...So you might be wondering, why do I call myself The Stubborn Optimist?
My Story
I struggled with depression and anxiety my whole life to the point I was mute for about 4 years. I was terrified of life. I was in total victim mode...I didn't have girlfriends, I had no real friends; it saddens me to say it now, but I hated myself... I started doing personal development around the age of 21 because I was tired of feeling so trapped in my mind. After a toxic relationship that lead me to an attempted suicide, I met a mentor who taught me about meditation. I started reading, journaling, and meditating everyday to discover how my mind worked and what I could do to change the patterns and results I was getting in life. I tried everything, therapy, retreats, psychedelics, I made progress gradually here and there but it was always an uphill battle to keep my head above water. In March 2023 I had enough of the ups and downs. I made a pact with myself... A suicide pact. The pact wasn't a plan to die though; it was a plan to live. I needed a sense of urgency. I couldn't be happy ever if I wasn't 100% committed to happiness now. I made a commitment to put off depression, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts for a year. Like I was quitting a bad habit or addiction(and it is an insidious addiction). The pact was that in one year, if I wasn't at least making progress towards my goals, I gave myself full permission to resume my depression, anxiety, and suicidal thought and to kill myself if it came to that... (I know, very morbid for a self proclaimed optimist, but it gets better!). About two weeks in, the depression, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts came back to test me. When I noticed I was breaking the pact, I shouted, "NO! I'm not that anymore!" and it clicked; I had my awakening. The negative thoughts, the demons who taunted me my whole life, vanished. I can choose who i want to be. As if dictated to me, the words "STUBBORN FUCKING OPTIMISM" came to my mouth and I furiously started to write what that meant.
​​
Stubborn optimism: the refusal to dishonor myself, others, and God with negative thoughts, doubts, and limiting beliefs; The refusal to entertain, any negative thoughts or limiting beliefs; Unbreakable Faith.
​
As I integrated this insight, more ideas came. Higher wisdom was guiding me. I started actively reprogramming my mind to only see positives and to have unbreakable faith in myself and God. I made a decision to change my identity and stop identifying with depression, anxiety, and any other victim labels. I cut words out of my vocabulary and became very careful with how I spoke to myself. I decided to take full responsibility for the reality I co-create.
​
I became The Stubborn Optimist!

Within that year and a half, I've cold approached over a thousand stranger, sky dived 3 times, got trained in CBT, got Reiki certified, moved to Costa Rica to teach English, got hypnosis certified, quit English teaching, and started my first business. Now I help people to break through their own negative, limiting beliefs, to reprogram their minds to step into their most empowered self, and manifest their dream life.
