BY YOUR OWN DESIGN

Workshop 1: The World You Were Handed

How did humans actually live before modern culture reshaped everything? What assumptions about work, rest, and productivity have you absorbed without choosing them? This workshop uses evidence from anthropology to help you see the gap between how you’re living and what would actually work for your body and brain. You leave with an honest map of that gap and a question to carry with you.

Workshop 2: Whose Life Am I Building?

Many of the expectations we carry feel like they’re ours, but they were handed to us by culture, family, or an older version of ourselves. This workshop helps you sort which expectations you actually want to keep, and build a clearer sense of who you want to be when life gets messy. You leave with identity anchors, an experiment to try, and a kinder inner voice to fall back on.

Workshop 3: The Capacity You Have

Your energy changes across the day, the month, and the season. This workshop looks at the different kinds of tiredness, maps your actual energy patterns, and helps you plan around what you have instead of what you wish you had. You leave with an energy map, a rest diagnostic, and a simple system for adjusting your plans to how you actually feel.

Workshop 4: The Load You Carry

The invisible work of anticipating, remembering, monitoring, and managing takes up far more energy than most people realise. This workshop gives you precise vocabulary for what you’re carrying and helps you move at least one of those things out of your head and into a system. You leave with a clearer picture of the hidden work in your life and one concrete thing externalised.

Workshop 5: Designing for the Days That Break

Any plan that only works on a good day has a problem. This workshop helps you build a stripped-down version of your week that holds even when everything else falls apart. You also create a personal menu of what actually helps you when you’re struggling, and look honestly at what “enough” means in one area of your life.

Workshop 6: The Conversation

Whether you need to redistribute responsibilities with a partner or build support as someone doing it all alone, this workshop helps you draft and practise one specific conversation. You say the opening line out loud. You make a plan for what to do if it doesn’t go well. You put a date on the calendar before you leave.

Workshop 7: The Refusal

You can’t do everything. This workshop helps you figure out what to let go of. You identify what’s draining your energy, practise saying one specific “no” out loud, and make a short list of decisions you only need to make once. We also look at the fact that not everyone has the same freedom to say no, and what that means for how you approach refusal.
