If this conversation resonates with you, Kaye has created a short blueprint that reflects how she helps women turn their expertise into a clear, sellable program—without starting over or waiting for more confidence.

You can access it here:
https://www.thecouturemom.com/blueprint

Kaye Dixon works with women who know exactly what they want to build—but keep putting it off because they’re waiting for the right time to start.

After 15 years in her career, Kaye walked away with three kids, no safety net, and a clear decision: she wasn’t going to burn her life down to prove a point. She chose to build what was next responsibly—without abandoning her family, her standards, or herself.

Today, Kaye works with established women who are done circling the same ideas, undercharging for what they know, and waiting to feel “ready” before they move. Through her signature framework, The ICON Method, she walks beside her clients as they turn what’s already in their experience into a real program—one they can finally commit to building and selling.

This work isn’t about motivation or reinvention. It’s about deciding. Deciding to stop postponing the thing you already know you’re capable of—and finishing it with clarity, structure, and support.

If you’ve been telling yourself, “I’ll get to this once things settle,” this is the moment you realize you don’t have to earn your turn.
