CASE STUDIES | Qualitative Data and Client Reflections After Lucid Longing/Private Companioning
A sample of case studies of clients who participated in the 7-Day Lucid Longing Intensive or the 30-day Private Companioning Experience with Maya Frost.
7-Day Lucid Longing Intensive
Client: Ginny, age 54
Lead Longing: joy
Ginny is a full-time caregiver for her mother, who has dementia. She also has two sons, ages 8 and 11, and a husband who has taken on a second job in order to cover expenses due to Ginny leaving her job to stay home with her mother.
From exhaustion, anger, grief, and guilt to founding a weekly Laugh Club in her community.
"Never in a million years would I have believed that I would be laughing until I cried every Wednesday with a dozen wonderful new friends, let alone that I would get the whole thing started!"

Client: A., age 24
Lead Longing: respect/honesty
A. is a graduate student who was deeply aware of the climate crisis and questioning the point of her environmental biology degree program when there was no guarantee that there would be a way (let alone a job) to protect the environment from further destruction.
From despair and isolation to a new sense of belonging among those who share her concerns.
"It's so different living with someone who understands how I feel! I see now how withdrawing was making me even more miserable. As T. (new roommate) says, ‘Misery loves company, but let’s promise to keep our sense of humor, even if it’s dark!'"

30-Day Private Companioning Experience
Client: Lena, age 31
Lead Longing: belonging
Lena turned her isolation and loneliness into a thriving neighborhood community centered around her local Farmers Market.
From isolation, loneliness, and disappointment to joyful community action.
¨I feel like this is the community I always longed to live in. I spend my weekends doing fun things with people I love instead of staying at home and streaming movies.¨

Client: Michael, age 48
Lead Longing: purpose
Michael traded his grief and workaholism for a slow and richly rewarding life in the country.
From grief, misalignment, and disconnection to deep community and regenerative projects.
¨I used to spend my days obsessing about abstract things. Now, I breathe the fresh air, touch the trees, listen to the birds, watch the deer, build useful things with my hands.
I have people I care about, a place I love. I continue to marvel daily at the simplicity of my life now.
It is so much more than enough.¨

Client: Liza, age 56
Lead Longing: reciprocity
Liza wrote to me saying: ¨The metacrisis f*cked up my post-menopausal bliss. Can you help?¨
From climate anxiety and collapse despair to joyful resilience and unexpected love.
¨I was terrified, grieving for what we are losing, and outraged by the decision-makers who are still(!) choosing to put our planet dead last.
[Now] I am a much kinder and sillier version of myself. That is a huge relief, because I was worried I might opt for sad resignation and feel dead inside forever.¨

Client: James, age 29
Lead Longing: usefulness
James turned a discouraging job situation into deeper relationships and a far more meaningful role.
From a crushing climate job lay-off to a fulfilling new life back in his home town.
¨Honestly, it has been amazing to work with people who have good ideas, lots of energy, and a real love for the more-than-human world.
And the icing on the cake? I reconnected with the proverbial girl next door! We are very happy together, and I feel so grateful to be here in my home town.¨

Client: Lisa, age 42
Lead Longing: safety
Lisa found the courage to make a big move that dramatically improved her family's health, safety, and community.
From danger, fear, and resentment to a happy and safe new life abroad.
¨This move has been an incredible gift for our family. Not worrying about our safety has changed our lives.
The girls spend so much time outdoors, playing in the meadow behind my aunt´s house. Being in nature is something they had not experienced, and it has brought so much fun, peace, and learning to our lives.¨
