Why Personal Growth Work Feels So Scary
Personal growth can feel intimidating and frightening, and it can be hard to tell why that is. Here are some of my thoughts on it.
A short, daily email prompt to tune into your in-the-moment sensory experience.
It’s designed to take seconds, literally.
You don’t have to get up, move, or do anything. There are no exercises, and no comparison with anyone else.
You simply notice what’s going on in one part of your body, or around you, in this very moment.
Gradually, over time, this noticing can subtly increase your own internal awareness at other times as well.
The whole sequence is an email-a-day for three months (though you can cancel anytime).
The prompts are designed to be:
So this (hopefully) won’t be just one more thing on your over-crowded to-do list, or yet another email that you’re ignoring out of overwhelm.
If body stuff is trauma-triggering for you. This is designed to be trauma sensitive, but it is directly addressing body stuff and if you’re not in a place where you can process that right now, even in a gentle way, this isn’t the right time.
If I were to put a firm price-tag on this, I’d ask $20 for the full sequence of three months. But that doesn’t work for everyone.
So here’s what I’m offering. (It’s a new experiment; we’ll see how this works.)
– Now –
Chipping in an initial $1 (or more, you choose) tells me “you’re in.”
– Later –
After you’ve tried this for a while, you get to decide how much to contribute, based on what this has been worth to you and your current financial situation. Add what you can then. (There’s a discrete link in each email, you decide when to use it.) If you get nothing from this, add nothing. If you find it adds some, any, value to your life, I trust you to add a little more.
– Or –
You could chip in more to start with and not bother with adding later. Whichever works for you.
More self-guided experiences, asynchronous courses, and live group courses are coming. I’m working on three right now! Here’s one of them:

Here’s an upside to help you make your history of autistic masking work for your benefit.
Here’s what might be going on if you hate being perceived, if it feels bad or awful, especially if you’re Autistic or otherwise different from the majority around you.
