Win a Different Prize: Turning Your Attention Toward the Life You Actually Want

Published on: 17th September, 2026

What if you've gotten really, really good at winning a prize you don't even want?

You know the one.

You get everything done. You handle the problem. You answer the call. You figure it out. You show up. You keep going.

And your grand prize?

You're exhausted.

This week, Michele and Lisa realized we've been asking the wrong question.

Maybe it isn't How do I get everything done?

Maybe it's:

Why am I still playing a game where overwork is the prize?

So we brought something a little different to the I Ching:

How are we being guided to redirect our focus, trust support, and free our time and energy to actually live the spiritual path we're trying so hard to create?

And this one went places.

Because what if "turn the other cheek" has less to do with what you tolerate—and more to do with what you refuse to keep feeding with your attention?

What if the thing that looks like it's in your way isn't actually asking you to push harder?

And what if some of what you've been carrying was never meant to be carried alone?

We're not telling you what the I Ching said.

But we will tell you this:

We're ready to win a different prize.

If you are too, come mash it up with us.

Join the I Ching Mashup Circle

We’re opening the circle! Michele and Lisa will begin hosting the I Ching Mashup Circle on Friday, November 6 at 2:00 PM ET—a place to explore the I Ching together, practice receiving and interpreting its wisdom, and experience what happens when we bring our different perspectives into the same reading.

Reach out to us to get on the list and receive details as we get closer.
