About
MäksēLife is more than a goal-setting system. It’s a guide for purposeful living. When your daily actions are aligned with your vision, you stay focused on what’s important and take bold steps in that direction. Best of all, there’s no wrong way to do it. We provide the tools and support, but you are the architect of your life.
Do it your way.
Write your goals in the same place as your daily or weekly plans to stay grounded in your vision while taking bold, imperfect steps toward the life you want to create. And if you fall behind, just pick up where you left off. It’s all ok.
Get ready to see your life from a whole new perspective. Assess yourself in eight different areas to know where you’re starting from and where you want to go.
Grab your FREE Compass Assessment to get started right away.
Intent creates action and action creates change. Getting clear on your purpose keeps you anchored to your vision.
Establish a road map for the year in each area of your life. This sets the foundation for taking meaningful action toward your goals.
Break down your long-term goals into smaller actions (we’ll guide you in how to do this!). This is where incremental shifts lead to big changes.
This is the most powerful step in our system because reflection gives you space to pause, celebrate wins (even small ones!), learn from setbacks, and adjust as needed so you’re always making progress.
Want to go even deeper with training, support, and accountability? Check out ClubMäksē, our monthly membership program.
Each MäksēLife paper and digital planner provides a framework for taking action toward your goals, while allowing space for insights and discoveries. Everything you need to create meaningful change is inside.

As a Certified Life Coach and workshop facilitator, I’ve helped people create lasting change since 2005. Over the years I’ve worked with clients at every stage of life with varying levels of motivation, challenges, support, and resources…so I know first-hand what works and what doesn’t when it comes to making change happen.
What I discovered is this: the key to a more satisfying life is creating a consistent habit of how you spend your time and filling it with what matters most. Planning alone doesn’t create change, which is why our system focuses on taking action. By integrating goals with weekly tasks, our planners do something special—they continually guide you in taking bold and imperfect steps toward what you want.
It’s a process, and while goals are important, flexibility in how you get there (and the growth that happens along the way) is even more important. To guide this work we make space for reflection, discovery, setbacks, and redirection. If you need to pause, simply pick up where you left off; no judgment. Life is messy and we embrace those messy bits.
MäksēLife is a diverse and inclusive community where we embrace all people, in all seasons and stages of life, with any belief system, faith, or lifestyle, skin color, background, sexual orientation or identy, or relationship status.
Who you are, where you come from, and where you’re headed is celebrated. All of you is welcome here. We are commited to going above and beyond to support your journey and champion your progress.
Welcome to the #MäksēFam-I look forward to getting to know you!
noun: 1. energy, pep 2. courage, determination 3. know-how
To have mäksē (the phonetic spelling of moxie) is to be bold and determined. You will not let a setback stop you from trying again; you cannot be deterred.
All people, thoughts, beliefs, and feelings are accepted here because everyone’s dreams deserve to be realized. These are the values we stand by:
Adversity is often the pathway to greatness; therefore, we embrace the messy bits too. We seek to find the opportunity for growth and gratitude in all situations.
We believe every person inherently possesses the ability to create meaningful and lasting changes in their life, no matter their history or circumstance.
We believe life should feel good from the inside out, and this process will look different for everyone—continually evolving as we learn and grow through different seasons of life.
We welcome setbacks and failures, as they are as valuable in our growth + learning as wins and successes are.
We aim to remove the fear of failure and shame often associated with setting goals, by celebrating even the smallest of wins, regardless of outcomes.
Who you become in the process of working towards your goals is as important, if not more, than crossing the finish-lines of achievement.
We celebrate diversity and value the unique experiences and perspectives of all people.
We actively seek opportunities to support the environment and members of marginalized communitites in meaningful and impactful ways.
We strive to make our community feel supported in creating life change through high-quality and heart-centered products + services.
Each of us is invested in your growth. We see you and believe in you because your dreams matter.
