Build my wheel
"The Wheel of Life is the very first exercise I do with every new coaching client. It cuts through the noise and shows you, in two minutes, exactly where your life is calling for attention. A 3 is not a failure — it is an invitation. And sometimes a 10 is where the real work begins."
Ilana Jankowitz — Certified Money Coach, NLP Practitioner, Inside-Out Money Coach

The eight dimensions
Each spoke represents a key area of life. Your scores personalise the insights below.
Home
Your living environment — does it support you, reflect who you are, and feel like a sanctuary?
What does your home say about you? How does it make you feel? Your home is more than four walls — it is a reflection of your inner world. When your space feels right, everything else flows more easily.
Common challenges
Clutter and overwhelm Disconnection from space Neglecting environment Housing stress Feeling unsettled💭 "If you could change one thing about your living space, what would it be?"
Money
Your relationship with finances — awareness, alignment, and peace of mind around money.
Do you know what is going on in your finances? Are you aligned with your partner about money? Money touches every part of life, yet many of us avoid looking at it honestly. This dimension is about financial awareness and emotional peace, not just the numbers.
Common challenges
Avoidance of reality Impulse spending Unresolved debt stress Income anxiety Money shame💭 "On a scale of 1 to 10, how at peace do you feel with your financial situation?"
Work
Whether your work aligns with your purpose and brings genuine fulfilment.
Are you living your true purpose and doing what makes you happy? Work takes up a huge portion of your waking hours. This dimension explores whether that time feels meaningful, energising, and aligned with who you truly are.
Common challenges
Burnout and overwork Feeling stuck or unfulfilled Working on others' dreams Lack of autonomy Dread and exhaustion💭 "Are you living your true purpose, or spending your days on someone else's dream?"
Relationships
The quality and depth of your friendships and connections beyond romantic partnership.
When did you last tend to the friendships that feel like family? Relationships are the fabric of a rich life. This dimension looks at how connected you truly feel, whether you are investing in the people who matter, and whether you are showing up authentically.
Common challenges
Isolation and loneliness One-sided relationships Neglecting friendships Avoiding vulnerability Surface-level connections💭 "When did you last tend to a friendship that feels like family?"
Health
Physical wellbeing — check-ups, sleep, nutrition, and the basics that sustain you.
When was your last check-up? Are you sleeping enough? Health is the foundation everything else rests on. This dimension is about honest self-care, not perfection, but consistent attention to what your body needs.
Common challenges
Neglecting basics Ignoring warning signs Poor sleep habits Chronic stress Avoiding the doctor💭 "When was your last check-up? Are you sleeping enough?"
Movement
Physical activities that uplift you and give you energy — not punishment, but joy.
Do you fit activities into your day that uplift you and give you energy? Movement is not about gruelling gym sessions. It is about finding activities that light you up, release tension, and leave you feeling more alive.
Common challenges
Sedentary habits Exercise as punishment All-or-nothing approach Guilt about rest Body disconnection💭 "Do you move your body in ways that feel genuinely good, not forced?"
Enjoyment
Doing things purely for pleasure — fun for fun's sake, without guilt or justification.
Are you doing things just because they bring you pleasure? Many of us have forgotten how to play. We justify every hour with productivity. This dimension asks: when did you last do something purely because it made you smile?
Common challenges
Guilt about downtime Forgotten hobbies Productivity obsession Fear of wasting time Living for others💭 "When did you last do something purely for fun, no productivity, no purpose?"
Purpose
Daily practices that keep you aligned — meditation, gratitude, journalling, reflection.
Do you have a daily practice? Purpose is not just about your career. It is about the rituals and reflections that connect you to something bigger than yourself. This dimension explores whether you are tending to your inner compass.
Common challenges
Lack of reflection time Disconnection from meaning Living on autopilot Unclear values No sense of direction💭 "Do you have a daily practice that grounds you?"

How to read your wheel
Balance, not perfection
The goal is not eight 10s. A balanced wheel means your life feels intentional. Someone scoring 6 across the board may be more aligned than someone with three 10s and five 2s.
Gaps are invitations
Low scores are not failures. They are areas calling for your attention. Sometimes the most powerful coaching conversations start with a 3 on the wheel.
Everything connects
The dimensions are not independent. Money stress affects health. Purpose affects enjoyment. When one spoke rises, others often follow.
Track over time
Your wheel changes as you grow. Many clients retake the assessment every few months to see which spokes have grown and which still need attention.
"I have never seen two wheels that look the same. Your wheel is as unique as you are, and that is exactly the point."
