The philosophical framework
Understand the universal patterns of human nature and flourishing. This course gives a new lens for your purpose, your struggles, your growth.
We all want the same thing: well-being. We all share the same purpose: becoming who we're capable of being. And we're all on the same journey inside.
You'll gain:
A shared language for what it means to thrive
A map for your own growth — the Hero's Journey
The understanding that anger, anxiety, and apathy are signals, not flaws
The conviction that tending yourself isn't selfish — it's where responsibility to anyone else actually starts
Personal integration and narrative reframe
You can't change what happened. But you can change what it means. And when the meaning shifts, life changes with it.
This course takes the Hero's Journey — the story arc found in human mythology across time and geography — and explores it as a map of human development.
Guided reflection helps you make sense of your past, gain clarity about your present, and see the possibilities of your future.
You'll gain:
A higher perspective of where you've been and where you are now
Greater clarity about the beliefs, fears, and patterns you choose or decide to lose
Fresh confidence on what voices to listen to, and which to mute
A written version of your story that holds more truth, meaning, agency, and possibility
The full path: three courses, weekly live study sessions with Rachel, and the WellBeing Personal Inventory. Start Course One immediately. Course Two and Course Three are included automatically as you progress.
The daily practice
Eventually, learning has to become a way of living.
Grounded in neuroscience and biology, Tending is the method of re-parenting yourself — learning to care for your body and being with the same steady attention you'd give someone you loved.
You'll understand:
The Ten Areas of Human Needs, five essential functions (nourish, rest, exercise, maintain, eliminate), applied to both body and being
Principles for tending in ways that are mindful, realistic, and sustainable
The science underneath it — how neuroplasticity, epigenetics, and your nervous system actually work, in plain language
A way to begin almost embarrassingly small when life is already too much
What to do next
You know something's off. This shows you what.
A structured self-check, about twenty minutes, that turns "something feels off" into a clear, visual map — exactly where your needs are being met, and exactly where they aren't.
You'll get:
A visual picture of where you're already thriving, and where you're not
The SUV scale — a way to turn a vague feeling into data
A digital worksheet that narrows the possibilities down to one clear next step
Something to return to. Retake it every six to eight weeks and track your experience
If your mental health feels wobbly sometimes, that might be a good sign. It means some part of you already knows: things aren't as they should be.
Humans were not built for processed food, endless hustle, constant disconnection, and cable news at dinner.
| "It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society."

Modern life promotes productivity and positive thinking on one hand, and broadcasts a world on fire on the other. Stay upbeat and they call it toxic positivity. Express your anger or confusion and you're advised to seek professional help. Why is it so impossibly complicated?
We've forgotten what we are.
The WellBeing Project is a three-course path back.
A framework for understanding what it actually means to flourish. A story that makes sense of what's already happened to you. And a daily practice for meeting the needs underneath it all.
