We get this question quite often: “Umm... so I finished the 7-Day Challenge… what should I do next?” We created this guide to make it easier for you to navigate what we offer inside this community and choose what feels right for you. - First, there is no strict order. These are options, not levels you must “unlock.” Follow your interest and your intuition. The most important thing is that your practice feels sustainable, enjoyable, and aligned with where you are right now. Move at your own pace. Make it your own. - The recorded live sessions are always a great supplement. Even better—join live when you can. Being able to ask questions to Sonny in real time and receive direct guidance is one of the biggest perks of being part of this community. It brings the practice to life in a different way. - The 7-Day Challenge isn’t just a starting point for new members. It’s also a powerful place to revisit. Each time you return, you’ll likely notice something deeper—better alignment, clearer understanding, more subtle awareness. Foundations are meant to be rebuilt again and again. - These practices are not a straight line. They’re more like a circle that continues to deepen over time. You can always return, revisit, and rediscover—and you will keep learning something new. That’s the beauty of this path. It’s an ongoing journey you can cultivate for a lifetime. Above all, if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to post them in our Q&A tab or simply send a direct message to the support team, @Jayda Jeon or @Joshua Harris We’re always happy to help you navigate so your practice can be rooted strongly on this journey.
