I AM READY | MAGAZINE
Quarterly publication exploring personal growth, transformation, and real human stories.
Spotlight: Matthew D. Hutcheson
E.P.I.C.™ Philosophy
Matthew Hutcheson is a former advisor to two White Houses and both Houses of Congress, as well as a Supreme Court amicus. He is an author of 13 books and creator of the E.P.I.C.™ leadership framework focused on resilience, leadership, and human connection. His life reflects both high-level public service and a decade spent in federal prison, shaping a deeply disciplined and reflective approach to adversity.
His composure under pressure and his ability to translate profound life experiences into structure, accountability, and purposeful leadership stood out most.
As our inaugural edition spotlight, we invite you to explore his journey and reflect on how resilience, mindset, and perspective can transform challenges into growth.
Spotlight: Lyndal Schultz
The Proactive Needs & Boundaries Method™
Lyndal Schultz is a qualified counsellor, Self-Authority Guide, lifelong intuitive, and the founder of Stepping Into Me. She is the creator of the Proactive Needs and Boundaries Method™ (PN&BM), a proprietary framework addressing what she identified as the missing layer in mainstream boundaries education. Her work is grounded in 25 years of pattern analysis and 16 years of direct work across trauma, grief, and support contexts. It is also shaped by her own experience of loss, spiritual practice, and the process of rebuilding identity from the inside out.
What she offers is not a gentler take on the same conversation, but a different starting point entirely.
We invite you to explore her work and consider what might shift when you understand what you actually need before you try to ask for anything at all.

Our Purpose, Mission and Vision
Our Purpose
I Am Ready Magazine exists to explore the inner transformation that shapes meaningful change. We create space for authentic human stories that reflect courage, self-awareness, resilience, and personal evolution — illuminating the often unseen moments that precede growth, clarity, and purposeful living.
Our Mission
Our mission is to share the stories, perspectives, and transformational journeys of individuals who lead, create, guide, and inspire through authenticity and lived experience. Through thoughtful storytelling, reflective conversations, and curated insight, we aim to empower readers to embrace intentional growth, self-leadership, and the belief that meaningful transformation is possible for everyone.
"More than a magazine, I Am Ready is a platform for human transformation — dedicated to elevating authentic voices, meaningful storytelling, and the inner growth that shapes a more conscious, courageous, and purpose-driven world".
Our Vision
We envision a world where authenticity, depth, and human-centred storytelling become central to modern media and personal development. I Am Ready Magazine aspires to become a globally recognised platform that elevates real voices, meaningful conversations, and transformational ideas that inspire individuals to live with greater awareness, courage, and purpose.
BEHIND THE INTERVIEWS
BOOKS
Indre reads the books written by interviewees to better understand their story, work, and message.
WORKSHOPS
Indre attends workshops to understand not only the professional expertise of interviewees, but also their emotions, values, and connection with others.
COURSES
Indre explores courses created by interviewees to gain deeper insight into their expertise, knowledge, and professional approach.
PODCASTS
Indre listens to podcasts featuring or hosted by interviewees to gain deeper insight into their perspective, voice, and personal experiences.
As Founder and Editor-in-Chief, I invest deeply in the individuals featured in I Am Ready Magazine. I genuinely seek to understand their work, presence, and personal journey, ensuring the magazine reflects honesty and authenticity—capturing not only what is told, but what is truly experienced and felt.
I place great value on face-to-face interviews, taking time to meet people in person, engage in meaningful dialogue, and develop a deeper understanding of their work. I also immerse myself in their world by attending workshops, seminars, and courses, as well as reading their books, so that each interview is grounded in real insight and lived experience.
My intention is often to help bring forward qualities in people that they may not fully recognise in themselves or may be too modest to express.
If you feel aligned with this approach, you are warmly invited to get in touch to explore the possibility of a face-to-face interview and to share your story with depth and authenticity.

About us
Beyond an Idea
At I Am Ready Magazine, our “About Us” is more than a section — it is a guiding principle that defines how we approach storytelling, creativity, and human transformation.
We believe in precision not as perfection, but as a continuous process of refinement. In everything we create, we aim to elevate standards through honesty, care, and attention to detail.
Precision is not a destination. It is a practice of becoming better, together.
Our Mission
We are committed to supporting creators, writers, and individuals whose voices may have gone unheard, yet never lost their authenticity.
I Am Ready Magazine exists for those who choose purpose over approval and authenticity over expectation.
We are drawn to stories of transformation — stories shaped by resilience, reflection, personal growth, and the lessons that emerge through lived experience.
We believe every story carries value, especially the ones shaped through challenge, change, and self-discovery.
Community & Purpose
I Am Ready Magazine was built not only to inspire, but to contribute meaningfully.
We are dedicated to:
- Elevating emerging creators and writers
- Creating space for authentic and thoughtful storytelling
- Supporting voices often overlooked within traditional publishing
- Collaborating with charities and purpose-driven initiatives
- Building a publication grounded in human connection and shared contribution
This is not a one-sided platform. It is a collective effort shaped by community, creativity, and collaboration.
Every individual who supports our publication becomes part of a wider cycle of contribution — helping us continue supporting meaningful projects, charitable causes, and creative voices that deserve to be seen and heard.
We also welcome conversations with readers and organisations about causes that matter to them, as we believe meaningful collaboration has the power to create lasting impact.
Without our community, I Am Ready Magazine would not exist.
