✨Are you ready to unlock your unique code to manage your energy?✨
👇🏽Open up for a bit of my journey, life philosophy, & join in on my workshop this month! 👇🏽
Hello Builders,
May is here and it's giving me the mental stimulation I need. Spring has arrived, and I feel refreshed after the last couple of years. During this time, I've been wanting to launch something, but I realized that I had to go through those years to be able to share it the way I wanted to with more frameworks.
I spent the last couple of years exploring and joining in cocoa ceremonies, energy work, yoga, and healing modalities. Being the nerd that I am, I needed to know the science behind it all but instead put my anthropology degree to some use, observe, be curious, and learn.
I needed to know why some of these things worked and when I asked questions I was told to "just have faith," growing up in a fundamentalist Christian religion, being told not to question was a red flag. So clearly, I did the complete opposite and started learning more about why and how to integrate these different areas of my life and understand more of the science behind it.
As a former chemistry research student (yes, I have lived many lives), I became obsessed with Huberman Lab, and yes I have listened to at least 50% of their 2-hour podcasts. I worked on my own trauma with my wholistic therapist and worked with coaches who integrated somatic and Internal Family Systems (IFS) and who understood that I needed the science. I found the books and have brought them all together with my own lived experience to share what I've learned across my travels in 26 countries and blended education from the anthropological and engineering perspectives I hold.
I’ve come to believe that everything happens for a reason, and it's up to you to decide what that reason is and what you want to do with it, to co-create with the universe/god/whatever higher force feels right for you
but at the end of the day - you hold the power to make a choice of what you want to happen NEXT.
There's no secret, only your inner secret, your code, and I think I've found a tiny way to explain it in a way that those of us who are framework-driven, who need a formula, can understand and build into our busy days and manage our energy, time, and focus a bit better.
So that’s what I’m going to focus on sharing what I have learned across my lifetime from my time in
Feel Good Content for the Week
Kim Flow is hosting a "series on Instagram Live titled “This is how we heal” and I got to be one of her kick-off lives. I talked a bit more about my own healing journey on ADHD/PTSD letting go of the shame I held, accepting, and integrating these parts of myself
YOUR INVITE TO THE WORKSHOP!
and *drum roll*
So, I'm hosting a LIVE workshop to celebrate, and this is for you if you're burnt out, tired as hell, need more fun in your life, tired of the capitalist BS, and obsessed with personal development but feel like something's missing, neurodivergent, and every productivity guru is triggering you.
Or if you're neurotypical but tired of the same boring thing and need some spice in your life or an immigrant kid tired of the hustle, doing the most, or a perfectionist or a 9-5er.
I don't have all the answers, but I'm not here to tell you how to live. Instead, I'll give you the tools to unlock that. I'm a single millennial with a cat - so I’m not going to tell you DO EXACTLY this- that’s not the type. of coach, I am- idk your life but I have worked with folks with kids, married, 9-5 side hustlers, CEOs, and executives and met them where they are at.
I know these strategies can help everyone when adapted to your unique brain, life, and values. That's what a good coach does - not enforce but help you uncover and walk alongside you.
So, let me be your coach for 90 minutes in this Live workshop 😊
See you live!

Hasta next week,
Joy Valerie Carrera
