Sometimes the best gifts come from the construction zone.

Welcome to Step 1 of your curated navigation learning experience.

Over the past two days, we’ve introduced you to Bright Wings Press and revealed the unique stepping-stones approach behind “Lessons From The Edge.” Today, you get to start your actual navigation journey with something I created while deep in empire-building mode: a comprehensive diagnostic toolkit that serves as your foundation for everything that follows.

What I Built While You Were Waiting

During those weeks of productive hermiting, I kept thinking about you – the people who’ve been following this journey, waiting patiently while I disappeared into construction mode. And I kept asking myself: “What can I create that would actually help them right now, before the books are fully available?”

So I built you a toolkit. Not a simple PDF or basic checklist, but a genuine 37-page diagnostic resource that gives you immediate access to the soul navigation tools I use with clients.

Think of it as a preview of the Soul Mechanic’s Garage – the kind of comprehensive resource that helps you figure out what’s actually happening under the hood of your life.

What’s Inside Your Toolkit

This isn’t personality fluff or generic advice. This is a precision instrument for understanding your unique navigation system, complete with:

Section 1: How You’re Currently Doing

A candid assessment that starts with eight key questions like “My daily activities feel meaningful and aligned with who I really am” and “I’m comfortable saying no to things that don’t align with my values.” But here’s the twist – the scoring reveals whether you’re a smooth operator or if it’s time to pull over and look under the hood.

Section 2: Understanding Your Warning Signals

Your soul has been trying to communicate with you through four distinct channels: physical, emotional, mental, and intuitive. This section includes real case studies from the garage (like Claire, who thought she was just “a little off” until we realized her soul’s dashboard had been blinking warning lights for months) plus diagnostic tools to identify your personal warning system.

Section 3: Your Personal Navigation Style

Ever wonder why some people need sixteen pro/con lists before choosing shampoo while others move across the country on a hunch? Your decision-making style isn’t random – it’s soul-coded. This section includes assessments to decode your default approach, plus specific strategies for working with your natural style instead of fighting it.

Section 4: Daily Navigation Practices

Your soul doesn’t need a full retreat, just regular check-ins. I’ve included morning and evening navigation protocols that take less time than scrolling your phone, plus the PAUSE Protocol for when you catch yourself veering off track, and emergency navigation procedures for the big stuff.

Section 5: Your Personal Reference Guide

Customizable checklists and templates you can fill out and keep close – your personal warning signs checklist, navigation strengths inventory, and emergency protocols reference. Think of it as your custom soul-driver’s manual (minus the legalese).

A Taste of What Awaits

Here’s the disclaimer from page 2, which should give you a sense of the approach:

“Side effects of using this kit may include clarity, unexpected alignment, spontaneous joy, and a complete inability to tolerate inauthenticity. Results may vary depending on the quality of fuel you choose to add (gratitude, presence, and integrity work better than drama, blame, or ego), and your willingness to stick to a regular maintenance schedule.”

This toolkit doesn’t just tell you what to do – it helps you discover how YOUR particular soul-vehicle operates, what YOUR warning signs look like, and what navigation strategies actually work for YOUR unique design.

Why This Matters for Your Journey

Remember the curated learning experience we outlined yesterday? This toolkit serves as your essential foundation. Whether you read the original edition next, dive into the expanded edition when it launches, or decide to get both, you’ll have the diagnostic framework to understand and apply everything more effectively.

It’s designed to work as a standalone resource that creates real change, while also preparing you for the deeper navigation work available in the complete books.

From the Construction Zone to Your Journey

While I was building Bright Wings Press and developing the expanded edition, I realized something important: the most valuable gift I could offer wasn’t just another book announcement or marketing pitch. It was a genuine tool that starts your navigation journey immediately.

This toolkit represents months of distilling my most effective client diagnostic processes into a format you can use right now, today, to start understanding your unique navigation system.
