he A.W.E. Framework: Awakening, Wonder, Expectancy

Transformation isn’t about quick fixes—it’s about a new perspective on yourself and your story. The A.W.E. framework is the backbone of Be The Firefly’s coaching process, helping you move from stuck to thriving.

Breaking Down A.W.E.
- Awakening: Redeem your past. This phase is about honest reflection—facing the stories, wounds, and limiting beliefs that have shaped you. Only by awakening to your true history can you begin to heal and grow. Our goal here is to move from bondage to freedom. But before we can be free, we must fully understand what we are in bondage to. We work through:

Awareness: Awakening to the entirety of our story that we carry within us. Strategic questions help us move beyond unconscious energy, emotions, and experiences and bring our story into consciousness so we can work on our core beliefs.

Acknowledgement: Taking the heightened awareness of where our limiting beliefs were born and seeing them in the framework of our current choices and circumstances in our lives.

Acceptance: This is not complacency or acceptance of where we currently are in our story; instead, it is owning our story and speaking the truth of where we are. Every successful journey has a powerful beginning.

Action: In this stage, we work to break completely free from old thinking and beliefs, and lay a foundation based on truth, freedom, and self-belief

- Wonder: Reclaim your present. Here, we cultivate curiosity about who you are now. Instead of judgment, we invite wonder—What’s possible for me today? How can I show up with authenticity and courage?

This is the phase where we embrace our freedom and move into healing the parts of us that were hurt from holding on to the lies and limiting beliefs in our story.

We do this by using four questions as guides to help us self-assess our current state.

How do I see? (the world around me, myself in the world, and how I feel others see me). How do I hear? (Using belief mapping and emotional experience processing, we assess the strength of our self-talk. How do I move? (Am I being fully present, or am I still looking back into my past with regret, or my future with anxiety?) How do I believe? (This is an honest self-assessment of how I value myself in my newfound freedom

- Expectancy: Reimagine your future. Expectancy isn’t just hope; it’s a confident anticipation that your life can change. We work together to set intentions, map out new beliefs, and build practical habits for ongoing growth. We use Be The Firefly’s Eight Core Flow framework to help develop and initiate a lifelong process of intentional, consistent, and encouraged personal growth focus.

Why A.W.E. Works
Most people get stuck recycling the past or worrying about the future. The A.W.E. framework grounds you in the present, empowering you to learn from what was, embrace what is, and dream about what can be. We utilize tools from the I AM Theory and the B.E.A.C.H. Flow Mindset methodology throughout our journey from freedom and healing into a lifelong pursuit of growth.

Takeaway
Growth is a journey, not a destination. By moving through Awaken, Wonder, and Expectancy, you create a foundation for real, lasting transformation.
