My Career
During my psychiatry and mental health career, I found myself striving for external validation. I believed that happiness would come through accolades, achievements, and the approval of others. But no matter how much I accomplished, I still felt emptiness. The chaos in my mind persisted, and I realized I was waiting for happiness to be granted by something outside myself. There came a point when the weight of it all became too much. I was exhausted, defeated, and questioning my worth.
For most of my life, I have felt like I was navigating a world that didn’t quite fit. As an Immigrant and teen mom, the pressures to succeed, conform, and meet expectations often overwhelmed me, and I struggled to find my place. The world around me seemed like a chaotic whirlwind, and I frequently felt like a product of that chaos—constantly trying to keep up but never quite finding my rhythm.
Witnessing my mother’s battle with a severe mental illness was one of the biggest challenges of my childhood. Her struggles deeply impacted me, shaping my understanding of mental health from a young age. Later, as a young widow raising two children, I found myself emotionally drained, which fueled my desire to make sense of the chaos and help others facing similar struggles.
Through this process, I discovered the transformative power of emotional intelligence (EQ). Developing EQ isn’t just about understanding or managing emotions; it’s about moving from a place of mental chaos and pain to one of clarity, purpose, and emotional wellness.
Eventually, the weight of it all became too much. I felt exhausted, defeated, and questioned my worth.
This was the turning point. It dawned on me that in order to help others, I had to first heal myself. And so, my journey of self-discovery began. You might relate to this journey—learning to embrace who you truly are and realizing that the chaos and pain you once saw as a burden can actually become a source of strength, purpose, and insight.
I discovered the transformative power of emotional intelligence (EQ) and learned that developing EQ wasn’t just about understanding and managing emotions—it was about moving from a chaotic mind to a place of clarity. True happiness and fulfillment come from within, not external validation. By cultivating emotional intelligence, I began to navigate challenges with greater resilience and confidence, applying these principles to my personal life and business endeavors.
