‘The Best Is Yet To Come’ Challenges

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 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 are my courses still selling?

Simple: I don’t just hand you information—I walk with you through it. From the beginning to the end.

Most of us (yes, including me) have a digital graveyard of half-finished courses gathering virtual dust.

I recently did a bit of market research and found out that although more and more people are using AI instead of subscribing to online courses, most people still prefer a real person to support them as they work through a course and especially someone to hold them accountable and to help them implement what they have learned.

Which is exactly what I most enjoy doing.

So I rename my courses CHALLENGES.

When you enrol in one of my challenges, you can add as many coaching conversations as you need: structured, supportive, and designed to help you turn information into transformation. Think of them as your personalised guideposts—helping you apply the lessons you’re learning, stay motivated, and actually reach the finish line.

Sometimes you need more than just content—you need someone in your corner.

These challenges form the backbone of my Radical Renaissance Program, but are also available individually.

My online course ecosystem is based on my challenges, which used to be called the Post-Crisis ReConstruction Protocols. It offers a proven, step-by-step pathway that takes you from feeling overwhelmed and disoriented to confidently creating a life rich in purpose, meaning, and fulfilment – starting with the Survive the Storm Challenge and culminating in the Firm Foundations for Your Future Challenge.

Unique Approach

I’m a writer (8 books so far), so it is probably not surprising that I use storytelling and narrative writing as a training method. My online challenges reflect this unique and undeniably caring approach.

Because I DO care. I do not just want to sell you a challenge. I want you to finish it and integrate the information it contains into your life.

Imagine facing your most challenging moments as the crucible in which your new identity is forged. My courses can change a setback into a stepping stone, every hardship along the way a lesson in resilience. This is your chance to redefine who you are – not incrementally, but in a seismic shift– by learning from other people’s stories and by rewriting your own.

This unique approach will empower you to:

  • Rewrite Your Past: It’s about rejecting the limitations imposed by past “failures.” Here, you rewrite your story with from a different perspective.
  • Dramatically Increase Your Resilience: Your struggles are not scars of defeat; they are the foundation stones of your future. Through intentional self-discovery, you learn to harness adversity as fuel for growth.
  • Start a New Chapter: You will dismantle outdated beliefs, set firm boundaries, safeguard yourself against burnout and rebuild your identity with purpose, passion, and a relentless drive for excellence.

A Step-by-Step Process

When life has knocked you down, these challenges can gently but powerfully help you transform overwhelming life changes into a renewed, purposeful, and fulfilling future—but the transformation isn’t always linear. You don’t have to start at the beginning. Whether you’re in the middle of a major life upheaval, seeking a renewed sense of purpose, or ready to build your legacy, you can start with the challenge that aligns with where you are right now.

Each challenge is powerful and empowering on its own, but the effect is most remarkable when they are taken in sequence:
