What would happiness feel like?
For much of my life, particularly until I turned 45, I was in a relentless pursuit of happiness. I believed it resided in being loved and in constantly seeking approval from others.
If I could just be better, then I would be loved. There I would find happiness.
There, I would have connection.
I would be OK if you were okay with me.
No amount of external validation could fill the void within me, for it was a void that could only be filled from within.
I had, and held all the keys… no matter how much trauma, no matter how much self sacrificing, I could not control the external world I could only change my internal happiness.
So when we go out as a collective, you can see that we’re all impacted by the vibration of happiness. But when the world falls away and it’s just you and you, where do you go to be happy?
Not content, but true peace, and happiness.
Discussing happiness inevitably involves exploring the role of the ego in our lives. The ego acts as our protector, serving as judge, jury, and sometimes executioner—it determines what's right or wrong, good or bad, and strives to shield us. It's the realm of regrets and what-ifs, where our inner critic thrives.
Identifying the ego is recognizing its narrative. It’s full of stories. These are the familiar stories we tell ourselves, the recurring patterns we've experienced before.
Every day, we're bombarded with over 65,000 thoughts, and surprisingly, 85% to 95% of these are repetitive. With the vast majority of our lives influenced by the subconscious, our conscious mind, which makes up just 5%, holds the power to intervene, to choose a different emotional response. It's not about sidestepping grief or life's challenges; it's about recognizing that happiness is within your reach.
Consider your soul, your heart's energy—it's the force that seeks to enrich your existence. It's like Beyoncé's new country album: a captivating blend of the familiar and the unexpected.
First to become Unstoppable, I had to stop.
It’s spring of 2012–
I’m standing in my kitchen,
I’m trembling, and holding a prescription for another 20,000 mg of injectable pain medication for the month.
This was my usual 30 day refill.
Yes, I know that’s hard to calculate, it’s a massive quantity, and I took it for many years.
If your wondering—
It’s enough to kill an elephant.
This time something was different.
This time I paused.
I had a pit in my stomach.
This time I was more terrified of the medicine… That I was in pain.
The pain?
Irretractable Migraines.
Crushing debilitating, incomprehensible pain. UCSF said I was in the top 2% that suffered at this level. I worked with a best neurologist and he had no idea what to do for me.
I never wanted to fill out a control…
But my life was spiraling.
I have lost years of my life to illness, and standing there, which was only 5 minutes and honestly felt like hours-
I chose to tear up those scripts.
and I’ve never had another prescription filled.
Have you ever had to make the decision to let go of something that you thought was vital for your safety?
I had believed up until that point that the medicine was saving me.
I had planted a spiritual seed that day, but had no concept of it.
I will tell you that at the time it didn’t feel so empowering it felt terrifying.
How many of you have a story?
The story that keeps you from living the life you desire.
A perfectly rational story for staying in a life choice you’ve come to despise.
What I know now…
Is that I lived in a lot of fear.
I made fear based decisions.
But claiming that one small step— led to another, then another…and then another.
I stepped into my true authority.
I begin to make different decisions.
I was no longer the victim in my life.
How do we reclaim and redirect our life?
One micro decision at a time.
As a life and executive coach, I have worked with some of the most respected professionals in multiple fields today. My background as a business lobbyist, years of working with addiction, and my extensive experience in the corporate and solopreneur world has allowed me to create programs utilized by professionals around the globe to assist and process transformation. I set unbreakable sales records in health MLMs that remain unbroken to this day.
