The Becoming You method of purpose-discovery is based on the premise that there’s one wild and precious life that we’re each meant to live. But it also acknowledges that there’s real life out there.

Real life is where we too often cede our hoped-for dreams of purpose and joy to the many seemingly inescapable demands, constraints, obstacles and challenges that come with work and family and well, everything. 

Real life is why so many of us end up living in “The Velvet Coffin,” a term Suzy uses to  describe the comfortable accommodation we can make with a life on pause. “It’s OK,” we tell ourselves when that happens. “Sure, I’m making some compromises. Sure, I’m postponing stuff. But this is how it has to be right now.” 

Right now can last a long time, can’t it? 

It doesn’t have to be that way.

Tune into Becoming You this week as Suzy talks about how and why we end up in the Velvet Coffin – sometimes without even noticing it – and best of all, how we can push our way out before it’s too late. (PS: It’s never too late.)
