Welcome to the Myth of Making It, where we unpack the bullshit and learn from individuals who are redefining success, making the most of the world we live in, and learning to lead with joy.

The Myth of Making It Method is centered around helping individuals identify where their main source of burnout is coming from and move forward with their career and personal life in alignment. Learn how to take the 4 ideal elements of any job, translate them into energy banks to borrow from, and build up skills and attributes in what you are lacking in order to eliminate overwhelm.

Join us biweekly as we create discussions around things that matter and learn to craft success as a daily ritual instead of a one time goal.

Then jump in and join the collective of artists, creatives, theatre folks, entrepreneurs, dreamers, visionaries, and anyone else who has figured out that "making it" in any industry is BS and wants a community to lean on.
