I'm on a mission to help more people find and live their authentic life. Check out my Daily Notes where I write a short note each day about the connection of spirit, mind, body and money on the Pursuit of your authentic life.
"some people are so poor, all they have is money"

“Some people are so poor, all they have is money.”
- Bob Marley
As I think about the work I am and will be doing with LifeDesign+, I believe the majority of the people I will work with will understand that while we cannot escape the need for money and that having money is not bad, it also will not lead to a sense of purpose and fulfillment. Purpose and fulfillment are found by finding, living, and evolving with your authentic life. Through personal experience and observation, I know you can have purpose, fulfillment, and money—they are not mutually exclusive. I also know you don’t have to find purpose and fulfillment first for the money to follow—although this is one way. It is also possible to accumulate money to seek purpose and fulfillment, aligning the three. There is no “right path”. The beauty of LifeDesign+ is that the relationship will allow me to meet people where they are. They can be seeking purpose and fulfillment by moving closer to their authentic lives to align and grow their finances, or they can be the version of “poor” described by Bob Marley, having the money and looking for their authentic life. I’ll be writing more and updating my website to bring more attention to LifeDesign+ (and a couple of variations—one specifically for my financial advisor peers and another to act as an outsourced life planner for financial advisor firms) now that I have confirmed that path that I am on is the right one for the present. If you find your Self seeking to find purpose and fulfillment by moving closer to your authentic life in hopes that it aligns and improves your finances, which it will, or you already have financial success but lack purpose and fulfillment, I’m only a reply to this email or DM away to chat about LifeDesign+. I’ll be here when you’re ready. See you tomorrow and keep pursuing, JC |

Depending on what social media platforms you follow me on, you might not know that I have hosted three conversations at our house with Roman and Leo’s friends. I wrote about how the series of talks came to be over in the Omens (my version of the blogs we grew up with), so I’ll save that explanation and get right to the first three talks. While the audience for these is teenage athletes, the reality is the message applies to everyone. I’ve told them I’m pulling them in to help them with their...
A friend of mine texted me today and shared that just a few weeks before he hit a milestone birthday, he reached a goal he set years ago. “Before I turn X, I want to achieve Y.” My initial response was excitement for him. My second response was, "I wonder what would have happened if he had set a bigger goal?” I don’t think it is a coincidence that he hit the exact goal in the exact timeline that he set. Now, he didn’t need to reach a bigger goal—he’s exactly where he is supposed to be and in...
“You can fail at what you don't want, so you might as well take a chance on doing what you love.” -Jim Carrey We find comfort in failing within a system we’ve been told will take care of us. Yet, we fear failing outside the system, pursuing what is calling us. Many people have discovered that pursuing their Authentic Life ends up being more stable and “safe” than the path we’ve been told will always take care of us. Don’t focus on what failure in either option looks like; think about what...
