Surprise! You asked to learn more about me, and I'm delivering. Tune in for my interview with Alexandra Joy at the second Superhuman Summit.

My story is the epitome of rags to riches. I had it all: power suits, a sports car, and a million-dollar view of Sydney Harbor. But for all the $$ in the bank, my soul felt like it was being sucked into a meaningless black hole.

When you understand that the wheel of working, grinding, and achieving is just a soul-sucking search for significance in all the wrong places, you know it's time to change.

I walked away from the junk I thought I had to have to design the life I really wanted.

I was honored to speak about manifestation, mindset, and the Mindvalley six-phase meditation practice at The Superhuman Summit: Science & Spirituality Series. This series is about how blending science and spirituality enables us to overcome the challenges we face in the world.

Not only did I share my personal story, but we chatted about why happiness is the biggest hack to productivity. We are souls here having a human experience; we deserve more than grinding under fluorescent lights day in and day out.

Hear about the resources that transformed my life, from the inspiring books to discovering the Mindvalley six-phase meditation practice.

Your life is your choice. You, too, can manifest a life that brings you happiness and joy.

Key takeaways & quotes

"My favorite quote, and one that I live by, comes out of the book Conversations with God. Life is a choice. It is what you choose, and you are in control."
Put the soul back in control and you, and you're going to be far more successful. So many of us have forgotten what brings us joy. We've been shat all over, in life, in the corporate world, in the messages the world gives us. Grinding it isn't a badge of honor. Stop. Get to know yourself at the soul-level.
Start tuning into your intuition. Give yourself permission, space, and time to feel inspired. Find ways to be quiet and reconnect with your body and what it's telling you. Write down the things you notice at the end of the day. Recognize the feelings you are having and the signs the universe is sending you.
Reflect over the last year. Is there any time that the universe has kind of like tapped you on the shoulder and said, "you are not on the right course; I'm going to try and reconnect you?" When you don't get it, maybe it taps a little bit harder and harder.
Do you think meditation isn't for you because your mind is so wired? That you can't sit there and think about nothing? Or maybe you don't want to be alone with your thoughts. I was the same way. Why would I want to be stuck with my crazy thoughts? That's why finding Mindvalley's meditation practice transformed my life.
"Negative self-talk and shit holds us back from being able to progress."
Get off the hope-and-pray bandwagon. Manifest in action. Put it out to the universe, and you'll start to get ideas on how something could come about for you. It motivates you into action, and those actions are what make opportunities come.
Realize that everybody else has their own soul's journey as well. We have to give them permission to do it; we can't take responsibility for everyone else's journey.
