Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (2): Yvonne Gallagher, philgoddard

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Create the life that is right for you

Is one option.
Another "create your best life" (not a fan of that use myself but it's very popular!)

Create/Live your best possible life

Make your life the real you

This might work too ..
I toyed with ' make your life yours' implying people neglect their real selves...

Create the / a life that matches you

Example sentence:

It starts with accepting yourself, learning how to stand up for yourself (or others), and then crafting a life that matches you.

Create the life that matches you best! You are not the same person you were a year ago or 3 years ago.

Peer comment(s):

agree Adrian MM. : It's odd that no poster seems to have searched the ProZ Glossaries first for a 'near-match' https://www.proz.com/kudoz/french-to-english/advertising-pub...

Create the life that you were meant to live

I would say this. I see this sort of thing as re-finding the real you and going down the pathway that for some reason you never found before.

(or "Create the life that was meant for you")

Maybe even "FIND THE LIFE" could work here perhaps?

Develop/Create a life that embodies you

For a workshop that's focused on several things, i.e. creativity, mindfulness and well-being, I would consider going with "develop" instead of the literal "create", as it emphasizes more that it is a gradual process rather than a spontaneous/short-term objective as may often be associated with "create/creativity".
I also feel that "embodies" is a good representation of what a workshop like that is aimed at, that is, being an expression of or giving a tangible or visible form to (an idea, quality, or feeling).
Just my two cents :)
