What Do You Actually Want?

Not what you think you should want. Not what sounds responsible or realistic. Not what you wanted five years ago. What does the truest part of you want — right now, in this particular season of your life and your business?

This worksheet moves from the inside out — we start with your life, then bring everything we discover into your business. Both matter. Neither lives without the other.

✦   A Word Before You Begin
Your True Self knows exactly what it wants. It's been quietly signaling you for years — through longing, through restlessness, through the things that make you feel most alive. This worksheet is just a way to finally listen.
There are two voices inside you. The Survival Self wants to be responsible, logical, and approved of — it optimizes for safety and other people's expectations. The True Self knows what's real before your mind can argue with it. Today we're asking the True Self to speak — and asking the Survival Self to wait in the other room for a bit.
How to use this worksheet Read each question slowly. Notice what your body does — expansion, warmth, or a little flutter of excitement is a "yes." Tightness, flatness, or dread is a "no." Follow the expansions. Don't edit yourself. Write the first thing that comes. You can refine later — right now you're just listening.
🧭
Warm-Up
Calibrate Your Compass
Tuning in before you dive in
1. Right now, in this season of life, what word or phrase best describes how you've been living? (Honest answer — not the version you'd post online.)
2. And what word or phrase describes how you want to be living — the feeling you're reaching toward?
3. What's one thing you know — know — needs to change, even if you've been pretending it doesn't?
Your body compass: Expansion — warmth, ease, energy, a quiet "yes" — points toward your true life. Contraction — dread, flatness, heaviness, a tight "ugh" — points away. Let that signal guide this whole exercise.
✦   Part One — Dream Across Your Life   ✦

For each area below: read the questions slowly, notice what feels alive, and write your honest, uncensored answer. No editing.

🌿
Body & Health
If your body could speak right now, what would it ask for? What is it tired of? What does it crave?
What would it feel like to wake up genuinely good in your body — not just functional, but alive?
⏱️
Time & Daily Rhythm
Describe your dream Tuesday. Where are you? What are you doing — and not doing? When do you start? When do you stop?
What would it feel like to truly own your time?
✦
Money & Financial Life
What would it feel like to have enough — not barely enough, but genuinely secure and free? What number, lifestyle, or feeling is that?
What would you do, give, or experience if money weren't the constraint?
🌹
Love & Relationships
What does deep connection feel like for you — in your closest relationship, your friendships, your community? Where are you craving more of it?
What kind of people do you want to be surrounded by in this season?
🏡
Home & Environment
Where do you feel most like yourself — what kind of place, city, nature, neighborhood? Does your environment reflect who you're becoming?
What would your ideal home or workspace feel like to be in every day?
🪁
Adventure, Play & Hobbies
What do you do purely for the joy of it — no goal, no audience, no ROI? What have you let fall away that you miss?
If you gave yourself full permission to play, what would you do?
📖
Learning & Growth
What are you wildly curious about right now — not what you should be learning, but what genuinely fascinates you?
Who do you want to become over the next 12 months — what capacities or wisdom are calling to be developed?
🕊️
Spirit & Inner Life
What feeds your soul right now? What practices or experiences help you feel most connected — to yourself, to something larger?
What would genuine inner peace feel like in this season — not the absence of problems, but a real sense of okayness?
Reflection Exercise
Survival Self  /  True Self
Imagine two versions of your life. The life your Survival Self designed — built around obligation, fear, "shoulds," and other people's expectations. And the life your True Self would choose if every constraint vanished tomorrow: no fear, no judgment, no financial pressure, no one to disappoint.

List 4–5 things in each column. Be ruthlessly honest on the left. Be outrageously honest on the right.
⛓   Survival Self — I'm doing this because I feel I have to
✦   True Self — I'd be doing this if I were fully free
✦   The Bridge   ✦
Your business isn't separate from your life. It's one of the most powerful containers you have for living it.
Everything you just explored — the freedom you want, the rhythm you're craving, the kind of days you dream about, the impact you're longing to make — your business can either serve all of that, or work against it. Now let's get specific about what you want from and in your business. Bring the same honesty here that you brought to your life.
✦   Part Two — Dream Into Your Business   ✦

Same rules as before: read slowly, notice what expands, write the first true thing that comes.

🔥
The Work Itself
What work do you most love doing — the kind that feels almost too easy, where time disappears and something alive comes through you?
If you could spend 80% of your work time doing one thing, what would it be?
🌿
The People I Serve
Who do you feel genuinely energized serving — not just who you're good at helping, but who you actually love being in a room with?
Describe your dream client in vivid, human terms. What are they like? What are they going through? Why do you care about them?
✦
Revenue & Financial Goals
What is the number — the annual or monthly revenue — that would make you feel genuinely financially free, not just okay?
What does hitting that number actually unlock for your life? (Name what's behind the number.)
⏱️
Time & How I Work
How many hours per week do you want to work — truly work, fully engaged? What days? What does your ideal work week look like?
What would you need to stop doing or delegate for your business to feel spacious instead of suffocating?
🌍
Impact & Purpose
At the end of this year, what do you want to have contributed through your business — to your clients, to your community, to something larger?
What problem in the world makes you feel something urgent when you think about it — anger, grief, love, fire?
✨
How It Feels to Run This Business
What do you want the experience of running your business to feel like — day to day, in your body, in your spirit? Not just the results — the actual texture of it.
What one word would your True Self use to describe the business it most wants to build?

A few deeper questions to sit with before you synthesize.

4. What would you build in your business if you knew it would work — if failure wasn't a real possibility? Don't edit this. Just write what actually comes.
5. What's one thing your Survival Self has been running in your business — a pattern, a compromise, a version of you that isn't quite true — that you're quietly tired of?
6. If your True Self were running your business — fully, unapologetically — what would be different about it? What would it look like? Sound like? Feel like?
7. What does "thriving" actually look like for your business in 12 months — not just surviving, not just growing, but genuinely thriving? Describe it in vivid detail.
The question underneath the questions: Is your business designed to serve your True Self — or to keep your Survival Self safe? Both can generate revenue. Only one generates meaning.
✦   Bringing It Together   ✦
✦   Synthesis
Naming What You Actually Want
From your life dreaming — what 3–4 things showed up with the most aliveness? (One per bubble below.)
Life Want 1
Life Want 2
Life Want 3
Business Want 1
Business Want 2
Business Want 3
What is the through-line? What do your life wants and business wants have in common — what underlying need or value shows up across all of them?
What does your Survival Self most want to protect — and what would your True Self choose instead?
What is the deeper WHY underneath all of this — what is your life and your business ultimately in service of?
✦   Your Season Vision Statement
Name the season you're in — and write a short, true statement of what this season is for. Let it be honest and a little bold. You'll refine it. For now, just let it be real.
This is my season of
In my life, I am choosing
In my business, I am choosing
My motivation — the deeper why beneath it all — is
I will know I've lived this season well when
· · ·

"The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are."

Bring your Season Vision Statement to the group.
Read it out loud. Something shifts when you say it to people who believe in you.
