Forty years ago, Dr. John Trent created the concept of LifeMapping as a way to help people break free from isolation, loneliness, and chaos and move into a place of connection, caring, and calmness.
I discussed this idea with Dr. Trent and his daughter, Kari Trent Stageberg, on our Focus on the Family Broadcast “Finding Real Purpose in Your Life.” LifeMapping helps you reach your full potential by recognizing positive and negative life patterns.
When the idea first came to Dr. Trent, he stayed up late that night working out the concept, categorizing life into eight categories and subcategories. The next day, he used the system to help a client change toward a better future. Since then, he and Kari have used the system to help many other people.
Our conversation unpacks how the system works, including:
- Knowing your strengths
- Understanding emotional freeze points
- Authentic living instead of image management
- Crafting a clear plan for your future
- Memorial markers
