Joy by Design
Live on Zoom
Full replay included
Real, actionable clarity.
“Joy isn’t something you earn after you’ve figured everything out. It’s available right now — if you design for it.”
Every month, we meet for one focused hour to do the thing most of us never actually do: get intentional about what joy looks like for you — right now, in this season of your life — and map a real path toward it.
THIS WORKSHOP IS FOR YOU IF
You know something
needs to shift.
You're not in a crisis. You're not falling apart. But somewhere along the way, you stopped asking what you actually wanted — and started just getting through.
You feel successful on paper but secretly resent it. Something's missing and you can't quite name it.
01
You've been overthinking a goal, a decision, or a change for so long that thinking has become a substitute for moving.
02
You want to feel more like yourself again — more aligned, more alive — but you're not sure where to start.
03
You're ready to stop waiting for the "right moment" and start designing one instead.
04
WHAT YOU WALK AWAY WITH
One hour.
Real work.
Yours to keep.
You're not in a crisis. You're not falling apart. But somewhere along the way, you stopped asking what you actually wanted — and started just getting through.
🎯
A goal you actually care about
You bring something real — something you've been circling — and we give it shape together.
🎥
Full replay access
Can't make the live time? No problem. You'll get the recording so you can workshop on your own schedule.
🌿
No commitment. No program.
Come when you need it, leave with something real — and a glimpse of what it looks like to do this work in a deeper, more intentional container.

1–2 concrete next steps
Not a 47-item action plan. Just the real next move — clear enough to do this week, not "someday."
🤝
A room of people doing the same
There's something secretly powerful about not being the only one figuring it out. You'll feel it in the room — and network easily.
THE PROCESS
Simple
by design.
The structure is the same every month — because the structure isn't the point. You are.
You register and show up
Bring something you're working on — a goal, a decision, a tension you can't shake. No prep required.
01
We remember what joy is
Before we touch the goal, we reconnect with what joy actually feels like for you. This isn't fluff — it's the compass we use for everything that follows.
02
We map it together
Your goal, your obstacles, your values, your next steps — all in one place. Visual. Real. Not scattered across a dozen notes apps.
03
You leave with clarity — not homework
1–2 next steps you can actually do this week. Nothing more. Action creates clarity faster than thinking ever will.
04
"I came in with something I'd been avoiding for months. In one hour, I had it mapped out and I knew exactly what to do next. I didn't expect to feel that much lighter."
— Past Joy By Design Participant
YOUR FACILITATOR
Hi, I’m Gloria.
I went from mechanical engineering to life design coach — not because I had it all figured out, but because I spent 10 years feeling successful and completely disconnected at the same time.
I know what it feels like to be stuck, confused, and a little sad about it. I also know what it feels like to finally stop overthinking and start moving — and to design a life you actually want to be in.
Joy by Design is how I help you do the same, one focused hour at a time.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Not perfectly. Bring something that's been on your mind — a goal, a decision, a feeling that something needs to change. We shape it together inside the workshop. You don't need to arrive with a polished answer.
-
You'll get the full replay. Watch it and do the Miro board work on your own time. Clarity doesn't have an expiration date — you just have to actually do the work.
-
It's a facilitated workshop — structured thinking time with a guide. We're not excavating your childhood. We're getting clear on what you want and what's in the way. Very action-oriented. Always kind.
-
Thinking alone is exactly how you got stuck in the first place. Here you get structure, a live facilitator, a visual map — and a room full of people doing the same work. Plus access to the community after.
-
Not unless you want to. One volunteer participant will do a live coaching session with me — real work, in real time, no script. Everyone else works through their own Miro board alongside it. Watching someone else get coached is often just as clarifying as being in the hot seat yourself. Either way, you leave with your own mapped next steps.
