You love God. You know Scripture. You want to trust Him fully.
But when pressure rises, you still:
Overthink and over-manage
Feel responsible for holding everything together
Struggle to truly rest
You may look strong on the outside
But inside, you’re tired of carrying what was never meant to be yours.
You don’t need more Bible knowledge.
You need clarity about what’s quietly driving you.
When uncertainty comes, you tightern. You problem-solve. You prepare for every outcome. Trust can take more time and feels harder than effort.

Self-protection feels normal. Control feels responsible. Performance feels faithful. Without clarity, the patterns stay hidden.

You know there is more freedom available in God's love, but you're not sure what is blocking it or how to move forward.

You know there is more freedom available in God's love, but you're not sure what is blocking it or how to move forward.
Utilizing the book Unhooked - A Woman's Journey From Self-Preservation to Freedom in God's Love.
It is a guided process that combines my book, personal reflection, and two private clarity coaching sessions to help you see what you may not recognize on your own.
I will guide you.
God will do the transforming.
You will be strengthened in God and gain greater confidence in yourself.
My book Unhooked will provide the framework for our work together and your journey to greater freedom. As you learn how I developed a self-protected life, you'll discover your own hooks. I will keep you rooted in truth, through accountability and coaching.
I have walked this walk. I knew God and had been storing His Word in my head and my heart. Yet, a day came when I recognized that my actions and reactions were out of alignment with God's Word and ways.
In my prayer time, I started asking God to 'remove every hook that keeps me, from going to you first'. Rather than run to other things or people, I desired God to be the one I would run to.
God helped me by giving me revelation to my self-protective ways that shaped by belief system. You will know the truth and the truth will set you free. (John 8:32) He can do the same for you!
Through what God did for me, I have a deeper understanding of God's truth and the freedom, that comes from His truth. I now assist women in living from God's truth and walk out of their own self-protecting ways.

"I should be able to figure this out on my own."
Most of us can't see our own blind spots. Strength does not eliminate the need for clarity
"I've already read the book."
Reading brings awareness. Guided coaching brings personal application. They are not the same.
"I don't have time right now."
Self-protection is already costing you time and energy. Addressing it creates space, not pressure.
These are answers to almost every question that were asked from us previously.
Answer to question 1 - No. While the journey is anchored in the book, is also includes two private clarity coaching sessions to help you personally identify and address your own hooks.
Answer to question 2 - That's okay. Many women read it and later realize they need deeper personal clarity. The coaching sessions help you apply the message directly to your life.
Answer to question 3 - Plan for time to read one chapter of the book, reflect prayerfully, listen and journal. Most women spend 1-2 hours per week engaging intentionally.
Answer to question 4 - The first session helps you recognize and identify you have a hook(s) that needs removal and set focus for the 6-weeks ahead. The final session helps you solidify what God has revealed and stand strong in the freedom for which Jesus Christ died to set you free.
Answer to question 5 - The coaching sessions are private and one-on-one. The rest of the journey follows a structured guided group format.
Answer to question 6 - Most women don't realize they are until they begin examining their patterns. If you often feel responsible, guarded, or unable to rest, this journey will likely bring helpful clarity.

Because this is a spiritually engaged and coaching-based experience, your transformation depends largely on your participation.
If you complete the first clarity session and begin the journey but feel within the first 7 days that it is not a good fit, you may request a full refund.
After that point, refunds are not offered due to the personal coaching time reserved for you.

Sandra Rykbost is the founder of Real You Coaching and the author of Unhooked: A Woman’s Journey from Self-Preservation to Freedom in God’s Love.
Unhooked was not written from theory, it was written from experience.
After years of unknowingly living from self-protection and control, God began revealing the hidden patterns that were shaping her faith and relationships. Through that process, she experienced deep freedom and a stronger dependence on God and His love.
Her work is centered on one purpose: helping Christian women be loosed from the hooks that keep them from going to God first.
