Design the Year You Desire

(A.K.A. How to Stop Living Like Life's a Dumpster Fire and Actually Have a Plan for Once)

Look, I'm just going to say it.

If your approach to life has often been "stand in the middle of the chaos and pretend everything is fine"... same. That was me. That was probably you. That was definitely most of us cheerfully vibing while everything around us was on fire.

But here's the thing: 2026 doesn't have to be another year of surviving the flames.

What if you actually had a plan this time? Not a sad list of resolutions you'll forget by February. Not a Pinterest vision board gathering dust. An actual, soul-aligned, feels-like-YOU kind of plan.

That's what this online retreat is for.

Design the Year You Desire

A Four-Day Immersive Retreat for Creatives Who Are Done Winging It

Over four days, we're going to do something radical: we're going to stop and actually think about what we want. Wild concept, I know.

You'll release the chaos of 2025 (goodbye, we won't miss you), reconnect with your future self (she's very impressive, btw), and build a living, breathing blueprint for 2026 that actually honors how you work best.

This isn't about hustling harder or optimizing yourself into a productivity robot. It's about designing from desire instead of discipline. Creating from alignment instead of anxiety.

Basically: we're retiring the dumpster fire energy. ✨🦝

Why This Retreat Is Different

Most planning retreats hand you a goal-setting worksheet and call it a day.

Cool. Super helpful. /s

This retreat starts with something most people skip entirely: who you're becoming.

Because here's what I've learned after years of helping creatives build their lives: you can't out-plan a misaligned identity. You can set all the goals you want, but if they don't match who you actually are (or who you're growing into), they'll feel like dragging a boulder uphill in heels.

We're working with The Soulscript Method—my six-phase framework that moves through:

Awareness → Release → Alignment → Identity → Flow → Integration

Each day ties reflection to embodiment, inner clarity to outer strategy. So your creative life actually feels as alive as your vision.

What You'll Actually Do

Day 1 — Release & Reflect

Clear out the residue of 2025. (Yes, ALL of it.) Witness your old story without judgment and make room for what's next.

Day 2 — Reclaim & Realign

Reconnect with what you actually want—not what you think you should want. Redefine success based on energy, not expectations. Set your 2026 goals.

Day 3 — Create & Call It In

Turn your vision into something real. Build your 2026 blueprint with clarity, flow, intention, and design.

Day 4 — Anchor & Activate

Lock it in. Integrate everything into a daily rhythm and create your personal plan for making it stick.

What You'll Get

• Four days of Live Zoom Calls — Plus time for questions and answers.
• Digital and Printable Workbook — Reflection prompts, action guides, planning templates (the whole shebang)
• Guided Energy Practices — Activities and meditations to ground and activate your 2026 self
• Vision & Planning Framework — A fusion of neuroscience, identity work, and energy alignment (because we're fancy like that)
• Integration Templates — Yearly and quarterly planners, Money Date Guide, Daily Anchor checklist
• Post-Retreat Support (see the bonus!)

Every element moves you through the Soulscript Arc: old story → new identity → embodied transformation.

No fluff. No filler. Just the stuff that actually works.

But Wait, There's More (And It's Actually Good)

When you join the retreat, you also get a free 90-day membership to Magic & Method, my Creative Planning Group, starting January 16.

Magic & Method is where writers, artists, musicians, entrepreneurs, and culture-makers come together for mentorship, training, and community as they plan, develop, and launch their passion projects. It's strategic and soulful. Scientific and spiritual. My signature blend of getting things done while staying connected to why it matters.

Think of it as your support system for actually following through on everything you build during the retreat. Because we all know the planning is the easy part—it's the three months after that get tricky.

Your 90-day membership includes:

• 2 monthly planning check-in calls (for a total of 6 calls)
• 1 monthly mindset class (3 classes)
• 1 monthly live mindset check-in (3 calls)
• Quarterly planning updates (1 call)
• Access to all replays
• A supportive discussion community full of people who get it

So you're not just getting a retreat. You're getting a whole ecosystem to keep you on track when January motivation fades and February doubt creeps in. (We've all been there. No shame.)

Who This Is For

This retreat is for the creative who's ready to stop being a hot mess (affectionate) and start being intentional.

You'll feel at home here if you:

• Crave clarity and sustainable creative flow (not the boom-and-crash cycle)
• Feel "between chapters"—successful on paper but craving something more
• Want to plan 2026 with both intuition AND intention
• Are ready to align your energy, values, and work so they finally match who you've become

You don't need to push harder. You just need to design your year from the inside out.
