Happiness Solved with Sandee Sgarlata. In this episode, Sandee interviews Anish Patel. Anish began his career like many others—grinding through the 9-5 hustle in the heart of London. But by 25, he felt a deep sense of unfulfillment, so he embarked on a daring adventure to South America. Over the next seven years, he experienced the extreme highs and lows—from hitting rock bottom financially to building a seven-figure video advertising company in record time. However, success came at a cost. He crashed into severe burnout and depression, pushing me to seek answers to life’s deeper meaning. This quest led me through wild phases of heavy partying and drug use, and eventually to various healing and therapeutic practices. I experimented with art, explored poetry, and even dabbled in acting. His journey then took a profound turn toward self-development, spirituality, and psychology. Over the next seven years, He delved deep into Somatic Experiencing, Energy Work, Attachment Therapy, Masculine-Feminine Polarity, and much more. He healed his alcohol and drug addiction. After a massive spiritual crash in 2021 he had a massive awakening. He discovered most profound truth Presence. The art of allowing life’s energy to flow through you, unlocking your greatest creative potential. In process he healed his racial shame and a massive sex addiction which had haunted him most of his life. Now, with his system of 10 principles, container work, energy work, and 12 years of experience in both relationships and business, he helps clients achieve lasting, authentic success.

292. From Confused to Clarity: Finding Your True Calling Through Self-Discovery with Sandra Possing

Happiness Solved

03/13/24 • 42 min

Happiness Solved with Sandee Sgarlata. In this episode, Sandee interviews Sandra Possing. Sandra Possing is a life coach, speaker, and entrepreneur. Through her 1:1 and group coaching programs, social media, writing, live streaming, and speaking engagements, she inspires, empowers and challenges people to seriously step up their game. Growing up, she remembers spending a lot of time feeling self conscious, uncomfortable in her own skin. People pleasing, perfectionism, self doubt, and worrying what other people thought all got in the way of her living up to her potential. After a while, the deep ache of not stepping up and into what she knew she was capable of became too painful and she started soul searching, as if it was her job. Personal development changed everything. As she got more clear on who she is and what she wants, and started to take action, things began to fall into place. Eventually she found her way to the coaching world, and felt like she had come home. It was a huge relief to discover the entrepreneurial path - one just as full of uncertainty and risk as it was with limitless possibilities. The first few years were rocky, but consistent mindset and personal growth work plus hiring mentors and being in community with fellow coaches and entrepreneurs kept her and the business on a steady forward trajectory. Sandra and her husband are digital nomads and regularly travel around the world, prioritizing adventure, connection, and joy.
