Week 2 of Bloom in Five is about conditioning and clarity. This is where we dig. Together, my client and I explore the forces that shaped her worldview—family, religion, culture, corporate life. We use a tool called the Conditioning Web to visually map out beliefs and trace where they came from. It’s not about blaming—it’s about understanding.

She might be journaling, or even recording voice notes to herself—because what matters is getting the truth out of her head and into the light. In this week, we aren’t rushing to fix anything. We’re just uncovering. Gently. Like little emotional excavators, discovering what’s been buried.

So the next time you see your coworker rushing out to pick up her kids, ask her: ‘Have you ever kept a journal?’ If she pauses… she might be ready for this kind of self-discovery.
