We are closing the door on another year. Imagine opening a new one filled with possibility and clarity. I have often opened that door only to lose interest within weeks.
What if you could rewrite the story of your life? Imagine starting fresh, creating a future self, and taking steps that lead to the life you’ve always dreamed about—whether it’s a creative career, stronger relationships, better habits, or simply feeling more fulfilled.
That’s what we’re going to explore together.
Starting this January, I’m launching a personal series for transformation on Substack called Reverse Engineer Your Life and Creative Rise. While creativity will be a focus, the principles we’ll cover apply to anything you want to change in your life. This process isn’t about quick fixes or abstract ideas. It’s about taking small, intentional steps to design your desired life changes. This is the process I followed over the years for many changes I’ve made in my life. I am currently rewriting my life once more.
I only recently sat down with a business associate and wrote down the lifelong process. This process isn’t just another list of tips—it’s a proven, step-by-step framework I’ve used through years of personal growth and transformation, and I want to share it with you.
Here’s what you can expect:
- The Power of Awareness: We’ll uncover the beliefs and habits that might hold you back in any area of your life.
- Rediscovering Curiosity: You’ll learn to tap into your imagination and explore possibilities without limits.
- Designing Your Future Self: Together, we’ll craft a vision for the person you want to become—whether it’s a thriving artist, a more present parent, or a healthier, happier version of yourself.
- Practical Steps for Growth: Each post will give you actionable exercises to start immediately.
This series is for anyone who feels stuck, ready to grow, or curious about what’s next. Whether you’re an artist, a maker, or someone seeking change in other parts of life, you’ll find insights to inspire and guide you.
Why Reverse Engineer Your Life?
Most of us think of change as something we work toward in the future. But what if you started with the end in mind—your ideal self—and worked backward to uncover the steps to get there? That’s the magic of reverse engineering: it’s intentional, actionable, and deeply personal
Let’s Make It Fun
Each year, I create what I call “Energy Playlist.” The playlists change as I change. The only criteria for my playlist is to make me feel uplifted and inspired. The list is not of music with deep emotional ties. I’ll share energizing songs from my playlist throughout this series to keep you inspired and moving. These tracks will lift your spirit and connect with each week’s theme.
To kick things off, here’s a song I love that is perfect for starting your playlist: “Unwritten” by Natasha Bedingfield. It’s all about stepping into your story with an open heart and endless possibilities.
