- February: Die for Me, A Chapter for Knowing Your Worth

Part Two: Voice (April to June) Once we know who we want to become, we tell the truth about who we are, say it out loud, and let ourselves be seen.
- April: The Revelation of Dionne Daphne, A Chapter for Telling the Truth
- May: Daggermouth, A Chapter for Speaking Up
- June: Seven Days in June, A Chapter for Being Seen

- July: Leave Your Mess at Home, A Chapter for Letting Go
- August: Sweet Heat, A Chapter for Wanting More
- September: The Secret World of Maggie Grey, A Chapter for Remembering Our Roots
