Beyond the Vision Board

I’m excited to invite you into something especially meaningful.

For the first time, The Reading Room will journey through a body of work written by me—Tanya Thompson, its organizer and facilitator. ✨

Beginning Wednesday, August 12, we’ll read and explore Beyond the Vision Board: Using The Storyboard Method™ to Picture & Produce Your Preferred Reality.

Over the years, I’ve watched myself—and so many people around me—work incredibly hard to change our lives. Sometimes it worked. Other times, despite all that effort, we found ourselves pulled right back toward familiar patterns. As I began paying closer attention to my own life, I could see how often the stories I carried shaped what I noticed, what I chose, and what I believed was possible. That experience taught me that our capacity for lasting change grows when we change our relationship with the stories shaping how we see ourselves and our lives.

The Storyboard Method™ was born from that realization. It begins with examining the stories already shaping where you are. From there, you can discern which stories support the reality you want to create, which ones need to be rewritten, and which new stories need room to emerge. The storyboard gives those choices a visual form—a framework for the life you are consciously choosing to build.

The ideas in these pages grew from my experience putting into practice concepts I had encountered through years of reading, study, and conversation. The book documents what happened when I began using those ideas to examine and intentionally navigate my own life.

The Storyboard Method™ remains part of my living practice—a lens I use to make conscious choices and learn from what unfolds.

THE JOURNEY
Over seven live conversations, we’ll bring the ideas in the book into conversation with our own lives—one chapter, one conversation, and one perspective shift at a time.
