Find your strength.
Begin your rise.

Life doesn’t stop when everything falls apart —and neither do you.

Motion to Rise is a trauma-informed space that helps women and legal teams stabilize during high-conflict chaos through grounded coaching, nervous-system education, and evidence-based strategy.

When you’re overwhelmed, uncertain, or exhausted from holding it all together…

you don’t have to move through it alone.

Life Changes— and it gets hard.

Life shifts abruptly.

It gets messy, unpredictable, and sometimes defeating.

Maybe you’re ending a relationship that no longer feels safe.

Maybe a high-conflict divorce has taken over your life.

Maybe your body isn’t cooperating the way it used to.

Maybe anxiety or burnout are keeping you from doing what matters most.

Maybe you’re just tired of being strong because you had no other choice.

Whatever brought you here — Motion to Rise exists for the in-between moments when everything feels uncertain but staying stuck isn’t an option.

Strength isn’t found.

It’s built — slowly, painfully, bravely.

Every climb. Every reset. Every rise.

These images are the backbone of Motion to Rise — reminders that resilience grows from repetition, not perfection.

What Guides Our Work

Image

Expert Guidance You Can Trust

You’ll receive psychologically informed, evidence-based coaching grounded in nervous system science, trauma frameworks, and decades of clinical and real-world experience.

Image

A Safe & Supportive Community

Progress only happens when your system feels safe.

You’ll find steady direction — not pressure, judgment, or surface-level positivity.

Image

Regulation Before Reaction

Real change starts when your body feels safe enough to move.

We will teach you the tools before you take your first step.

Strength Isn’t What You Think

We don’t teach willpower.

We don’t teach positivity.

We don’t ask you to “just try harder.”

We teach you to stay regulated when life doesn’t cooperate.

We teach you how to communicate without escalation.

We teach you how to stop internalizing chaos that isn’t yours.

We teach you how to rediscover your voice, your clarity, and your power.

We teach you the skills to stand up — in life, in relationships, and in courtrooms.

We teach you to RISE.

✔ Lower risk of client escalation or bar complaints

Your legal team works best when your clients are regulated, prepared, and supported.

Meet the Woman Behind Motion to Rise

I’m Stacy Bednar — psychotherapist, coach, and high-conflict strategist.

For over two decades, I’ve helped women navigate the hardest moments of their lives — divorce, illness, trauma, chronic overwhelm, identity loss, and the long slow rebuild that follows.

Today, my work sits at the intersection of trauma psychology and high-conflict divorce.

I help women steady themselves and I help legal teams support their clients with clarity, emotional safety, and strategic direction.

I don’t offer quick fixes.

I offer grounded support, structured tools, and an invitation to move forward with steadiness — one step at a time.

You don’t have to do this alone.

Let’s steady your next step — then build from there.
