For women in the period after.
"I am the founder of a room I also belong in."
The role ended. The diary cleared. The calls stopped.
What didn't stop: the thinking, the judgment, the sense that there is still something to do. Just not yet clear what, or where.
Still Running Rooms exists for that period. Not to accelerate it. Not to fix it. To give it structure, so it doesn't become drift.

This was not written from theory. It was written from a sofa, a few weeks after an executive role ended.
Five stages. Written in one woman's voice, worked through in yours.
"I believe it is highly relevant. I will print it and look at it again and again as my situation changes."
Helle (Copenhagen)
"I love how this workbook takes you on a journey of self-discovery, acknowledging the work that has been done and the crossroads you find yourself at."
Tanya (Oamaru)
"A workbook that fits your rhythm. Pick it up, put it down, and continue when the time is right."
Vera (Den Bosch)
A private room. Small by design. For women who've left senior roles but aren't done.
The conversations go where most professional rooms don't bother: identity after role-loss, selective ambition, freedom that doesn't quite feel like freedom yet, what actually deserves your energy now.
If that lands, you'll know.
If the room interests you, write to me directly: astrid@stillrunningrooms.com

After decades of targets and teams, there is finally room to think.
This is not reinvention. Not starting over. It's deciding, with everything you now know, what comes next.
The structure is gone. The thinking isn't.
I spent most of my career building, leading, and deciding inside structures that held my identity.
Still Running Rooms is for women who have led, built, exited, or left a defined role and find themselves in the period after. Some felt the loss immediately. Others felt free, finally. The experience differs. The need is the same: this period is a piece of work, and it goes better with structure around it.
Not coaching. Not a community. A set of rooms and a workbook for women who know how to work and want to think properly about what comes next.
