A Playful Path to Deep Transformation
Apply by February 10 to join our March Cohort
What the heck is What the Funk?!…?
What the Funk?! is an 8-week small group coaching experience designed to help you get out of your funk and find clarity, energy, and direction.
Think of it as a reset button with psychology-informed tools and support to actually build momentum instead of spinning in circles.
The next program kicks off in March 2026, and meets virtually for one hour, once per week.
Final session dates and times will be determined based on group availability once enrollment is complete.
Who’s it for?
What the Funk?! is for anyone who finds themselves in a “funk”—stuck, stagnant, burnt out, lost, or just not feeling like themselves anymore.
Maybe you’re questioning your purpose. Maybe you’ve checked all the boxes you thought would make you happy and, sh*t… you’re still wondering, “Is this all there is?”
If you’re all funked up and craving relief, clarity, and connection, you’re in the right place.
How does What the Funk?! work?
Because transformation happens through connection, What the Funk?! combines individual reflection with 8 live weekly group meetings, one-on-one coaching, and a private WhatsApp group.
Weekly Workbooks
For 8 weeks, you’ll receive a weekly module that will introduce a new concept along with reflection prompts to answer on your own.
Live Guided Group Sessions
75 minutes each week for 8 weeks
We start each session with a short group improv exercise to get out of your head and into your body
Then move into guided reflection on the previous week’s module
You’ll have the chance to share your insights, ask questions, and feel supported by other women on a similar journey—while only sharing as much as feels right for you (we see you, introverts).
To bring the concepts to life (and because we f*ckin’ need it these days), we’ll sprinkle in fun, creative exercises (with a touch of improv-style playfulness—no comedy experience required!).
These exercises help you embody what you’ve been reflecting on, deepen your clarity, and make the transformation process feel a little lighter. It’s about experimenting, connecting, and discovering what lights you up in a supportive, encouraging space.
One-on-One Coaching
Two 60 minute individual coaching sessions
Private WhatsApp Community
For accountability, momentum, and processing support, our private WhatsApp group is where you can check in each week to share what’s coming up for you as you complete the module workbooks.
Your coaches Kelly and Megan provide spot coaching any time you need it! Just tag us in your message :)
“I've had so many epiphanies in the past few weeks that it has been life-changing!”
After our session last week, I realized that one of my limiting beliefs is my relationship with how others perceive my brother and me—I would always say that "he got the smarts, and I got the arts —and realized this has been such a limiting factor to our relationship and also how I see myself!

What you’ll learn
What the Funk?! isn’t a venting circle—we take a psychology-informed journey to the root of the funk to understand how we got here, change the stories, and reclaim our own agency once and for all.
WEEK 1
Identify what’s really driving your funk
Looking at the root (not just the symptoms!) and identifying patterns that keep you stuck.
WEEK 2
Why the Funk?!
You’ll learn what your emotions are trying to tell you, how to stop treating them like problems, and how to respond in ways that create relief and clarity.
WEEK 3
Understand triggers + regulate your nervous system
Understanding your funk and teaching your body safety so you can come back to center faster.
WEEK 4
Break the stuck cycle
Catch the pattern, We’ll map the places you feel most stuck, explore what they’ve cost you, and start making moves that bring you back to aliveness, one brave step at a time.
WEEK 5
Rewire the thoughts and beliefs that keep you looping
You’ll learn practical mindset tools (like CBT-style awareness) to spot automatic thoughts, challenge limiting beliefs, and make choices that align with your values and goals.
WEEK 6
Break up with your old stories and learn how to actually feel what you’ve been avoiding
This is the “great unlearning”: you’ll practice loosening the grip of old narratives, and learn how to process emotions somatically (in your body), so your patterns don’t keep hijacking your life from the shadows.
WEEK 7
Create your authentic life: purpose, boundaries, and a self-led identity
You’ll define what fulfillment means for you, reconnect to purpose as a way of being (not a role or title), and learn how to set friendly-but-firm boundaries so you stop leaking energy and start showing up as your real self.
WEEK 8
Stay un-funked: work with resistance, focus your power, and keep moving forward
You’ll leave with tools to stay grounded after the program—knowing what’s in your control, how to meet resistance with curiosity (instead of self-attack), and how to keep choosing aligned action even when fear gets loud
Through guided individual reflection, psychology-based tools, and creative exercises, you’ll:
• Understand the value of your emotions (instead of fighting them)
• Get clear on what’s actually holding you back
• Build practical tools to shift your mindset and energy
• Create a vision for a life that feels aligned—that feels like you
What to Expect
Zero perfection required. Come as you are—confused, anxious, skeptical, whatever.
Play + depth. Yes, we’ll laugh. Yes, we’ll swear. Yes, we’ll go deep.
Practical tools. Journal prompts, daily practices, and mindset shifts you can actually use.
A safe container. This isn’t about “fixing” you. It’s about holding space while you face the hard stuff and come out stronger.
Community. You’re not doing this on your own. We grow faster (and have way more fun) together.
Momentum. No, you won’t self-actualize in 6 weeks (sorry, that’s a lifetime gig). But you will get relief, clarity, and direction faster than you think.
By the end of What the Funk?!, you’ll…
✔ Get crystal clear on your top values and boundaries.
✔ Create a personal purpose statement and a vision for your future that excites you.
✔ Have practical tools to process emotions and handle life’s curveballs.
✔ Understand how mindset + science fuel lasting change (CBT meets manifestation).
✔ Understand yourself on a deeper level — and why you do what you do.
✔ Spot the patterns keeping you stuck — and learn how to evolve them.
✔ Befriend your emotions (yes, even the “bad” ones)
✔ Rewrite the stories you’ve been carrying so they stop running the show.
✔ Find the courage to choose growth — even when fear screams otherwise.
✔ Begin living with more honesty, aliveness, and purpose.
✔ Start building a life that feels fully yours — not who you were told to be.
✔ Walk away with lifelong insights and tools to return to anytime you hit a funk.
Meet your Funky Co-Coaches
We aren’t gurus! We are two friends who, in 2019, found ourselves in our own funks and began chatting weekly to support each other through them. What the Funk?! was born from that experience—Kelly began her earning her MSW and creating the What the Funk?! curriculum, and Megan began her coaching certification and exploring how we could make it an accessible program to people just like you.
Kelly Villmer
Kelly Villmer is a transformational coach with a Master of Social Work (MSW) from UNC Charlotte and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker Associate (LCSWA). With a background in mental health, she’s supported clients experiencing anxiety, relationship challenges, life transitions, and all the messy, beautiful chaos of being human.
After working in private practice, she transitioned from therapy to coaching to bring more creativity, freedom, and fun into the process of transformation. She realized her most authentic way to serve was by following her passion for sharing psychology concepts in a way that really resonates—mixing practical tools with humor, presence, and connection—so she created What the Funk?!
Kelly draws from mindfulness practices, Internal Family Systems (IFS) parts work (she’s currently completing her Level 1 certification), CBT and other evidence-based tools—all blended with her background in improv, stand-up, and sketch comedy.
This program is especially close to her heart. Kelly built it to be what she once wished she had during her own painful search for meaning and purpose: a place to explore life’s big questions without feeling like there’s something wrong with you for being human. She knows her clients are already whole, and part of her work is holding a healed vision of them—lending her hope until they can step into it themselves.
When she’s not coaching, you’ll find Kelly singing loudly (mostly on key), playing with her improv comedy team, Fake Adults, hopping on a plane to cross another spot off her bucket list (lookin’ at you, Iceland), ticking off restaurants on her ridiculously long “Must Try” list, or showing up to any event where costumes are “encouraged.”
With a mix of depth, play, and humor, Kelly creates a space where people can get real, get present, and get unfunked—together.
Megan McCarthy
Megan McCarthy is a career coach and branding specialist based in Barcelona, Spain, who draws on 10 years of corporate brand leadership experience and 9 years of running her own business to help people gain clarity and craft ways of working they truly love. She’s passionate about guiding people to create life-first careers—where work fuels their purpose, joy, and profit, instead of running the show.
With a major lust for wandering, Megan is always planning her next adventure and even spent two years solo backpacking around the world (I mean, how fuckin’ cool is that?) as a digital nomad before that was even a thing. Through years of travel, yoga, and meditation retreats in Southeast Asia, Megan embodies her “harmony over hustle” belief—that work and relationships can be crafted around the life you want, not dictate how you live.
When she’s not coaching, you’ll find her doing yoga on the beach in SPF 75+, exploring new cultures, dabbling in improv comedy, or getting a little too chummy scuba diving with sharks.
Megan is truly the person you want by your side when you’re going through it. Her depth comes not only from her professional expertise but also from her lived experience and the way she consistently shows up—for herself and for others. She has a rare ability to guide with clarity, creativity, and compassion, making the process both supportive and transformative.
She’s the perfect co-coach for What the Funk?!, offering the ideal balance to Kelly’s mental health background with her grounded career wisdom and life-first strategy. With Megan by your side, you can expect inspiration, creativity, and just the right dose of daring to help you shake off the funk and step into something bigger.
