Discover the hidden forces behind your choices, and build a life you love from the roots up.
The Root-to-Rise online course is a step-by-step path to strengthen the roots of your life and rise toward a purpose you choose.
Beneath every decision you make are six human needs, quietly steering where your life goes. Most people never see them. This course helps you see yours, understand how they shape each area of your life, and start choosing on purpose, one root at a time.
What were you going to be when you grew up?
Maybe you got there. Maybe you built something good: a career, a family, a life that looks successful from the outside. And still, there's a quieter conversation happening on the inside.
You hit a goal you worked toward for years, and the feeling you expected didn't come. Or it came and left faster than you thought. You keep saying yes to things that don't light you up anymore. You've read the books and done the work, and the same patterns keep showing up anyway.
Maybe you're in an in-between season, and you're quietly asking, Is this still the life I want?
That feeling isn't a sign that something is wrong with you. It's not failure. It's feedback. Something beneath the surface is asking for your attention.
You don't need to start over. You need to understand what's changing underneath.
What Root-to-Rise is
We expect the rise without the roots. But the root work is where the magic happens.
A tree doesn't rise because someone pulls on its branches. It rises because of what's happening underground: the roots, the soil, what's feeding it, and what's quietly running on empty. People are the same.
Root-to-Rise starts beneath the surface, with the five roots of your life: Health, Family, Relationships, Career, and Friends. They aren't a ranking. They're one living system, and when one root is thirsty, the whole tree feels it.
The soil that feeds those roots is your six human needs: Security, Variety, Self, Intimacy, Growth, and Transcendence. These are the hidden forces. When you can see how you're meeting them, in healthy ways or low-level ones, you can start choosing on purpose instead of by default.
Root-to-Rise brings together human needs psychology, nature-based wisdom, and yoga philosophy into one practical framework. It's open to everyone, whatever your age, background, or beliefs.
What's inside
Part 1: Roots
- Your human needs. Short video lessons on each of the six needs, their light and shadow sides, and how to spot the one that's driving you.
- Your root system. Rate each of your five roots, find the one that needs you most, and connect to your taproot: the value that steadies you when life gets hard.
- Clearing obstacles. Break the patterns that meet your needs at a low level. Work through fears, limiting beliefs, and double binds, and learn how to get unstuck.
Part 2: Rise
Once your foundation is strong, you'll connect with a higher purpose you choose, and build a realistic, powerful vision for your life and legacy. Part 2 is included in this bundle.

Who it's for
Root-to-Rise is for you if:
- You've achieved a lot and still wonder, "Why isn't this enough?"
- You have a hard time saying no, and your own needs keep landing last
- You're juggling competing priorities and aren't sure where to focus
- You're in a season of change and want to choose your next chapter on purpose
- You know a lot about personal growth and want something you can actually use
It's not for you if you're looking for a quick fix, or for someone else to do the work for you. I can't want this more than you do. You don't have to be ready. You just have to be willing.
Root-to-Rise is a coaching framework, not therapy. If you're in crisis or need clinical support, please reach out to a licensed professional.
What Root-to-Risers say
“It was profound. This is really powerful work! There’s so much juicy information in this that allows us to really understand where we’re putting energy in our lives, where we have developed roots, and where we have blockages. The coursework allows us to dig in and see where these blockages are stemming from, and how we can address them to rise to our greatest potential.” Maria Poole, National Director of Training at Topix Pharmaceuticals

Hi, I'm Chandra Lynn. I help people love life, even when it's messy, hard, and uncertain.
My grandparents were psychologists, and I grew up in a family where it was okay to talk about feelings. I thought I might follow them into psychology. Instead, I earned my MBA at 24 and spent more than 25 years in music and tech marketing, including building my own agency, Glow Marketing.
I loved it. And still, something was missing. I began training as a coach with the Robbins-Madanes Center for Strategic Intervention in 2011 and earned my certification in 2014. I built Root-to-Rise first for myself, then for my coaching clients and workshops. After years of refining it, I wrote the book.
Today I'm a Certified Transformation Coach, a bestselling author, and the creator of the Root-to-Rise® System for Loving Life. Root-to-Rise: How to Love Life is a Gold Medal winner in the 2026 Readers' Favorite International Book Awards (Non-Fiction – Motivational).
Want the deepest version?
The course pairs beautifully with my book, Root-to-Rise: How to Love Life, and its companion workbook.
