"Ellen Baker is a gifted coach, compassionate, insightful, and exceptionally gifted in guiding conversation, deep reflection, and transformation. With her help, I released the ties that bound me to my past and defined what I wanted for my future, then began to create it."

— Carrie S., Minnesota

You’ve built a life that works.

You’re capable. Competent. Keeping it all afloat.

Nothing has fallen apart.


More effort isn’t helping.

It feels like you’re just spinning your wheels.

Like you’re waiting — for clarity, for permission, for something to shift.


And yet. You feel exhausted. Constrained. Oddly unsatisfied.


You’re not selfish, ungrateful, or broken.

You’re just receiving information.

Your body and your soul are telling you that you’re still living inside a framework that no longer fits.

A framework made of unspoken stories of what it means to be accomplished, acceptable, good.

This framework of stories about who you are has gotten you this far. You’ve done everything right inside it.

But it comes from outdated ideas of who you believe you’re “supposed to” be.

And it simply can’t take you where you want to go next.

Stop living from old stories of who you are, and start becoming who you’re meant to be.

Join The Next Chapter Studio to stop self-abandoning, discover what you really want, and start living your truth. The first transformational journey begins in 2027.

"I don't know many coaches who are the real deal like Ellen."

This is not another program to complete or list to check off.

It’s a space to author a new chapter in the story of your life.

From Ellen.

I created The Next Chapter Studio because I know how painful and disorienting it is to find that the successful life you’ve built no longer fits.

I divorced in 2010, moved cross-country from Minnesota to Maine, and spent the next several years wrestling with a question that many women face in midlife: Why did a life that looked perfectly fine from the outside simply not feel right? And why did I keep repeating the pattern of looking to others for approval and permission—not to mention making the same mistakes?

As I trained as an intuitive mindset coach, energy healer, and oracle card reader and continued writing character-driven novels, I began to see the same truth everywhere: our trajectory in life is the result of stories we believe about ourselves—usually without even knowing it.

Those stories—inherited, absorbed, or learned long ago—tell us who we’re supposed to be, what we should want, and who and how we need to be to be worthy of love, approval, or belonging.

I discovered that pain and limitation comes from living inside these invisible stories—and that relief and expansion comes when you uncover and revise them to align with the spiritually-driven truth of who you are and what you want, so you can create a life that lights you up from the inside out.

I created The Next Chapter Studio to help you do just that.

Inside The Next Chapter Studio, you’ll start to see the stories that have been shaping your choices and keeping you stuck.

Then you’ll discover how to rewrite these stories and embody a new version of you at the energetic level, so you can stop repeating old patterns, start making choices from a place of clarity, intuition and self-trust, and consciously author what comes next to create a life that lights you up.

Over time, this work changes.

How you make decisions.

How you hold ambition.

How you approach your finances.

How you define responsibility.

How you experience desire.

And because those foundations shift, so does:

What you tolerate.

What you leave.

What you pursue.

What you receive.

What you’ll get inside the Studio

The Foundation

Tools and curriculum to use at your own pace to create change in any area of your life you choose along the way.

ENOUGH. A short transformational course that shifts you from meeting the standard and pleasing everyone else to choosing the direction as the author of your own life.

THE IDENTITY REWRITE METHOD. A clear, step-by-step repeatable process for making your internal rules visible and rewriting the stories shaping your results. Use it any time you catch yourself shrinking or defaulting to old patterns.

INTEGRATION TOOLS. Reusable tools and strategies to reinforce the new stories until you begin living from them all the time.

The guided journeys

GUIDED 90-DAY TRANSFORMATIONAL JOURNEYS.

Each quarter, as a cohort, we’ll focus on a different area of life to create focused results. You’ll discover the internal stories that are creating unwanted results and rewrite those internal stories to create the outcomes you desire.

This is not about changing your habits. This is about changing your choices from the inside out.

The Community

TWICE MONTHLY LIVE COACHING CALLS. One at the start to kick off the next phase of that month’s journey. One open studio call in the middle for questions, support, and personalized coaching in a group setting.

COMMUNITY SUPPORT. A private, supportive online community of women who are authoring their own next chapters.

WEEKLY ORACLE CARD READINGS. For additional guidance and support.

PROMPTS AND RESOURCES. To help you reflect, transform, integrate, and embody your changes into your everyday life.

This space is for you if…

You are not in crisis.

You are not starting over.

Your life looks just fine from the outside — yet you can feel yourself chafing at the rules that built it

→ You sense there's more available, not because what you have is broken, but because it no longer fits

→ You are no longer willing to wait for change and clarity to arrive on its own

→ You're not looking for another program to optimize yourself — you want a space to become who you already know you are

→ You are ready to stop outsourcing authority over your own life and connect with a deeper, intuitive sense of who you are

If this is you, The Next Chapter Studio was built for you.
