How Does Looking Inward Change Your Life?
The most important conversation you have is with yourself. When there is an internal misalignment, your lack of deep self-awareness can influence your life in various ways:
- remaining stuck in a job that no longer serves you
- confusion
- anxiety and fear
- minimal growth
- weak relationships
Your mindset becomes a superpower when it's aligned and integrated. Read how my life changed by adopting these 10 building blocks that activated my transformation.

A private, intimate experience
This course is limited to just 7 people so that my instruction and our discussions are personal, private, and memorable.
Active hands-on learning, not passive watching
This course builds on live workshops and hands-on projects to create an environment that produces deliverables and reflection. I'll teach a concept, show you an example, give you an exercise, and then you'll do it. You'll learn by doing, not watching. The intent is to create drafts of your content that you can then refine outside the live session as needed.
I will spend 7+ hours with you during live sessions and an optional 6 hours for office hours.
Learn with a cohort of peers
Connect and engage with like-minded people who want to learn and grow alongside you. Collaborating and helping each other through exercise will answer common questions and ensure each person makes progress.
Personalized guidance and feedback
The deliverables you create and internalize are key to enabling your transformation. I will hold a one-hour office hour weekly to provide personalized feedback and answer questions. My role as a coach is to pose questions that help you gain deeper awareness and not offer advice as you know yourself best.
Cohort collaboration
We'll have a private Slack channel for our cohort to post questions and answers, small wins, and provide the support that helps us build consciousness and energy.
