Life-Changing Event

The way this whole thing unfolded is that I started having a dark night of the soul. First my relationship fell apart, and then I was like, okay, it does not matter, I am going to double down on my business. Then my business suddenly stopped flourishing, and I could not believe it. Then I started having legal issues and legal problems. And so it was one thing after another shifting me in a different direction. Yet I was so resistant to shift. I was not ready because I was so attached to my identity. We get attached to who we think we are supposed to be for the world, rather than really going in and discovering who am I supposed to be for myself and how do I bring that out to the world. So it was really an ego death that I had to go through, to really see my entire business fall apart, my entire business crumble. So I would say the biggest challenge that I went through was this dark night of the soul of losing everything I had created. I had spent my whole life creating. I had gone to college, gotten my masters, went to Ivy League schools, worked in developing countries, designing huge economic development programs. It took me losing everything that I had created, that I thought represented who I am and what I am supposed to bring to the world, to finally step into what I am now building and creating for the world.
