My Journey
At age16, my first job as a cashier sparked a sense of purpose and independence that deeply shaped my identity. Each promotion and achievement thereafter reinforced my belief that professional success defined my worth. However, this relentless pursuit of external validation left me physically depleted and unfulfilled. My life became a cycle of battling health issues and struggling to maintain meaningful connections outside of work.
In the summer of 2023, I faced severe burnout and made a pivotal decision to prioritize my well-being. I took an extended break from work, immersing myself in self-care practices such as nourishing food, yoga, and reconnecting with loved ones. This 17-day period of rejuvenation was a turning point, leading me to realize that my worth wasn't tied to job titles or external achievements, but rather to my choices in nurturing health, relationships, and creativity.
Transformed by this experience, I took a bold step six months later and resigned from my job rather than relocating to keep my position. This decision allowed me to pursue my passion for holistic wellness, becoming a certified health coach, nutritionist, yoga instructor, and stretch therapist. I launched Happi Headspace, my dream venture, to guide others towards balanced living through holistic methods. My journey from career-driven burnout to wellness advocate is a testament to the power of aligning with personal values and prioritizing self-care.
