About us
Welcome to the NYC Personal Growth & Life Coaching Lab
This is a community for New Yorkers who want clarity, structure, and forward momentum — not just inspiration. Members of this group are part of the NYC Personal Growth Collective, a growing community focused on practical personal growth and forward momentum.
If you’ve ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, scattered, or unsure of your next move, you’re not alone. This group brings together ambitious, thoughtful people who want practical tools to improve focus, rebuild energy, strengthen discipline, and create meaningful progress.
What to expect:
- Free, structured workshops on goals, habits, clarity, and life design
- Practical mindset sessions grounded in psychology — not hype
- Strategy-focused planning events to help you execute, not just dream
- A “lab” approach — test tools, run experiments, adjust, improve, optimize
- A serious but supportive NYC community focused on real growth
- Optional 1:1 Coaching Intensives
As an added bonus members of the NYC Personal Growth Collective receive occasional notes and coaching tips between workshops via The Loaddown (our email).
This isn’t passive motivation.
We explore simple frameworks you can apply immediately — and refine over time.
Events are led by Aiden Murtagh, Certified Life Coach and creator of the Yes Sensei Method, known for his clear, grounded, and psychology-based approach to personal transformation.

• You want your next year to feel intentional, not chaotic
• You’re ready to build habits and actually stick to them
• You want to reduce stress, mental clutter, and procrastination
• You value structure, accountability, and disciplined momentum
• You prefer practical tools over vague inspiration
Whether you’re resetting your direction, sharpening focus, or leveling up your personal systems — you’ll find practical value here.

Why You Can't Think Your Way Out of Overthinking (30 Min)
·OnlineOnlineThis is a 30-minute, free, focused mini-workshop designed to help you stop getting stuck in loops of overthinking and make decisions with greater clarity and confidence.
Overthinking often feels like problem-solving. We replay conversations, analyze every option, and search for the right answer. But instead of creating clarity, all that mental effort usually leaves us feeling more confused, overwhelmed, and stuck.
In this session, you'll learn why this happens from a neuroscience perspective and why the solution isn't to think harder.
Instead, you'll discover how changing your brain state can help you access clarity more naturally.
During the workshop, you'll experience a simple guided practice designed to interrupt the overthinking cycle in real time. You'll also identify a version of this tool that works for you and can be used whenever your mind starts spinning.
You'll walk away with:
• Why you can't think your way out of overthinking
• What neuroscience tells us about why the brain gets stuck
• How changing your state creates clearer thinking
• A short live breathwork experience you can take into your daily life.
• Three powerful questions that move you from endless thinking to real clarityBy the end of the session, you'll have a simple framework for recognizing when thinking has become unhelpful and practical, body-based tools to help you instantly change your state, regain perspective, and move forward with greater confidence.
Short. Practical. Grounded in neuroscience.
No hype. Just tools that work.
30 minutes. Free. Online.
