  • No worries–we've got you covered!

    Designed with your schedule and lifestyle in mind, Finesse School Book Club (FSBC) is structured to support you not only reading the selected books but is intentionally designed to move at a thoughtfully slow pace, allowing you the time and space to process the wisdom captured in each text. 

    Rather than a hurried pace of reading 12 books within a year, we focus on one book throughout the entire year, allowing you the time and space to dive deep into each author's message and begin to embody their wisdom.

    Additionally, for each book selection, you'll receive a flood of bite-sized, digestible content with quick summaries of the books, interviews of the highlighted authors, weekly journal prompts, and 24/7 access to Coach Ryane and the wisdom of the collective.

    Each live, virtual Book Club event is recorded and shared in our members portal.
