Part 1: The River Moment
What situation in my life right now feels like a riverbank moment — where I’ve sent everything ahead but still feel stuck alone?
Describe it honestly. What am I bracing for?
Who will I be if I don’t go back? Who am I becoming if I go forward?
Part 2: Armor and Identity
What behaviors or roles have I used as armor that no longer feel sustainable?
How has that armor protected me — and how might it now be limiting me?
When did my title become armor?
And what finally forced me to lay it down?
Part 3: When the Hustle Runs Out
Have I ever experienced a moment where what used to work (overthinking, overworking, outperforming) suddenly stopped working?
What did I learn about myself in that moment?
What name have I been trying to earn?
And what if the name that matters most—the one that frees me—can’t be earned at all?
If I’m exhausted from trying to be someone online, maybe it’s time to ask who am I… when no one’s watching?
Part 4: Scar vs. Signal
Think of a physical or emotional scar you carry. What does it remind you of?
Has that memory shifted in meaning over time? If not, what would it take to reframe it as a mark of survival, not shame?
Part 5: Becoming vs. Performing
What’s one part of my life today that feels like performance — something I’m doing to prove instead of become?
What might it look like to stop curating and start living from who I really am?
What scar do I carry that once felt like the end…but now whispers of a beginning?
Part 6: From Speed to Intention
In what area of my life have I confused movement with meaning?
How might slowing down actually help me find my direction?
What name tag have I been wearing? Who gave it to me?
And what if the name that matters most came after the break?
Part 7: Naming What’s Emerging
If your current chapter had a name — not the one fear gave me, but the one healing is whispering — what might it be?
Where am I leading fast when I should be leading deep?
Where have I confused motion with meaning?
And what would it look like to move with quiet, purposeful clarity instead?
What if the limp I’ve been hiding is actually the name I’ve been growing into?
You are not defined by what broke you.
You are being reintroduced —
by what you lived through, by what you survived,
by the limp you no longer have to hide.
This isn’t the end of your story.
It’s the beginning of who you’re finally becoming.
