Your Dream Life is Achievable When You Let Go of Control w/ Cathy Heller
Your Dream Life is Achievable When You Let Go of Control.
Cathy Heller is living proof that when you follow those little nudges in life you can achieve your wildest dreams and more. I stumbled upon Cathy back in 2019 when I read her book Don’t Keep Your Day Job, and I was hooked on her story ever since.
Cathy Heller’s Story.
Cathy moved to Los Angeles when she was in her twenties with the hopes and dreams of becoming a musician and selling out stadiums. She ended up scoring not one but two record deals, but they both ended up falling through. Her dreams of becoming a bestselling artist started to dwindle away and she ended up getting a 9-5 job. After a while she had a spark of an idea that she could make music in other ways and still make it her career, and she did. She kept following little nudges in life and ended up creating a 7-figure business.
She’s now the host of the popular podcast The Cathy Heller Show (formerly Don’t Keep Your Day Job), which has over 25 million downloads and has been featured in Forbes, Entrepreneur Magazine, HuffPost, Inc Magazine, Business Insider and several times by Apple.
Each week Cathy encourages thousands of listeners to find more purpose, make an impact, and build an abundant life by doing what they love. Throughout the show, she has some incredible guests share their stories like Jenna Fischer and Matthew McConaughey, Tony Robbins, Deepak Chopra — just to name a few. Her guests open up in conversations about what led them to the biggest moments in their lives, and how you too can create a life that you can't wait to wake up to every single day.
Take a listen to my conversation with Cathy and hear exactly how her story unfolded.
Key Take Aways from the Conversation
Emotions like happiness come and go. But creating some sort of meaning or purpose in your life is what is going to keep you going.
We all see the world through our own biases. We will constantly look for the evidence of whatever it is that we think is possible ( or not possible! ).
It’s not Beyoncé or bust. If the exact dream you have doesn’t work out then there are other avenues to do it! It’s not an all or thing thing… aka Beyoncé or bust. Sometimes the universe has a better plan for you.
Be expansive, it’s a yes AND. Don’t get so stuck in what it is you do that you might miss out on other potential opportunities that are different.
Surrender the control. Cathy’s story is a perfect example of how surrendering control of your life leads to unexpected greatness. Be open, work hard, and follow those nudges!
