Finding Balance:
My Journey to Authentic Wellbeing

For as long as I can remember, I’ve been known as the “positive one”—the person who always saw the silver lining, who believed that a smile could solve anything. Optimism wasn’t just a mindset; it felt like a part of my identity. But as time went on, something started to feel… off.

​

No matter how much positivity I poured into situations—whether my own or others’—it didn’t always lead to the outcomes I expected. That’s when I started to wonder: Could being too positive actually be harmful?​​​

Curious, I began diving into the science of wellbeing. That’s when I encountered the concept of toxic positivity—the idea that overemphasizing positive thinking can invalidate real emotions and experiences. I realized that, in my effort to uplift others, I might have been ignoring the very emotions they needed to process and grow from.

 

​That realization sparked a deeper desire: I wanted to truly help people, not unintentionally hurt them. So, I pursued formal studies in positive psychology, and the journey has been transformative. I learned that happiness isn’t a one-size-fits-all formula. It’s deeply personal, shaped by our unique experiences, values, and perspectives.

​

One of the most powerful insights I’ve gained is that we all have the ability to influence our own happiness and wellbeing—more than most people realize. Sometimes, even the smallest adjustments in our mindset or daily habits can steer us in a better direction. But it’s not about being positive all the time. It’s about finding the balance between positive and negative emotions, understanding what each feeling teaches us, and knowing how to navigate life with greater self-awareness.

​

Through my journey, I’ve discovered the profound impact of mindset on our wellbeing. And the more we understand ourselves, the easier it becomes to adjust our perspective in ways that truly serve us. While it’s been a long road filled with learning and unlearning, I’m still evolving—and I’m passionate about sharing those learnings with you.

​

If you’re ready to explore what happiness means to you, discover the power of your own mindset, and find balance in both the highs and lows, I’m here to support you on that journey. Together, we can unlock the tools and insights that will help you live a more authentic, fulfilling life.
