8 Lessons Learned From The Happiest & Most Successful People I Know (Part 1)
I just got back from spending 3 days surrounded by some of the happiest and most successful people I know - and let me tell you, the breakthroughs I had were nothing short of life-changing.Here’s what I realized: the people we admire the most (those who radiate peace, freedom, and joy) didn’t get there by luck. They got there by doing the hard, uncomfortable inner work that most people avoid. And from being in that room, I walked away with 8 powerful lessons that will change how you see yourself, your relationships, and your definition of success.In this first part of a 2-part series, I’m sharing the first 2 big lessons that shook me to my core (and that you need to hear right now):✨ Why you get to define what success means - and how chasing someone else’s version will always leave you feeling empty ✨ The truth about where your real value comes from (hint: healed people will never value you for something external)This episode is part vulnerable story, part perspective-shifting reminder - and it will give you permission to stop hustling for worthiness and start creating a life that actually feels aligned.If you’ve ever struggled with:Comparing yourself to others and never feeling “enough”Basing your worth on your body, income, or achievementsFeeling like an outsider or like you don’t belong…then this conversation is going to feel like a deep breath of truth and relief.This is only part one, so make sure you tune in next week for the rest of the lessons that will expand how you see yourself and what’s possible for your life.💌 I’d love to hear your takeaways!
