Today, you’re getting a step-by-step process for designing the life you want. 

Right now, you might think that “designing your life” sounds impossible, or that it’s something reserved for people with more time, money, or resources. 

But what if it wasn’t just a nice idea? What if it was a simple, concrete, and clear process you could start right now? 

Here’s the truth: You have the power to design the exact life you’ve always wanted and today you’re getting the blueprint to make it happen – with this episode and the free companion workbook. 

In this episode, Mel sits down with Debbie Millman. 

Debbie is “one of the most creative people in business” according to Fast Company, and is a professor who has been teaching a course on designing your life for over a decade at the School of Visual Arts. 

Graphic Design USA calls her “one of the most influential designers working today,” Harvard Business School teaches a case study on her career to all first-year students, and today Debbie is here to teach you the lessons from her renowned course on life design. 

Debbie will show you that no matter where you are right now, no matter how stuck, lost, or uncertain you feel, you can start creating a more intentional, meaningful future.
