Take a fully funded leave from your business.
1:1 leave planning for self employed business owners in Colorado. I get you enrolled in FAMLI, find the right private coverage, help you keep your clients, and plan every week of your leave with you.
I review every application personally and reply within two business days.
*12 weeks at the maximum weekly benefit of $1,448.02 for claims starting on or after July 1, 2026. Your benefit depends on your income. Not guaranteed figures.
Here's what your leave looks like when it's planned.
- FAMLI deposits land in your account every week you're on leave.
- You know your number. Every dollar coming in during leave is mapped out before you go.
- Your clients know the plan, and they are staying on while you're out.
- Your business runs on systems and support you set up months ago.
- Nobody needs you to log in while you're out.
- You come back to a business in better shape than when you left.
You know Colorado pays business owners for leave. You don't know how to get it.
Most self employed business owners I talk to have heard of FAMLI. Very few are enrolled. The program was written for employees, and the rules for business owners are easy to miss.
Then there's everything FAMLI doesn't touch. Who answers your clients. What happens to your retainers. How you pay yourself in month four.
- Opt inNobody enrolls you. If you do nothing, you aren't covered.
- 3 yearsOpting in means paying premiums for at least three years.
- 1 quarterYou pay a full quarter of premiums before you can collect.
- TimingMost private disability policies have to be in place long before your leave starts.
The Colorado Leave Plan
A 1:1 planning program with me, a Colorado FAMLI Certified maternity leave strategist trained by the state's FAMLI Division. Together we build a leave that's paid for, covered, and planned down to the week.
You leave with a written plan for your money, your clients, your business, and your return.

Aly set us up so well to be successful while I was on maternity leave. I took four months off and we had our biggest revenue day to date while I was out!!
I was so stressed thinking about maternity leave and after only a month in this program I have never been so excited about a transitional period in my business.
I just raised my rates and the cost is not keeping my clients from returning
They’re getting on my calendar!!
I’m feeling relieved and way more confident!!!!
Without your program I wouldn’t have been able to drop everything when it mattered most
Because of you, my business hasn’t missed a beat through all of this. Saying thank you doesn’t feel like enough.
I booked two VIP days after our last call and the tips you gave me!!
Thank you so much, Aly!!
I’m feeling so much more confident this time around after our call!
The tools you gave me changed my business
I have so much more confidence going into my second leave!
The Colorado Leave Plan is for you if...
Sole props, single member LLCs, S Corps, and freelancers can all opt in to FAMLI.
- You live and work in Colorado and run your own business.
- You plan to take a leave from your business in the next year or two.
- You want every dollar of paid leave you're eligible for.
- Your clients count on you, and you want to keep them through leave.
- You're ready to make decisions now instead of the month before your leave.
My goal is for every client I work with to get back more in benefits or time with her family than she invests in working with me.
You'll leave with a funded plan for every week of your leave and the confidence that comes with having everything in order.
Everything your leave needs.
I work on your leave with you
For ten weeks I'm building your plan alongside you. I call the state, help with your FAMLI paperwork, confirm your premiums are in place, and pull every piece of your leave together so nothing falls through the cracks.
FAMLI enrollment and paperwork
I get you opted in, handle the calls to the state, confirm your premiums, and time your leave so you collect the full benefit.
Insurance review
We look at short term disability and other private coverage to see where it can extend or increase your income during leave.
Your leave budget
A week by week cash plan that maps FAMLI, insurance, savings, and the revenue that keeps coming in.
Revenue plan
Where your income comes from before, during, and after leave, so your business keeps earning while you're home.
Client continuity plan
Which clients stay, who serves them while you're out, and what you tell them and when.
Coverage while you're out
Team support if you have one, plus the SOPs and automations that keep the work moving without you.
10 weeks of 1:1 planning with me
Two 2 hour planning sessions, FAMLI enrollment, your financial plan, and every other piece of your leave.
$10,000 in income replacement in 10 weeks, or you don't pay.
If we haven't found at least $10,000 in income replacement for your leave by the end of our 10 weeks together, you get your money back.

Questions
Can I get FAMLI if I'm self employed?
Yes. You opt in yourself through the My FAMLI+ Employer portal. If you live and work in Colorado and run your own business, you can elect coverage, whether you're a 1099 freelancer or an S Corp owner.
My leave starts soon. Is it too late?
Usually not. FAMLI needs one full paid quarter before you can collect, so the sooner you opt in, the more of your leave it can cover. Some private coverage has to be in place early, but your budget, client plan, and systems all still come together in time. Apply and tell me when your leave starts. I'll tell you exactly what's still possible.
My leave is a year or more away. Is it too early?
No. This is the best time to start. You can opt in to FAMLI and put private coverage in place while every option is still open.
Do I need employees to work with you?
No. Most of my clients run their business solo or with a small team. If you do have employees, we plan their coverage too.
What happens after I apply?
I review every application personally. If it looks like a fit, you'll get a link to book a free call with me within two business days. If we're both a yes, we book your first planning session.
I don't live in Colorado. Can you still help?
This program is built around Colorado FAMLI. If you're in another state, start with Planned.
