My life changed forever when I almost died in a car accident while working in Mexico.Luckily I was fine physically - outside of a few bruises and a broken bone in my left wrist. Mentally, well that was a different storyI had developed PTSD and it affected every aspect of my work and life. Eventually I had to leave my job at Microsoft due to stress and burnout. I rediscovered meditation to try and feel better, then picked up yoga, then discovered coaching. Before I knew it I had built enough emotional resilience to still experience joy even if I was struggling with PTSD symptoms. I realized that joy can be experienced independent of conditions if we’ve strengthened the “muscle” enough. At that moment it became clear that my purpose was to help others cultivate joy through exercises.So I started The Joy Gym! Now stressed and unfulfilled professionals come to me when they want to create more satisfaction and joy in their lives.
