    [BONUS] Grounding, Guided Compass Check-in

    Guiding your way back to what matters. The Compass is not a planner. It’s not a checklist. And it’s not a “Word of the Year” you have to stick with. It’s a simple, seasonal practice for choosing how you want to be as you move through your life. Instead of asking: What should I do next? The Compass asks: Who am I becoming as I move forward? Inside, you’ll be invited to: reflect on what’s rising to the surfacechoose a word, animal, or sign that resonatesnotice how it shows up in your daily lifereturn to it whenever you feel disconnected or unsure There’s no timeline. No right interpretation. No pressure to get it “right.” You can come back to this practice: when life shiftswhen your word no longer fitswhen something new is arriving The Compass is meant to be lived quietly, as a North Star, not a map. ✨ Includes 15 pages for returning to your word or letting it change ✨ Designed to complement G.R.O.W. without overlapping it ✨ Can be revisited anytime, in any season Get Your Wildly Intentional Compass [Digital Download]
