Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Christy Holt. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Alright, Christy thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. Was there a defining moment in your professional career? A moment that changed the trajectory of your career?

Not long ago, in the midst of an unhappy marriage, I found myself trapped in a cycle of complaints, blame, and pointing fingers. It seemed as though the weight of my discontent was holding me back from the life I truly desired, and for a time, I felt helpless to change it.

One day, I had an awakening. I realized that I was the common denominator in all of my problems! I realized that in order to truly change my life, I needed to change myself. Taking responsibility for my own happiness became my mission, and I set off on a journey of deeper self discovery and personal growth.

As I worked on myself, something incredible happened. Not only did I find the courage to leave the unhappy marriage, but I also uncovered a new passion within me. This passion led me to create a business dedicated to helping others build the healthy and happy relationships that they desire and deserve. (And as an added bonus, I ended up creating the most incredible relationship with the most incredible partner!)

My defining moment wasn’t just a turning point in my personal life; it was the catalyst for a remarkable career transformation. It taught me that self love, self compassion, and self discovery were the cornerstones of my success, and by helping others to create their happy lives, I was truly able to find my own path to happiness and fulfillment.

As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?

Of course! I am a self-proclaimed Happiness Hussy, adventure guide (mentor), podcast host (Create Your Happy, Inspiration for conscious women, available wherever you listen to podcasts) and international best-selling author (Unstuck For Women, available on Amazon) who loves to show people how to get out of survival mode so that they can consciously create the happy life, relationships, and impact they desire. I am on a mission to spread happiness across the world — ultimately I desire to be the biggest, boldest version of love that reaches across the globe to help others unlock the same powerful love within themselves… and as a result, we will change the world.

I am a mentor for whole-ass humans — using my signature CREATE method, I journey along side of my soul led clients to support and love them as they discover and unlearn. My mentorship helps my clients to connect with their soul aligned desires and become unf*ckwithable so that nothing stops them from making the massive impact they are meant to create!

As a happiness hussy, my focus is on helping people to find the truth and love within in order to consciously create the life they desire. I adore holding space for amazing clients while they get curious, unlearn old limiting beliefs and patterns and create space for new awareness and infinite possibility to be experienced. I am most passionate about helping women to create the healthy and happy relationships that they desire and deserve, starting with the relationship they have with themselves.

We often hear about learning lessons – but just as important is unlearning lessons. Have you ever had to unlearn a lesson?

In the early days of my business journey, I was consumed by the idea of following other people’s strategies and finding the “right” way to do things. People pleasing and perfectionism had a tight grip on my actions. I sat in analysis paralysis and overwhelm on a nearly daily basis. Talk about a slow start!

At that time, I believed that “success” meant adhering to the paths that others had paved. But as time went on, I struggled with burnout and my business struggled to really get off the ground. I began to question the validity of this approach and eventually came to the conclusion that the “right” way for me just might be different from anyone else’s.

It was a pivotal moment when I recognized that in order to build a business that felt truly good to me and aligned well with my values, I needed to trust that I held all of the answers I needed within me. I had to redefine my own version of success and the actions that I would need to take to achieve that began to appear with great clarity, one at a time as I followed each inner nudge.

As I leaned into this new perspective, I started doing things in my unique way, breaking free from the confines of people pleasing and perfectionism, and following my own intuition. I began showing up as my authentic self, and in doing so, I gave others permission to do the same.

The adventure of unlearning old habits and learning to trust my own instincts was not easy, but it led to a business that not only felt right for me but also was about to thrive. It was a testament to the power of self trust and the realization that my path was uniquely my own.

Training and knowledge matter of course, but beyond that what do you think matters most in terms of succeeding in your field?

In the pursuit of success, it’s easy to overlook the gentle yet powerful catalyst that can transform every aspect of our lives: self compassion.

Contrary to what we may have been led to believe, self compassion isn’t weakness; it’s strength. It’s the loving embrace we offer ourselves when we stumble or fall. It’s the kind voice that reminds us of our humanity and provides acceptance of our perceived imperfections.

In business, self compassion is the secret to not only building a successful venture but also creating a life that feels genuinely good and relationships that give us life. Instead of harsh self criticism or negative self-talk, self compassion offers a softer, more loving approach.With self compassion, we don’t shame ourselves into improvement. Instead, we encourage ourselves with kindness. This gentle approach allows our authenticity to shine, setting us apart in our field. It helps us stay in integrity with our values and beliefs and keeps us focused on taking actions that are truly aligned with our unique path.

Self compassion isn’t a luxury; it’s a necessity. It’s the cornerstone of a thriving business, a fulfilling life, and healthy relationships.
