So, what is it? What is Remodeled Life?
After I created this program, I engaged two friends that do marketing to help me spread the word about Remodeled Life and the amazing aspects of what it offers. This posed quite a fun and interesting challenge as, to our knowledge, there is nothing like Remodeled Life available. It is something unique.
Remodeled Life isn’t a new twist on a water bottle, protein powder, or a chicken sandwich. This program is something new. Which makes it difficult to explain to someone what it is. There is not an easy comparison helping explain the “what” and “why” of Remodeled Life.
I was told by many people, “you need to be able to tell people what Remodeled Life is in two sentences”. I have tried. Lord knows I have spent hours trying to come up with a two-sentence explanation.
I wave the white flag…. I can’t. I can’t get my messaging down to two sentences. This has often prevented me from sharing what Remolded Life is. I couldn’t play by the two-sentence rule, so I gave up. (If you know me, you are probably scratching your head wondering when did a rule ever stop Jen from doing something. Well, this one did for a few years.) Until today.
Remodeled Life got its name because it follows the same process we would use in a home renovation project.
Before I became a therapist, I worked in landscape construction. I loved my job. It was so fun to be part of the process of changing environments that no longer worked for the person or family to an environment that was enjoyed, loved, desired, and completely enhanced the family’s life.
Interestingly, the remodeling process was similar each time. It started with meeting the client and getting to know them. Not who they were ten years ago, but who they are today and what they prefer now. We would walk the site with the client and evaluate the existing conditions, determining what elements need to stay, and carefully chosing the areas that can be upgraded. We would look at the boundaries and the limits of the project and confirm the foundation was firm. Then the demolition started. The old is removed and makes room for the new and improved. You get the drift. Remodeled Life does this in your personal life… not in your physical home but in your personal “home”… the one inside of you.
Remodeled Life is designed to take a person from the beginning to the end of a personal life remodel. This is done by journeying through ten modules which include 16 hours of video teaching (equivalent to 45 hours of therapy) and over 200 pages of workbook.
We start with Module One: Site Evaluation. We self-reflect, we look who we are today…. What is important to us today, what nurtures us, our values, our wants, fears, and what drives our decisions. It’s so important to re-evaluate this and figure out who you are today… not who you were ten years ago, five years ago, or even last year.
Module Two: Frame Inspection. In this module we will dive into how intentionally God created you. With the help of Myers Brigg, we determine your “frame”…. your personality preferences… helping you to embrace and appreciate the framework God gave you and others.
Module Three: Property Lines. In this module we explore healthy biblical boundaries and turn to the Word of God for truth about what we are responsible for and what we are not responsible for. This module is so powerful and the freedom that comes with this module is life changing.
Module Four: Demolition. Before we can upgrade, we have to remove the things that aren’t working and let go of the old. Module Four is about identify obvious and subtle griefs that are weighing us down and causing an abundance of negative symptoms.
Module Five: Firm Foundation. In this module we evaluate what your beliefs are and make sure that your beliefs are on the firm foundation of truth that will support you in your life. We will turn to biblical truth and learn how to do spiritual battle against the enemy. Caution… this module is very powerful and is packed with information, skills, tools, and truth.
Module Six: Extermination. We have to ensure the pests of the past are dealt with and exterminated. In module six we will identify your shame monsters and learn tools to destroy them. These are the hidden and sneaky things that are busy behind the seasons damaging us.
Module Seven: Infrastructure. Do you wonder why you get triggered and what happens in your brain when you do? This module takes the mystery out of why we get triggered and teaches you mindfulness strategies to effectively handle triggers so they don’t get to run the show in your life.
Module Eight: Rebuilding. This is the module where we deep dive into healthy and unhealthy communication patterns and learn how to restore and maintain healthy relationships. This module shares the secret formula for the most effective communication skill, it exposes the reasons we have intense conflict with those we love, and teaches the skills of how to revisit and restore wounds in relationships. This module has the power to dramatically change and improve the most important bonds in your life.
Module Nine: Expectations versus Requirements. Short, sweet and mighty, this module exposes how you set people up for failure and the pitfall that can destroy the whole remodel process. You will learn how to change the premediated failures you place on people and make your requirements known in relationship supportive ways.
Module Ten: Keys to the Door. You ready to move in? I want that for you too and it is almost time. However, there is one huge task that needs to be completed before you can occupy your new home. Forgiveness. We cannot have the life God desires for us if we are bound in unforgiveness. God desires us to be free and we do this by receiving His grace and forgiving ourselves and others. This module will offer you tools and practical information to be a person that receives and walks out forgiveness. This really is the key to the door.
So, can you understand why a two-sentence explanation for me has been impossible? If you can figure out how to explain this in two sentences, please email it to me. LOL. I would love the help. LOL.
