THE PERMISSION SHIFT · A SIX-WEEK LIVE COURSE

 

Stop Talking Yourself Out of the Life You Want

You know that little spark of excitement when you imagine doing something wonderful?

Maybe it's taking the trip. Starting the business. Falling in love again. Writing the book. Making a bold career move. Or finally doing something just because it sounds like fun.

For a moment, you can almost see it happening.

And then your sensible side shows up.

That's too expensive. You're too old. What if it doesn't work? Who do you think you are?

And just like that, you've talked yourself out of something you were excited about.

What if some of the limits you've accepted aren't limits at all?

What if they're simply beliefs you've repeated so often that you've stopped questioning them?

And what if your future holds possibilities you haven't even allowed yourself to imagine?

Welcome to The Permission Shift.

Six weeks to question the old rules, change the conversation you're having with yourself, and start saying YES to more of what you want.

 

What if some of the rules you're following aren't rules at all?

What if they're expectations you absorbed years ago, assumptions you've never questioned, or stories you've repeated so often that they feel like facts? They can be hard to spot because they sound perfectly reasonable in your own voice.

    • I’ll take the trip when I find someone to go with.

    • I have a good job. It would be foolish to start over now.

    • People like me don’t start businesses.

    • I’d love to pitch the idea, but who am I to ask?

    • I should be grateful for what I have. Why do I keep wanting something more?

Who decided all that? And more importantly, do you still agree?

The Permission Shift is your invitation to start making those decisions for yourself.

We Have Different Language Around Here

 

 We believe the future holds possibilities we haven't even imagined yet.

Most of us have spent years practicing a very different kind of language.

Be realistic. Don't get your hopes up. That's too risky. You're too old. What will people think?

We've repeated those phrases so often that they sound like facts. And without realizing it, we've let them make some pretty important decisions for us.

 

Imagine becoming someone who...

  • Gets excited about an idea without immediately finding ten reasons it won't work.
  • Walks into a room full of strangers because there might be someone wonderful to meet.
  • Makes the bold ask instead of rejecting herself before anyone else gets the chance.
  • Starts making plans based on what excites her, not just what needs her attention.
  • Looks at the next ten years with genuine anticipation.

That's the kind of thinking we're going to practice.

Six weeks from now, you could have more than a new perspective.

You could have a reservation made, a conversation started, an application submitted, a new skill underway, a trip on the calendar, or the first real steps toward something you've wanted for years.

YOUR SIX-WEEK PERMISSION SHIFT 

WEEK 1: PERMISSION TO WANT

What do you actually want?

Rediscover the dreams, interests, and desires you've pushed aside. Give yourself permission to want things before figuring out how to make them happen.

WEEK 2: PERMISSION TO QUESTION

Who made the rules you're living by?

Identify the assumptions and expectations that have been making decisions for you. Discover which ones are worth questioning and which you're ready to leave behind.

WEEK 3: PERMISSION TO IMAGINE

Give your imagination another assignment.

You're already good at imagining everything that could go wrong. Learn to interrupt that thinking and give the wonderful possibilities equal consideration.

WEEK 4: PERMISSION TO BEGIN

What would it take?

Stop waiting until you have everything figured out. Learn to turn exciting ideas into practical experiments and first steps.

WEEK 5: PERMISSION TO BE SEEN

What if you made the ask?

Stop rejecting yourself before anyone else gets the chance. Practice expressing what you want, asking boldly, and becoming more comfortable being seen trying.

WEEK 6: PERMISSION TO WANT MORE

What if this is just the beginning?

Bring everything together into a personal 90-day plan. Build the habits that keep you curious, optimistic, and actively pursuing what matters to you.

THIS IS FOR YOU IF...

You can love the life you've built and still want to add something wonderful to it.

  • You've spent years taking care of responsibilities and you're ready to make more room for what you want.
  • You have dreams, ideas, and interests that keep getting pushed aside by practical considerations.
  • You're navigating a new chapter of life and want to discover what else might be possible.
  • You want more experiences, friendships, adventures, or personal growth, but you're not sure where to begin.
  • You have a good life in many ways, yet you can't shake the feeling that there's more you'd love to experience.

The Permission Shift is about giving yourself a say in what happens next.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS 

What if you started having a different conversation with yourself?

 

What if you gave your ideas the same energy you give your objections? What if you let yourself get excited before figuring out all the details? What if you stopped assuming the answer would be no?

Around here, we're wildly optimistic about what's possible and strategic about how we pursue it.

We get our hopes up. We ask bold questions. We entertain delicious possibilities. And we're curious enough to find out what happens.

 

Want to start thinking this way, too?

 

In The Permission Shift, we'll question the old rules, interrupt the thinking that keeps you stuck, and build a new vocabulary for the life you want to live.

Because changing the way you talk to yourself can change what you're willing to believe, try, and pursue.

Say YES!

 

Hi, I’m Kim Peek.

 

I’m a Kansas City-based adventurer, storyteller and enthusiastic collector of experiences. I run, bike, kayak, travel and explore, usually with more curiosity than speed.

After breast cancer, the end of a 32-year marriage, and an empty nest, I wondered: what do I really want? 

Sunset paddle boarding eventually led me to kayak 340 miles down the Missouri River, ride my bike across four states, and to camp, hike  and experience adventures that would have never been on my radar.

I couldn't have planned most of these experiences because I didn't even know they were possibilities. One YES introduced me to people, ideas, and opportunities that led to another. And another. That's what I want you to experience. Not my version of adventure, but the possibilities that begin appearing when you stop automatically ruling things out.

I created The Permission Shift to help you question the old rules, take your dreams seriously (YES, especially the dreams you've barely dared to say out loud), and discover what happens when you stop talking yourself out of them.

 

Let's Do This!
