THIS IS AN AUDIO EXPERIENCE FOR THE POSSESSORS OF "THE WAY OF YOU" book from School of Professional Design

When you set out to create a new life, you face resistance — real, imagined, and programmed. Whether you’re seeking innovation, reinvention, or just trying to find a new way forward, you’ll encounter:

• Giants (real people, structures, and systems standing in your way)

• Dragons (the fears and doubts that terrify you)

• Demons (old programs and false identities you’ve unknowingly lived by)

Through true short stories, origin metaphors, and powerful questions, you’ll shine a light on the invisible forces that have been slowing you down — maybe for your entire life.

This session is designed to help you stop making excuses and find a way, even during tough times. Just like Ruth Graves Wakefield turned a missing ingredient into the creation of the chocolate chip cookie, your obstacles might just be the birthplace of your greatest breakthrough.

Inside this journal experience:

• Face the real-world Giants keeping you stuck

• Slay the Dragons of fear and self-doubt

• Expose the Demons (programs) holding you back

• Step into your true identity with courage and clarity

• Rewrite your personal origin story with hope
