Maybe It's Me Bonus Content
These free bonus resources are designed to support you as you begin applying the ideas from the book in real life. This isn’t extra material for the sake of more content—it’s a practical starting point to help you recognize patterns, surface harder questions, and strengthen your ability to make conscious choices, especially under pressure.
Use what’s relevant now and leave the rest for later. You don’t need to move through everything at once. When certain ideas or questions feel harder to answer, that’s useful information—not a failure. And if you decide you want access to the full collection of reader tools, workbooks, and guided assets that deepen this practice over time, the Reader Experience is available whenever you’re ready.
Below you’ll find the free bonus content available to readers—start where your attention naturally goes.
THE CONSCIOUS CHOICE ROADMAP
Make better decisions under pressure—without sacrificing yourself, others, or your edge.
The Conscious Choice Roadmap is a pause-fueled experience designed to help you slow down just enough to choose well—especially when it would be easier to react, avoid, or push through. Built around the 7 Conscious Questions, this roadmap illuminates where choice gets hard and trains the practice that prevents pressure from deciding for you.
This isn’t a linear process or a checklist to complete. It’s a repeatable way of thinking—one you can return to in any situation where clarity matters. You’ll pause, reflect, evaluate, and choose with greater awareness of what’s true for you, what’s true for others, and what you’re actually responsible for. The goal isn’t certainty or comfort. It’s conscious choice.
Use the roadmap when:
- You feel stuck, reactive or conflicted
- You're facing a decision with relational or emotional weight
- You know what you should do, but can't see how to move forward cleanly
This is the backbone of the entire system. Mastering conscious choice is the path to the promise of the book—and this roadmap is where that mastery begins.

PAUSING WITH PURPOSE HORIZONTAL
A repeatable path from reaction to choice.
This illustration shows how pausing, breathing, reflecting, evaluating, and choosing creates space for clarity. The 7 Conscious Questions live inside this cycle, supporting intentional action instead of reflexive response.
PAUSING WITH PURPOSE VERTICAL
A repeatable path from reaction to choice.
This illustration shows how pausing, breathing, reflecting, evaluating, and choosing creates space for clarity. The 7 Conscious Questions live inside this cycle, supporting intentional action instead of reflexive response.
CONSCIOUS QUESTIONS V
A framework for making better decisions under pressure.
This illustration captures the seven questions that interrupt reactivity and restore choice. It guides you to slow down, surface what’s true, consider impact, and choose intentionally—without bypassing emotion or responsibility.
CONSCIOUS QUESTIONS C
A framework for making better decisions under pressure.
This illustration captures the seven questions that interrupt reactivity and restore choice. It guides you to slow down, surface what’s true, consider impact, and choose intentionally—without bypassing emotion or responsibility.
MIND MANAGEMENT MODEL
Where to pause so you don’t let old thinking run the show.
This model illustrates how mental models shape thoughts, emotions, and actions—and where conscious choice becomes possible. The pause is the leverage point that allows you to spot and update thinking and make sure your thinking supports your desired outcomes.
INNER COMPASS
How values, purpose, mission, and vision work together to provide directional clarity.
This illustration maps the internal alignment system that guides conscious choice. When these four elements are in sync, decisions feel clearer, steadier, and more grounded—even in uncertainty.
SPEAKING TRUTH KINDLY
Discernment before expression.
This decision tree helps you determine whether something needs to be said, by whom, when, and how. It balances honesty with care—without defaulting to silence or unnecessary harm.
WORKING WITH REALITY
Why acceptance increases your influence.
This illustration shows how working with reality—not fighting it—expands your potential for success. Influence and control grow when energy is focused where it actually matters.
ZONES OF CONTROL
Where your true power lives.
This visual clarifies the difference between concern, influence, and control. It helps you redirect energy away from what you can’t change and toward the choices, actions, and attitudes that are fully yours.
SBIC FEEDBACK MODEL
Clear, grounded feedback without blame.
This model provides a simple structure for giving feedback that’s factual, human, and forward-looking. It keeps conversations anchored in reality while creating space for learning and change.
GROUNDED IN REALITY
Nobody wins an argument with reality. Ever.
This visual reminds us that we shift our expectations to align with reality and give up trying to alter reality to fit our needs.
100-100 MODEL
Shared power without control games.
This model shows how taking 100% responsibility for your power—without stealing it from others or giving yours away—creates healthier dynamics and better outcomes.
NEGATIVE EMOTIONS
Discomfort is data, not a problem to fix.
This visual reframes negative emotions as messengers. It shows how allowing, processing, and learning from discomfort leads to growth—while avoidance, resistance, or reaction keeps you stuck.
This is a starting point, not the whole system.
These bonus resources are designed to help you begin noticing patterns and strengthening conscious choice. If you decide you want deeper support—workbooks, tools, and guided assets that meet you in different moments—the Reader Experience makes everything available in one place.
You can step into it anytime, at your own pace.

the toolkit
(Included in the Companion Workbook · Also available as a standalone resource)
A practical system for leading yourself well—especially under pressure.
The Conscious Choice Toolkit turns the 7 Conscious Questions into actionable tools you can use in the moments that matter most. Instead of reacting, over-functioning, or spinning in your head, these tools help you pause, separate truth from story, regulate emotion, expand perspective, communicate clearly, set boundaries, and realign with what you want most.
Each tool supports a specific aspect of conscious choice—from emotional clarity and mind management to truth-telling, boundary-setting, and directional alignment. You don’t need to use them all at once. Enter where you are, use what you need, and return as often as necessary. This toolkit is not about being perfect—it’s about staying conscious, grounded, and responsible when life gets loud.
If insight is what helps you see, this toolkit is what helps you choose differently.
Books are better with friends. Get ready to host a transformational conversation about pressure, purpose, and peace with these professionally designed and easy to use digital assets.
book club facilitator guide
Facilitating this work is not about teaching—it’s about holding space where real change can occur. The Facilitator Guide provides the structure, pacing, and support needed for readers to lead thoughtful, grounded conversations without carrying the emotional weight for the group.
Inside, you’ll find session outlines, discussion prompts, reflection questions, and practical facilitation guidance that make it possible to host a Maybe It’s Me Book Club with confidence and care. No prior facilitation experience is required—this guide is designed to support readers who want to lead change by creating environments where people can pause, reflect, and choose more consciously.
Participants should use the Book Club Participant Guide alongside this resource so everyone arrives prepared for deeper conversation.
book club participant guide
Bring the conversation to real life experiences.
This guide is designed for readers who are willing to look inward—and stay with what they find. The Participant Guidehelps individuals slow down, reflect honestly, and engage the ideas of Maybe It’s Me in a way that’s grounded in real life, not theory. It offers structured prompts and reflections that surface patterns, challenge assumptions, and connect insight directly to everyday choices.
More than a companion to the book, this guide supports meaningful contribution to group dialogue. Participants arrive prepared—not with answers, but with awareness. The result is deeper conversation, personal accountability, and a shared commitment to conscious choice rather than surface-level discussion.
RELATIONSHIPS THAT WORK
Focusing on the connections that shape culture
Your ability to lead, influence, and experience fulfillment is directly tied to the quality of your relationships—and the choices you make inside them. Relationships That Work is a practical, reflective guide designed to help you take responsibility for the thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors that shape your most important connections at work and in life.
Inside, you’ll assess the health of key relationships, identify where repair, strengthening, or optimization is needed, and work through structured pathways that meet each situation with clarity and intention. You’ll explore the internal work required to reset strained dynamics, strengthen already-functional relationships, and set boundaries or share feedback with honesty and care. This isn’t about fixing other people. It’s about becoming more conscious of how you show up—and choosing differently when it matters.
With tools for reflection, repair, boundary-setting, feedback, and partnership optimization, this resource supports leaders and professionals who want to elevate not just individual relationships, but the culture those relationships create. The work may feel uncomfortable at times. That’s a sign you’re doing it right—and that real change is possible.
companion workbook w/toolkit
Where insight becomes practice—and pressure finally has somewhere to go.
The Maybe It’s Me Companion Workbook is designed for readers who don’t just want to understand the ideas in the book—they want to live them. Used alongside Maybe It’s Me, this workbook guides you through a structured, honest, and deeply practical process for uncovering pressure patterns, interrupting self-sabotaging beliefs, and strengthening your ability to make conscious choices in real time.
Each chapter moves you from awareness to action through reflection, self-assessment, and simple, repeatable practices tied directly to the 7 Conscious Questions. You’ll evaluate your life, relationships, and decisions; name what’s actually happening under pressure; and practice small shifts that compound into meaningful change. This isn’t a workbook you “finish.” It’s a living resource you return to whenever pressure rises, clarity fades, or patterns resurface.
Includes the complete Conscious Choice Toolkit—a full set of practical tools you can use anytime you feel stuck, reactive, or misaligned.
