So I was living in New York.
I was on a work visa, so I wasn't able to leave my job.
And I essentially thought, what are my options here to try and make one small step to move a little bit closer to a better life?
And so I realized that I could move, and I ultimately ended up having my company move me out to California.
where I thought I would be able to have a little bit of a different lifestyle and cultivate some of these new things that were coming into my life.
And then eventually I was recruited to go work at another company in the tech space where there was a great work-life balance and culture.
It was a very supportive place to work.
And while I was there, I also was able to go and pursue my graduate studies in positive psychology at the same time.
So working full time while studying, and then while I was in grad school, that's when I wrote the beginnings of this philosophy as my graduate thesis, arguing many of these same things.
After I graduated, I had no idea what to do with it or how to use it or put it into practice or start a business.
And I ended up going to work for Arianna Huffington at Thrive Global, where I was responsible for building out and running the learning programs of her company.
So I was able to take a lot of these learnings and apply them in an organization.
But eventually I decided I wanted to run my own thing.
And so I left in 2020 to do that.
After I graduated from school, I had all these new tools and insights about happiness.
And when Alex, my partner, got sick, I realized that I had this opportunity to try and put them into practice, even in this very difficult time.
And so I was 28 when he fell ill, and we spent many, many years trying to navigate his illness and the medical system and all the challenges that having a rare disease has.
And so much of...
What I talk about in my work is this idea about true happiness coming from being who you are and using it to help other people.
And through showing up for Alex and being able to practice how I could be there for him, I was actually, in fact, able to tap into a level of well-being that I never imagined and that's certainly not generally associated with being a caregiver and all of the stresses that are associated with that.
