A Reflective Journal for Becoming Something More

Rewriting the Story You’re Living

Rewriting the Story You’re Living is a guided reflection journal for people who feel a quiet pull toward something more, even if they’re not sure what that “more” is yet.

If you’ve spent years building a career or identity that once fit but no longer feels complete, this journal offers a space to pause and reflect. The prompts help you step back from roles and expectations and reconnect with what matters to you now.

We’re offering this journal for free as a starting point. It’s meant to be used slowly and honestly, and it pairs naturally with the Rewriting Your Story experience when you’re ready to continue.

MEET YOUR COACH

Hey, I'm Lauren

I loved my faculty position when I started, but toward the end of my 14 years in academia, I was burnt out, underpaid, and bitter. I loved working with students but higher ed and my institution weren't what they once were. I was proud of my academic career but knew I was ready for a new chapter. And this has been the BEST chapter yet!

Started Grantibly (our consulting business) part-time while I was a faculty member

Built the business to be sustainable

Increased my income immediately after leaving my tenured position and now have more than doubled my income doing work I love

Now I spend my days supporting clients who are doing exciting work that makes a difference - and our works helps them do MORE good in the world

MEET YOUR COACH

Hey, I'm Angelika

I loved my faculty position when I started it and I love it even more now that I am a consultant. I've always had an entrepreneurial spirit and Grantibly gave me an outlet to exercise that. Becoming a consultant made me a better professor. I am more efficient in my work and I have brought that entrepreneurial spirit into my classes - and my students love it!

We started Grantibly as a side business and I continue to operate it that way

I have learned how to avoid overwork, streamline my courses, and focus on what matters most - student learning and success

The mindset shifts I have made as a consultant have helped my students in their own lives through sharing my experiences and lessons

I love the work we do with our consulting clients - we help them do MORE good and I love that mission
