In this The Soul Mirror episode, host Shreya welcomes Jamie Naegele, an author and happiness teacher whose journey from engineer to inner freedom reminds us that happiness is a choice, not a destination. Jamie opens up about leaving behind a life designed by others, facing fear and anxiety, and slowly cultivating courage, discipline, and self-love. He shares powerful insights on rewriting limiting beliefs, raising children with presence, and why prosperity built on love creates freedom instead of pressure. This is a conversation for anyone ready to stop performing for the world and start remembering who they really are.

About the Guest

Jamie Naegele is an author, speaker, and happiness teacher who helps people unlearn self-denial and embrace self-love as the foundation for joy. His book Who Are You? The Art of Being Yourself in a World That Doesn’t Want You To inspires readers to rewrite negative beliefs and choose presence over performance. Jamie also runs Happiness School (SKO), guiding people to cultivate inner freedom and courage in daily life.

Key Takeaways:

Happiness is not taught—it’s chosen, moment by moment.
Fear is often an illusion; facing small fears expands your comfort zone.
Self-love starts with rewriting three core beliefs: Am I attractive? Am I intelligent? Am I enough?
Discipline builds trust with yourself; even small acts like making your bed can create confidence.
Unlearning deeply rooted negative beliefs can unlock new confidence and self-worth.
Acting, for Jamie, became a practice in patience, resilience, and self-expression beyond engineering or teaching.
Raising kids requires patience and compassion; true happiness must be modeled, not imposed.
Prosperity should follow self-love—money amplifies who you already are.
You can’t give happiness to your children if you don’t cultivate it within yourself first.
One idea, one shift in belief, can change the course of your entire life.
