They told you being a newlywed was hard. Honestly, you didn't believe them. Don't worry... none of us did.

Don't worry. I've got you.

I've walked HUNDREDS of women through the newlywed stage and while I can't promise it'll always be easy, you CAN make sure all your hard work is paying off in a real way--building a strong marriage, a life you love, and some A+ personal development while you're at it.

We start Dec. 2nd, but there are some surprises for the early birds. Sign up now to get access!

How is it that everything can be SO RIGHT on paper---great girl, great guy, no major "issues"--and yet this transition can be so tough?!

Because being a newlywed IS a challenge. Don't worry--it's not hard like, "there's something urgently wrong here" hard. It's hard like, "amazing workout but also a little sore" hard.

I mean think about it--when's the last time you had ANY life transition this big? It's not just the marriage--even though that's HUGE--it's also a new home, new routines, very often new job, maybe even new city or country or CONTINENT... why did we ever think it would be easy again?

Master Your Mind

It might sound strange to start a marriage class with focusing on your mindset--after all, there's SO MUCH to discuss--but the truth is, without this self awareness we'll always be in victim mode, feeling stuck. Getting your head in the right space is more than positive mantras, but it's also very simple and do-able.

Beliefs & a New Model

You came into your marriage with a bucket full of thoughts you never chose--ideas about what marriage is supposed to look like, what to expect of your husband, what makes a "good wife"... let's get clear on what actually helps you live your values, which thoughts are getting you stuck, and what to do about them.

But His Socks Are Still on The Floor

In this class, you’re going to get some major lightbulb moments about what makes your husband DO all that STUFF that drives you crazy! (Plus some amazing perks to being married to a man that you might not even realize!) Learn to tap into what REALLY gets him motivated and you'll be bringing so much positivity into your marriage you might start glowing.

Shana Rishona

Until now, life probably gave you a lot of structure, and that included accomplishment, social time, and purposeful activity. Now it's on you to design a lot of that for yourself. Not easy. In this class I'll help you design your first year of marriage to maximize the potential of this year (and actually enjoy yourself while you're at it).

Love It All Up

This week’s class is all about intimacy and unconditional love. I’ll share with you a new way of looking at your connection that will remove the stress or awkwardness so you can focus on truly connecting. As with every week, our anonymous Q&A will give you a chance to ask questions in total privacy.

The Resentment/Self Care Connection

Nobody wants to feel resentful of their husband but if we aren't careful it can creep up on the best of us. Most of the time, we just try to tell him what to do differently so we can feel better. But if that's all you do, you're actually missing out on some important information that could be helping you live a better life.

07 Brand New!

Communication Masterclass

You don’t need to learn this the hard way! Find out what to do when he’s hurt your feelings, what encourages men to communicate more, what to do when you need to unload, and how to create goal clarity as a couple. This class is PACKED with ideas and extremely practical takeaways.

Course Participant

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.
