As a creator, I'm very familiar with the challenges of the creative path. In a spiraling way I've been through this process many many times, where first I'm excited, I'm in a creative flow. I create something. And then usually, when it's gone out into the world, there is no response...

I've taken many courses throughout 10 years, and it's not an exaggeration, I spent thousands of dollars. Unravel was my last hope. I thought if this doesn't work, then something must be wrong with me and I'll just continue living this perpetual cycle of chasing one thing after the other. It was exhausting. I had...

I worked very hard to get to where I wanted to go. I was very focused on my career. I worked for the UN for a few years. That was my dream and when I got there, I was like, ok now what? I wasn't feeling happy very globally in my life.  But I didn't know how to go deeper inside of me, find out what is me, what I lost...

I'm looking at a potential retirement in some years time, and that'd mean I'd suddenly have lots of time on my hands. That's a big scary thought. And if I fell into that without knowing what I wanted to fill my days with, I was not going to be sustainably happy in those years...

In the winter of 2019, I was ready to quit and change what I was doing. Then, 2020 hit. And obviously all of those plans fell through and I I found myself wondering why was I doing what I was doing and was I happy with it? I just got stuck and was spinning around in a circle, getting dizzier and dizzier...

I didn't realize it yet, but I was sliding into a postpartum depression. I was taking care of my baby and trying to work one hour here, one hour there. I was so harsh on myself. Feeling like I should do something with my life, but nothing was really resonating. I was a bit like a ship on the ocean just floating...

As I'm pretty young for being on this path, it can feel very lonely. Especially at the beginning when you drift apart from your friends and family members that don't really resonate with you. So my life before Unravel was this lonely journey. My mind, my ego was telling me: you're not ready for this...

I was caring for everyone around me, both in work and a personal environment. I'm a business owner and father of two boys. And I was stretched to my limit in many ways. Growing up overseas, I was also like a chameleon, adapting to the ways around me. I had a sense of rootlessness and loneliness...

Before Unravel, I wasn't sure if I wanted to stay in my marriage, because we have 2 children together. I didn't know if the path of being a photographer or videographer was what I truly needed to do in life. I was lost. I was hoping to leave with more clarity. Everything from Unravel...

Before Unravel, I had left my position that I had been with for several years as a dental hygienist. My husband and I had been trying to conceive our first child for several years. We had just experienced our first pregnancy and miscarriage, so I was in a pretty dark place, looking for a way to connect again...

Esther Jeon

I transitioned to college life recently. First semester was very bad emotionally to me and I was afraid that would happen again. Before Unravel, I clearly knew that what I was doing and my worldview was not one that really worked for me. It was a place of high anxiety and a lot of day-to-day stress...

Before Unravel, I feel like I was a ball of wool and string that's all jumbled up. I was also on the job search. I had many questions: Where do I want to live? What do I want to do with the rest of my life?  I think everything that could be unstable in your life was sort of unstable when I started Unravel...

Before Unravel, I was lost, real lost. My best friend just died. I had separated from my wife after 11 years. I came here to my little apartment with a camp chair. I had nothing. So I sat here and asked myself, "How can I start from scratch after a divorce?" I was searching for meaning, blind fighting with myself...

Michelle Cook

Before Unravel, I was not necessarily at a peak, but more in a valley in my journey of evolution. I have had a lot of challenges in the last 10 years. Challenges with learning how to pay attention to what I need as much as I pay attention to what other people in my family or in my close friend circle need... 

Before Unravel, I was trying to find myself. I was trying to break the anchors that were preventing me from being more open-minded to take the opportunities or possibilities that life could offer. At the same time, I was trying to become a mother and also trying to explore my creative nature...
