Respectfully...get off your butt! (a little tough love + consistent community)
Truth is: you've consumed enough inspo. Here's a space to use it.
đđ»ââïž Raise your hand if Iâm describing you. Last month:
you heard that a friend of a friend secured a location to open their dream board game cafeâŠand were a little envious
you subscribed to 3 more newsletters that genuinely inspired you (but didnât read a single word)
you researched âhow to start a podcastâ for weeks as a way to procrastinate doing it (this was us!)
If you resonated with any of the above, Iâm about to call you out (lovingly): You donât need more inspiration. Youâre got plenty of it! What you need is a place to do something with those swirling thoughts.
For $8/month, this is your place.
A monthly LIVE workshop where youâre guided to step into your most limitless self and actually do the thing, consistently, month after month. I call it Possibilities Club!
Join us next on April 16th 12-1pm PST! (scroll down to âHow do I join?â to sign up)
An aligned community of nearly 250 stable(ish)-career professionals who feel the pressure to walk a linear life pathâŠbut are finally reigniting their creative spark without starting over (and a 24/7 community chat to connect and co-create with them)
Tiny stories, experiments, and tools from the journeys of fellow multi-passionate creatives (part-time and full-time artisans and storytellers alike)
Early podcast drops + behind-the-scenes from our Possibilities Club Podcast (launching later this year!)
Translation: Youâre paying the price of a latte to finally follow-through on âsomeday".
What happens inside a Possibilities Club?
You donât just come sit and listen. You have a pen and paper in hand (maybe even some improv props), and youâre scribbling, visualizing, moving your body, giggling, scoping, draftingâŠ
Itâs a playful, interactive, and productive hour where you:
bring clarity to your squishy ambitions
experiment with new ways of thinking about your current/ future self
set aside your everyday identity and step into an open-minded, goofy, and expansive version of you
create a roadmap that describes exactly where to focus your energy in the next 30, 60, 90 days
and, give/receive support from this community
â Join us for our next one on April 16th 12-1pm PST! (scroll down to âHow do I join?â to sign up)
Last yearâŠ.when we ran Possibilities Club in-person (twice) in the San Francisco Bay Area:
one person (who arrived feeling like they had no time/energy outside their 9-5 job for their personal creative ventures) ended up designing a daily practice to finally start a dream project: to direct a sci-fi short film;
another person used the exercises to deeply examine the next chapter of her life, which consisted of big life transitions including sunsetting a multi-decade career supporting large tech clients to become a full-time fine artist;
yet another creative outlined the stepping stones of pursuing their dream of designing and curating a museum to celebrate the Filipino heritage and diaspora
And, honestly, I couldnât have predicted these stories! I was so moved. And, hereâs proof from attendees that this wasnât just another âinspoâ moment to log and forget:
âThe workshop was really great to build accountability. I particularly liked the part with the action plan. The questions were so good!â - Mia L.
âThe imaginary self icebreaker was my favorite because it allowed me to be silly and creative. I felt less judgmental towards myself which helped me feel more connected with my inner child/younger self. I felt more free and authentic afterwards.â - Kam D.
âThe workshop was unique and personally challenging because it forced me to quiet down my inner critic while also tickling my creative brain. It also made it apparent that we are all trying to figure out our lives too which was comforting.â - Janelle V.
Ok, you say:
How do I join?
Step 1. Upgrade your membership.
Upgrading your membership to monthly paid ($8/mo) or yearly paid ($6.67/mo) will unlock access to monthly workshops and more.
Fun fact: Possibilities Club was $35 a pop last year. But, this time around, weâre focused on accessibility (hence: itâs virtual and a fraction of the price with lots of supportive and community-centered add-ons).
Step 2. Add each Possibilities Club to your calendar.

With zeal and gratitude for this creative life,
Vanessa Li
