We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Aissa Thalia a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.

Aissa, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today How’s you first get into your field – How did you get started in your field?

I offered free private sessions and it worked! That’s how I started my coaching business and got my first paying clients. I am a firm believer that as a consumer, you gotta test drive the product (in this case coaching) to help make a clear and grounded decision, so I applied this principle within my business strategy. For something such as Happiness Coaching, which for some is a new and unknown style of coaching, it’s that much more important to lead a potential client through the experience of how their lives will be enhanced. So what better way to preview the value and transformation you offer as a coach through a complimentary session. As a business you are establishing trust between you and your potential new client. You are painting a clear picture of what benefits your services provide, in addition to establishing a positive relationship. It’s a win win. I was thrilled and so humbled when I signed my first client and they were only the beginning!

Aissa, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?

I am a Happiness Coach + Actor + Meditation Facilitator + Chief Happiness Practitioner + Founder of Happy Mindsetter. I help actors who have not booked in 90 days or more feel happy, confident and free no matter what! We offer private coaching and Happy Actor Power Groups.

With my degree in Psychology from the University of Southern California, a background in the arts and my love for happiness, I integrate my knowledge to customize a fun and empowering coaching experience for the actor. Through my signature process, I help you discover how to re-spark your happiness, confidence, and motivation. I train you on how to focus your thoughts and shift your emotions onto what matters most – your happiness!

We focus on 5 different modalities to support the actor to feel good about themselves and regain their confidence. We work on guided meditations, affirmation exercises, breathwork, manifestation activities, and dance activities. Our goal is to have the actor walk away with a personalized happiness mindset morning practice, in addition to tools they can activate throughout the day so that they can build positive mindset habits.

We are different from other coaching services for actors because our primary focus is the nurturing of inner-happiness. We believe that happiness is the key to success thus our main focus is to support the actor in raising their vibration so that they can attract their desired outcomes. We are really proud to offer a safe space for actors to show up vulnerable and come out brighter and lighter than ever!

Putting training and knowledge aside, what else do you think really matters in terms of succeeding in your field?

Really LOVE what you do and know WHY you love what you do. Stay connected to your “why” as that will get you through the rough patches. It will also guide you back to the love you have for your profession. Always remind yourself of WHY you entered this field in the first place. What was it about it that drew you in? What got you excited? What was your mission with it? Is it your purpose in life? When you connect to your why and stay in the love of why you do what you do, you are bound to succeed.

If you had to start over today, would you choose your profession all over again?

Definitely, YES! I always felt the pull to help people, to make the world a better place. It sounds cliche, but it’s true. It is my mission and purpose in life to elevate one human at a time through the power of happiness. It is very rewarding to know that I am changing people’s lives for the better, that I am helping them feel confident again, that I am supporting them to feel happy with themselves. I am bridging the gap between them and their careers as well, making success feel more attainable. For some, I am even helping them experience that life is worth living. So yes, I would choose to be a Happiness Coach again, again and again. When your profession is linked with being of service, it is that much more rewarding!
