🌟 What We Wish We’d Known About Rewriting the Rules

Published 26 days ago • 1 min read

Unfiltered stories from those who refuse to follow the current.

Hey there, Reader!
​
When we first started stepping away from the “normal” path, we thought we had to do it all alone. We wish we’d known that:

  • You’re not crazy for wanting something outside the “safe” path — there are so many of us doing the same.
  • It feels messy before it feels clear — the uncertainty is part of the process, not a sign you’re failing.
  • Community matters — surrounding yourself with people who get it makes everything lighter and more possible.

Rewriting the rules isn’t about throwing everything out. It’s about keeping what works, letting go of what doesn’t, and creating a version of life that actually feels like yours.

We’re building a new membership to make that journey easier, and the waitlist is now open. No commitment . Just add your name to be the first to know when doors open.

What No One Tells You About the Sunday Scaries

That pit in your stomach before Monday isn’t just about ironing shirts or meal prepping — it’s a sign the system was never built for your freedom. This week’s blog digs into the truth about corporate life, why waiting for change won’t work, and how to start reclaiming your time, energy, and dreams.

Design Your Own Path​
A vision board kit helps you get clear on your dreams and keep them front and center. It’s a simple, creative way to remind yourself you don’t have to follow the script.

Fuel for Free Spirits

The truth is, you don’t have to keep playing by rules that were never made for you. Whether it’s shaking off the Sunday Scaries, rewriting the script, or finally taking that first bold step toward freedom, you’ve got what it takes. And remember, you don’t have to figure it out alone. We’re building a community for free spirits like you who are ready to create life on their own terms.

Voices from Upstream Unfiltered stories from those who refuse to follow the current. Hey there, Reader! This week on Flying Upstream, we’re pulling back the curtain on a story most of us dream about: winning the lottery. Our guest, Peter John Mather, lived the fantasy—he became a millionaire at a young age. But what followed wasn’t a fairy tale. Instead, sudden wealth spiraled into addiction, isolation, and rock bottom. Peter’s story is a reminder that the “jackpots” we chase—money, status,...
