39. How to Create Your Life By Design

Dig Deeper

What if the life you're living by default could become the life you're crafting by design?

And what if the difference between drifting and deliberately creating your future comes down to one intentional weekend with the person who matters most?

In this solocast, I share what happened when my partner Gillian and I carved out a weekend to create our 'Life by Design' plan. It wasn't about rigid blueprints or perfect forecasts. It was about getting intentional with what we want to create together, and how we might navigate the messiness of making it happen.

You'll discover:

• Why life by design is the antidote to life by default, and how to shift from one to the other
• The simple process we used to map out our future without losing space for spontaneity
• How clustering your ideas into themes makes overwhelming possibilities feel manageable
• Why reflecting on what's worked (and what hasn't) is crucial before planning what's next
• How having a shared plan makes everyday decisions easier and less energy-draining
• Why financial planning isn't just about spreadsheets, but about creating freedom for what matters
• The tools and templates you can use to start your own life by design journey

Whether you're wrestling with feeling like life is happening to you rather than being shaped by you, curious about how to align your daily choices with your bigger vision, or simply wanting to create something meaningful with your partner, this conversation offers a practical glimpse into what's possible when you get deliberate about designing the life you actually want to live.
