How to Change Your Life Areas

Your enrolled Life Areas determine what content Hypatia focuses on and which community threads you're part of.

To change your areas: Go to Account Settings → Life Areas, or ask Hypatia directly: *"Change my life area to Health"* or *"Add Career to my areas."*

Tier limits apply: Seeker is locked to 1 area. Student can have up to 5. Fellow has all 42 — no changes needed.

What changes when you switch areas: Your dashboard refreshes to show content from the new area. Your session context updates. You join the community thread for the new area. Previous session history remains accessible.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I change my life area?
Go to Account Settings → Life Areas, or ask Hypatia in any session — she can update your areas for you.
How many areas can I have?
Seeker: 1 area. Student: up to 5. Fellow: all 42.
What happens to my progress when I switch areas?
Your progress in your previous area is saved — courses you've completed, insights you've saved, sessions you've had. Switching doesn't delete anything.
Can I go back to a previous area?
Yes — on Student tier you can swap areas freely. All your previous progress is still there when you return.
