MYP kicks off Friday, Feb 3rd! Even if it's not for you, perhaps there's a friend who needs this right now. Feel free to send it their way!
It's hard to believe thatMapping Your Path #8 kicks off TOMORROW! Friday, Feb 3rd! I'm so thrilled to get going.
There are lots of returning faces (some who have been with me from the start, others who have taken several cycles off), and tons of new ones too! So far participants will be joining from Australia, New Zealand, Ghana, France, Germany, The Netherlands, Austria, Spain, Scotland, UK, and the US! This community is seriously one of a kind, and made up of magical humans! They'll help show you what's possible!!
This version is all about MOVING YOUR WAY, but in order to do that, first we have to get out of our own way...
The first blocker I regularly encounter in MYP is perfectionism. So many of us get stuck in "good student" mode or were raised to be the "good girl/boy." Sometimes I hear that people don't sign up because they can't join all the calls live, or they think they have to know what they want to start.
This experience is designed in a way that no one is expected to show up perfectly. We're all human and people with busy lives. You have full permission to engage in the components that resonate with you, and leave the rest. MYP is a safe container to be yourself. I want you to be able to practice showing up imperfectly.This is about taking imperfect action.
MYP isn't your typical workshop + community. I don't care if you show up late to workshops or have to leave early. They're all recorded! (And some participants will be asleep during the calls, so they're used to watching the replays; others even prefer watching the replays so they can pause and take more time with the exercises).
In the Slack community no one is expected to read/follow every post. (That's my job—I'm highly engaged in the community space, and LOVE it! Unlike many programs, you can expect to engage directly with me. I'm here to support you every step of the way). So watch out for the stories you're telling yourself. And if you're not a fan of Slack, trust me, we use it differently in MYP—this will be FUN. (And if you're new to the platform, don't worry, I'll support you with that too!).
It's time to take a deep breath and remove the overwhelm. You deserve it. Follow the itch towards what you truly desire.
It’s so easy to project stories and make assumptions about others, just as we can get in our own way with stories about who we are/how things have to be.
The reality is that we’re all on our own journeys and need to do things in our own ways. We need to keep our stories in check. The good news is our brains are plastic and we can rewire this programming! The possibilities are endless! ✨
In this round of Mapping Your Path, we’ll explore these (old/outdated) stories, limiting beliefs, blocks, and fears and rewrite them as we map our paths forward. It’ll be liberating and FUN as we do it in community (there will be lots of creative exercises, and yes, there will be banana maps too!).
There is so much power in the collective energy of the group. It's palpable. Get ready to step into your best self!!
Don't be fooled to think you need to have it all figured out to get started. MYP is about starting before you're ready. Rather than having someone tell you what to do, you'll get to chart your own course through the series of exercises we'll be exploring. (They're fun and will make you think! Time to work and reflect is built into the MYP workshops + reflection sessions, so all you need to do is show up for yourself!).
PAST MYPERS HAVE:
Allowed themselves to slow down and rest
Pivoted and launched new businesses
Started podcasts
Prototyped, experimented, and explored possible paths
Gotten dream jobs + into grad school
Quit dream jobs (and toxic ones too)
Navigated retirement
Found peace with where they are
Written books + pursued artistic endeavors
Tried new + unexpected things
Taken naps
Reignited joy in their lives
YOU’LL LEAVE THE 3-MONTHS FEELING:
Progress and pride around the steps you’ve taken (especially the small ones)
Gratitude and joy
Greater ease and peace around where you are and where you’re going
Inspired, alive, and energized
A new sense of what is possible
Surprised (in a good way) by what you uncovered about yourself
New clarity
We can get stuck in black and white, either/or thinking, but the reality is that there's always another way. While MYP is an investment in yourself, extended payment plans are available to help make it more accessible. (If you're self-employed consider making it a business expense—that's how I roll in life ;) ).
MAPPING YOUR PATH:
Moving Your Way 3-MONTH WORKSHOP + COMMUNITY
February — April 2023
It all kicks off Feb 3! The kick-off workshop is 5-6:30pm (CET/Paris time) Friday!
Sign up ASAP to join live, or get access to the replay after it takes place.
WHAT IF you allowed yourself to be who you want to be?
WHAT IF you did things in a way that feels true to you?
WHAT IF you were free to explore a playground of possibilities?
You CAN play by your own rules.
It’s time to follow your curiosity.
You don’t have to do it alone. Together we’ll work on mapping our own paths, harnessing the power of the collective in the company of an incredible global community. Open yourself up to another way, new possibilities, and FUN.
ANYTHING is possible.
(Yes, even in 3 months! The secret is in the small steps. They all add up!)
The Feb–April 2023 Mapping Your Path is all about exploring the magic within to ignite what’s always been inside of you and itching to get out. This is about creative play, experimentation, and exploration, as we take intentional time to connect and reflect. We’ll see the blocks, fears, and limiting beliefs that have been getting in our way and rewrite the old stories as we step into our true, authentic selves.
It’s time to get out of your head, stop overcomplicating things, and make peace with not having it all figured out. You know there’s something more for you in this life — you can feel it. You don’t have to wait anymore. Now it’s time to take the first step.
This is not your typical workshop + community.
Mapping Your Path is a place where you get to show up unabashedly as yourself. You get to show up imperfectly. This experience is designed for people with real lives and busy schedules. You don’t have to do it all. There are various ways to connect.
Monthly workshops and reflection sessions are recorded, so you can watch live or catch the replay (this allows participants around the globe to join!). These sessions are designed to unleash your creative juices. You'll get to feel like a kid again and PLAY. There's time to work on the exercises during the 1.5hr sessions.
The monthly small group connection calls with Anne + 5-6 mappers are always a highlight for MYPers and allow participants to connect on another level. You get to sign up for a day/time that is convenient for you.
Along the way, there's also a truly incredible community (on Slack) where you can come to be inspired, ask questions, share resources, and connect with these truly WONDERFUL humans around the world. Think of this as a cool café where you can pop by at your convenience, and stay as long or as short as you want. There's no pressure to follow every conversation. It's all here to support you wherever you are now.
You'll walk away with:
Exploratory maps
New creative exercises for your personal toolkit
Your own mini playbook to help keep you on track
Your best self (seriously! We’ll work through an exercise where you learn about yourself through others.)
New friends + support system
A new, empowered mindset! (We’ll be busting down those blocks!)
The fun starts Friday, February 3rd! Space is limited.
As a bonus for signing up, I'll be offering everyone who signs up for this round of MYP complimentary access to my Write Your Own Rules (self-paced) workshop. (Even if you've already taken it, it's always a good idea to review your rulebooks.)
