  • 440. From Limiting Beliefs to Lasting Freedom: The Final Message of Happiness Solved
    Aug 13 2025

    After nearly five incredible years and 440 inspiring conversations, this is the final episode of Happiness Solved. In this deeply personal and empowering closing message, Sandee shares why she has made the conscious decision to end this journey—and how it's all part of something bigger.

    In this episode, Sandee dives into the truth behind emotional baggage and the powerful limiting decisions we make early in life that silently shape our beliefs, behaviors, and even our bodies. From self-worth to weight loss, she explores how one unconscious decision can spiral into layers of limiting beliefs that keep us stuck—and how real healing begins at the subconscious level.

    You'll learn:

    • What limiting decisions are and how they’re formed

    • Why traditional “mindset” work often isn’t enough

    • How tools like NLP, Time Line Therapy®, and hypnosis can reprogram beliefs at the root

    • Why emotional baggage is often the hidden weight that keeps us from transformation

    This episode is a love letter to every listener who’s joined Sandee on this journey. Thank you—for your time, your hearts, your willingness to grow, and your belief in what's possible.

    ✨ If this episode speaks to you and you're ready to go deeper into the work, Sandee invites you to stay connected through her coaching, Peak Performance Playbook Podcast, or social platforms.

    Because this isn’t the end. It’s an evolution.
    And your next level starts when you let go of what no longer serves you.
