"It takes courage to heal and the Mindvalley CLC experience gave me that courage"

Quick summary

After relocating to an unfamiliar city and spiraling into isolation, Sruti discovered that her misery had been lurking beneath a busy life all along. The CLC program gave them the courage to heal and transformed their despair into excitement for helping others on their own healing journeys.

I was doing so many things I thought I liked. I quit my 60-hour work-week job as a media analyst to become an artist. But I never felt happy. I thought I needed to learn techniques of painting to get better, and I did. But that didn't pull me out of my misery. I didn't even know why I was miserable. Then came the darkest days of my life. My husband moved to a new city to work and I went with him. The new place felt alien to me. Not a single soul knew me in the city. I couldn't get a job there because I didn't speak the language. This was the real Lockdown of my life after the pandemic. Every day I would stare at my misery and realize that this Misery was always there, but I had never given it much attention because my life before had been fairly busy. Spiraling every day I would hit rock bottom. The only human interaction I would have would be with my husband after he came back from work. I realized that this cannot possibly be healthy. I was looking for help online when I came across MV CLC. I didn't know what it was but felt an intuitive tug. I started the course with the sole purpose of helping myself. 3 months later, after immersing myself in the techniques and tools, Q&A sessions, and connecting with fellow coaches I am on my way to be a healed version of myself. I wake up excited to do the 6 phase meditation, I can't wait for the next phase of my life where I can help people heal and feel better about themselves, all the while enjoying the process of my healing. It takes courage to heal and the Mindvalley CLC experience gave me that courage. Thank you and all my love :)
