What happens when we finally get our needs met?

We scramble after money, love, accolades, power, etc., yet study after study shows that once basic needs are met, additional pursuit does not enhance happiness.

Will Smith talks about the concept of “cliff top” (opposite of "rock bottom”) where a person has achieved everything they wanted in the material world—money, fame, sex, and success— and still finds themselves missing lasting happiness.

He says reaching the cliff top can lead to an "abyss" where life loses its ability to sustain and please, and the only way out is to find what one is truly looking for; oneself.

Today Stephanie and Maren explore cliff top and rock bottom and discuss several powerful questions including,

• Can you find yourself without falling off the cliff and hitting rock bottom first?
• Are those the only two paths to waking up and getting to lasting happiness?
• How do you get started?

Their great discussion peels the curtain back around societal conditioning and unconscious beliefs. More importantly, it opens a path that is both friendly and freeing.

Resilience is hot! The word is being used in every context from problems, to theories, to solutions - as well as to push people to do even more.

So what is it really and why does that matter to you, your team, and your business?

Today, Stephanie and Maren dive into this maelstrom and talk candidly about what it is, why it's important to you and how to build true resilience within yourself, your team members and your business.

• 🧐 What if instead bouncing back, resilience meant taking a step forward?
• 🧐 What if instead of more willfulness, head-down-butt up-go-go-go, resilience meant ease and softening?
• 🧐 What if instead of fortifying the external, resilience meant working on the inner?

Most people are unwilling to look inside until something drastic happens and they’re broken open. That’s one option.

This week, Maren and Stephanie offer a different way.

• ➡️ An option that yes, takes effort, and it’s both more powerful AND gentler.
• ➡️ An option that builds true, inner resilience with vulnerability, courage, and self-awareness.
• ➡️ An option that opens up a more empowered future.

You live with a constant undercurrent of never feeling like you do enough, you are enough, or that you have enough.

It's exhausting.

That’s the result of being taught to look outside for your value and your worth, it leaves you empty. No matter how much you take from the outside and try to put inside, it doesn’t fill it.

Today, Stephanie and Maren talk about this very poignant, timely subject from the freeing place of inner mastery. Never feeling like enough, emotional instability and loss of control - all of that is healed from the inside out.

What if you could be SO connected and so clear about why you are here and what that means in your life, that it fills your cup and you are free? That external pat on the back, nice, and not necessary because you are already enough.

The marketers and ad executives don’t want you to know that everything you need is actually INSIDE you. The inner work, the inner validation is what sets you free.

• 6:57 true rest and monkey mind
• 10:39 the value of being uncomfortable
• 13:34 hot dog, salad, or something better
• 18:17 self-reflection isn’t narcissism
• 21:21 who is your exemplar?
