Life Design Lab is for anyone who has a dream, goal, or meaningful project they want to bring to life—but who doesn’t want to rely on pressure, perfection, or willpower alone. Whether you want to write a book, start a business, improve your health, strengthen a relationship, or simply create a life that feels more aligned with who you are, you’ll find encouragement, practical tools, and a supportive community. You don’t need to have it all figured out. Just bring your dream, and we’ll take the next gentle step together.
Hi, I’m Rebecca Kochenderfer!
For most of my life, I’ve been fascinated by one question:
Why do some people turn their dreams into reality while others stay stuck wishing things were different?
I’ve spent decades exploring that question as an entrepreneur, educator, researcher, speaker, and lifelong student of personal growth.
Along the way, I built one of the largest websites in its field, authored multiple books, completed my PhD, learned new languages, walked the Camino de Santiago, and created dreams that once felt impossibly far away.
What I’ve discovered is this:
Big transformations rarely happen through willpower, pressure, or perfect plans.
They happen when we learn how to take small, meaningful steps toward what matters most.
That’s the foundation of Mindful Life Design Lab.
Inside the Lab, I’m not here to lecture or tell you what your dream should be.
I’m here to walk beside you.
Together, we’ll use proven principles from neuroscience, psychology, mindfulness, and habit formation to help you gain clarity, build momentum, navigate obstacles, and create a life that feels more aligned with who you truly are.
You don’t need to have everything figured out.
You only need a dream worth exploring and a willingness to take the next step.
I’d be honored to walk the path with you.
