Summary
What if I told you happiness isn’t the goal—and most people don’t actually want it? 🤯
That’s why WE secretly keep self-sabotaging. That’s why we stay stuck. But here’s the truth: As corny as it may sound, rock bottom isn’t the end. It’s the launchpad.
In this episode, we get real about:
Part 1 -
💥 How hitting rock bottom can be your biggest flex (if you know how to use it)
💥 The real reason you keep self-sabotaging (and how to stop)
💥 Why pain is actually part of your success story
Part 2 - (24:35:15)
💥 3 pillars of happiness that actually work (because 'just be positive' is BS)
💥 How we begin to unknowingly self sabotage
💥 The 12 psychological ways your brain is holding you back from happiness
💥The secret to living a happy life
If you’ve been feeling lost, stuck, or like you’re failing at life—this episode is for you. It’s time to stop playing small and start turning your setbacks into your comeback era. 🔗 Listen now & start your glow-up.
