Stories from Jon and Missy Butcher’s students

I was riddled with self-doubt. Pressure consumed me. Felt I was never doing (well) enough, and wondering why on earth I was working so hard and not getting anywhere near how I truly wanted to live my life - or so I thought... I went through the program and OMG, for 9 out of the 12 categories I actually am already living my vision! I just didn't see it... Getting rid of this self-limiting belief of not being or working or focusing or... "enough" was HUGE!

I finally feel like I'm paying attention to my life, all areas of it... I feel like we're falling in love over and over again... it truly changed my perspective of life and made me realise all the power I have to become who I really want to be.

Me: a young woman with a lot of trauma and chronic illness, in a wheelchair, lives on government money but almost not enough to buy food. I was insecure and spent my day doing nothing important. Now, after this Lifebook experience, I have less medication for my pain, I am moving toward my work as a real artist, I can walk (before 5 minutes) now for 30 minutes and I am determent to get out of my wheelchair.

I feel like it's a rollercoaster ride and so far we've been climbing that first big hill and are now poised to zoom ahead.

Once I shined the light of awareness on the different aspects of myself discussed through this program, there was no unseeing or going back to old Sarah. I am more than motivated - I feel empowered, genuinely excited for my journey ahead in developing myself to truly embody the expression of my life vision.

I had thought that I had been pretty well cohesive as I made my plans for re-creating my life (at 70 years old with hopes of retiring someday), but I quickly discovered that the truth of the situation was a bit different than that... I am extremely grateful for the clarity of vision for my life that I developed while immersed in the Lifebook process.

This program is an invaluable gift to the world, you so generously share your truth, your experiences, your dreams... For me, leaning into each of the 12 aspects of life was like painting a mandala, for each of us its own unique picture.

My world fell apart while doing Lifebook. Started in 2018 and by 2021 my wife left, I was laid off from my fun post retirement job... I have come back stronger, healthier, with a more amazing life in ALL 12 areas than I ever thought were possible.

I was frustrated by but somewhat resigned to, my husband's frequent negative criticism of me, often amounting to full-scale emotional abuse... I'm more hopeful than I have been in a long time that we can both be happier and more fulfilled as individuals and as a couple.

I stopped working in my career when she was born and now am thinking about what I am going to do with the next stage of my life. This process helped me clarify and unite my goals to start working towards a new career that I can balance with the rest of my 12 categories.

I was struggling every day with my emotional well being and self worth, feeling as though I was barely surviving... I feel better about myself and my life through working on my dreams each day while still embracing the moment and enjoying what's in my life right now.

So many other life experiences occurred that unfortunately derailed me not just from my goals but from life itself. Must say, it was a very dark place and for quite a long time! Thanks to LIFEBOOK, I can happily say that I am able to DREAM AGAIN.
