Do Your Secret Dream in As Little As 15 Minutes A Day––Without Quitting Your Job or Sacrificing Family Dinner
Past Clients Include:
You’re triaging meetings, school schedules & care for aging parents, but when do you get time for you?
You're tired of doom scrolling on the couch instead of making progress on your creative project, business idea, or self-care.
You keep thinking: “I’m a mother, partner, employee, but who am I when I’m just ME?”
You have a Secret Dream: write a book, teach yoga, become a coach, try photography, or finally commit to a meditation practice…
You want something that's yours—a life where you wake up energized instead of running screen-to-screen.
But right now, you're stuck writing the same goals on your to-do list month after month, wondering if you're just lazy outside of work. You want more than just occasionally forcing yourself to go to pilates.
Here’s the tea...
Your Secret Dream feels hard because of one (or all!) of these Secret Fears:
The Golden Handcuffs
You toss and turn at night, worrying you have to quit your job, sacrifice your benefits, and risk your hard-earned financial security to make time to do something as "selfish" as what you really want.
The Inner Critic
Every time you think about starting, a voice whispers: "who am I to do this?" "I'll never stick with it," "no one will take you seriously," and “if you change too much, your loved ones won't relate.” Ouch.
The All-Or-Nothing Trap
You’re worried you’ll fail unless you wake up at 5am, grind until 11pm, and habit-stack like a robot. But maybe the bigger fear is actually succeeding... because what if you end up hating that reality too?
Good news:
You don't need another productivity hack, 5-year plan, or meditation app. And you certainly don't need years of talk therapy or shadow work to move forward.
Doing your Secret Dream can be WAY more doable and *gasp* fun.
Introducing:
The Compass Club™
The Compass ClubTM is not another course with endless modules to add to your already full to-do list. This is the support system you've been needing to do your Secret Dream: a judgment-free community, a science-backed and spirit-infused path, and coaching from a guide who gets it.
You'll get clear on what’s next, free up more time and energy for you, and finally create the life you secretly want, one Bite-Sized Life Experiment at a time––at your own pace.
"Emily led me on the path of believing in my abilities, narrowing in on my passions, and helping me recognize where I can carve time into my life to focus on my personal goals.
I'm now better able to recognize my magic and say YES to passion projects that bring joy into my life."
– Dawn, mom of three & horticulturalist
Imagine your life 3-6 months from now…
- In 2-3 weeks: You stop the evening doom scroll. You have a fresh, clear vision of what you really want and you're running your first Bite-Sized Life Experiment without feeling like you’ve added another chore to your to-do list.
- In 4-8 weeks: You close your laptop at 4:30pm, energized and with everything ready for tomorrow. You spend your extra time and energy making progress on your Secret Dream and then are fully present with your family––no arguing about dishes or answering late night emails.
- In 3-6 months: You have the "rocket-fuel" to actually DO the thing. Whether you've launched your business, started teaching a class, or made massive progress on your creative project, you have unstoppable momentum. You're even getting positive reviews at work, not because you're hustling harder, but because you're finally operating from a full tank.
Don't Just Take My Word For It.
What doing your Secret Dream actually looks like:
From "Shoulds" to Feel-Good Boundaries:
Jennifer S., a school therapist and mom of a toddler and a newborn, was constantly putting others' needs first. She joined The Compass Club during her mat leave to create more balance. Inside, she learned what actually lit her up and that prioritizing her own needs wasn't selfish. She set healthy boundaries that changed her family's culture and helped her feel calm and clear on what really matters––even when she returned to work.
From Busy Tech Leader to Award-Winning Coach:
Danièle, a mom of two juggling a demanding tech career and sports schedules, dreamed of pivoting into coaching. But instead of forcing a scary leap, she leaned on our support and used our flexible system to figure out how to make her dream doable even with her busy schedule.
She ran Bite-Sized Life Experiments to take on pro bono clients, and blended her new coaching skills into her manager role to mentor her direct reports. The result? She reached her required accreditation hours and won a leadership award at work, all while operating with less stress!
From Tech Burnout to Calm Momentum:
After a layoff, Celina used our safe space to calm her nervous system and figure out what's next. She said, "I had all these ideas and projects I wanted to work on, but wow... I didn't realize how stressed I was."
By running Bite-Sized Life Experiments instead of trying to "optimize herself harder," or rush into taking a new role that would burn her out again... she recovered from a decade of tech burnout and got the clarity she craved. Soon she started taking action from a much more grounded place and even got an idea of a future side business: luxury cat bandanas!
By running Bite-Sized Life Experiments, you compound wins that build your clarity, capacity, and confidence to do your Secret Dream.
You'll experiment your way to your Secret Dream through these 3 phases...
#1: Clarity on What You Want
We'll get just enough clarity on your next step and work with your intuition and Human Design to uncover your unique genius.
Next, we'll design your first neuroscience-backed Bite-Sized Life Experiment so you can figure out what actually lights you up in as little as 15 minutes, a few times a week.
🎁 Includes how to clear your to-do list overwhelm in under 10 minutes
#2: Capacity to Make Calm Changes
We'll free up MORE time and energy for you by installing science-backed, body-based practices you can do in 3 minutes or less to feel calm (yes, even while sitting in a meeting or wrangling kids at bedtime).
Neuroscience research shows that 95% of all human behavior is determined by unconscious beliefs and desires, and your nervous system is your first access point. So when we shift here, you feel more calm in the moment and end the old procrastination, self-doubt, and collapse loops for good.
🎁 Includes how to streamline your calendar, set feel-good boundaries, and infuse more magic in your everyday with soulful rituals.
#3: Confidence to Make Lasting Progress
As you compound wins, your confidence, skills, and sense of purpose will grow.
Plus, with a guide who can help you troubleshoot and a community who's cheering you on, you'll take actions that used to exhaust you without procrastinating or collapsing––like publishing a Substack or finally hosting that volunteer event.
🎁 Includes our quarterly live community challenges with fun prizes to keep your momentum going.
Before you know it, your Secret Dream is part of your every day life and you're ready to level up again. This is the system that grows with you.
What you get when you join The Compass Club™
This is the judgment-free community with access to a supportive guide where you can ditch stress and finally do your Secret Dream without quitting your job.
You get exactly what you need and nothing you don't. This isn't something you have to "keep up" with. It's a flexible menu of support designed to fit into your real life while we create more space for you.
As Jennifer A. and Nora share: The Compass Club is "a supportive, soulful space" to "consider your dreams and how you can turn them into meaningful action."
I'm Emily Schickli, and I discovered this approach the hard way (so you don't have to).
In the heart of Silicon Valley, I used the cracks of my time while working full-time in tech to figure out what my Secret Dream was—and realized I needed to do it through Bite-Sized Life Experiments.
Like you, I was wearing golden handcuffs. Making good money. Achieving everything I was "supposed" to. But every day ended with me face-planting on the couch.
You probably feel the same way. Maybe you've burned out or taken on too many projects trying to prove yourself. Maybe you're caught in a cycle of migraines or chronic pain despite all the self-care hacks that never seem to stick. That was my story for five years.
Instead of forcing a massive life overhaul, like quitting your job or moving somewhere the pace is slower, you can do your Secret Dream within the life you’ve already built.
By running Bite-Sized Life Experiments, you compound wins over time: you increase your capacity and become clearer on what actually lights you up.
Your first round of Bite-Sized Life Experiments may be all about healing your nervous system and reconnecting with your intuition, like mine were.
As you gain more capacity, your Secret Dream may come to you while sitting in a conference room or in the middle of the night. Say yes when it arrives, and you’ll unlock vital life force energy that helps you show up in the rest of your life.
After I started my Secret Dream of teaching yoga on the side, I cared less about office politics, got my projects done faster, and even got promoted.
Over time, my dream got clearer and I ran more Bite-Sized Life Experiments. Today, I blend my Masters from the University of Chicago and certifications in Life Coaching, NeuroLinguistic Programming (NLP), Shamanism, Reiki, Yoga, and Meditation to help hundreds of women like you do their Secret Dream, too.
That's all to say...
You can bring your Secret Dream to life without hustling harder or a scary leap. I'd love to walk you through it and offer a safe space when life gets messy because I'm the queen of permission slips.
Elizabeth, Yumi, and Hannah welcomed in more joy (and less stress!) by running Bite-Sized Life Experiments... and they keep renewing :)
Hannah used Bite-Sized Life Experiments to heal her nervous system as a burned out accountant and then to do her Secret Dream of teaching yoga part-time.
Hannah completed her yoga certification before joining The Compass ClubTM, but lacked the confidence to start. After focusing her Bite-Sized Life Experiments on recovering from chronic stress from a previous toxic work environment, she felt like she was ready to start thriving. An opportunity came up to teach a yoga class for free at a folk music meet-up. She said yes!
That single class generated the "rocket fuel" she needed to start making her yoga business a reality with her next set of Bite-Sized Life Experiments. With coaching from me and the encouragement of the community, she reached out to her new job’s office facilities manager and was given a free space to teach a series of classes to her coworkers!
Is The Compass Club your next aligned step?
You can do your Secret Dream without quitting your job, skipping family dinner, or waking up at dawn to optimize harder. You just need a supportive room and a guide to help you create the capacity and right path for you.
This is for you if you're:
- The Corporate Professional or Business Leader: Whether you’re managing a team, analyzing research, balancing the books, or running the calendar of an exec, you’re done feeling like you’re always stressed, always behind. You’re ready to finally make time for your self-care (and maybe even figure out what a hobby is)
- The Educator, Therapist, or Caretaker: You spend your day holding space for everyone else. By the time your day ends, your emotional battery is at zero. You’re ready to have enough energy to do the creative project or secret business idea that feeds your soul
- The Woman at a Pivot Point: You're moving through a major transition, whether that's empty-nesting, recovering from a layoff, navigating a career switch, or rebuilding after a divorce. You're "woo-curious" and ready to figure out your purpose and who you are when you're just you
This is not a fit for you if:
- You just want to "optimize" yourself harder: If you're looking for pure productivity hacks, advanced business coaching, or a program that demands accountability with 150% perfection, this isn't your vibe
- You're allergic to a little bit of magic: We frequently work with astrology, Human Design, Oracle cards, and soulful rituals to find your direction. If that sounds like nonsense to you, it won't resonate
- You want to be anonymous: The Compass Club is an intimate, high-proximity space. While it's 100% introvert-friendly with zero pressure attendance and cameras optional... If you want the vibe of hiding in the back of a lecture hall and never talking to anyone, this room isn't it
