Have you noticed how many smart people with tons of potential feel trapped in their own lives?

Let me give you a preview.

SMART PEOPLE HAVE MORE POWER AND OPPORTUNITY THAN EVER.

And sometimes it does feel that way. 

Sometimes we feel capable, powerful, even indispensable.

But often it doesn't feel that way.

We're capable of so much, yet often we feel disenchanted, uninspired, bored, disappointed, and trapped.

Have you ever wondered WHY it sometimes feels like you're living in a cage of unfulfillment? Because there IS an explanation.

AND IT'S NOT BECAUSE THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH YOU.

    It's no coincidence that:

  • right arrow

    Most smart people don't go after their passions because they're afraid of failure (and what others might think.)

  • right arrow

    Smart people tend to speak up less, negotiate less, socialize and connect less, and are generally less likely to feel like their life actually belongs to them as they get older (especially if they are neurodivergent, have ADHD, or some other reason they feel like they have to mask who they are to function.)

  • right arrow

    Smart, high-potential people are drowning in self-doubt and impostor syndrome and they rarely ask for what they're worth.

  • right arrow

    Smart people feel lonely, stifled, burnt-out, and disempowered to change their lives to match their ideals—or even acknowledge their own true preferences.

It's because society has gotten inside your brain.
 

Society has taught us to think in ways that hold us back, convince us to play small, and shy away from our true potential.

The insidious thing about society teaching you to play small is that you can't even tell it's happening.

BECAUSE THE MESSAGE COMES FROM THE INSIDE.

    You think the thoughts, and they seem like they're YOUR thoughts.

    But they aren't. They're messages from a society that undermines our confidence, stifles innovation, and encourages conformity. And we're all susceptible to its influence. So, what happens?

  • right arrow

    You don't take risks that you know lead to your dream life.

  • right arrow

    You settle for jobs that suffocate your personal and financial growth.

  • right arrow

    You shy away from new experiences and opportunities.

  • right arrow

    You isolate yourself from others and deprive yourself of real connection (except for maybe a select person or two.)

  • right arrow

    You keep quiet even when you're overflowing with curiosity, ideas, and solutions.

  • right arrow

    You start to lose sight of your real opinion—even your real self.

In short, you smother your potential and your authentic self in exchange for some sense of success and security that never comes.

AND WHEN WE FEEL UNFULFILLED, WHAT DO WE DO?

We spend money and time on sh*t that doesn't help us actually fulfill our potential.


Listen, I love a splurge on Appsumo as much as anyone, but a new productivity app isn't going to solve my time management problem when my time management problem is caused by the thought that the way my brain naturally works is wrong and I have to rewire myself to conform to someone else's system before I even have a chance at success. Right? Right.  

That's why learning how to forget what I've been taught has always been my favorite thing to do with my money, on every level.  

And that's why:

It's time to say f*ck the system(s) and start living life on your terms.

WELCOME TO LIFERISE.

An online coaching community for smart people who are done with trying to live someone else's version of "success." 

    Liferise teaches you to liberate yourself from the inside out. And that means:

  • right arrow

    Not worrying about pleasing your boss (even if that's you!), because you know you are capable of doing great work and don't need external validation to feel confident in your abilities.

  • right arrow

    Not being consumed by insecurity or anxiety about whether others find you smart / valuable / worthy / funny / attractive, because you have the self-assurance and confidence to know that you are doing your best and are valuable in your own right.

  • right arrow

    Not feeling guilty as a high-achieving individual who is also trying to balance family life, because you have the tools and support to manage your time and prioritize your responsibilities effectively.

  • right arrow

    Feeling secure about taking time for yourself, because you know that self-care is essential for maintaining your well-being and success.

  • right arrow

    Feeling good about taking time to pursue your passions, because you know that investing in your own growth and happiness ultimately benefits everyone around you.

  • right arrow

    Not caring if others think you are too intellectual, too perfectionistic, too serious, too unconventional, or too intense. Because you know that your unique traits and strengths are what make you stand out and excel.

It's the community of smart, authentic people you didn't know existed and can't live without.

We are only going to be able to create authentic success when we succeed authentically.

Not just intellectually, but emotionally.

Not just in theory, but in reality too.

surreal polaroids of a person alone on a road and transcendence

I KNOW THIS BECAUSE I LIVED IT.

I built the online business, got the Fortune100 clients, helped drive adoption for some of the most advanced technologies in the world.


I bought my house, had two kids with a loving partner, got up at 5AM, healed my childhood trauma...


And I still felt terrible. 

  • right arrow

    I preached work-life balance, but I lost countless hours in "standby mode," fretting about impending meetings and work that made me feel resentful and bored.

  • right arrow

    I talked about taking risks and being innovative, but I was afraid to step outside the bounds of what was expected of me.

  • right arrow

    I knew that the media was distorting my view of success and happiness, but I couldn't stop striving for more, hoping that if I just achieved that next big thing, I would finally feel fulfilled.

Eventually in my quest to succeed (and, let's be real, to fix myself because I still thought I was missing something important), I discovered life coaching. I joined programs from other coaches, and each one of them helped me grow exponentially more than anything I had done on my own.

I trained as a trauma recovery coach, and then in transformation, confidence, and entrepreneurship coaching.

The tools I was learning to shift my thought patterns helped, and I started to help other people face the things that held them back from living authentically.


And then I saw it—I realized the thoughts that people were bringing me—friends, partners, peers—they weren't isolated. They weren't accidental. They weren't random.

They were a product of society. They followed specific patterns that matched how smart people (like "gifted kids") are socialized and taught to think about themselves.

And yet every person who comes to me thinks they're the only one who feels like they're stuck as an impostor in their own life.

They think they're crazy for not feeling fulfilled by their accomplishments. Or that they're lazy (or even broken) for not doing more with their high intelligence.


They're afraid to admit their struggles, worried that they'll be seen as weak, incompetent, or ungrateful.

Testimonials

"Cas allowed me space to define better boundaries for myself and move through some very difficult situations with grace and strength."

Amanda Barta

Entrepreneur, Coach

I REALIZED THAT INTELLIGENT PEOPLE NEED MORE THAN FEEL-GOOD AFFIRMATIONS AND ONE-SIZE-FITS-ALL "SYSTEMS" TO FEEL SUCCESSFUL.

They need—ALL of us need—systems aligned with our strengths.


We all need a supportive place to break free from the thought-loops that hold us back.

I developed coaching tools specifically tailored to the needs of high-intelligence, high-potential people and tested them on myself.

I designed everything to help clients break through their self-doubt into levels of creativity, innovation, and fulfillment they had always imagined were possible…but never thought could be for them.


Knowing intellectually that we're not meant to fit into predefined boxes doesn't translate into the confidence to chart our own paths. That's why we need customized systems that work for us as individuals, and help us unleash our full potential.

ENTER: LIFERISE.

An online coaching community for smart people where you can unlearn all the fall-in-line bullsh*t society has fed you and bond with other renegade geniuses who are doing the same. 


Because even visionaries deserve company in navigating a world built for conformity.

    THERE IS ALWAYS PRESSURE TO BE A FOLLOWER.

    But now you have somewhere to go. Anytime. Anywhere. For anything. And a community that has your back.

  • right arrow

    Because you're always going to be different than the people who fit neatly into the roles society built for them.

  • right arrow

    Because you deserve support and encouragement on your journey and a place you can go to celebrate your victories with people who actually get it.

  • right arrow

    Because a tribe of people who value you, challenge you, and inspire you to become your truest, most extravagantly successful self is one of the best things that can happen to you. Ever.

  • Because the world is always going to try to make you feel like you're doing something wrong if you want to do them different, better—that you should change who you are and how you think so you can "succeed."

    The self-help industry alone is expected to be worth $14.0 billion by 2025. That's 9 zeros. $14,000,000,000.

    If you laid out all of those dollar bills end to end you could get from the Earth to the moon and back again almost four times. That's a sh*tload of money being spent on becoming something different than what you are.

    You can solve your problem once and for all for a fraction of what you'd spend on new planners and apps and productivity systems and personal development books that fill your head with yet another consideration, another step in the cycle of overthinking and second-guessing, and another pressure to conform to someone else's idea of success. And, unlike a lot of that, this sh*t works.

Radical self-acceptance isn't about being special.

It's a paradigm shift.

It's a movement where we
co-create a world where everyone can live up to their potential.

What's it like to be a member of Liferise?

After a month in Liferise, you’ll start noticing that you feel more liberated and free.

In the first month of the Liferise coaching program, we’ll uncover the influence of society on making smart people conform, play small, and otherwise limit their potential in order to fit in. We will work together to identify and release any limiting beliefs or subconscious thoughts that have been holding you back. You will start to feel a sense of liberation as you embrace your true potential.

You'll notice that you're effortlessly getting more done. You'll begin to feel more confident about your abilities and worth, and you'll start to be a little kinder to yourself. You'll spend less time in thought loops of overthinking and analysis paralysis and more time taking action toward the life of your dreams. 

After two months in Liferise, you'll start to see that your "flaws" are actually your greatest strengths.

In the second month, we will focus on your internal influences. You will learn more about your unique strengths and traits that may have been considered "wrong" or "flaws" by others. We will help you embrace these qualities and develop your creativity and excitement. You will start to build systems and ideals of success that are suitable for you and learn how to handle impostor syndrome when it arises.

After three months in Liferise, you'll start living and connecting on your terms.

In the third month, you will take the internal work we've done and apply it to the external world. You will learn to share your authentic self and strengths with others and embrace the uniqueness of those around you. You will start to find opportunities that align with your strengths and values by showing up with your whole self, and you'll build real connections with the people around you. By the end of the month, you will feel empowered to build the life you've always wanted and fulfill your true potential.

After that, you'll go even deeper into embracing your potential, start to develop ways to sustain your progress, build deeper self-assurance, and celebrate your victories with people who get it.

Are you tempted to join but worried about how you'll find time to work through all these amazing resources?

All of these resources are self-guided. You can go through them at whatever pace suits your life. Group coaching sessions offer major value, but nobody is going to shame you if you miss a week or two. Once you realize how much value you're getting out of the program, time will open up in your life, because you'll be releasing things that don't matter quite as much.

HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT LIFERISE?

Check Out Frequently Asked Questions Below!

What kinds of topics will Liferise help me with?

We are building an entire library of resources on releasing limiting beliefs, embracing authenticity, developing systems that work with your unique strengths, and creating success on your terms that actually feels fulfilling (unlike a bunch of empty accolades and accomplishments.)

What is the time commitment for Liferise?

There is no minimum time commitment. Show up for yourself—whether it's 10 minutes a day or an hour. Once you start seeing results, you'll naturally open up more time for your development. Start wherever you're at today and the rest will take care of itself. 

Is there a minimum required or recommended amount of months to truly benefit from the program?

There's no set amount of time for you to see results. In the first two months, you'll get through the primary content of the Liferise Methodology, but there will always be more to learn through additional courses, group coaching, guest experts, etc. Some people may join to transform only certain elements of their life, while others might be looking for more holistic transformation.

Whatever time you spend in Liferise will benefit you.

How can I connect with other members in Liferise also doing this work?

We are developing an online community platform you can use to connect, but you can also talk to other members during group coaching calls, events, and weekly celebrations and mentorship calls.

Yes! Cas offers 1:1 coaching as well as small-group mastermind coaching. Cohorts and other live, focused curriculum are also available.
