Our Programs
A 26-Week Journey from Survival to Self-Sufficiency
Most programs stop at motivation. We stay for 26 weeks — building the skills, community, and inner strength that create change that actually lasts.
Our Three-Phase Model: A Structured Path to Lasting Change
The Magnolia Project’s program is not a class. It is not a referral to another resource. It is a structured, trauma-informed, 26-week pathway that walks women from crisis to lasting stability — and a capstone retreat that marks the moment they’ve arrived.
We serve women who have survived domestic violence, addiction, poverty, and long-term instability. Women who are motivated, ready, and done with just surviving.
Everything we do is free for participants.
PHASE ONE WEEKS 1–13
Foundation for the Future
In-person. Cohort-based. Weekly sessions in Kingsport and Johnson City.
Thirteen weeks of in-person community where women build the groundwork for everything that comes next. Financial awareness. Career readiness. Boundaries and communication. Goal setting and identity rebuilding. A Dream Fair. A graduation.
This is where you discover what you’re capable of surrounded by women who are doing the same.
PHASE TWO WEEKS 14–26
Magnolia Momentum
Virtual. Three courses. Where foundation becomes mastery.
After Foundation, the deeper work begins — from wherever you are. Three sequential courses in Financial Power, Trauma Integration & Emotional Mastery, and Self-Leadership & Life Design. Each one builds on the last. Each one changes something real.
This is where you stop surviving your life and start designing it.
AFTER WEEK 26 CAPSTONE MILESTONE
GLOWE Summit: The Homecoming
In-person. Outdoor camp. 3 days that prove 26 weeks of work.
The retreat is not a reward. It is a reckoning with who you’ve become. Team challenges. An integration workshop. A Celebration Dinner. A Homecoming Declaration Ceremony where you stand before your community and speak the truth of who you are.
You will leave knowing you did not just complete a program. You transformed.

“The most powerful part for me has been learning to believe in myself and never give up. I don’t know if you realize it or not but the class about interviews came right before the interview for my promotion that is changing my life. You ladies gave me the confidence to go for it and not be afraid to take pride in the things I am good at, and never stop working on my shortcomings – but be proud EVERY step of the way!”
