First, let me say...

I know what you're going through!

Just a few years ago, I was miserable at my job. I'd gotten a job out of college as a sales rep for a well-known corporate giant. I thought it was a dream come true at first...until my soul felt like it was eating away at itself.

After a few months, I became a totally different person. I lost my quirky sense of humor, my creativity disappeared and I didn't want to do anything on the weekends other than sleep (or party hard to numb my pain).

I wasted each day doing meaningless work and burying my potential. It was for sure the lowest point of my life.

I was dying to escape, but I had $80,000 in student loan debt and no clue what the right move was.

Something needed to change, but I had no idea where to start. 

I grabbed a piece of notebook paper from my desk and drew a line down the middle. On one side, I jotted down all the things I NEVER wanted in a future career (corporate, sales, business attire, 9-5 grind , micro-managing, etc.) 

On the opposite side, I wrote down all the things I did want– regardless of how wildly impossible they seemed (be my own boss, make my own hours, wear sweatpants, work from home, public speaking and a bunch of other sh** that made no sense at the time). I relied on my job to pay the bills and had no idea what my passion was– never mind how to make money doing it!

Finally, I reached my breaking point! I woke up one morning, and thought to myself (scratch that... BELIEVED HARD) that "I am meant to do something far greater with my life."  

And that belief in myself is what drove me to quit my job (without a plan, just a loose leaf of possibilities) and move 3,000 miles away in search of a solution.

Books, coaches, motivational speakers– I immersed myself into the world of self improvement. And while there were valuable bits and pieces everywhere I went, nothing gave me that 'clear roadmap' I needed to find and build my dream career. I had lots of interests and passions (and of course knew I wanted to wear sweats all day), but didn't know which idea was my golden ticket.

And I actually started to panic and feel more hopeless. I had all this knowledge about improving my life, but I was still unsure what my life's big calling was!

I felt overwhelmed and desperate. Until one day, I came across the phrase "get out of your head and into your life."  The answers to my deepest questions were not found in my mind. In fact, that voice (my ego) was trying to stray me further away from my best life and keep me stuck at the 9-5 just like everybody else.

So from there on out, each day I asked myself, "What do I FEEL like doing in this moment?" I let my authentic self steer the course and I began to explore my very different interests by engaging with each one further– things like TV hosting classes, trying new recipes, reading books, reaching out to local news stations and even trying my hand at greeting cards. 

I began to journal. Does this feel natural? Or does this feel forced? Do I love this? Or do I hate this? What specifically do I like about this? What specifically don't I like about this? Does this feel exciting? Could I do this thing for 24 hours a day for free?

Through major self-reflection and consistent action, I was gaining the clarity I desperately craved.

Each day, I was learning to decipher between my hobbies and my BIG dream. My hope returned. I felt incredibly inspired. My creativity reappeared + ideas ran wild. I was becoming more of myself. And since practicing what I now preach, my life has never been the same. 

I've never had to work a job I hated again. I wake up every single morning with fun and inspiring to-do's. I have a clearly defined purpose in life. I have the freedom to work on passion projects. And for the first time, I don't dread Monday mornings!

I developed a step-by-step system in the process– a CLEAR PATH to guaranteed career happiness. I started to teach this system, started a YouTube channel, gained tens of thousands of viewers, started a podcast and...
