When one life tank runs low, you feel it everywhere

Stress at work shows up at home. Grief affects the immune system. Financial concerns disrupt your sleep. Life is not lived in separate boxes. You are one person made up of many interconnected systems.

What is Self-Care Mastery?

Self-care is the ongoing practice of making intentional choices that protect, maintain, and improve your overall well-being.

Self-Care Mastery is a comprehensive, values-based framework for developing the awareness, habits, boundaries, and practical life systems necessary to manage ourselves and our responsibilities effectively across all eight dimensions of wellness.

The distinction: Self-care is what we practice. Self-Care Mastery is the framework that helps us practice it consistently, intentionally, and sustainably.

TRUEDEN looks at the whole of your life as eight connected Life Systems. Inside our courses, we call them your Life Tanks. When one is depleted, it affects the whole. When one is replenished, it strengthens all.

How each week works

One lesson. One group. One step at a time.

Each life tank is a 12-week course, supported each week by a live online group led by Marsha. You are not alone.

1
ListenA new lesson opens each week: a true story, the teaching and a closing thought from Marsha, in one audio recording. Prefer to read? Every lesson has a transcript.
2
ReflectYour fillable Participant Guide walks you through reflection questions, three homework options and a Go Deeper list of books, research and films.
3
GatherJoin Marsha and a small group in the weekly live online support group. Share as much or as little as you like.
4
GrowShort self-assessments show where you started and how far you have come.

One new lesson opens each week, and each lesson unlocks when you finish the one before it, so if life gets busy, your lessons wait for you. Your 12 group weeks run consecutively from your course start date, and you keep your course for 12 months.

Weekly groups meet online on Tuesdays, 6:30 to 7:30 pm, or Wednesdays, 12:00 to 1:00 pm Central. A third group will open once the first two are full.

Meet Marsha

Hi, I am Marsha.

Marsha A. Johnson, MA, CISM, HNC, CFNC · Founder of TRUEDEN

TRUEDEN is more than 20 years of my life's work, education and lived experience, both personal and professional, brought together in one place.

The TRUEDEN Self-Care Mastery Model weaves emotional wellness, functional health and nutrition into a practical framework that helps you build healthy habits, regulate stress, strengthen self-worth and create a meaningful, well-managed life.

Self-worth is knowing your value and honoring who you are.

Self-competence is building your abilities through practice, so your confidence rests on proof, not hope.

Together, they develop The Self: your authentic self, living in alignment with your core beliefs and values.

When I am not writing or leading a group, you will find me in my garden, waiting on the bees, with my Yorkie, Regi Biscuit, close by.
