A challenge designed to reset your baseline — so you start expecting the good stuff.
Doors close August 31
Negativity bias isn't a character flaw, it's architecture. Threats get logged in permanent ink; good things get a sticky note. It kept your ancestors alive and it's currently making a perfectly decent Tuesday feel like nothing at all.
You can't affirm your way out of a structural bias. You train against it — deliberately, on a schedule, with people who care whether you showed up. That last part is the one everybody skips, and it's the one that decides whether any of it holds.
One practice you do every day, for all fifteen days. Plus a new one every third morning — five in total. You try each, keep what works, let the rest go. By day fifteen you'll know which one is yours.
The through-line. It starts on day one and runs to the last morning, underneath everything else. It's the piece most people are still doing a year later — the one participants describe as the reminder that never left their phone.
Scale. A blunt baseline for how much you've been walking straight past — and it is always more than you think.
The one nobody expects to work, and reliably the one that does. Appreciation leaves your head and arrives in your body — you can feel your state change in the few minutes it takes. Past participants talk about this one for months.
Two ends of the same day, held side by side. This is where you start finding gratitude in unsuspecting places — and it's usually where the tide begins to turn.
One thing opens onto the next, which opens onto the next. It starts small and gets away from you in the best possible way.
Three small shifts in wording that turn out to be three different lenses on the same day. Each one catches something the other two walk straight past — and most people are surprised by which one hits hardest.
Done together on a call. It doesn't translate to a written prompt — it needs the room.
Also live. This one tends to travel — people take it out of the group and into their families and friendships.
This only works if you decide it will. Confirmation bias cuts both ways: walk in expecting nothing and you will reliably find nothing. Walk in with actual intention and you'll be astonished at what has been sitting there the entire time. I can hand you the structure, the start date, and the accountability. The intention is the part that's yours.
I run coaching containers for people who are very good at achieving things and very bad at enjoying them.
I started running this challenge because I'd read all the gratitude research and still couldn't make the habit stick alone. Turns out I didn't need more convincing. I needed a start date, a structure, and other people doing it at the same time.
So this is the smallest, most portable version of my work — no retreat center, no flights, no two weeks off. Fifteen days, a handful of practices, and a group of people who start on the same morning you do.
I can't do gratitude for you, but I can do it with you.

Same, and that's most of why this exists in this shape. One practice, done alone, with nobody noticing whether you showed up, almost never holds. A daily through-line, five rotating practices, a fixed fifteen-day window, and a group doing it beside you is a completely different thing.
No. Every call is recorded, and plenty of people go at their own rhythm and never join live. The only things you'd miss in real time are the two practices we do together on the calls — and those get walked through in the recordings too.
You are. Each rotating practice runs three days precisely so a missed day gets absorbed instead of ending the whole experiment. Come back. Nobody is keeping a chart.
No. Plenty of people read for a week before they say anything, and that's fine. But the ones who post are, reliably, the ones who finish.
About eight minutes a day.
8AM Pacific / 11AM Eastern — that's 4PM UK and 5PM in Spain, where I'll be running them from. Every call is recorded.
Then you're precisely who this is for. This isn't about gaslighting yourself into "liking" the hard things. It's about recognizing that beauty and hardship can exist hand in hand.
The point was never to decide the hard thing is secretly fine. It's to make sure the hard thing doesn't get to eat everything else at the table.
There are no refunds — on purpose. I can't do the work for you, so make sure you feel committed to yourself before signing up.
You're taking a bet on yourself. And if you wouldn't bet on you, why would you ask anyone else to?
Everyone is welcome. The room tends to fill with women who are extremely capable and extremely tired, and that honestly shapes the tone.
