✨ NEW FREE EMAIL COURSE ✨
Explore your desires and deepen your self-understanding.
A free, five-day email course designed to help you connect with the inner signals guiding you toward self-discovery and growth.
Have you ever felt like you’re living on autopilot? Maybe you’ve wondered if you’ve lost touch with what really matters to you. Or perhaps you’ve sensed a longing for something more, but you’re not sure quite what.
If any of that feels familiar, this free five-day email course is for you.
Welcome to Five Days with Desire: a gentle, guided invitation to explore your inner longings with curiosity and compassion.
In this course, desire refers to those inner states and signals that guide us toward fulfilling something deeply meaningful—the longings that inspire personal growth, creativity, and self-expression.
Desires shape our lives and choices—but how often do we pause to truly understand them? What might your desires reveal about who you are and what you value? And what could unfold as you deepen your relationship with them?
With desire as our portal, this course will help you reconnect with what truly matters to you—and in the process, reconnect with yourself.
All you need is an email address, a little time, and some ongoing curiosity.

❤️🔥 CURIOUS ABOUT YOUR DESIRES?
Since you’re here, I’ll assume you’ve sensed a desire for something more—whether that’s more meaning, more creativity, more connection, or simply more clarity.
Some of your desires may feel clear and achievable, while others feel vague, impossible, or even inappropriate.
Your desires likely span many aspects of your life—from work and relationships to personal growth and creative expression.
You may have also noticed that ignoring or misunderstanding your desires leads to frustration, self-doubt, or just feeling stuck.
If any of that sounds familiar, you’re in the right place.
This course is all about cultivating a more conscious, curious, and compassionate relationship with your desires.
While I can’t promise that all your desires will be fulfilled in five days, I can promise that your relationship with them—and with yourself—will feel fresher, clearer, and more alive. And that’s no small thing.
Perhaps you even notice a gentle tug of desire to say “yes” to this course?
If so, trust that instinct. It’s free, it’s only five days, and I know you’ll be glad you did.

Hello there, I’m Stephen! 👋
A curious, big-hearted, dachshund-loving, personal coach living in New York City and hailing from a tiny British island called Guernsey. 🇬🇬
I’m also someone who’s spent years getting curious about desire: how it shapes our lives, and how easily we lose touch with it.
Following my desires has led me on many wonderful adventures. From coming out 🏳️🌈 and moving countries, to starting a candle business, stopping drinking alcohol, and navigating the ups and downs of personal growth. Each chapter has carried its own tangle of purpose, joy, fear, and struggle.
Through all of this, I’ve noticed we each have patterns in how we relate to desire: sometimes we ignore or doubt our desires, and other times we obsess over them or feel stuck about which ones to trust. Most of us do a messy mix of all the above.
Yet rarely do we slow down to get to know our desires. How often do we understand what they’re really trying to show us about who we are and what matters most?
That’s exactly why I created this course: to invite you into a more curious relationship with your desires and yourself.
As you explore your desires, you’re not only uncovering what matters most to you but also meeting the many parts of yourself that are eager to be understood. And with greater self-understanding, you can untangle what truly matters and navigate your life with more flexibility and ease.

🧐 WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT?
I’ve designed this course to be fun, informative, and interactive!
Over five days, you’ll explore desire through daily emails that include:
Informative ideas to shift your perspective.
Guided practices to help you sense, clarify, and express your desires.
Journal prompts to support deeper reflection.
This is all a gentle invitation into a different way of being with yourself—one where there’s nothing to do or get right. Instead, we’ll simply slow down, linger a little, and encourage being open to what you learn.
The five-days cover:
Sensing desires: Connecting with the many desires within you.
Clarifying desires: Learning to clarify and distinguish different types of desires.
Welcoming concerns: Exploring fears and concerns with curiosity.
Exploring expression: Taking balanced and thoughtful action.
Creating space: Building ongoing curiosity and self-awareness.
You’ll also receive web-based versions of each day’s content for ongoing access at your own pace.
I respect how busy you already feel, and know the last thing needed is another laborious task to add to the to-do list. Any amount of inward focus on your desires will serve their continued unfolding, and support you toward deeper self-understanding and integration.
If you feel dread at the thought of starting, it might signal a deeper desire to do less right now. You might even honor that by giving yourself permission to return to this course when you're ready.
