Hi, I am Raúl. Thank you for stopping by!
“I was sure that something terrible was about to happen!”
It was a beautiful spring morning in Chicago. The sun was shining, the birds were singing and the city was full of life. In the distance, I could see Willis Tower’s majestic silhouette.
It should have been just another day in the office, but then it happened again.
My heart started racing, I felt discomfort in my chest and I could hardly breathe. I was certain that something terrible was going to happen.
I could see it so clearly in my mind. Some days I imagined a plane crashing into the building. Other times it would be an active shooter, or I would see myself having a heart attack and dying. (I know. It sounds terrible. And it was.)
These episodes were becoming more frequent. On my way to work, playing with my kids in the park, and in the grocery store with my wife.
But this time it was different.
That morning on my way to work, I realized that unless things changed, then something terrible WAS going to happen!
I didn’t know it then, but I was burnt out and depressed.
For years I had been working hard to “climb the ladder” and achieve success. I followed the proven path that everyone else seemed to follow. One focused on consumerism and unhealthy habits. All to fit in, without really knowing what I wanted.
I neglected my mental and physical health, and I had created the same environment and lifestyle that led many in my family to a life plagued with chronic conditions.
So I got curious about my health. I read books, listened to podcasts, and attended webinars. I quickly realized that the only way to turn things around was by taking full responsibility for my health.
I started taking small steps to simplify my life, regain control of my resources, and create healthy boundaries.
Little by little, I started to feel better. I gained more clarity, focus, and energy. Eventually, the negative thoughts and panic attacks were replaced by optimism and gratitude.
After turning my life around, I started helping others do the same.
I now help successful professionals like you and me create a more balanced, healthy, and fulfilling life, without quitting their job or burning out.
If your life is “out of balance”, and you want to reclaim your health, time, energy, and attention so you can focus on the things that matter most, let’s chat.
I’ll help you get clarity on your “dream life” and implement the habits and systems you need to get there.
