Have a Question?Clarity That Feels Like Relief
Consistency Without Burnout
Calm & Grounded Confidence
Do You Feel...
- Like you know what to do in theory, but are lacking a simple, doable way to execute without burning out?
- Like you’re juggling a hundred things, yet your personal goals keep slipping to the bottom of the list?
- Doing homework, dinner, dishes, baths, bedtime, then opening your laptop at 10pm because there’s still more to do?
- You appreciate your job, but deep down you know you’re meant for more — but you just can’t find the time or clarity to make it happen?
You’re not alone. I’ve been there too, running on empty, trying to “do it all,” and wondering why things weren’t changing.
What If
- You had one clear, money-moving action to take each weekday—no guesswork, no overwhelm?
-
You could be fully present with your family and still make measurable progress toward your goals?
-
You built self-trust by finishing what you start—week after week—until your results became undeniable?
- You had the tools, the framework and discipline to rinse and repeat every 8 weeks. Where would you be one full year from today if you accomplished one meaningful goal every 8 weeks? What would that look like for your personal growth, your finances and your most meaningful relationships?
You Really Can Have It All — When You Move With Intention
You can have a career you love, be an intentional parent, nurture a healthy and joyful marriage, make time for yourself, and still pursue projects that light you up.
The myth is that you have to sacrifice one area to succeed in another. The truth is — you just need to focus on what truly matters.
With Next8™, I teach you how to do exactly that — using a mix of strategic law of attraction and intentional action.
It’s not about doing more; it’s about doing what moves the needle.
Most people spend 80% of their energy on things that don’t create results and wonder why they’re stuck.
I help you focus on the powerful 20% — the thoughts, habits, and actions that create real transformation.
The only thing you will need to say no to are relationships, projects, and distractions that drain your energy, and say yes to what aligns with your purpose.
Because when your mind, time, and actions work in harmony, that’s when manifestation becomes strategy.
What if You Had a Proven System to Create Results in Every Area of Your Life?
Imagine having a framework that helps you move from overwhelm to alignment — one intentional action at a time.
That’s what Next8™ gives you: an 8-week system built on strategic law of attraction, focused execution, and mindset mastery.
Each week, I coach you live, walking you through how to identify what truly moves the needle in your life and business.
You’ll learn how to align your thoughts, actions, and routines so manifestation becomes measurable progress.
It’s not just theory. It’s structure, accountability, and transformation in real time.
By the end of eight weeks, you’ll have clarity, focus, and a repeatable system you can apply to any goal.

What my clients are saying
Real women. Real transformation. Each week, they’re building discipline, clarity, and confidence — proving what’s possible when you align intention with action.
Melissa J.
"I’d never heard the word intentional used the way Iris teaches it.
As a single mom, I was constantly running on fumes, trying to be everything to everyone. Through Next8™, I learned how to focus my energy where it matters most. I stopped feeling guilty for slowing down, started saying no without shame, and finally began showing up as the kind of mother I want my kids to remember, calm, centered, and present."
Carla M.
"I always thought I had to choose — motherhood or my dream business.
Before working with Iris, I believed balance didn’t exist. But using her framework, I learned how to build systems that actually support my life. I launched my business without letting my family or myself fall to the bottom of the list. I feel more peaceful, organized, and confident than ever — and my home and marriage feel that shift, too."
Danielle R.
"I didn’t think I could grow a business and keep my 9-to-5 — Iris proved me wrong. I used to think it had to be all or nothing. But Iris helped me create a plan that aligned with both my career and my goals. I’ve built consistent habits, set boundaries at work, and my evenings are calmer than ever. I’m no longer running on empty — I’m running on purpose."
A look at the modules inside our program
Clarity, Goal Selection & Backlog Planning
Clarity creates momentum
You’ll get crystal clear on your most important goal for the next eight weeks and design your personal roadmap to achieve it. Through guided intention-setting, visualization, and structured planning, you’ll identify what truly matters — and remove distractions that don’t.
Manifestation meets strategy: you’ll learn to visualize success while organizing every step that will get you there.
Systems & Momentum
Structure creates freedom
Once you know your goal, it’s time to build the systems that support it. You’ll learn how to set up daily habits, design your environment for success, and create rhythms that make progress effortless. Using tools like the Pomodoro Technique and habit stacking, you’ll experience what it feels like to take action without overwhelm.
Manifestation meets strategy: you’ll begin “acting as if” — moving like the version of you who’s already achieved it.
Consistency & Focus
Progress over perfection
This is where the magic happens, where your mindset, systems, and actions align. You’ll strengthen your follow-through, adjust with grace, and reconnect with your “why” whenever motivation dips. You’ll also learn how to stay emotionally aligned with your goal, keeping faith and focus alive even when life gets busy.
Manifestation meets strategy: alignment replaces burnout as you embody the habits, energy, and discipline of your future self.
Program Investment
Move Your Life Forward
You Are Worth It
The best investment you can ever make is in yourself. When you join Next8™, you’re not just buying a program, you’re committing to your next level.
Over the next eight weeks, you’ll learn how to think strategically, act intentionally, and follow through consistently — the same skills that transform not only your business, but your mindset, relationships, and everyday life.
Because when you grow, everything around you grows too.
You deserve to pour into yourself the same way you pour into everyone else. You’ve spent years showing up for work, family, and others — now it’s time to show up for you.
Next8™ is more than an investment; it’s a declaration that your goals, dreams, and well-being matter.
The clarity, focus, and confidence you gain here will continue to pay dividends long after the eight weeks are over.
Because when you invest in yourself, you don’t just change your life — you elevate everyone and everything around you.

Meet Your Coach!
Iris Medina-Elston, MPA, MBA, JD (in progress) — Founder of Next8™ & Carter Wade
I’ve spent over a decade in operations and strategy, helping businesses become more efficient by implementing systems, processes, and leadership frameworks that drive measurable results. I’ve coached and led teams, built thriving brands, and launched a investor-backed business.
So when I teach about structure, performance, OKRs, and growth, I have real skin in the game.
Business is truly my love language. But beyond strategy and systems, I’m passionate about helping women — especially working moms — create balance, clarity, and purpose in their lives.
In 2020, as the world was navigating the uncertainty of COVID, I officially launched my coaching business. What began as a way to help a few women find focus during chaos quickly became something much bigger.
Since then, I’ve helped countless women accomplish more in eight weeks than most achieve in an entire year — and for many, in their entire lives — all without burnout.
Earlier this year, I made the decision to go all in on my coaching business. I refined my framework, my systems, and my purpose — and my mission is clear: to help women build lives that feel as good on the inside as they look on the outside. To stop surviving and start leading their lives with intention, strategy, and grace.
It wasn’t always this way. It took me over ten years to earn my bachelor’s degree — and I graduated with an embarrassing 2.7 GPA. But once I gained clarity and direction, everything changed. I earned my first master’s degree with a 3.9 GPA and then went on to complete my MBA at Georgia Tech with a 3.7, all while working full-time, raising my son, and building multiple ventures.
Today, I’m a present and intentional mom and wife, balancing family, business, and continued education as I pursue my law degree (JD) part-time.
People often ask how I manage it all. The truth is, it’s not about doing more; it’s about having systems, routines, and clarity around what truly matters.
Through Next8™, I’ll show you how to do the same. Because when you focus intentionally, build systems that support you, and align your energy with your goals, anything becomes possible.

The Next8™ Promise
This isn’t a “money-back guarantee.” It’s a results-through-effort guarantee.
I don’t believe in quick fixes or overnight success stories.
I believe in strategy, consistency, and accountability. When you show up, ask questions, do the work, and apply what you learn, the magic will happen.
I promise you won’t be left alone in this process. My team and I are here every step of the way to guide, support, and help you stay on track.
But your transformation depends on your commitment — your willingness to take action, stay consistent, and trust the process.
If you fully participate and still feel stuck, I’ll personally connect with you to help identify what’s holding you back. That’s my promise to you.
