"I realized that I don't have to put up with a subpar life for financial freedom. I can design a life I don't want to escape from."
20 cohorts have already designed lives they truly love
You don't have to wait until the next financial milestone. You can design your life RIGHT NOW.
I’ve been designing my life since 2019. Here’s what I learned:
- Human beings are terrible at predicting what will make them happy.
- There are proven techniques to help you discover what you really want.
- We all have an inner critic holding us back. Learning to dream big starts with setting that voice aside.
- It takes a community supporting us to dream bigger and take bold actions.
- You gain confidence from taking action - not convincing yourself you aren't scared.
- You can design a life you love LONG BEFORE reaching financial independence.
This program will teach you the exact strategies I used to figure out what I wanted, dream big, and craft a life I don't want to retire from.
In July of 2018, I quit a toxic job to design a life I truly love. To be clear I didn’t just quit and run off to travel the world.
Instead, I discovered what I valued most – health, relationships, creativity, and adventure – and designed my life around those things.
After taking a 6-month career break in 2018, I went back to work part-time at a non-profit organization. This schedule provided me with time and energy to focus on my health, wellness, relationships, and passion projects.
After just two years, I was able to turn my passion projects into an income-generating business. From there, I experimented with long-term travel and built out a campervan with my husband. In 2023, we transitioned to a location-independent lifestyle, where we can travel for months at a time and spend the rest of our time at our home base in the beautiful White Mountains of New Hampshire.
I truly love my life. I’m energized by my work, and I love that I can wake up without an alarm clock, work at my own pace, and take breaks whenever I need them. In addition to my creative endeavors, I have plenty of time to focus on my health, relationships, and awe-inspiring adventures.
I’ve designed a life I don’t want to retire from, and I did it LONG before reaching financial independence.
It wasn’t always like this though…
Before starting on this journey, I was completely burned out. Everyday was the same stressful routine, and I felt like I could never catch a break.
From the outside, my life looked successful and idyllic. People thought I was living the dream.
On the inside, I was completely miserable and burned out. It felt more like a nightmare.
And, here’s what worse: I thought about making a change for years, but I never did anything about it.
Then, all of a sudden, things got really stressful at work. I started experiencing severe anxiety and panic attacks. It was so severe that I could no longer avoid it.
I wish I had made significant changes sooner.
So, why didn’t I?
After working with lots of people, I discovered my reasons were the same as the ones you might have right now.
- You don't realize there are other options. You might not know anyone who has chosen an unconventional life path.
- Your identity might be tied up in your career. Maybe you have accepted society's message that your career is how you add value to the world... until now.
- And, let's be real... Making any big life change is scary. You might keep telling yourself that your situation isn't so bad. You may be worried that if you leave your current situation, you might find yourself in a situation that's even worse.
Do you feel like you are living on autopilot? Like you are stuck in a rut? Burned out? Like there should be more to life?
I promise you – there is!

What is your current lifestyle costing you?
After I worked through this three-stage lifestyle design process and started building a better life, something really surprising happened. I looked at my spending and realized that I had spent $17,000 less than the year before.
Life felt the same. Actually, life felt better.
How did this happen?
I dug deeper and realized that our spending in 4 categories had decreased significantly. It was not surprising that these categories could be described as convenience (groceries and restaurants) and escape (travel and general shopping).
When I was stressed out and unhappy with my life, I’d buy expensive, easy-to-make groceries because I knew I’d be too tired to cook.
When I was especially tired (which was much of the time), I would order take-out or go out to eat. That happened too often. Then, the expensive, convenient groceries went to waste.
I felt like I deserved fancy vacations because I worked so hard. Vacations were the thing I looked forward to all year. Don’t get me wrong; I do like a good vacation, but it doesn’t have to be fancy or expensive.
I bought way too many random things. I’d go shopping online or in a store for clothes, shoes, books, games, kitchen gadgets, etc. In the year before I embarked on my lifestyle design process, I spent $4,000 each year on “general shopping.”
Sadly, general shopping is a catchall category, and I couldn’t point to what I actually spent the money on.
Somehow, designing a better life for myself inadvertently improved my financial health.
Most importantly, my life is so much better. I’m no longer burned out. I feel energized and engaged by my work and passion projects.
Not only that, I have a healthy balance that allows me to also focus on having fun, building strong relationships, and improving my health.
Think about it. Do you spend money on things because it will help make life feel more bearable? Could you reduce or eliminate convenience or escape spending AND design a life you love?

I wish I hadn't waited so long...
I spent too many precious years thinking about making changes in my life. I was paralyzed because:
- I didn’t realize the options that were available
- I didn’t know how to figure out what I really wanted
- I was afraid that my new situation would be worse or compromise me financially
If I could provide any advice, it would be this. Don’t wait to start designing a life you love.
You don’t have to know what you already want. You can still need to generate income. You can reclaim your time and your energy before achieving FI. Some people won’t understand your goals, and that’s okay.
Just start.
