A coaching practice and community, created by Cat Thompson, designed to help women step into the life they truly want.

This brand was born from my own deep curiosity: What happens when we stop living by default and start living by conscious design?



Rooted in wellness, clarity, leadership, creativity, and aligned action, this work is for the woman ready to tune in and design a life on her own terms.

LIFE BY DESIGN

“Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.”

LBD Core Values

A strong foundation starts here, with our core values

This brand was born from my own deep curiosity: What happens when we stop living by default and start living by conscious design?

Let’s connect

Realness

Unapologetically you. 

Realness is alignment between who you are and how you lead.

Clarity

Light in the fog

Honest, open, and distraction-free. Clarity cuts through the noise so you can move with purpose.

Curiosity

Spark of growth

Always learning, always evolving. Curiosity invites fresh perspectives and deeper transformation.

Drive

The Fire within 

Forward is the only way. Drive is energy, resilience, and action—especially when it’s hard.

Service

A heart in motion

Leading with heart. Service is about showing up fully for others and making meaningful impact

Conversation is powerful.

Vision by Design

An in person evening
One night only
Date: Wednesday 18th February 
Time: 6:00 - 8:00pm
Location: The Village NZ, 102 Jervois Road, Herne Bay, Auckland, 1011
Price: $70.00

Let's slow down together, get curious, and tune inward to allow clarity to naturally follow. The practice of vision design is a nervous-system-calming practice and one of the most powerful tools you can use.

February always offers a soft landing after a new year. This evening is an opportunity to pause, reflect, and intentionally design what you want your life to look and feel like free of constraints and steeped in possibility. 

After the holiday festivities and busyness this is the moment to get still, reconnect with what matters, and begin moving forward with intention as we get momentum for the New Year ahead.

Together, we will:

  • Settle the nervous system and create spaciousness
  • Clarify what you want more of in this season of life
  • Build a creative and embodied vision that reflects your core values
  • Translate intuition into intentional direction

You will walk away:

  • A vision board to support your direction and aligned action. 
  • Clarity you can feel in your body
  • A new sense of agency so you can says “I know where I am headed”

Whether you’re craving more joy, more ease, or stepping into a completely new chapter, this is a chance to define before you design, and let your next chapter unfold with clarity and care.

Life by Design begins here.
