Have you ever felt like you’re meant for more, but you don’t know where to start?
Like you’re drifting through life without a clear sense of why you’re here or what’s next?
If so, you’re not alone, and you’re exactly who I had in mind when I began building this new platform.
But before I tell you what we’re building, I want to share a bit of why.
Why I Started Nova Mentis
Hi, I’m Llewellyn Craddock, and a few years ago, I found myself living in a new country, working remotely during lockdown, completely isolated from everyone I knew. For nearly two years, I hit some of the lowest emotional and mental points in my life.
I was trying to make sense of what was going on inside my own head.
When I finally reached out for help, the very first question I was asked by a psychologist was:
“Have you thought about killing yourself?”
That moment stopped me in my tracks, because it made me realize just how deep the struggle had become.
In the months that followed, I began searching for answers. I turned to Eckhart Tolle, Carl Jung, Alan Watts, Ram Dass… voices that offered profound insight. But as powerful as their wisdom was, it wasn’t personalized. It wasn’t built for my unique experience. And I had no one to walk the path with me.
There was no structure, no guidance, no way to track my progress, and no community to grow alongside.
That’s why I created Nova Mentis. And that’s why I’m now building something more:
a platform I wish I had back then, one designed to help people find clarity, direction, and purpose, with tools and support that actually meet them where they are.
From Cybersecurity to Self-Discovery
Professionally, my background is in cybersecurity, specifically in technical pre-sales. For years, I built intelligent assessment tools to help sales teams qualify leads and understand customer maturity.
This work taught me something critical: when you measure the right things, you can guide transformation.
Later, I mentored sales engineers and built formative evaluations to assess where each mentee was struggling. Those insights directly shaped how I supported them. And when we remeasured later, the growth was quantifiable. It proved that understanding someone’s context is the key to guiding change.
This became the blueprint for what I’m building now.
A Platform That Helps You See Where You Are and Where You’re Going
We’re building a platform that helps you define a vision for your life, something meaningful, aligned, and personal, and then supports you in actually getting there.
Here’s what it will do:
Define Your Vision
You’ll create a clear vision, whether that’s exploring a new career, learning a skill, deepening your wellbeing, or starting something of your own.
You can either create it from scratch or choose from guided vision types (like “start a business” or “explore a new career”) to help shape your path.
Break That Vision Into Steps
Once your vision is defined, the platform helps you map out the steps, what I call masteries, that you’ll need to grow through or accomplish to make that vision real.
Measure What Matters
Each step can be evaluated through tailored questions to help you establish a baseline. That means you’ll know where you’re starting from, and you can track your growth over time.
This isn’t a surface-level quiz. It’s meaningful, personalized measurement, like what I used when mentoring, built to show real progress.
Get Resources That Actually Help
The platform will recommend articles, videos, tools, and even coaches based on your vision, your steps, and what you’re working on right now, powered by vector-based search.
You’ll get what you need, when you need it, without having to search endlessly for the right next thing.
Why We're Starting with a Scorecard
Before we release the full platform, I’ve opened up a waitlist, and I’m inviting you to be part of it.
To join, you’ll take a short 2-minute scorecard that helps you reflect on where you are in your own journey. This helps us learn from you, and helps us build something that actually meets your needs.
Your responses help us:
- Understand what people are struggling with
- Prioritize features that matter most
- Shape a platform built for real lives, not assumptions
Join the Waitlist, and Help Shape What’s Next
If you’ve ever felt stuck, uncertain, or like your life is happening to you rather than through you, this is your chance to change that.

You’ll get:
- Early access to the platform once we launch
- A personalized results page based on your responses
- A seat at the table as we co-create something meaningful
We’re not promising overnight transformation. We’re building something better: a space to grow with clarity, direction, and support.
Thanks for reading, and thank you for being part of this journey.
