How to Be Happy Now

for HIGH-ACHIEVING PROFESSIONALS

Learn exact happiness and wellbeing exercises I have taught to hundreds of Google employees and other Fortune 500 leaders.

I’m ready!

Why does this matter?

Listen, I know you’re a high-achiever, so I’m going to spill this secret: increasing your happiness actually increases your success, and NOT the other way around, like most of us think.

If you want to create true wellbeing without sacrificing your professional achievements, this is for you.

Research has found that happier people:
  • Have higher income
  • Have superior work outcomes (more productive and higher quality of work)
  • Have larger social rewards (more satisfying and longer marriages, more friends, stronger social support, richer social interactions)
  • Live longer
  • Are more confident
  • Are more creative
  • Are more charitable
  • Experience less stress and pain

Also, a study found that happiness spreads up to three degrees of separation. That means when you feel happy, your friend’s friend’s friend has a higher likelihood of feeling happy too

This means that you supporting your wellbeing makes the ones around you more creative, charitable, and productive too. I’d say that’s a pretty great answer to “Why does this matter?” Would you agree?

“The most valuable thing you presented for me today was actually the thing you said about, if ruminating/over-thinking was actually working, you would have solved the problem by now. That was such a simple concept, but my mind was blown. The overall value I think your program offers is showing how, as humans, we are very much alike. We are biologically wired and have evolved to perceive certain things as a danger to us even if it really is not something life-threatening. And that even the highest achieving people can feel like frauds and make mistakes. So much good stuff that your program puts out.”

sabrina was already experienced in MBSR and still “learned so much.”

“I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to attend your sessions. The information, practical tools, and connection with the other ladies [live cohort] was exactly what I needed at this point in my life. Thank you.”

michelle called the sessions “a gift.”

“I am a senior program manager for a large Bay Area tech company. That means that I live in meetings, and finding time to dedicate to this program felt impossible. I took the leap and made the commitment, and although I had some busy days while taking the training, the reward was worth the time investment for sure!

In Next Level You you'll learn why your brain does some of the things it does and how to stop it from doing some of the things that make it harder to enjoy yourself, your job, and your loved ones.”

erin is falling alseep easier by implementing some of the tools she learned.

“I’ve picked up so many tools to level up my self-confidence! I loved being a part of this. This couldn’t have come at a better time. Also learned different practices on how to stay calm—which I need because school starts next week!”

“If you're feeling overwhelmed with no time for yourself (like I was), you're going to benefit even more by signing up for Next Level You. The workbook is still something I pull out. It’s been helpful to look at the things I was trying as part of the workshop homework and realizing six weeks later I’m naturally doing some of these things week-over-week. I want to say it’s been life-changing, and I know that sounds silly, but it brings me immeasurable joy to practice some of the things I learned.”

“It’s been life-changing, and I know that sounds silly...”

Learn why sharing accomplishments is helpful for your career and personal life; then we’ll flip it around to talk about failure, values, and uncovering core beliefs and fears to understand drivers behind seeking accomplishments.

The practices in this module are especially helpful for those who fall into perfectionism and lean on external rewards or accolades to determine self-worth. 

worthy beyond accomplishments

Imposter Syndrome, or having an Imposter Experience, is one of the most common challenges I hear from friends, clients, peers, and participants. We’ll dig into this topic, talking about how and when this tends to show up, and learn different practices to overcome those moments.

We’ll also spend time examining some of the thoughts that hold us back, so we can raise awareness, and learn how to develop more objective and realistic thoughts.

One of the most powerful ways we can build resilience is by offering ourselves compassion. You might be wondering, “What does compassion have to do with resilience?” Self-compassion is strongly-associated with emotional wellbeing, ability to cope with challenges and lower levels of anxiety and depression.

We’ll also spend time on overthinking and ruminating thoughts, and various ways to stop those spirals to view things more objectively. One participant said using these tools to get out of an over-analyzing loop has helped her sleep better!

Increasing happiness with mindfulness and gratitude is intentionally the foundation for this six-module course. The tools we’ll practice are simple yet powerful, and the benefits continue to grow over time, so I want you to have these first. We’ll do an exercise to boost your mood in one minute, and we’ll talk about things to do to increase your level of happiness for the rest of your life.

If you’re hesitating at the words “mindfulness and gratitude,” that’s great because you’re leaning into the uncomfortable, but I also want you to know there are no healing crystals or meditation cushions needed here. The things I share are super practical and simple.

Here’s What You’ll Learn

LET’S BREAK it DOWN

This is for you if...

YOU’RE LOOKING FOR A SPIRITUAL OR MEDITATION-focused PROGRAM.

yOU'RE NOT WILLING TO EXPERIMENT WITH TOOLS THAT SOUND SILLY OR TOO EASY TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

YOU WANT TO GO DEEP ON ONE TOOL/AREA. (NEXT LEVEL YOU IS A “TASTING MENU” OF WELLBEING RESOURCES.) 

It’s probably not for you if...

YOU’re committed to showing up for yourself and trying new wellbeing strategies.

YOU’RE TIRED OF SPINNING IN OVERWHELM AND STRESS.

YOU’RE driven, ambitious, AND READY TO PUT YOUR WELLBEING AT THE TOP OF YOUR TO-DO LIST.

YOU want a program that includes one-on-one or group support. (next level you is online, on-demand, and self-paced.)

next level you is not for you if YOU want to learn from someone who has reached spiritual enlightenment while living in a yurt and eschewing technology and modern comforts—someone who lives off the land and meditates 2 hours a day. (this person sounds amazing, but this definitely isn’t me!)

You want to climb the corporate ladder and think hustling is the way to do it.

next level you is for you if you want to Learn from someone who was a professional in the corporate world—someone who isn’t perfect but understands what it’s like to toggle between “okrs” and “kpis” to “bath time” and “what are we ordering/making for dinner?”

you don’t have a lot of time, so you need the “Cliffsnotes version” aka, lessons that can be done over your lunch break.

YOU WANT TO LEARN BEST PRACTICES TO HELP YOU ACCOMPLISH GOALS without burning out.

YOU want to learn “the one way to be happy/have peace/have it all.”

you want options. you feel boxed in when someone tells you, “this way is the only way to get x.”

YOU’LL LEARN SEVERAL TOOLS EACH LESSON; THEN YOU GET TO CHOOSE THE EXPERIMENT THAT SOUNDS FUN AND EASILY DOABLE TO YOU. THERE IS NO “ONE SIZE FITS ALL” FOR WELLBEING.

And finally,

So, what'ya say...ready to become the next level you?

Yes!
