Chill by Design with Anastacia

In this episode, I share a deeply personal journey about my evolving relationship with wealth, from the highs of abundance to the lessons learned through loss. I reflect on my first experience with wealth, where I valued material possessions—luxury cars, a big house, and designer clothes—only to lose it all when my business fell apart. That loss changed my mindset entirely, shifting my focus from "stuff" to meaningful experiences.

However, I recently realized that in avoiding spending money on things, I had swung too far in the opposite direction. By never treating myself, I had stopped celebrating my achievements, which was quietly putting me in a negative mindset. I recount a recent shopping experience where I intentionally splurged on something special, and how it reminded me of the importance of acknowledging my hard work and success. It wasn't about the items—it was about honoring myself and letting go of the guilt.

I close this episode with an important reminder: celebrating yourself is vital. Whether through experiences, treats, or moments of reflection, these acts of self-recognition reinforce a healthy mindset. Without celebration, we risk slipping into a cycle of scarcity and negativity. So, find ways to honor your journey—you deserve it!

In this reflective episode, I open up about my lifelong habit of being a goal-setter and planner, always striving for the next big achievement. As we approach 2025, I found myself in unfamiliar territory—unable to set a single goal. This realization led me to reflect on my journey, from my old life in Australia to the transformative experiences of 2024 that helped me detach from my past and fully embrace Dubai as my home and my source of happiness.

I share insights into how my mindset has shifted over the past year, the milestones I’ve achieved, and the deep sense of contentment I’ve found. For the first time, I feel truly at peace, with no desire to chase anything more. Instead, I’m embracing 2025 with no goals, trusting the universe to guide me to where I’m meant to be.

This episode is an intimate exploration of finding fulfillment, the power of reflection, and the courage to let go of control.

Whether you’re a planner, a dreamer, or someone seeking clarity, this episode will inspire you to pause, reflect, and trust in the journey ahead.
