Adaptation↓Rebellion↓Aliveness
That’s the whole move.Read below to learn more.
The whole move
Adaptation is what you did to fit in. Somewhere early you worked out who you needed to be, and you became that. It worked, which is why you’re still doing it. The cost doesn’t show up as a crisis. It shows up as a life that functions and doesn’t feel like yours.
Rebellion is the turn. Not against anybody. Being willing to look at what you were handed and ask whether you’d choose it now.
Aliveness is what’s on the other side. You, present for your own life instead of managing it.
The Second Ascent
In my book The Four Forces, the Second Ascent is the ascent you choose. It starts the day you begin looking honestly at your life and moving toward one you love to live. It’s the stage you are in while we work together, and it’s what this coaching is for.
Ways to work with me
Starter
Three sessions
A way to begin. We look honestly at where you are, and you find out whether this work, and I, are right for you.
Rebel Aliveness
Six months
For people who are technically fine, and know something essential has gone quiet. You’re functioning. The work gets done, the people around you are taken care of, nothing is visibly wrong. And somewhere underneath that, something has gone still.
This isn’t about the absence of illness, and it isn’t about optimization. It’s about vitality: the felt experience of being alive, rather than the successful management of a life.
We work with your whole health, not just the physical side: meaning and identity, your body, your mind, your emotions, the world around you, and the people who matter. Nothing here runs on force. There’s no plan to comply with and no version of you to become.
The EchoSystem
Six months · experimental
A new program, still being tested, with its own page. Not their system, refined. Yours, created: a private, living document we build together, from what comes up in our sessions.
This is coaching. It is not for acute crisis, and it does not replace clinical care.
Where to start
Before we talk, I’ll ask you to spend six minutes on this. Thirty-three questions, and at the end you get a readout of how the four forces are shaping your life. It’s free, it’s yours, and you can do it without ever speaking to me.
