Wayfinding

Wayfinding

What it Is

Wayfinding is (technically) coaching, but it’s through a lens that sees capitalism — and other -isms — as the underlying problems to many of our woes. Like burnout, financial stress, mobility constraints, perimenopausal WTF?! issues (seriously!), and more.

Of course, mindset does play a role in everything, but not in the way we’ve been programmed to believe. The system is fucked up, and yet we’re forced to contend with it in ways that aren’t always in integrity with our values. The mindset work, then, isn’t about blaming ourselves for showing up “imperfectly” in a system designed to manipulate and exploit us; it’s about recognizing our agency in how we respond to the fuckery we’re contending with.

When you wayfind with me, we’re not going to bypass the structural realities you face — there’s no “manifesting abundance” or “high vibes only” BS happening around here! But we are going to explore the things that bring you purpose, joy, and wild aliveness. We’re going to explore what needs to change in your life, whether that’s your mindset or circumstances or (likely) both. And we’re going to put your inner guide in the driver’s seat — we’re going to move you into living in deeper integrity with your soul.

Who It’s For

Wayfinding is for humans who:

  • Reside anywhere on the gender identity spectrum

  • Are kind and compassionate, and want to create a more equitable world for all

  • Refute the validity of capitalism itself and dare to renegotiate their engagement with it

  • Recognize the privileges they carry with humility, not fragility

  • Are open to turning to their bodies as a source of wisdom, even if they don’t know how

  • Are open to exploring things like synchronicities, earth-centered practices, and/or tools like tarot or astrology (note: I’m not a reader, but I do find these modalities useful)

  • Are yearning for more depth in their daily lives and how they approach their problems

Wayfinding addresses issues like:

  • Work stress, burnout, forced AI use (#beenthere), and other occupational challenges

  • Massively disruptive life events, e.g. job loss, divorce, bankruptcy, etc.

  • An existential crisis or spiritual awakening

  • A midlife crisis or awakening, including those stemming from perimenopause and menopause

  • Relationship challenges, family dynamics, etc.

  • “I don’t know what to do,” or “I feel so stuck”

  • People-pleasing, boundaries, self-care

  • “What’s my purpose?” (which has a simple answer)

IMPORTANT: Wayfinding isn’t a substitute for therapy, and I encourage every client to work concurrently with a values-aligned therapist…like I do!

How it Works

My current wayfinding client work is bespoke. Maybe you just want a single session, maybe you want ongoing sessions, or maybe you want asynchronous voice messaging.

My favorite portal for wayfinding (assuming we’re not meandering off trail in LaBagh Woods!) is old school phone calls. But, I also use Zoom and Voxer or Signal.

How to get started:

  • If you want to book a single session, click here.

  • If you want to hop on a 45-minute exploratory call, click here.

  • If you want to test-drive asynchronous wayfinding (via Voxer or Signal), click here.

Notes on pricing:

My single session and asynchronous rates are found via their booking links. Bespoke packages are priced based off these rates.

So, if your bespoke package contains 6 sessions, it’s easy to calculate. If it contains 6 sessions and asynchronous voice messaging, it will fall somewhere between the cost of both (because I assume you won’t be messaging me as much as you would if you weren’t also having sessions).

A note on accessibility:

If you would like to work with me but simply can’t at my posted rates, please email me. We can explore alternative scenarios.

What Others Say

Some love:

“In just a short session, she helped free me of carrying this weight in my lower back, stomach, shoulders, and hips — enabling me to let go and trust that I have the fortitude and strength to move forward.”

-Courtney Wennerstrom

“After our conversation, I felt lighter and clearer and capable of taking a turtle step…Something new feels unlocked…I’m feeling more ready to take on the week than I have in a while.”

-Madi R.

“I considered myself to be allergic to the very prospect of [Promoting my book] until my coaching session with Kristi. In a world full of ‘influencers’ and ‘content creators’, Kristi Amdahl is the real deal.”

-Mads Hennen

Some outcomes:

  • Answered the question (in a single session): “Do I want to have children?” Significance: they’d struggled with this in therapy for years. Now: they are thrilled to have a baby.

  • Answered the question: “Do I want to sell my house and start renting?” Significance: obvious; this is a huge decision with implications for anyone. Now: they also parted with excess possessions and even heirlooms that were creating physical, mental, and psychic clutter. Their life has taken a significant, more prosperous u-turn since.

  • Answered the question: “What do I actually want?” Significance: they were feeling deeply restless but somewhat directionless. Now: they relocated, pivoted in their business, and — last I heard — may be in a new partnership.
