3 Things I Did to Grow from $30/hr to $15K for 6 months as a Coach/Healer | May 2022 | Created by Matt Kjar

Humbled + Honored to have worked WITH

I could tell you that:

I graduated from Harvard where I won a prestigious teaching award.
I gave a TED Talk (yeah, the one on this page).
I was a professor for 7 years and won multiple teaching awards.
I have trained and inspired high-level executive clients from all over the world who work at Chevron, Merck, Microsoft, Samsung and several startups around the globe to name just a few.
I have delivered and developed my own workshops in 16 countries across 3 continents and traveled to 49 countries thus far.
I was voted "51 Most Fabulous Global Happiness Leaders" for 2020 by World HRD Congress.
I have worked WITH clients across 4 continents.
I was asked to join the Forbes Coaches Council in 2020.
I am an #IamRemarkable facilitator.

I would rather tell you that:
In the fall of 2016, I was at the height of my career as a professor in South Korea. I had concurrently been building out my career as a global speaker, sharing my Happiness Workshop WITH incredible humans across the globe. I was even calling myself a Global Happiness Coach. Then in my own personal life, my mom was diagnosed with early onset dementia, and I fell into this deep depression.

The irony was as heavy as my heart was:

I knew all this research and data on science of happiness, positive psychology, neuroscience;
I could workshop the heck out of all of said research and data on happiness;
Yet in my own personal life, I couldn't make myself happy.

So I quit my job as a professor: a job I loved, a job where I had 5 months paid vacation and 4 day work weeks, and got to work WITH incredible students.

And I took the year of 2017 off and in.

I ended up doing some really cool things in hindsight:

Writing my first book WITH vs AT: Two Prepositions that Changed My Life
Becoming a certified life coach and hiring one
Starting a pop-up cafe serving no salt/no refined sugar dishes and desserts
Taking myself on a women's surf/yoga retreat in Bali

[While in Bali, I had a chance meeting WITH a woman named Szilvia who happened to be an energy healer. I told her about these nightmares I had been having and she told me that Theta Healing® an energy healing modality could perhaps help. After just a session WITH her, my nightmares went away. I ended up working WITH her on and off for 2 years.]
And then I was called to:

Become certified in the Theta Healing® technique as a practitioner and trainer; and become certified in Family Constellations as well;
Step into my medium and psychic abilities;
Heal my own depression through this incredible technique;Infuse the incredible techniques in my own work!

Doing a lot of work on myself, beginning my own healing journey, I realized I'd been living my life around the limiting belief of I'm not enough (+ many others). It was never about my mom's dementia diagnosis. It was layers deep. So the first paragraph of my intro here would be what I thought I had to tell you in order to be enough. Now I realize I am enough by just being [a work-in-progress].

I've since tried 20+ alternative healing modalities and I'm on a mission to bring the tools, techniques, strategies I've learned along my healing journey to the world starting WITH you!
