Start Living at The Limits That Set You Free

You’re built for more. Bolder experiences, more meaningful achievements, and a full, adventurous life. And while strong in many areas, you can’t seem to catch a break in others. It’s in those gaps where adversity catches you off guard and derails your best laid plans. This happens to us all.

In High Agency Human: Navigate Adversity and Live Big, decorated military veteran and registered nurse Vickie Lanthier shares the mindset and practical frameworks that help you weather storms and remain unshakable in the pursuit of your goals. Drawing from research, interviews, and her own lived experience, Lanthier shows how to:

  • Identify and fill gaps so you won’t be caught off guard again

  • Bounce back faster from financial crisis

  • Move from reaction to intentional, confident action

  • Increase your influence on your own life

The hard times will persist but so will you. This is your playbook for living big, no matter what life throws your way

High Agency Human Mission

Our mission is to empower individuals to embrace their inherent agency, navigate adversity with resilience, prioritize well-being, and proactively prepare for a future full of possibilities.

It’s Your Life - Take Action

Leveling up isn’t easy. You’ll have to do things that are best for you even when you don’t feel like it. There will be set backs, challenges, and naysayers. You can opt out, but risk missing out on what life could have been. It’s time to create the break you can’t catch.

Core Components of High Agency Human

The core of High Agency Human is in our ability to:

  • Implement Radical Reduction (digital, stuff, other aspects of life as needed)

  • Master the Mundane (nutrition, physical activity, stress management, restorative sleep, social connection, and avoidance of risky substance use)

  • Boost Protective Buffers (plans/paperwork, skills, health, finances)

  • Adopt High Agency Mindsets

  • Live Big

We’re living at the edge of the wrong limits.

We live at the upper limits of our financial means, stress levels, disconnectedness, and ability to mistreat our own bodies. What happens when we live this way? We can’t catch a break. A flat tire breaks the bank. Stress becomes illness. Communities crumble. Any new hurdle, no matter the size, becomes unmanageable because there are no buffers in place to withstand them. No emergency fund. No general good health. No connected community to lean on.

  • In 2023, Bankrate reported that one in five Americans have no emergency savings. While one in three people do have emergency savings, it is not enough to cover three months of living expenses.

  • APA’s Stress in America™ survey top line results for November 2023 indicate that top stressors include finances, caregiving, and health.

  • Authors of Outlive, Dr Peter Attia with Bill Gifford, identify heart disease, cancer, neurogenerative disease, and type 2 diabetes (including metabolic dysfunction) as the “Four Horsemen” as these conditions are leading contributors of death for the majority of people.

  • The U.S. Surgeon General’s office released an Advisory in 2023 on the Healing Effects of Social Connection and Community highlighting the significant health risks of loneliness which include a 26% increased risk of premature death, 29% increased risk of heart disease and a 32% increased risk of stroke.

Our current baseline makes the normal hurdles in life less manageable.

Let’s change that. We’re going to build buffers and start living that the limits that set us free - at the edge of our comfort zone, optimal health, fitness potential, investment capacity, intellectual curiousity, skill sets, and connectedness.
