Have you fallen asleep at the wheel?

Have you fallen asleep at the metaphorical wheel of your life? Started to just maintain the status quo. Ever reply with, “oh, you know, just ticking along,” when someone asks you how you are doing? Have you long forgotten the dreams you had?

The good news is, the embers of the fire are still there. Just hidden deep inside you. Maybe it has been a while since you last spoke to someone about them.

How do we start blowing on these smouldering coals and get the fire inside of you started again? How can you re-ignite your dreams? Rediscover your North Star and get back on the path to purpose.

Together we can rediscover your purpose. Your “ikigai”. What you are meant to be doing. The good you can bring into the world and share with others. The communities you are here to build, and to be part of. The legacy you want to leave.

Maybe you are going through a big transition. A major life change. A new role, more responsibilities. You are spinning so many plates that you have parked your passions. Maybe life just got in the way. It has a way of doing that to all of us.

And I am here to help you. Let’s work together. We can create the space that you need. We can create the oxygen you need to light that spark. The one that you know is deep inside you. Fighting to get out. What are you waiting for?


Message me for a no commitment initial chat and let’s see how we can start lighting fires together.

Thought provoking article, Fran. Thanks for sharing. Made me think of all the times we hear people say, "Yes, I'm good. I'm getting there." But where are they getting to? Are they-as you say-asleep at the wheel-with no real thought on where they heading? Looking fwd to our next catch up in the weeks ahead.
