When inspiration strikes, you act on it.

You don't sleep on it.

Specially, if it keeps coming back to you over and over again.

We all have something we've been meaning to create.

For me, it's this app.

For you, maybe it's a dream you've put on hold.

This is your sign to start.

We are now in an era where it's never been easier to build.

We have all the tools, the resources, the access.

If you've ever dreamed of starting something,

there's no better time than now.

In today's video,

I'll share the two ideas I've been dreaming up and

how you can help choose which one comes to life.

I hope it not only inspires you,

but lights a fire for your own ideas, too.

Hello, my loves.

Welcome back to Lavendaire.

Exciting stuff today.

So, if you have watched my videos the past year,

you know I have been exploring making an app.

Last year, I went to a couple tech conferences.

If you're on the email list, I sent out a couple surveys

asking what you're interested in.

And today, I'm ready to share my concepts

that I am very, very excited about.

So, these app concepts are things that

I wish existed, but don't exist yet.

And so, I'm excited to create them.

And it's the kind of experience

where like in the beginning,

I would just push off the ideas.

Like, they would come and I'd be like,

"Never mind, I'm too busy to work on this."

And then they would come back.

And just when you have an idea that keeps coming back to you,

it's asking to be explored.

It's asking to be brought to life.

And so I began sketching things out

and really ideating and envisioning what I could create.

So it's been about, I don't know seven or eight months

since I've had like you know design concepts.

The half of this year actually

I've been working with a UI designer

wireframing one of the app concepts

and we're ready to like start testing

very early testing with that.

But the past couple weeks I got reinspired with

another app idea that I had once just put on a shelf.

Like "nah I'm not going to do that one,

I'm going to do this one".

Like option A was my favorite option for the past year or so

but for the past two weeks option B has like came calling to me again.

So, today I decided to share

both options, and you can let me know

which one you're more excited about.

It's been over a decade since I've started creating content,

and I feel like I'm in a stage of my life

where I am ready to step into a next chapter,

a next evolution, where I am working

on creating things that have a deeper, longerlasting impact.

For example, one of the things

that brings me the most joy is creating tools

and resources that you can use

that actually empower you in your everyday life,

which is why I love creating things

like the workbook, my planners and journals.

But I've not ventured onto the digital aspect of it.

I've created an online course,

online workshops and communities.

But an app is something that is a different version,

a different medium of a tool that you can use every single day

that can help you transform your life for the better.

So, I'm super excited about the potential

and the possibilities that this can lead to.

And like I mentioned, it's never

been a better time to build something

because the tools are so accessible now.

It's so possible for you to create anything that you want.

So, I'm super excited to share.

So, to present these two concepts to you,

I created two landing pages using Framer.

So, I'd like to thank Framer for sponsoring today's video.

Framer is a node code website building tool

that lets you launch any website or marketing campaign

without needing a developer.

It's honestly perfect for me as a creator,

someone with a design vision, but no coding skills.

Framer makes it so easy to build beautiful,

high-quality websites of your own.

It's very visual and feels just like using Figma

or Sketch if you're familiar with those tools.

To get started, I picked a couple templates

I liked from their library.

They have over 700 templates to choose from.

Then I customized the templates by adding

my own fonts, colors, and images.

It's amazing how quickly you can build something

that looks super polished.

I really appreciate how you can see all screen sizes,

desktop, tablet, and mobile at the same time.

I spent a little extra time tweaking each layout so

that everything looked good across all devices.

And the cool thing is rearranging the layout

on mobile doesn't affect desktop.

So you can fully optimize each version.

Here's what we've built so far for the landing page

of the first concept, Align.

And here's the landing page for the concept, Resonance.

I'll leave both links in the description below

so you can check them out and let me know

in the comments which one you're more excited about.

Don't worry, I'll share more about each concept in a bit.

If you're ready to build your own website or landing page,

try Framer and use my code 'AILEEN'

to get 25% off your subscription for 3 months

when you upgrade to a paid plan.

The first concept is Align, the life design app.

So, Align is the life design app for

authentic alignment, growth, and well-being.

I'm calling it: your system for intentional living.

So think of it as a system that helps you

clarify and connect your vision, values,

goals, all the way down to your daily actions.

So it's kind of like a central hub for self-reflection,

goal setting, habit tracking,

and journaling your daily gratitude,

wins, reflections, and all of that.

In a way, it is the digital evolution of

the Artist of Life Workbook if you've seen it.

Basically, it helps you envision, plan,

and execute your dream life and help you

become your future ideal self.

And with the power of technology,

analytics, AI, it can give you so many insights,

so much data based on everything that

you put into it that can show you

how you are growing and evolving over time.

The key mission with this app is

to help you live aligned to your ideal self

and aligned to your dream life.

Everything that we do, we want to make sure our actions,

our thoughts, our habits are all aligned.

We don't want to feel misaligned because

there are people who live life having a dream

but not really taking action towards it. Right?

They might feel like they're doing a lot.

They might be busy but they're busy

going in the wrong direction.

So the whole point of Align is

to make sure first of all you clarify, you know what you want.

Like I know what I want.

I know what my values are. I know who I am.

Who I want to be and then it helps you with the plan,

executing and making that vision real.

So, Align really is the bridge between

your vision and your reality.

It's the bridge between

your current self and your future self.

And I'm super excited because this is something

that I wish existed already.

I don't know why it hasn't already,

but that's why I'm here to make it.

An example of the kind of tracking that I'm looking for

that I think is missing out there right now is

for example, I value creativity and joy.

And so I really value and want to track the times

where I am playing piano, singing, going to concerts

because I love music and going to concerts

makes me feel so good, right?

It really adds to the value of my life.

It's a part of my dream life.

It's aligned to my best self.

And so I would like to track how often I'm doing these things.

And they're not typical habits, right?

Like going to a concert is not a habit

that you would track on a habit tracker,

but it's a meaningful action.

So I want to be able to track meaningful actions

like that and then get the insights of,

oh, this month you spent this much time on creativity.

You spent 50% more time than last month or

you're two times better than last year.

Oh, this year you're really nurturing your joy and creativity.

And there just imagine all the different insights

you can get from tracking the things

that are meaningful in your life.

This could apply to anything from health,

relationships, your career, finances.

It really is meant to like hold a holistic view of your life.

I call it kind of like a finance app

but for your soul, right?

A finance app shows you where your money is going,

where you're spending your money,

where your money's coming in and out.

But this app will help you track your time,

your energy, your mindset, your alignment.

How are you feeling?

Where are you spending your time and your energy?

Where are you feeling fulfilled?

And how is everything that you're doing aligned

to this greater vision of your dream life?

As you can see, I'm very passionate about

this concept and I really hope to bring it to life.

Align is inspired by my intentional living systems like

the Workbook, my Notion templates,

and my day one journal.

And I envision it to have the potential to

become a Notion like tool for personal growth

and life design.

Wait, hold on. Let me show you.

Got Toggi just got a new haircut. Look at him.

Concept number two is Resonance.

So Resonance is a soundbased wellness app

that helps you heal, reprogram your beliefs,

and align with your highest self.

So think of inner peace, inner healing,

inner transformation, manifestation.

This app helps you realign, reset your energy

and transform from within through the power of sound.

So this is basically led by my very popular guided audios

like my guided affirmations, guided meditations.

So it would start with that as its core content

and then expand and go deeper into

sound for healing, sound for manifesting,

sound for resetting your energy, and all of the things

that can help us and our overall well-being.

So this is something that leans more spiritual

and I actually don't think many people or

not enough people realize the power of sound

to heal your body, right?

Not just to reprogram your mind, but just to heal.

There are like healing frequencies,

chakra tones, solfeggio frequencies.

So, a lot of this concept seems like

it's rooted in spirituality and very woowoo,

but so much of it is being supported by science.

And so, it's like science meets

spirituality for the power of sound.

The mission of this app is to

become a sound sanctuary for your soul.

So it is the place that you go where

you want to find peace, where you want

to reset your emotions and your energy,

where you want to work on healing

from within or transforming your mindset and beliefs,

releasing limiting beliefs.

There are so many things you can do through

the power of sound.

And so what's so great and beautiful about sound

is it really doesn't require you to do so much work.

You just close your eyes and you let it do its thing.

Cuz sound is vibration.

And the vibrations kind of move through you,

through your body, and it can be very healing,

very peaceful, very relaxing.

If you've ever gotten a sound bath,

you understand what I mean by

how transformative sound can be.

If you've never tried a sound bath, well, go for it.

And this app will be a gateway to

trying so many ways that you could heal

and transform through sound.

And it's also not just about relaxing

and calming down either, although that's great.

But sound can also put us into a state of flow.

It could help us focus on our work.

It could boost our creativity.

It can do so many things.

And I don't think people use sound

and music as a tool enough.

I talk about using music as a tool

to like shift your state

and to change your energy and to become like

the version of yourself that you want to be.

I've talked about this in like building

your own energy reset routine,

your confidence routine.

There's so much power in just putting on

the right sounds, the right music.

Also, I created this really cute streak reward system

that rewards you for each time you listen with a star.

So, the current visual of it is you are expanding

your inner universe because we are an inner universe.

The more we nurture ourselves,

the more we grow spiritually.

So, anyway, each listen or each session will earn you a star.

Five sessions earns a planet.

Like a planet appears in your universe

and then the more stars you collect,

you create constellations

and then you create galaxies.

Like if you have a 21-day streak,

if you're doing a 21-day challenge

with like affirmations or meditations,

you build a new galaxy.

And so it's just this really fun and cute visual

and branding that's very cosmic.

And I love it because it really fits the whole theme

of sound is energy and energy is everything.

It's a mix between science and spirituality, the universe.

That's the brand. The universe in a very beautiful way.

And so as you can see I am excited about

this concept as well this was one of the ideas

that I kind of pushed to the side because

I'm like there's already so many apps out there

that do meditation or whatever

but I came back to it because

I wanted to test vibe coding which is coding with AI

and I was like oh my Align app

is pretty complex so let me test it with this like

audio audio app, like just a simple audio app.

And so through vibe coding,

just for a day, I was able to create like

80% of what this app would be. And I was like, wow.

And so I see the potential of what it could be.

And also, I have millions and millions

of people and listens on my current audios on YouTube.

And I think it would be a shame to not try to,

you know, try to expand and go deeper on that.

To wrap it all up, Resonance is the app

that's inspired by my very popular guided affirmations

and meditations on YouTube.

And in my vision, I think it has the potential

to become like a Spotify for wellness, spirituality,

and manifestation.

So, although I first brushed off this app because I was like,

"Oh, there's so many things out there already like it."

There are two reasons why I came back to it and I'm convinced.

The first reason is a lot of these like popular meditation apps

Calm, Headspace they focus more on relaxing the mind.

It's more clinical. It's very like meditation

for calming anxiety and whatever.

They're not using audios for affirmations and manifestation.

The way that you can reprogram your mind

and redo your belief system.

So that's what my affirmations do.

And a lot of my meditations have those affirmations

in there and I can create new manifesting visualization audios.

There's so much that you can do that

I don't really think is quite mainstream yet.

And so I think there's a gap there whereas

they are more clean minimal clinical psychological based.

I feel like I'm leaning more into like

the spirituality manifestation side.

The second part is this.

If you are a type of person who knows and is

looking for those healing frequencies,

healing frequency music,

the only two places that are popular to find it

are YouTube and Spotify.

So, we all know like YouTube has so much content

and the audios there are pretty good,

but when you go on YouTube, you get distracted.

There's so many other videos and there's there's just so much.

It's kind of a mess. There's no great way to organize it.

And same thing with Spotify.

Like I use Spotify to listen to people's

playlists of healing music, but it's very limited.

There's not many playlists and even if they are,

I don't know if these are the best songs.

Like I want to be able to, I don't know,

find the best ones and have a place where

I don't get distracted by other things because

there's other things on YouTube and on Spotify.

I want to open a place like an app where

this is for my spirituality, wellness, and

healing and manifestation.

Like it's like a sanctuary. I know everything

I get in here is going to be good quality.

It's not going to be random.

Like the frequencies, music is definitely

curated. It's just good.

I know that it's good for me.

So, I think there's opportunity to create a space like that

because I don't think it exists yet.

So, those are my two concepts that

I'm working on right now.

Let me know down below which one excites you more.

And definitely check out the two landing pages that

I created because I have a sign up form.

If you want to get on the wait list to be

one of the first ones to try these apps,

if you want a beta test or anything like that

or just stay updated with the progress,

then make sure you sign up there.

This is a separate email list than the Lavendaire email list.

So, if you really are interested in the apps, sign up for these.

These are like app only email updates.

I will count your email signups as votes

on which concept you want to see come to reality more.

So, as of now, I am still wanting to create both,

but in the future, I might have to choose one.

I'm not sure.

I do feel like Resonance is much easier to create

and Align is the more complex one that will take longer.

Right? Align I started sketching it last year.

This whole year, for the past, I guess five months or so,

we've been wireframing.

So, the basics of the wireframe is designed out,

but there's still so much left to go on that one

before I can have anything that's testable.

Resonance, I feel like I can bang it out really quickly.

And I am curious how many of the people

who listen to my audios on replay would like

a dedicated app just for that. So, we'll see.

By the way, I also created brand new

Instagram accounts for each of these apps.

I'll put the handles here and links are down below.

Please follow whichever one you're interested in.

It was so fun creating a brand new Instagram account,

just starting fresh with new branding.

Anyway, this whole process of envisioning

and ideating these app concepts has really taken me back.

If you thought this app idea,

this dream came out of nowhere, it really didn't.

Actually in 2013, the year before I started Lavendaire,

I was working on an app idea and I was toying with the concept of

should I be a tech entrepreneur, like in 2013 back then

and I sketched out I made like a Photoshop mockup

of this app concept that I created back then called Mantra.

And the concept was just like a place to organize

your quotes and your favorite like words like

favorite mantras, affirmations or quotes

and you would just like rank them and share them

and it was like this little social media thing.

That was the time in my life where I had just graduated

and I was feeling very lost on what to do with my life,

what direction to take. So I was exploring everything.

So I was doing music, I was doing YouTube,

I was writing on a personal blog and then

I was exploring like should I make an app

and I was taking a lot of online courses.

So I took like a human computer interaction

course online which is basically UI UX class.

I learned design thinking and although

I put the app down and I started Lavendaire

and it became this whole career,

this whole business, it's funny how over a decade later

I'm coming back to this this area, this field, right?

It maybe it's always been a part of me

and it's never left me.

It's always I think back then

I didn't have the resources or the tools

to be able to create an app. It's expensive, right?

Specially back then, you got to hire developers.

It just costs a lot of money.

Now, we are in an era where everything has gotten cheaper.

Technology is more accessible.

We have AI. AI can help you code.

There's so much that you can do.

And I have a design background,

so I know how to use Photoshop and all of these tools,

but now you don't even need to have the skills

or the knowledge on how to use these softwares

because AI can do designs for you.

So, it's crazy the era that we're in and it really excites me.

Of course, there are pros and cons

to this whole technology thing that we're working on,

but my mission here is to use technology

to fuel our growth and our evolving of consciousness.

I never want us to rely on the machines.

I want the machines to support us in our lives

and help us become better human beings.

So, if you have an idea that has been calling you

and asking to be explored, asking to be created

and brought to life, this is your time to do it.

Sending you so much love and

I can't wait to read your comments.

Bye.
