What is the Desire Map?

A guide to creating goals with soul.

Your bucket list. Quarterly objectives. Strategic plans. Big dreams. Goals. Lots of goals and plans to achieve those goals–no matter what. Except…

You’re not chasing the goal itself, you’re actually chasing the feeling that achieving that goal will give you.

Knowing how you actually want to feel is the most potent form of clarity that you can have. Generating those feelings is the most powerfully creative thing you can do with your life.

How can the Desire Map help you?

Are you a goal getter?

Goal Getters are clear on what they want. They looooove planning — they are daily planner lovers, list-makers, focused. And, chances are, they never feel like they’ve arrived. They want holistic, life-affirming systems so they can do more of what they love and less of the planning.

Feeling good along the way to your goals doesn’t mean you don’t work your ass off to get what you want. It means you joyously work your ass off.

Desire feeling good more than you want to check accomplishments off your list!

Are you a seeker?

Seekers come to the workshop to get clear on what they truly desire. They know they have something to give the world; they’re just not quite sure what that thing is.

The Desire Map workshop begins with getting clear on what you already have in your life, what you are grateful for, and where you are dissatisfied.

You’ll get clear on the root of your desire and create a map of how you desire to feel in five areas of your life. From that place of clarity, you’ll be guided to discover and declare your core desired feelings.

The Desire Map is for you if:

you are ready for a new approach to goal setting
you have set goals in the past, maybe even achieved them – but still feel like something is missing
you’re tired of striving, you are ready to feel good
you want to have an incredible year this year
you love feeling good
you always put yourself at the end of your “to do” list, and you are ready to put yourself first
you are feeling dissatisfaction at work, and are considering a career change
your kids are grown, now what?
you’ve just graduated, now what?
you know there has GOT to be more to life
you LOVE self improvement journeys
you set the same goals every year (lose weight, eat healthy, go to the gym…) and you are ready for something different
you are finally ready to call in the life you desire (and deserve)
you are slightly, even just a little bit, curious or excited about what you’ve read so far

That sounds like me!

Do all of these things seem to be describing you? Let’s talk next steps.
