Before the Session
- Go through the journey yourself first
- Send your client the invite link from your guide dashboard
- Ask them to complete it before your session (15–25 min)
- Review their shared responses in your dashboard beforehand
- Check your AI session prep for conversation angles and patterns
- Use journey comparison if they have earlier journeys — see what's shifting
- Review AI check-in drafts — available for all clients, not just flagged ones
- Nudges and renewal reminders are automated — manage email prefs from the dashboard
Opening the Conversation
You just went through something personal. I don't need to know what you wrote — but I'd love to hear what it was like. What surprised you?
Ask about the experience, not the content. People will share specifics when they feel safe.
Going Deeper
The journey asked you to name a fear you don't normally say out loud. What was it like to be that honest with yourself?
How did it feel to read something back about yourself that you hadn't exactly said?
You dedicated your work to someone. What does that person mean to your creative life?
Reading Their Journey
Identity & medium
What medium did they choose? Do they call themselves a creator?
Fear & permission
What fear did they name? How specific is their permission? Do they believe it?
Dedication & impact
Who did they dedicate their work to? What impact do they want to have?
Commitment & confidence
Did they commit to something specific? How did confidence shift?
Forge project
Are they working on a creative project? What's the scope and status?
Manifesto
Read it together or let them read privately. Ask what part felt most true.

Between Sessions
Send them a message. From their client detail view, you can send a short text note (up to 2000 characters) that appears at the top of their /journey page in a "From your guide" inbox. Use it for quick encouragement, a reminder, or a follow-up question — not for anything urgent (it's in-app only, no email).
- The creative can dismiss messages from their inbox at any time
- You can soft-delete your own messages from your sent history
- If your access is revoked, your past messages auto-hide from their inbox (you keep the sent record)
Sending Them Forward
What are you going to make? Not someday. This week.
