The Practice of Becoming
A Soul-Centered Framework for Reclaiming Strength, Balance, and Self
Developed by My Sister’s Keeper-Cleveland, The Practice of Becoming is a healing-centered journey for those navigating life after cancer, trauma, or personal transformation. Whether you are just starting or deep in your process, this is your space — a space for becoming more of who you are now.
What Is It?
Not a race. Not a challenge. Not a checklist.
The Practice of Becoming is a guided path to healing that meets you exactly where you are. Built on 8 transformational pillars, it offers tools, milestones, and community support to help you reclaim wholeness — mind, body, and spirit.
Who It’s For
-
Women impacted by cancer and other life-disrupting experiences
-
Caregivers, survivors, and those seeking identity after trauma
-
Anyone ready to grow through — not around — their healing
-
Organizations interested in using or licensing the framework
​
“You are not becoming who you were before. You are becoming even more of who you are now.”
How It Works
8 Pillars. 1 Balanced Barbell.
You’ll explore and earn symbolic “weights” across the 8 pillars of healing:
Title | Focus | Color |
|---|---|---|
Healing | Emotional Wellness | Lavender |
Strength | Physical Resilience | Black |
Stability | Financial Empowerment | Grey |
Advocacy | Health Knowledge & Voice | Black |
Faith | Spiritual Grounding | Lavender |
Sisterhood | Community & Belonging | Pink |
Identity | Self-Discovery | Pink |
Acceptance | Integration & Peace | Grey |
Each time you complete a set of milestones under a pillar, you earn a symbolic weight — a visual sign of the strength you’ve reclaimed. When you’ve earned all eight, you’ll be honored at the Balanced Barbell Ceremony.
