Reinvention Workbook

How I picked myself back up from the floor.

I built a workbook for myself in the year I started over from nothing.

I was 31. I had just left a startup that nearly broke me. No partner. No clarity. At a father’s house, I was sleeping in because I couldn’t afford anywhere else.

I needed a system to rebuild. So I made one.

Seven days. Seven prompts. The actual questions I had to answer to find my way back to myself.

I’m giving it to paid subscribers of In the Mirror — free.
