What if you could design a life that feels like your own?

Hi {{ first_name | default: "there" }},

We've spent this week talking about the difference between an inherited life and a designed life.

An inherited life is one you live on autopilot. A designed life is one you create on purpose.

I want you to take a moment and imagine what a designed life would look like for you.

What would you do if you weren't afraid? What would you create if you knew you couldn't fail? What would your life feel like if it was truly your own?

That's the vision. That's the work.

I'll be sharing my journey of designing my life every day on Instagram. If you want to follow along, you can find me here.

Thank you for being on this journey with me.

To your evolution,

Dr. Leen

Hi {{ first_name | default: "there" }}, For years, I tried to optimize my life. More productivity. More efficiency. More output. But optimization is about doing more. And I was already doing too much. Then I realized something: Optimization assumes the life you're living is the right one. It just needs to be more efficient. But what if the life you're living isn't the one you want? What if you ...

I had everything. So why was I still exhausted?

Hi {{ first_name | default: "there" }}, By 2023, I had everything I once prayed for. The career.The family.The house.The stability. I checked every box. And yet I was still exhausted. Not physically. Existentially. I was constantly prioritizing everyone else.Waiting for the weekend.Waiting for the next vacation.Waiting to finally feel alive. That was my aha moment. Nothing was wrong. But I was ...
