The regret I felt at 2AM and how you can avoid living It


Hello Reader,

This week, I woke up sweaty in the middle of the night. Maybe you've had a vivid dream like this before—one that feels painfully real.

I was back in my 9-5, sitting in the office, trading my time for money, hoping that someday, when I felt I had saved enough, I would quit my job to travel the world and start my online business.

The fifteen years I had been on the wrong path flashed before my eyes—from that day in my second semester of university when I had an insight and almost left but didn't listen to my intuition. I was scared of what anyone would think and I had no idea what I would do. Until March 2024, when I finally said farewell to engineering forever.

In my still half-asleep, half-awake state, deep sadness and regret dawned on me. It was at this moment that I realized I'd never be able to travel the world alone as I had always dreamed. I saw how I wasted those years locked in the office just for the money while there was always infinite abundance available outside.

Instead of trying to escape the sadness and regret, I sat with these feelings.

After I came to and fully woke up in the middle of the night, I realized I still can travel in a few years. It will be different with small kids, but I finally felt relief. I love my family and would never change them for traveling.

Then came hope and joy as I realized I was finally on the right path. A path aligned with my soul's purpose, where abundance flows as a result. I felt profound contentment knowing I will never have to go back to engineering. I felt grateful for having a beautiful family I always dreamed of. It's not dreams of traveling as a nomad that drives me anymore, it's taking care of my family and spending more time with my loved ones than any safe job could ever provide.

Why am I sharing this story?

Because the dream was a consequence of the aligned work I do. I co-created a community of guides and coaches at different stages of their journey. While some members have more experience, most are in the early stages of building their practices. We've been exploring what it truly means to create a meaningful, supportive environment.

Through this experience, I've realized that true transformation requires more than casual support—it demands deep commitment and aligned energy. Not everyone approaches their calling with the same level of dedication, which has sparked something important in me. I will share more about that soon.

But I love the idea of communities, having seen many of my friends from workshops over the years thrive in such connected spaces, even while raising families. My wife and I actually plan to move out of the city in 2-3 years too.

What I've come to love about conscious communities is their raw vulnerability and authenticity. The eye-opener for me was seeing how many coaches and guides admit to struggling financially, not getting regular clients, or setting prices that reflect their inner beliefs of unworthiness. This is the reality that is rarely shared on social media.

To explore this further, we created a little challenge in the form of a 40-day prosperity plan with daily affirmations. But affirmations alone aren't enough—they only work when you believe them on a subconscious level, which most people struggle with. So I started recording daily voice messages with releasing sessions, focused on overcoming limiting beliefs about money, abundance, and financial freedom. I got beautiful feedback from a fellow coach:

As I mentioned in the last newsletter, people reaching out to me recently are not just looking for inner work techniques. Most of them have already attended courses and worked with coaches. What inspires them is my journey—they resonate with my path and share a similar dream: to share their healing journey, inspire others, and eventually build their own freedom business. Just like that coach in our community.

If you're reading this, you likely resonate with this idea too.

But most never start. If this is your case—if you're staying in your comfort zone, telling yourself that one day you'll be ready, that you'll have enough knowledge—you need to read this:

The only thing holding you back is you.

The reason most people don't make that leap is their limiting beliefs: around money, being good enough, having something valuable to offer, etc.

I know this firsthand because I struggled with these doubts for years. To be honest, while I have overcome some obstacles, I still have limiting beliefs that challenge me. And I know that overcoming them will help me reach new levels of peace and abundance.

Business is shadow work that beautifully reflects your relationship with yourself. That's why building a business—especially serving as a guide is the best way to work on yourself while getting rewarded for it.

And this is where I need your help: What is your biggest obstacle preventing you from living up to your full potential and creating an aligned business? Let me know in the poll below:

PS: Thank you for reading my letter. I realized I never shared my whole story, so in the coming letters, I'll be sharing more of my personal life as well as some practical tips and strategies.

Evolving together,

Bohus "Bo" Bohunicky

Hello Reader, As I write this, I'm sitting in our hanging egg chair on the terrace, coffee on the table in front of me, watching my 15-month-old son sleep peacefully in his hammock. It's 8 AM on a Sunday, and I've already walked almost 11,000 steps with my newborn daughter strapped to my chest—she's now with my wife. This moment seems idyllic, but it's actually the first time this year I've been able to sit here undisturbed. Usually, my son only naps during the day if he's being carried...

Hello Reader, Prague's first warm days have arrived, and as summer approaches, I feel a bittersweet nostalgia wash over me. For years, I spent these summer days in the streets, approaching strangers. Practicing conversations. Forcing myself into interactions, convinced that repetition would cure my anxiety. Despite talking to thousands of people over nearly a decade, my social skills barely improved. I felt broken. Like there was something fundamentally wrong with me that I couldn't fix...

Hello Reader, I'm writing this from a weathered wooden chair in a cottage nestled near the German border. The rolling hills and green trees seem to radiate a kind of peace you can't find in the city. It's the kind of quiet that lets you hear yourself think. Prague has its own forests—real ones, not just parks—woven between the city streets. But there's something different about being really away. Where the only sounds are wind through leaves and birds announcing the morning. For five days, I...
