If we haven’t met yet, my name is Margaretha Montagu. I’m a retired medical doctor living in the sun-soaked (mostly) southwest of France, where I host unique Camino de Santiago walking retreats. I’m also the creator of the Best Is Yet To Come Challenges.
AI has revolutionised online learning in ways we could never have imagined. These days, you can ask AI to whip up a course on absolutely anything—from astrophysics to how to keep your houseplants alive—and it will hand it to you in seconds. The smarter your prompting skills, the slicker your course.
AI-generated courses are now popping up everywhere, at every price point imaginable.
So then… why am I still selling my courses?
Because I can offer you something more:
I don’t just hand you information—I walk with you through it. From the beginning to the end. I hold you accountable. And then I help you implement what you have learned. Fast.
When you enrol in one of my challenges, you add coaching conversations as and when you need them: structured, supportive, and designed to help you turn information into transformation—helping you apply the lessons you’re learning, stay motivated, and actually make permanent changes.

- How to Cope in a Crisis – Avoid making decisions you might later regret
