this course?This course is about having the best marriage possible. For some women, that means dealing with some bigger struggles, and for others it’s more about fine-tuning and dreaming big. With that said, sometimes it’s not the marriage itself but everything else that could use some attention– your work life or the in-laws or money–that you would like to work on. If the description is resonating with you and you are excited to invest in your marriage, I recommend you sign up.
-
Will we be talking about parenting?While I love using coaching to work on our own parenting and personal growth in my advanced coaching community How to Glow, this program is not the place for it. Let’s make this space special by really honing in on JUST building your relationship. Trust me, there’s nothing better you could do for your kids! (One caveat: if either of you came into the marriage with children, that is absolutely something you can ask questions about!)
-
What if I already took the First Year Married Course?While the main topics are the same, this will be a totally updated version of FYM, gaining from my experience over the last several years of teaching this material and working closely with married women. Plus we’ll have a brand new class on Communication, and the benefit of live classes and an online community. I’d love to have you join us again!
-
How long will I have access to the course?You'll have access to the material for three months from the start date. Self-paced courses don’t work for most brains, so we’re keeping the timeframe limited to give everyone an extra push to stay with the group and keep up the momentum. Three months gives you a few weeks after the final class to go back and review or catch up if needed.
-
I’m not a newlywed but I love this coaching stuff. Is this for me?If you’re not a newlywed, I recommend you check out my advanced coaching community, How to Glow, where we use this material to grow and improve in all aspects of our lives as married Jewish women.
-
Do I need access to social media to participate in the community?Nope! Our community is run on the Kajabi platform, which does not require a connection to any social media account.
-
Will this program work with my internet filter?This program works with most filters, sometimes with some inital setup (ie, asking for certain sites to be opened). If you can access this page, you should be fine. If your filter doesn’t allow access, we can send you a Google Drive file of each week’s course. Please reach out to jessie@kaylalevin.com and let her know you’ll be needing that. (Please do not request this unless you truly have a filter issue.)
-
Does my enrollment include my husband?There is something very powerful about working on your marriage on your own–it allows you to see your own behavior and reality in a new way, which is why this is not designed to be a couples’ program. With that said, many women have found it beneficial to share the worksheets with their husbands because they were so excited about the material.
-
Is this course only for Orthodox Jewish women?This course was inspired by the Jewish idea of “shana rishona” and I have a tendency to quote some pretty awesome Rabbis from time to time. However, the content of the course is based primarily on my experience with my clients, thought work from my training under Brooke Castillo, training at the Refuah Institute, and many marriage courses and books I have taken and studied over the years. We have a broad range of backgrounds but as I am an Orthodox Jewish woman, this will always be my strongest point of reference and a large portion of the participants are also frum women. One other point on this… This material is here to help you with your OWN values and priorities, so I won’t be telling you how you "should" act or what the role of a wife is. (Nor is there any halacha–this is not a kallah class.) That is entirely individual and will vary from person to person. This course is about helping you to become the wife YOU want to be, and have the best possible marriage. On your terms, not mine. Make sense?
-
Can I give the course as a gift to someone?Absolutely! Just register here and you'll get a personalized coupon code that she can use to set up her account and join the program. Way to go on being an awesome gift-giver!
-
What does “pay what you can” mean?The price of this course is $180, but we want this material to be available to all newlyweds, not just those who can afford a premium program like this. (We were pretty broke as newlyweds, so maybe that’s why this is important to us!) I encourage you to pick a number that you feel great about and pay that. You shouldn’t be worrying about buying groceries because you paid the full price here.
-
What if I can’t even afford the minimum amount?Email jessie@kaylalevin.com and she will try to set you up with a sponsor. (PS, many of our members have found that their parents are THRILLED to offer this course as a gift!)
-
I’d love to sponsor someone who can’t pay! How do I do that?Thank you! Email jessie@kaylalevin.com and let her know. We’ll only ask you to pay for a kallah if and when we have someone who requested it.
-
I’m a kallah teacher/Rebbetzin/seminary teacher and I’m on board with your mission! How can I help?Thank you! Please help by spreading the word to your former students, email lists, and WhatsApp groups–wherever you communicate! If you’d like a flyer, you can reach out to jessie@kaylalevin.com for something easy to send!
-
I’m a kallah teacher/Rebbetzin/seminary teacher and I want to learn this material so I can teach it to my kallahs. Can I take the course?Absolutely! I’d be honored to have you in the course, but please hear me out on one thing–it’s so so so important that women are given the message that the main work happens AFTER they are married. You know better than I do how distracted and idealistic a kallah is. It’s very hard to truly believe all this material will be personally relevant. Once they are “in the ring” and dealing with the day-to-day realities, they can apply this work on a whole new level (plus, they aren’t left feeling like they failed because they didn’t get a picture perfect happily-ever-after right off the bat!). I leave it to your judgment what to include in your classes, what to “tease,” and what not to–and I hope you’ll encourage your kallahs to plan to take this course as a first step into a lifetime of growth and learning about improving her shalom bayis.
