Building Healthy Rhythms

Free intro course

If you were to live every day for the next five years like you lived yesterday, who would you be in five years? This free email course walks you through putting your own rule of life into words, one set of rhythms at a time: daily, weekly, monthly, and seasonal, making room for your authentic self. Four lessons, spaced out over about eight weeks.

Reflective Journaling

Name your price

A 5-week email course built around a simple daily reflection practice drawn from an ancient spiritual practice called Examen. You’ll develop a journaling habit that helps you understand your feelings, your patterns, and what you actually want, and notice when you’re living from your authentic self and when you’re not.

Non-lonely Leadership

Coming soon

One of the greatest challenges of leadership is the isolation and loneliness that can happen within the role. This course will guide you to cultivate healthy and supportive relationships to journey alongside you in the challenges of leadership, so you can lead from your authentic self, not your role.

This course is in development… contact me to be notified when it is available.

Questions?

Which course should I start with?

Start with Building Healthy Rhythms. It’s free, and a practical starting point for anyone who wants to live with more intention, with practices at every layer of your life: daily, weekly, monthly, and seasonal. Don’t try to take on everything at once. Build a rhythm, and maybe add Reflective Journaling down the road.

Do I need a spiritual background?

No spiritual background required — these courses work for anyone seeking deeper self-understanding. The reflection practice is based on an ancient Christian practice called the examen, though you don’t need to fully embrace the Christian faith to benefit from it.

How much time does it take?

The daily reflection practice is almost like a daily standup: a 10 to 15 minute chance to stop and look back on what you’ve experienced with a little bit of objectivity. It’s not about the depth of it on a given day, but the breadth of it as you do it day after day.

What is a rule of life?

The idea was formalized about 1,500 years ago in the Rule of St. Benedict, which described the common way of life for the monks in a monastery. The word shares origins with what we’d call a trellis today: a structure that helps a vine grow upward so it can flourish and bear the most fruit.

A rule of life is a clearly defined set of practices and habits that help you grow toward the most flourishing version of yourself. It’s meant to be specific, but not rigid. And you don’t need to be a monk, or come from any particular faith background, for it to be useful.

How are the courses delivered?

After you subscribe, you will receive a welcome email to help you prepare, followed by scheduled emails spread over the weeks to follow. Each lesson takes about 15 minutes.
