Good Morning, Reader

I want to explain some of my own hurdles in making transformation, and how we address such hurdles in The Day 1. Experience.

So, the first hurdle is probably the one you might be the most familiar with. This is the one where you set out to:

• Lose weight
• Start a business
• Begin exercising
• Stop drinking
• Leave a long-term relationship

Or any of those things, and you are INSTANTLY MET WITH DOUBT FROM ALL OF YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS.

Fuck those people, right? But here's the thing- there's science to this.

Human brains feel very unsettled when other humans become something different than what they are used to, because "if YOU change, who will I be?!"

When I was making my own transformation, I was met first and foremost with a bunch of "who are you's" from my good friends and family. They would attempt to sabotage my growth by asking me to skip runs, or to go out drinking when I didn't want to, or simply to insist I remain hateful and oppositional, because that's the identity I carried for so long.

I even had a friend yell and scream at me when I wouldn't participate in victim language about why "those people over there" are such pieces of shit.

Necessary Part 1. of Transformation: Community

In The Day 1. Experience you will have a space with a group of people who are committed to saying "nice to meet you" each day. MEANING, they do not hold you to the person you were yesterday.

How exhausting is it to change your mind about something and then have everyone in your life come out of the woods with "BUT YOU SAID THIS THAT ONE TIME IN APRIL OF 1994."

How about "go fuck yourself?"

I just had this happen to me this past week- a person reminding me of all the times I was "this" or "that" or I said "this" or "that," all to verify the idea he has in his own mind about who I am.

But, you know, whatever. People are entitled to hold on to whatever version of you they created in their minds and there's absolutely nothing you can do to change it. It's just disrespectful as all hell to the person attempting to grow.

Necessary Part 2. of Transformation: Information

OK- so here's another piece-

Your brain does this thing when you try to make any change called "resistance."

It's where it convinces you that actually, you don't really want this. You're better off the way you are! And this is "wasting so much of your time." None of this will "ever work for me."

"This is all so senseless."

"This is all so stupid."

"This is NOT WHO I AM! This will take me AWAY FROM MYSELF!"

In their book The Tools, Phil Stutz and Barry Michels explain the first tool (which you'll learn in Day 1.) called "The Reversal of Desire," and then, they take a good chunk of pages to negate every point that the reader has about why it won't work.

Society, culture, and the human ego go to great lengths to defend itself. You are likely unaware of all of that, so when you go to make change, you fail at it because you are not keen to SEE those forces working against you. So, I built a WHOLE COURSE to get you out from under those oppressive forces.

It will shock you how much you actually do not know about yourself.

Necessary Part 3. of Transformation: Showing Up Daily

I love this graphic. I did not create it, but I use it constantly. Kudos and thanks to Sarah Arnold Hall for the great image:

​

​

We follow THIS method in The Day 1. Experience.

Every day, we show up, and we view it as the FIRST day. This is the method I use as a distance runner. I don't plan out my training weeks or months in advance. I do it day by day, mile by mile. I built my business very much the same way, in micro steps.

(Actual micro steps.)

This method seems simple, right? But friend, you might resist this with every fiber of your being.

In our experience together, you WILL get used to being the above graphic.

When you are wired for perfectionism, all-or-nothing, or "the one big effort," you will fall into stagnancy and analysis paralysis.

However, when you train your neurology and nervous system to just show up, which I will teach you, it will SPILL OVER into all areas of your life. You will actually be re-wiring your neural circuitry.

Necessary Part 4. of Transformation: Curiosity

The last piece I'll mention in this email (there are more) is the infinite possibility in the "what you don't know."

In The Day 1. Experience we understand that what we "know" is the exact recipe for our current life.

For example, a lot of people "know how to lose weight," yet, they don't lose weight.

So actually, they don't know how to lose weight. They know how to remain overweight.

"I know all I have to do is 'x' 'y' 'z' and things will change."

Yes, that's likely true. But do you know what subconscious program is running to keep you from doing 'x' 'y' 'z'?

THIS is what you'll learn in the course, and on our Saturday calls. Those are magic. ✨

​

SO, I have to tell you, this experience is not just some bullshit I threw together. I have been working on it daily since June of 2022. It is fantastic. And we begin our last and final cohort (for an indefinite amount of time) beginning April 1.​
​

THIS IS FOR YOU IF:

• You identify as a woman
• You've been stagnant for a long time
• You have "tried everything else"
• You feel "stuck" and don't know why

​

THIS IS NOT FOR YOU IF:

• You're rigid
• You want someone to do it for you
• You'd rather argue than learn about yourself

One Payment: https://getthefuckoff.ck.page/products/day-1-coaching​

Two Installments:​ https://getthefuckoff.ck.page/products/day-1-coaching-two-installments​

​

You will LEARN:

• How to get yourself into motion after years of paralysis or stagnancy
• How your operating system works
• The balance of how to know "when to push" and "when you cut yourself some slack"
• How to create a magical life with your words and your thoughts
• THE WHY BEHIND ALL OF THE PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT CONCEPTS (I find that if you don't give people the science behind why we do things, they won't do it.)
• How to exist NOW so you don't continue to lose weeks or months of your life waiting for the BIG MOMENT when everything changes.

Here's another testimonial for Day 1.

​

If you have been referred to me by a current Day 1. member, you can send me an email and ask about my referral discount. Just let me know who sent you!

​

This will be the LAST cohort of The Day 1. Experience.

Following July 1, I will be closing Day 1. indefinitely to focus on marathon training and other endeavors.

What will be a year-long experience has touched many lives, and I am not sure anything like this space, along with the loving and supportive people inside of it, will ever exist in this way ever again.

I highly encourage you to join us now.

I do hope you'll join us. Email me if you have any questions at all.
