Unguarded · Founding cohort

Take Unguarded free, before it opens to the public.

Unguarded is a six-week online course on real confidence in social situations, relationships and dating. It opens publicly in January 2027.

Before then, a small founding cohort gets the full course free from November, in exchange for honest, structured feedback.

The course

The gap between who you are and how you come across.

You know you're capable. You know what you'd like to say. Then the moment arrives, a date, a new group, someone you want to impress, and something else takes over.

Part of your attention starts watching yourself. A voice tells you how it's going. Next time, it feels easier not to go at all.

Unguarded explains what's actually happening in your mind and nervous system in those moments, and gives you practical tools to change it. It draws on psychology and neuroscience, and it's built around practice, not theory.

The founding cohort

What you get, and what we ask.

What you get

  • The complete six-week course, free. It will be £197 at public launch.
  • The Unguarded evidence journal.
  • Access from November, two months before anyone else.
  • A direct say in how the course is shaped.

What we ask

  • Watch each week's lessons and try the practice.
  • Work through at least the first three modules.
  • Tell us three things at the end: what landed, what changed, and what was unclear.
  • Be honest. Critical feedback is as useful as praise.
