The teachers that I had didn't show me how to have self-love or self-respect or have compassion.

And so that was like my North Star.

I just wanted to feel good.

So everything I did was...

hoping that it would make me feel good.

You know, I felt like if I look better in the gym, I'd feel better, which there's a byproduct.

You do start to feel better making the money.

I'll feel better.

And so once I started doing the deep trauma work around all of the voids that I experienced growing up and all the trauma that I experienced growing up, I started to experience that piece.

And then my success actually 10x started to get bigger.

so much further so much faster because i started to feel better about myself who i was showing up in the world was changing how people were experiencing me was changing that's super fascinating to me because a lot of people make all this money and they never fix themselves but you're saying you did that and it helped you make even more money 100 dude so 2012 i was a commodity broker i was selling precious metals investments and

It wasn't morally aligned with what I really wanted to do in the world, but I was hooked because I thought being rich was going to solve my problems.

And then I was sued by the Federal Trade Commission.

And I remember the day they walked in to serve me with the papers, and I just felt like such a failure.

I couldn't believe that this is where I was at.

I was like, what the hell am I doing?

It was almost like I was in a dream, and I was in a bad dream, and I just woke up.

I was like, what the hell is going on?

And then I go home, and that belief that I'm never going to be good enough, the belief that I'm never going to be loved, the belief that I'm always going to be left happened.

My fiance said I'm out.
