There’s nothing quite like being alive.

40/40 is a guided return to yourself. For 40 days and 40 nights, two short messages a day arrive on your WhatsApp: a voice note to learn something new and try it, and a prompt to reflect on what you noticed.

It brings together ancient wisdom and scientific insight in a way you can feel, so you can make small, real changes to how you experience life.

How it works

Simple, daily and close to life.

40Days and nightsLong enough to notice a real shift, and to lay strong foundations for new habits.

The four pillars

One journey, ten days at a time.

What you consume

What you let in shapes how you feel. Food, water, music, media, words and the spaces around you.

A day inside 40/40

Two small moments that fit around your life.

  1. Learn and doA voice note to start your day, with one idea and one small step to try. Around 10 to 15 minutes.
  2. Share and reviewAn evening prompt to reflect on what you noticed. Write it in your workbook or share it with a friend, and on the January cohort, share it with us too. Around 5 to 10 minutes.
  3. At your own paceListen on a walk, on the train or while the kettle boils. Miss a message? No guilt, just step back in.

What starts to shift

Small steps, adding up over 40 days.

By day 10

You’ll notice what you let in, from food and water to media and words, and how it affects the way you feel.

By day 20

You’ll start to catch unhelpful thought loops before they run the show.

By day 30

You’ll hear your words differently, and begin speaking in a way that matches who you want to be.

By day 40

You’ll be doing more of what feels true to you, with less effort.

A note from Georgina

Why I created 40/40

Inspired by the Theory of Oneness, Quantum Field Theory and a desire to help others, I am always looking to improve my own life, and I use what I find to create tools and strategies to help others do the same.

When lockdowns began in 2020, I was living alone and working for myself, going through some significant personal challenges. They were some of the darkest days of my life. There were times when it became so hard that I went home to stay with my parents for a while.

The solitude was crushing, but it was during this time that I realised an imbalance in the world. Through the smoke and mirrors offered by the media and societal pressures, I set out to discover truth.

40/40 is a soft landing: a collection of some of the most interesting things I found along the way, chosen because they have a direct impact on the quality of your experience of life. I share them one small step at a time, and guide you through all 40 days and nights. If something in you is asking for more from this one precious life, I’d love you to join us.

In their words

From people who’ve taken part in 40/40.

I’ve done a lot of personal development over the years, but this experience felt different. It was more grounded, more human and backed by strong research.
Richard T., 40/40 participant

Is 40/40 for you?

Be honest with yourself. It works best when you’re ready.

It’s a great fit if you

  • Are ready to take a real, honest look at your life and make changes that last
  • Are curious and want to feel the difference for yourself, not just read about it
  • Want change without long calls, packed calendars or overwhelm
  • Can give it around 20 minutes a day for 40 days

It might not be right just yet if you

  • Are looking for a quick fix or overnight results
  • Aren’t ready to commit to the full 40 days
  • Would rather be told what to think than explore for yourself

FAQs

Anything else? We’re always happy to help.

When does the next cohort start?

Our January cohort starts on Sunday 3 January 2027 and runs for 40 days, finishing on Thursday 11 February.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes. If you don’t love it by Day 3, email us for a full refund.

When do the messages arrive?

One at the start of your day, around 8am, and one in the evening, around 8.30pm, UK time.

What do I need?

Just WhatsApp. Everything comes straight to your phone, so there’s nothing to download or log into.

What if I’m busy?

Each day takes around 20 minutes across two short moments, and you can open the messages whenever suits you. If you miss one, just step back in.

What if I miss a day?

No guilt. The messages wait for you, so you can catch up or simply step back in.

Is it religious?

No. 40/40 draws on ancient traditions and modern scientific findings without dogma. You try things for yourself and decide what feels true for you.

Will other people see my phone number?

Only if you choose to join the optional group chat. WhatsApp shows every member’s number to the rest of the group, so joining is entirely up to you. Everything else comes to you privately.

Can I do it with a friend?

Yes, and many people find it even better that way.
