You're Not Broken: The Happiness Industry Has Been Lying to You
Are you exhausted from doing "all the right things" but still feeling empty? You're not alone, and more importantly—you’re not broken. In this raw and honest episode, I expose the Happiness Industrial Complex that’s been lying to us about what it takes to be happy.

Key Affirmations & Declarations (Copy & Paste): For your nervous system: "We are safe, we are supported." When checking finances: "Money flows to me with ease. I am supported and sourced." When you feel guilt around comfort: "I let comfort be safe for me. I am worthy of ease." Your New Identity: "Today, I retire the identity of the scarcity manager. I no longer micromanage lack, I steward overflow. My environment reflects spaciousness, my money circulates and returns multiplied. Generosity feels safe in my body. I'm available for ease, for support, for unexpected blessings. I act from completion, not from chasing. I am the person my future needed me to be. Now."
