4 weeks, Live & On-demand · Starts Sunday, November 1
Before you set the goal, find out whose it is.
Most New Year goals will be forgotten and never reached, because most of them are borrowed. From a parent, a friend, a boss, or even a stranger on a social feed. In this 4-week program, you learn to hear your own voice first, see where you stand, and find which life domains need your focus right now. By the end, you choose a path to live with more authenticity.

Every January starts the same way.
You open a fresh page. The goals come fast. Get promoted. Save more. Look a certain way. They sound right.
But whose voice wrote them? If you can't tell, you are setting goals for someone else's life, and working hard to reach them.
The goal is the easy part. Hearing yourself is the work.

The engine
Powered by the Afterglow method.
A modern method for living with authenticity.
When you experience Flow, you lose track of time doing something you love. Right after, there is a short window. The noise in your head turns down. What's left is your own voice. Afterglow gives you one good question to ask it, before the window closes.
Flow
Flow is when you lose track of time doing something you love. You make it happen. Dancing, running, painting, playing, cooking with your hands.
Listen
Right after, while you're still glowing, write one answer. What did you hear just now? No right answer. Only yours.
Keep
Keep what is yours. Let the rest go. Then live like you heard it. That's week four.
Everyone has a doorway into Flow. If you look up and more time has passed than you thought, that's yours.
Different doors. Same room on the other side.
Patent pending · The Thrive Assessment
Know where you stand before you aim.
Thrive is a patent-pending Personal Life Intelligence Assessment. In about 10 minutes it maps 11 areas of your life and shows which ones need you most right now. It is a mirror, not a quiz.
Many assessments treat every area of life as equally important. Thrive does not. You rank what matters most to you first, so your results are weighted by your own values.
The 11 areas
Work and money
2- Career & Impact
- Finance
Relationships
3- Love & Intimacy
- Family & Roots
- Friends & Community
Health
2- Physical Health
- Mental Health
Inner life
4- Personal Growth
- Spirituality & Meaning
- Nature & Environment
- Fun & Recreation
You get access to the Thrive Life Assessment and a report of where you stand in life, including your Thrive Score and Balance Score.

In their words
From people I've coached.
"Helli came into my life at a time when I felt completely lost, caught between work and life, unsure of which direction to go. She gave me her time so generously, held my hand through it, and showed me tools I could actually use in moments of crisis and overwhelm. Thanks to her, I learned how not to get lost in the fog of life's twists and turns, and how to find my way out of the storms. I'm deeply grateful for everything she's given me."
"Helli helped me see my challenges from a perspective I had never considered before. She helped me feel less afraid, believe in myself more, and step outside my comfort zone. One of the biggest things I took away from my coaching sessions with Helli was learning about the Wheel of Life and understanding how to grow in all areas of my life. I started coaching with the goal of becoming more productive and working more, but what I gained went far beyond work and career. I learned to enjoy the journey of life, personal growth, and new beginnings, and to treat myself to a cup of coffee whenever things didn't go as planned."
Questions
What counts as Flow?
Anything you make happen, where you lose track of time. Dancing, running, painting, playing an instrument, cooking. Watching someone else do it does not count. Neither do games, scrolling, or TV.
I don't have a doorway yet.
That's fine. Week one helps you find one. Start with something you do with your hands or your body, and keep your phone in your pocket.
What happens if I miss a live group coaching session?
You will have access to the recorded session on demand. But we highly recommend adding the group session dates to your calendar, as they are your chance to ask questions directly from Helli.
How much time per week?
A 60 minute group call, plus a minimum of 60 minutes per week for Flow sessions and reflections.
What if I find out this is not for me?
If you find this is not for you by the end of week two, you can receive a full refund.
Is this therapy?
No. Before the Goal is coaching, not therapy. It is not medical care or mental health treatment. If you are looking for that kind of support, please reach out to a licensed professional.
