“I don’t know what I want.”
“I just want to be happy.”
“I feel lost.”
When I first met Libby, she was the first to admit she was not living the life she had dreamt of for herself. Although she kept appearances expertly, her life felt hollow.
The thing was, to all outside observers, Libby looked like she had it all together. She looked happy. The online version of Libby was thriving: she went to Princeton, she made a great paycheck at a hot new startup in San Francisco. When people asked how she was doing she told them she was Great! In that false chipper voice that only half disguised how unhappy she really was.
But underneath she was in deep pain. She was on autopilot, hammering through her days, toughing it out until the weekend when she drowned out the emptiness every way she knew how.
She was cruel to her body.
She numbed her pain.
She pretended her way through life.
When we first met, I asked her what she really wanted – deeply, truly wanted.
And then we got clear what was getting in her way of having it.
I took her through powerful exercises to get clear on the masks Libby was wearing: all the SHOULDS in her life that were trapping her in unhealthy patterns.
It turns out that Libby’s SHOULDS had a powerful hold on her. Maybe you can relate. After untangling a web of fears keeping her from living her most joyful life, we got clear on Libby’s innermost desire: she wanted to be a writer.
Step by step, we created her path to purpose.
She first left her tech sales job and city life in San Francisco to travel the world.
She then started caring for her body, mind, and spirit.
And now, she has nearly finished her first book.
Libby transitioned from living a life of SHOULDS to a life of purpose, and it has completely transformed her life.
Every single one of us has an innate, deep-seated purpose in life, and when we peel back the layers of SHOULDS, when we drop the masks, when we discover who we truly are and what we deeply desire, we step into our true selves and greatest happiness.
You, too, need to drop the SHOULDS to activate your happiest life. And I want to teach you how.
If Libby's story resonates with you, if you're tired of living according to the SHOULDS and crave deeper happiness and fulfillment, I invite you to click here and get in touch with me. Let's talk.
XO,
Carin
