Identity: Not “What”, But “How”
Many people find they lose aspects of their identity when they have kids. Can you relate? This year has certainly made it more challenging to hold onto our identities. Many things in our lives have been “lost” (or put on hold) during the pandemic, and it has been hard.
If you’re feeling like you’ve lost yourself, you’re in the right place.
INTRODUCING:
THE CREATE VISION PACKAGE
Create a meaningful vision for your family.
Amazing family life does not create itself.
Step away from working “in” your family,
and take a moment to work “on” it.

The “what” might change, but how we show up remains constant.

For Making a Compelling Game Plan for A Family Life You Love
What exactly do you get in the Create Vision Package? You’re going to get everything you need to create your own little Create Vision Workshop.

Do it in bed, in a coffee shop or in a hotel somewhere.
Do it in less than three hours or in two full days.
Either way, I need to warn you: Going through this process might make you unbearably enthusiastic about your life and razor-sharp focused on your purpose as a family.
