[Certainty Renewal] A New Form of Session to Weave the 'Chapters of Life' Together

Hello.
I am Ayaka Kimata, a 'Life Editor'.

With the concept of 'One story for every person,' I operate the note media 'Certainty'.


[Certainty, which surpassed 500 followers in half a year]


'I'm working so hard, but customers aren't coming.'
'I can't seem to organize my past experiences well.'
'I have the passion, but it's not reaching anyone.'


I help solo entrepreneurs and freelancers who are struggling with these issues by unraveling their lives and organizing the ways of thinking and values they hadn't noticed themselves.

And I help them leave behind 'works = articles' that convey their passion.


By putting their past life and thoughts into words, they can acknowledge the self that has worked so hard.
Those words reach someone,

leading to new encounters and work.This is the goal I am aiming for.

This is the goal I am aiming for.

The certain changes happening at 'Certainty'


'Certainty' has surpassed 530 followers in half a year, and many works have received over 100 likes.


What drives me more than the numbers are the words I receive from my clients.

Each one was so emotional that I couldn't believe it was text born from a session, and it made my heart race.

I was so moved that it's hard to put into words. We were supposed to have spent the same time together, so what is going on inside your brain, Kimata-san?

It was a session where you never denied the other person, yet you asked questions that hit the nail on the head.


One person, after reading their completed work, said:

This is a letter addressed to myself, and I will make it a love letter to people who are struggling just like I was in the past.

That is how you expressed it.
Those words save me, too.


The effects of 'editing your life' go beyond just emotional changes.

Every time I receive a joyful report saying, 'Kimata-san! Listen to this!',
I am the most surprised person of all.


・From zero to 5 times the customers
Lecturing offers
from prominent organizations・90 applications

for a 5,000 yen/month online salon・Speaking at universities ・Book publication
inquiries ・Found business partners


I spend my days overwhelmed by the intensity that arises when 'certainties' dwell within words.


[The current success of those who found their 'certainties' is truly amazing]



I, who used to be a resume geek


To begin with, why do I engage in 'life editing' activities?

My turning point was a setback at the airline I joined as a new graduate.
I quit the glamorous world I had longed for after just one year,
and there was a time when I was depressed, thinking, 'I have nothing.'


After that, through a connection, I started working as a university career advisor,
and I edited over 900 student resumes in one year.

Actually, I was so obsessed with writing resumes during my own job hunting (laughs).
I would research companies,
'Finding and articulating the common ground between myself and the company'
was a task I loved so much that I was considered an eccentric.

Influenced by that, I worked at a university as a career advisor,
spending my days in repeated dialogues of over 2 hours
with more than 300 university students.
Based on what the students told me, I would write
a 400-character 'self-promotion' or 'statement of purpose' on the spot.


Even as a child, I was the type to finish my book reports on the first day of summer vacation, but
'putting unspoken thoughts into words'is a passion that
has not changed since then.


After giving birth, I became a freelance writer,
and I have interviewed over 150 entrepreneurs.
That is where the idea of'One story for every person'came to me.

Even experiences that seemdisconnected at first glance, thetime spent struggling, and even the
choices that seem like detoursall turn out to be
'foreshadowing'when you look back.


However, organizing your own story alone is surprisingly difficult.
That is why I realized that through dialogue, a third-party perspective to look at things from above,
a presence to edit life is necessary.



A new form of session where we weave the chapters together


Half a year has passed since the release of 'Tashikana Koto' (Certain Things),
and the style of the sessions has been changing little by little.


In 'Tashikana Koto', we hold2-hour x 2 sessions.
In the first session,

・Why you wanted to look back on your life ・The purpose of creating the work
are organized, and

we create the chapters of the story together.In the second half, as the dialogue deepens,


a moment arrives when the client's true feelings and my intuition click perfectly.
Then, suddenly, the story that shapes that person descends.


'Ah, this is it...'


Once I am convinced of that, I begin typing furiously for about 5 minutes.
First-time clients are surprised by the suddenness,
but they watch quietly, witnessing the chapters being built.

Artists often say, 'The lyrics descended from the sky,' and
the feeling might be close to that.

However, it is not something I created with my own ability.
It wells up within me precisely because I have touched the thoughts, hesitations, and the 'true wishes' dwelling in the edges of the words of the client in front of me.

Therefore, the author of 'Tashikana Koto' is the client,
and I am merely the editor of their life.


A high-stakes chapter structure that tests your true ability


To be honest,
on the spot,creating a chapter structure is extremely difficult.Truthfully, I would rather take it home and think about it carefully by myself (laughs).

Nevertheless, why do I do such a difficult thing in front of the client?

It is because I want to turn thepassion I feel during the session directly into words.

Above all, I want you to witness in real-time the process ofyour own life vividly becoming a story.
'Yes, that's exactly what I wanted to say!' 'I can't believe my past connects in that way...'

'I never knew I could describe myself from this angle...'


That surprise shakes your cells, and the moment the session ends, it turns into an irresistible urge to
'I want to tell someone right now!'
This energy is what makes your self-expression self-sustaining and becomes the 'gravitational pull' that attracts fans.


[What I am feeling during the session]




'Writing' is not the goal


I do not make writing text the goal. In the extreme, it doesn't matter if you write or not.

What is important is that the client finds their'certainty'and reaches a state where
they feel an irresistible urge to share it. This is the goal of 'certainty'.


'Why do I do this?'
'What experience did this passion come from?'
'Who do I want to reach, and with what?'


Once that is put into words, a person can start running without hesitation.
That might be 'writing,' it might be taking photos, it might be listening to people's stories, or it might be creating a new product.

'This is me'
Once that is decided, what you need to do is decided immediately.


In fact, a person who took my session the other day
launched their own new service in just a few days and recruited monitors.
It was full in no time.
'When I talked to you, Kimata-san, I felt like I had to do it! I had to share it!'
they said, while hurriedly preparing.


I am truly filled with gratitude.
Thanks to you, all spots were filled last night.
I am sincerely grateful for your planning ability and warm support, Kimata-san.

The message that person sent me



For your own unique 'editing of life'


It has been half a year since the release of 'Tashikana Koto'.

While changing its form little by little,
it has become a place that stands closer to your life more deeply.


It is okay if your life is not one that others call amazing.
It is okay if you do not have an impressive title.
Your journey so far always has meaning, and you have a story that is uniquely yours.

The tears you shed in places where no light reached,
and those days you struggled so clumsily,
are irreplaceable pages that color the book that is you.

It is within those feelings you never told anyone that
the purest 'you-ness' resides.


Why not edit the past that you couldn't see alone together with me?
Hoping that the work will one day become someone's courage.
