10in10 Aaron Solly - Depression is Anger turned Inward

Aaron Solly, the founder of Engage Coaching Group, is a banker turned coach, author, educator, father of two amazing boys, and husband.

At 37 years old, he was overwhelmed and in a deep depression in the basement of his home. He was working in the financial services industry feeling stressed out and not happy with his career. His first marriage was failing. His first son was 2 years old. His world felt like it was falling apart all around him. On that day, he decided to shift his perspective from “Why is this happening to me?” to “What is this for?”

The famous psychologist Carl Jung stated
“Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.”

When life struggles happen such as the fear of losing your job, a marriage breakdown or being in the dark cloud of depression, the answer is not from an outside source.

The answer comes from going within yourself and connecting to your values, your purpose and all the feelings that are part of who you are.

Alaina had many careers before her introduction to the world of finance. She went from over 300lbs and over $100,000 in debt to a successful financial advisor, podcaster, and community leader who is focused on giving people opportunities to create their best life.
In Alaina's words:
"I am a red seal pastry chef and followed my passion for food to a really dark place. Obesity, addictions, struggles with depression and anxiety... Carpal Tunnel forced a change in careers and thankfully it did. After baking I started in industrial sales which led to operating equipment which led to layoffs and frustrations and the opportunity to become an advisor. Now, I help people learn about money and find huge satisfaction providing education and awareness on how money works and how to live your best life."
