How in touch are you with who you truly are?
When you lose touch with yourself, your sense of worth starts to depend on how well you perform. Answer 15 questions to see where pressure is pulling you away from yourself, and what to do about it. Your result comes with a piano piece to sit with afterwards.
Your result shows which stage you are in
If you found me through my music or a guided practice, welcome.
For decades I followed every note on the page. At the piano, in my career, in my life. I became excellent at performing what other people expected, and I measured my worth by how well I did it.
Finding my way back took one question, asked again and again: what am I noticing about me right now? I made this test so you can ask it too, and see where you are present to yourself and where you have drifted.

The four presence capacities
The questions explore your presence across four areas. Together they spell MOJO.
Mindful Pause
The space you create, or don't, between pressure and your response.
From reactive to responsive.
Openhearted Observation
Meeting what arises in yourself and others with curiosity, not judgement.
From judgement to compassionate curiosity.
Joyful Surrender
How tightly you are gripping control versus trusting what is emerging.
From forcing to flowing.
Original Essence
How connected you are to who you are beneath the roles, the pressure and the expectations.
From performing to being your true self.
What you receive
Your stage
An immediate result showing where you are right now, and what that stage means.
Three personal insights
What your answers reveal about your body's signals, and about performing versus being yourself.
A clear next step
One recommendation matched to where you are and the kind of support that suits you.
A piano piece from Vee
A gift with every result. An improvised piece to sit with afterwards. Nothing to work out, just room to notice.
Losing touch with yourself is more common than you think.
Life today rewards performing over being. Constant connectivity, other people's expectations and the roles we carry all push in the same direction. Capable, caring people quietly put everyone else first and themselves last.
That gap between who you are and who you are performing does not stay small. Left unchecked it grows, and your sense of your own worth shrinks with it. Catching it early matters.
"You have introduced me to myself. I've never felt this kind of deep connection to me before."
