The Catalyst Spiral

This isn’t about becoming someone new. It’s about getting clear enough to stop doing what no longer works.

The Catalyst Spiral is not a mindset hack, a healing plan, or a reinvention formula. It’s a rhythm. A structure. A spiral you move through again and again as you create what’s next.

Born from lived experience, The Catalyst Spiral meets you in moments of uncertainty—not with pressure, but with presence. Not to force a leap, but to support your next move.

Whether you’re navigating personal upheaval, a professional shift, or simply feeling the inner call for change, this is a grounded, creative path to move forward with agency, self-trust, and clarity.

The Catalyst Spiral

  • 1 - PAUSE

    Function: Step away from urgency. Reconnect to your nervous system, body, and gut knowing. This is not quitting. It’s recalibration.

  • 2 - PERCEPTION

    Function: See what is real. Notice what’s noise. This is where mess becomes insight.


  • 3 - EXPERIMENT

    Impact: No Pressure. No performing. Just data, rhythm and earned play.

  • 4 - EMBODY

    Impact: Move and anchor what you know. Choose presence based off internal clarity - not habit or fear. This is where change becomes real.

The Spiral isn’t therapy. It’s not strategy. It’s a rhythm.

What Sets the Catalyst Spiral apart? 

This isn’t about mastering mindset or controlling outcomes. It’s about making space for calm, clarity, and creative choice. The Catalyst Spiral is rooted in real life—not theory. It works because it mirrors how real change actually unfolds - not in a straight line, but in spirals.

    • Structured enough to provide clarity (so you know where you are in your transition) but,

    • Flexible enough to be applied to any situation (career, leadership, relationships, personal reinvention).

    • Most methods assume you need a plan first - Rhona shows you how to move even when clarity isn’t there yet.

    • The In|Between Framework blends self discovery, clarity building and action into one fluid system.

    • It does not treat uncertainty as something to eliminate - it treats it as fuel.

    • It helps you use uncertainly to your advantage, leveraging it as part of the process.

    • it turns uncertainty into momentum because it stops the cycle of overthinking to provide space to intentional move forward.

      You don’t have to wait until you have all the answers to move forward - it show you how to start before you feel ready.

    • It doesn’t tell you what to do, the Catalyst Toolset give you something to do right now.

    • It bridges the gap between feeling stuck and taking action

    • People don’t just think differently - they act differently, starting today.

    • It was built and rooted in real human experience - deeply personal, yet universally applicable.

    • It combines Rhona’s experience as an artist, educator and leader with the lessons she learned rebuilding her life

    • It shows how the brain processes uncertainty and how to rewire fear into momentum.

    • It is creativity driven - using the creative process (iteration, experimentation, layering) as a model

    • It is leadership oriented - helping individuals and teams navigate transitions without getting stuck

You don’t move through the Spiral once.
You return to it—again and again.
Each time you spiral upward, you gain more clarity, more alignment, more depth.
