If MrBeast Is More Unhappy Than Happy, What Hope Do the Rest of Us Have? | Ep 123

We’re always told that success = happiness. More money, more freedom, more security… right? But what if that’s not actually true?In this episode, we dive into a shocking revelation from YouTube giant MrBeast, who admitted on Diary of a CEO that he feels more unhappy than happy - despite having a billion-dollar empire, insane levels of success, and even a recent engagement. If someone who seemingly has it all still struggles with happiness, what does that mean for the rest of us?So today, I'm exploring:💭 The myth that success guarantees happiness💰 Why money and achievement don’t always lead to fulfillment⚠️ The dangers of comparing ourselves to people who "have it all"🏠 The pressure of financial security and why it’s not the magic fix💕 What actually brings long-term happiness (hint: it’s not in your bank account)Plus, I’m sharing a recent trip that reminded me how real joy often comes from the simplest moments - ones we can access no matter where we are in life.This episode will make you rethink what happiness really looks like, especially when it comes to love, relationships, and self-worth.-----RESOURCES: - Download my FREE Dating Non-Negotiables Guide- Visit the website: www.chantellethecoach.com- Follow for more single life content on Instagram: @ChantelleTheCoach- Follow me on TikTok: @ChantelleTheCoachAnd if you loved this episode, HIT SUBSCRIBE to stay up to date for your weekly dose of The Single Spark.

Keeping Your Own Life While Building One With Someone Else | Ep 122

 One of the biggest fears I had about getting into a relationship was losing my independence. I’ve spent years building a life I love - my own space, my own routine, my own decisions. And yet, society makes it seem like true commitment means merging your entire life with someone else. Moving in together, sharing everything, and eventually ticking off the next milestones like marriage and kids. But what if you don’t want to rush that? What if you love your independence but still want a strong, committed relationship?In this episode, I’m sharing my own experience of navigating this balance - being in a happy, long-term relationship while still keeping my autonomy and independence. I’ve lived on my own for five years, and despite being in a serious relationship for the more recent years, I’ve chosen to keep it that way! I’ll be diving into how I’ve made that work, the conversations I’ve had to have, and the boundaries I’ve set to make sure I don’t lose myself along the way.Here’s what I’ll be unpacking:🏡 Why I still live alone (and how it’s strengthened my relationship)⏳ The pressure to move in, get married, and have kids - and why I’m ignoring it💬 How I communicate my need for space without making my partner feel rejected🚧 Why setting boundaries actually brings you closer, not further apart👶 Dating someone with kids - how I navigate that while keeping my own life intact💡 How to hold onto your identity in a relationship (because you don’t have to lose yourself in love!)If you’ve ever felt the pressure to “prove” your commitment by giving up your independence, this episode is for you. You can have love and freedom - on your terms.-----RESOURCES: - Download my FREE Dating Non-Negotiables Guide- Visit the website: www.chantellethecoach.com- Follow for more single life content on Instagram: @ChantelleTheCoach- Follow me on TikTok: @ChantelleTheCoachAnd if you loved this episode, HIT SUBSCRIBE to stay up to date for your weekly dose of The Single Spark.

Is Being a "Strong, Independent Woman" Killing Your Chances in Dating? | Ep 121

If you're anything like me, you pride yourself on being a strong, independent millennial. One that can take care of themselves, works hard, and has set their life up to work for them. And when it comes to dating, of course you take that with you. But during my time, articles I read and commentary online started to suggest that being this strong, independent character could put people off, and might be reducing my chances of finding a gentlemen. So on today's episode, I'm bringing what I think about my strength and the impact it has on dating, whether it's more harmful than it is useful, and what to do if you're that type of girl in dating, and how to make it work for you, without losing your spark.-----RESOURCES: - Download my FREE Dating Non-Negotiables Guide- Visit the website: www.chantellethecoach.com- Follow for more single life content on Instagram: @ChantelleTheCoach- Follow me on TikTok: @ChantelleTheCoachAnd if you loved this episode, HIT SUBSCRIBE to stay up to date for your weekly dose of The Single Spark.
