GLOW
Solo — The Inner Journey
The Firefly Effect™ by Erika Entz

A 30-minute reflective journey through the four stages of your own becoming. Draw cards. Sit with honest questions. Let your own light emerge.

All four stages, in order. The complete experience. 4 questions to find where you are right now, then begin there.
Your reflections are private and never stored. Nothing leaves your browser.

This version of GLOW is for you. Not your team, not your family — you.

In my work helping organisations and people through change, I have noticed something. We are often the last person we see clearly. We can name what everyone around us contributes, but our own light? That is harder to reach.

GLOW Solo moves you through four stages: Egg (what have I always carried?), Larva (what am I growing through?), Pupa (what am I becoming?), and Firefly (what light do I want to pass on?). You can take the complete journey from Stage 1, or answer four short questions to find the stage that fits where you are right now and begin there.

There is a gentle AI companion called Firefly who responds warmly if you choose to share what surfaces. The reflection box is always optional. Nothing you write is seen by anyone. This space is genuinely yours.

Give yourself 30 minutes. A quiet space. An honest heart.

With warmth,

Question 1 of 4
Your stage right now
Your Light is Real
You moved through your journey. The honest questions, the things you named, the things you sat with — that was real work. The glow you uncovered belongs to you.

How to Play
GLOW Solo — The Inner Journey
✦ Two Ways to Begin
Take the Full Journey — start at Stage 1 and move through all four stages in order. This is the complete experience and works beautifully if you want to do a full inner inventory, or if the journey is for reflection on someone else's story as well as your own.
Find My Stage First — answer four short questions to discover which stage best reflects where you are right now, then begin there. You move forward from that point through the remaining stages.
✦ The Four Stages
Each stage asks a different kind of question. Take as long as you need in each.
Stage 1
Egg
What have I always carried? Your spark, before the noise.
Stage 2
Larva
What am I growing through? The hard, unseen work.
Stage 3
Pupa
What am I becoming? The in-between with no clear end date.
Stage 4
Firefly
What light do I want to pass on? Seeing yourself clearly.
✦ How Each Card Works
1
Draw a Card
Click Draw Card. A prompt appears suited to your current stage. Read it slowly.
2
Sit With It
Each card has a small instruction on how to approach it. You do not have to write anything at all.
3
Share With Firefly (Optional)
Type what surfaced and click Share with Firefly for a warm, witnessing response. Completely optional, never stored anywhere.
4
Download Your Journal
When your journey is complete, download a beautifully formatted PDF of everything you wrote. Generated in your browser, saved only to your device.
✦ The Three Card Types
Spark
Spark Cards
Discover and name something true about yourself.
Glow
Glow Cards
Acts of generosity towards yourself. Receive credit, name your light.
Dim
Dim Cards
Brave honest prompts. Name what is hard, what you carry, what you have not said yet.
✦ The Only Rule That Matters
✦ Your Golden Rule
You never have to answer a card. If a prompt lands somewhere too tender, draw the next one.

There are no right answers. The first thing that comes is the right thing.

You are the only audience. Nothing you write is seen by anyone else.
