Welcome — and why this space exists
I started this space with mixed emotions. On one hand, I’m genuinely uplifted by how many people are questioning their lives right now. All over social media I see people waking up — asking better questions, rejecting paths that no longer fit, and giving themselves permission to imagine something different. That part gives me real hope.
But I’m also concerned. Too often, change is presented as something you leap into. Sell the house. Quit the job. Move countries. Burn the bridge. “Just do it” is the dominant message — and it gets applause because it looks brave.
What rarely gets talked about is what happens after the applause fades. I’ve lived through enough real-world change to know that speed feels empowering… right up until reality shows up. Constraints. Money. Relationships. Energy. Longevity. Those things don’t disappear just because the idea felt right in the moment.
This Skool exists because I wanted a space between stagnation and impulse. A place where people can slow things down without being told they’re afraid. A place where questions are valued more than certainty. A place where change is designed — not performed.
As for me: I haven’t arrived at these ideas from theory or Instagram inspiration. I’ve made big changes in my own life — multiple times — across work, identity, location, lifestyle, and direction. Some worked well. Some didn’t. All of them taught me something. What I’ve learned is this: the most stable, life-giving changes aren’t dramatic. They’re well-designed. They respect reality. They unfold in the right order. And they leave you stronger, not more fragile.
This isn’t a motivation hub. It isn’t a hustle space. And it isn’t about pushing anyone toward a particular outcome. It’s a place to think clearly, speak honestly, and build change that actually holds up in the real world — with other people who understand that “feeling called” and “being ready” are not the same thing.
If something in your life has quietly stopped working, you’re in the right place. Take your time. Read. Reflect. Join the conversations when you’re ready. Nothing here requires a leap.
If you have come here seeking change, taker a look at Gate One in the classroom and then share what your friction is. In my experience this helps everyone - they can get comfort that they aren't the only ones feeling the way they do. I encourage people to share and comment, but don't try and solve anything - this is an individual experience for everyone here and, even though everyone uses the same tools, the results can be widely different.
