The Fire Starter: How To Make Shift Happen

A short course for people who are done feeling stuck (but not sure where to begin)

You know something needs to change — but you’re not sure what, or how, or where to even start.

You’ve been strong for everyone else. You’ve kept things going. But now?
You’re flat. Foggy. Maybe even a bit lost.
And deep down, you know: this isn’t it.

The Fire Starter is your first real step toward clarity and confidence — no fluff, no overwhelm, no pretending.

This is where you:

• Get honest about how you really feel

• Reconnect with what you actually want

• Take one small action that gets you moving

• Learn how to quiet that voice in your head that says “you can’t”

With short videos, powerful journal prompts, and real-life tools, you’ll go from spiralling to steady in under an hour.

This isn’t about changing your whole life overnight.
It’s about lighting the spark that starts the change.

How To Use The Workbook

This workbook is your space to reflect, explore, and reconnect with yourself — without pressure or perfection.

Each section of the course is supported by a guided exercise, journal prompts, or body-awareness tools designed to help you make real progress in a short amount of time.

You can work through it one module at a time, or go at your own pace — there’s no “right” way to do this.

What matters most is that you’re honest with yourself as you go.

Print it out, scribble in it, or type directly into the digital file.
Highlight the bits that land. Skip what doesn’t (for now).
This is your journey — your fire. Use the workbook to keep it lit.

Hey — welcome to Module 1: Feel the Feels.

Now before you roll your eyes or think I’ve gone all fluffy, let me say this:

This isn’t about wallowing.
This is about getting real — because you can’t change your life if you’re not honest about how it feels right now.

In this section, we’re going to stop spinning, pause for a minute, and actually check in with yourself.

You’ll do something I call “The Feels Dump” — which is exactly what it sounds like. And then we’ll go a little deeper by noticing where those emotions show up in your body.

You don’t need to overthink it. Just be curious. Be honest. And most importantly, be kind to yourself while you do it.

This is the first step in shifting things — from the inside out.

Let’s get into it.

Welcome to Module 2 — and yep, we’re digging.

Before you can get clear on what you do want, you’ve got to look at what’s not working. What’s draining you? What’s making you restless, resentful, or shut down?

This is the time to get honest — not dramatic. Just truthful.

We’re going to use a really simple technique that helps you get to the root of those “meh” feelings — by asking why. Again and again.

It's a bit like channelling your inner toddler — but I promise, it works.

Ready? Let’s dig.

You made it to Module 3 — nice work.

So now that you’ve got a clearer sense of what’s not working… we’re going to flip it. Literally.

This module is all about taking what you don’t want and using it to uncover what you do.

This is where we bring in a bit of low-key CBT-style thinking — nothing heavy, just honest re-framing that helps you start spotting possibilities instead of problems.

It’s simpler than it sounds. And powerful when you let it land.

Let’s flip it.

Here’s where we stop thinking and start moving.

In Module 4, you’ll take everything you’ve been working through and choose one small thing — just one — that you can act on.

This isn’t about leaping off cliffs or quitting your job tomorrow. It’s about building belief through small, doable, very real action.

Because movement creates momentum. And momentum changes everything.

Let’s go make a move.

This final module is all about helping you stay steady when the wobbles hit.

Because the moment you start to shift, your inner critic will start piping up. That’s normal — and we’re not here to silence her, but we can turn the volume down.

You’ll learn two simple, powerful tools:

• Box breathing to calm your system

• Balancing statements to help you challenge the doubt spiral

You’ll also get some journal prompts that bring it all together.

You’ve done the work — now let’s help it stick.

You’ve made it. Six modules, real reflection, and a whole lot of truth-telling.

This final section is all about noticing — what’s shifted, what’s surfaced, and where you want to go next.

You’ll look back at what’s come up for you, take stock of your progress (yes, even the wobbly bits), and explore some next steps — whether that’s revisiting a section, starting something small, or diving deeper.

There are also a few grounding tools here if you’re still feeling stuck — because that happens, and it doesn’t mean you’ve failed.

Take your time with this part. Be proud of what you’ve started.

And when you’re ready to keep the fire going — I’ll be right here.
