Elisa Planellas
Creator of The 8-Phase Framework
“I built this for people like you — people who care about doing business with heart, depth, and direction. There’s power in slowing down just long enough to hear yourself again. Doing meaningful work deserves meaningful support.
Everything changes when you stop building from pressure and start building from the ground you’ve already earned. The shift isn’t speed — it’s source. Let’s build from that.”
What It Means to Be a Practitioner of the 8-Phase Framework
This is a framework for people who care deeply about how they show up in their work. It’s for those who want a business that reflects both their vision and their values — and who believe clarity, alignment, and purpose should be baked into the way they grow.
Practicing the 8-Phase Framework means choosing a systematic, phase-based approach to the evolution of you and your business — one that nurtures sustainable growth, strategic refinement, and personal fulfillment.
The 8-Phase Framework draws its structure from EMDR — a psychotherapy method known for helping people process trauma through a structured, eight-phase approach. And while its roots are clinical, the underlying structure has profound applications beyond therapy. When adapted for purpose-driven entrepreneurs and businesses, these phases offer more than insight — they create movement. They help practitioners clarify what matters, take aligned action, and build from the inside out.
The 8-Phase Hub is where this work deepens. It’s not just a place to reference ideas — it’s a place to study, reflect, and engage with each phase intentionally.
Whether you’re seeking sharper direction, more meaningful messaging, or a clearer internal compass, the Hub provides structure and guidance for those committed to implementing and integrating the 8-Phase Framework into the way they work.
The Alignment That Makes Change Work
Change isn’t the exception — it’s the constant. Especially in business. Things shift, evolve, unravel, and rebuild. The point isn’t to avoid change. It’s to move through it with clarity, with intention, and with enough self-awareness to know what’s working and what isn’t. Practicing the 8-Phase Framework means being willing to see clearly, decide confidently, and lead from within.
The moments that change everything often happen beneath the surface. It might be something you finally name. Something you admit isn’t working. A pattern you pause long enough to see clearly. This isn’t extra — it’s essential. These are the internal shifts that lead to real, grounded decisions. And in the Hub, this kind of work isn’t hidden in the background — it’s central to the process, and it’s fully supported.
Framework practitioners understand that aligned decisions come from deeper places. The Hub isn’t where you prove what you know. It’s where you connect the internal shifts to the external moves — and let the unseen parts of your process carry real weight.
Reflection Is Forward Motion
Reflection is recognized across disciplines — from mental health to leadership — as one of the most effective tools for clarity, growth, and resilience. It’s where insight becomes integration. In therapy, it helps us notice patterns. In mindfulness, it helps us return to ourselves. In business, it helps us make smarter, more aligned decisions. It’s not always about what you know — it’s about how you see. Reflection sharpens your lens. It makes your work more intentional, your choices more connected, and your outcomes more meaningful.
But just like building a meditation habit or strengthening a muscle, reflection takes support. It’s easy to avoid or overcomplicate. The 8-Phase Framework makes it approachable and actionable by showing you exactly what to reflect on at each stage of the process. The Hub is where that reflection becomes real — not just in theory, but in practice. It gives you a space to pause with purpose, come back to what matters, and make decisions from a place of clarity, not chaos.
This is where so much of your power lives — in your ability to look inward with structure, direction, and trust. The more you engage with it, the more momentum you create. Reflection doesn’t slow you down. It aligns you with what actually moves you forward.
This Work Is Cyclical — Because You Are
Progress isn’t linear — not in healing, not in leadership, not in business. Anyone who’s ever revisited a familiar challenge with new perspective knows this. Evolution happens in layers. You loop back, but you’re never in the same place twice. And that’s the power of a cyclical framework: it doesn’t assume you’ll get it all right the first time. It trusts that each return brings you deeper — into clarity, into conviction, into the work that really fits.
The 8-Phase Framework is built to support that kind of movement. Each phase gives you a specific place to land, a structure to reflect through, and questions that reveal what’s next. You’re not left wandering. You’re held by something that knows how people — and businesses — really grow.
In the Hub, cycling back isn’t something you apologize for. It’s something you honor. Because the more you revisit, the more refined you become. Not by repeating the same answers — but by asking better questions. And over time, that’s what makes your clarity stronger, your decisions easier, and your business unmistakably yours.
It’s Not Just a Framework. It’s a Way of Working
Most business tools focus on tactics — what to post, what to sell, how to scale. This one asks better questions. The 8-Phase Framework isn’t about forcing your work into someone else’s system. It’s about shaping your strategy from the inside out, using a process that respects the complexity of what you’re building — and who you are while building it.
This is a way of working that supports depth and direction at the same time. A rhythm that lets you stay rooted without losing momentum. A structure that helps you refine what matters most — not just once, but again and again as your vision sharpens.
The Hub is where that rhythm takes form. It’s where you apply the framework in real time, return to it when things shift, and stay connected to a way of working that grows with you. This isn’t about chasing outcomes. It’s about building something you can stand behind — with clarity, with confidence, and with a process that holds up as you do.
To practice the 8-Phase Framework is to build from alignment, not urgency. To move from depth, not default. It’s a different rhythm. A different standard. And it’s available to anyone willing to come back to the work — not with performance, but with presence.
This is what it means to practice. This is what the Hub was built for.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to be an expert in the 8-Phase Framework to join the Hub?
Not at all. The Hub is designed to support both newcomers and returning practitioners. Whether you’re just starting to explore the phases or you’re deep in your second or third cycle, the Hub gives you structured guidance and insight to meet you exactly where you are.
Is this a course or a membership?
It’s a membership — but not your typical content dump. The Hub is a living, evolving space organized by phase and designed for real-time interaction. You can explore at your own pace, revisit what matters most, join or start conversations, and interact with content as you practice implementation.
Is this a community?
Not in the traditional sense — and that’s intentional. The Hub is interactive, but it’s not a forum or social feed. You can comment and engage inside the framework itself, learning from the insights and experiences of others without the noise or pressure of a community platform.
What’s the difference between the 8-Phase Framework and the 8-Phase Hub?
The framework is the method — the structure that guides how you move through change, gain clarity, and take aligned action. The Hub is where you put it into practice. It’s the implementation space: the how, the when, the now.
What makes this different from other strategy or mindset platforms?
It’s not just about what you do — it’s about how you move. The 8-Phase Hub brings structure to your inner clarity and turns it into outer direction. You’re not just thinking differently. You’re practicing differently. And that shows up everywhere.
Is the Hub self-paced?
Yes — and more than that, it’s self-directed. At times, we do have events and discussions that focus on a particular phase or move through the phases within a set time. You may join us in these explorations, but you are always free to work at your own pace.
As a member of The Hub, you’re not following someone else’s timeline. You’re tuning into your own. The Hub is structured to support re-entry, non-linear exploration, and real-time decision-making, whenever you need it.
Is there a start or end date?
Nope. This isn’t a cohort or a launch-based program. The Hub is always open and always evolving. You can join anytime and engage at whatever pace fits your season, your energy, and your goals. We have both monthly and annual membership options available. Stay as long as you like or cancel when you choose.
How will I access the Hub?
The 8-Phase Hub is hosted on Confluence — a beautifully organized, easy-to-navigate digital workspace. Once you join, you’ll get a personal login so you can access it. No special software or tech skills required.
The 8-Phase Framework Is More Than a Model. It’s a Mindset.
It’s not about doing more — it’s about doing what matters in a way that actually feels good.
