True North
Insight to Action
A personal development platform that turns psychological frameworks into practical, usable tools — so understanding yourself becomes something you can actually do something with.
BeginOrientation before movement
Most personal development advice tells you where to go. True North starts one step earlier: it helps you find out where you've been and where you are.
The platform translates established psychological frameworks into structured, interactive experiences. No jargon, no vague affirmations, no bumper sticker doctrine. The path to healing a broken leg is the same for most of us. The path to healing what makes you a person is going to be different for everyone.
True North is a holistic healing ecosystem that allows clients to partner with providers to create a custom recovery path: a path from insight to action.
What began as a set of client guides and workshop materials has grown into an interconnected system: written guides for depth, presentations for teaching, infographics for quick reference, and interactive applications for practice.
Ten interconnected practices
True North is not one app but a system of them. Each module does one thing well, and each one feeds the others — what you surface in Map explains what you find in Reclaim, and what you learn in Clarify changes what you rehearse in Assert.
Reclaim
Memory ReconstructionRevisit formative experiences with structure and distance — mapping how past events shaped present patterns, without getting lost in them.
Open Memory WeaverMap
Core Beliefs MapperSurface the foundational beliefs driving your reactions, trace each one back to where it formed, and test it against the evidence of your actual life.
Clarify
Values ClarificationName what actually matters to you, rank it honestly, then compare that ranking against how you spent the last month. The gap is the work.
Gaze
Relationship MappingChart the people who matter — closeness, tension, influence, and how each of those has shifted over time. Most of what shapes us happened between us and someone else.
Open Kindred ConstellationListen
Inner Critic DialogueGive the critical voice a chair and a name, then answer it. Externalizing the inner critic is the first step to arguing with it on equal footing.
Assert
Assertiveness & Conflict ResolutionRehearse difficult conversations in a safe space, and learn your default conflict style — building the skill of saying what you mean without apology or aggression.
Open Speak Your Truth LiveRegulate
In-the-Moment GroundingFor when it's happening right now. Short, immediate tools — grounding, paced breathing, naming what you feel — built to be used in under two minutes.
Open Coping Companion LiveReport
Daily JournalKeep a daily entry and let the record work for you — the journal remembers what came before and surfaces insights when a pattern is worth naming.
Open Daily CompassDispatch
Letters Across TimeWrite to a future self, or to a past one. Choose a date and the letter arrives then — a message sent down the road to whoever you'll be when it lands.
Reframe
Shifting the VantageTake a story you tell about yourself and rewrite it from three other points of view. The facts hold still; the meaning rarely does.
One framework, many formats
The written and visual side of True North — the same framework built for the page, the room, and the wall. The interactive tools live in the modules above. Links open each piece.
