Welcome to another episode. I am so excited about this episode because I have a very special guest. Our guest is Sunny Lamba from Toronto, Canada. How are you, Sunny?

I am so good. Thank you so much. I am so excited because this is my first time being a guest on someone else's show.

She's an expert on podcasting. Sunny is the host of the Flawthentic ME podcast and also a coach inspiring women to transform their self-image and claim their power. She lives in Toronto, Canada. She is such a powerful woman. You have to follow her on Instagram. We are going to share her contact information. You're such an inspiration, Sunny. I am so excited to have you here.

Thank you so much. I love your energy in your show. I don't watch your video podcasts. I always listen to them, but your smile radiates through the voice. I can see it.

I'm sure the readers are like, "She lives in Canada. Yanet lives in Houston. How did they meet?" This is perfect to introduce the topic for this episode. The topic for this episode is investing in yourself. Sunny and I invested in this program called Digital Course Academy because we wanted to learn how to properly create, market, and sell our first digital course ever. In Digital Course Academy, they had the opportunity to connect with accountability partners.

Immediately after seeing Sunny's description of what she does, I'm like, "I need to reach out to her because she sounds super inspiring." Honestly, that's how we connected. We were meeting on a week-to-week basis to be accountability partners and keep each other accountable in this digital course creation process. I'm so thankful, Sunny, to have connected that way.

Me too. It helped me stay focused on the program. I believe in accountability and investing in yourself. If we didn't invest in that program, we wouldn't be doing this together.

Even before getting the brain to invest in yourself and ourselves, I want you to give a quick overview of your background. Where were you born? How did you move to Canada? Tell us all about Sunny.

I am originally from India. I was born in New Delhi, the capital of India. I moved to Canada years back. The whole family moved together. My story is I lost my mom at the age of fourteen. I became a mini-mother to my younger siblings. There were challenges and all but looking back in hindsight, it made me a person who's caring, nurturing, strong, and resilient. No one can fill that gap or loss of the mother in my life, but now that I have gone through my healing process, I realized that it was my journey to make me into this person who's now helping others to step into their power.

I lost my mother and became the mini-mother because my older sister moved to Canada around the same time when mom was gone. I ended up taking care of my younger brother and sister, going to university, and doing a part-time job. I was tutoring kids because we never had enough money. I was tutoring other kids, running the household, and doing everything. Finally, my sister was able to apply and our whole family moved to Canada.

This was right after 9/11 happened. It has been a while. After that, I came here, went back to college, and did my second degree in Psychology because human behavior has always intrigued me. I wanted to learn and understand what's going on behind this behavior, what's the background, and what's happening. I did a second degree. I was working in a job that I did not enjoy. Finally, years ago, I decided to quit my job because I was the most unhappy person.

I am someone who always tells others, "Don't complain. Do something about it. Stop crying about this." I became that person who was constantly complaining about my job. I realized bills had to be paid. I am so grateful to my husband because he's like, "We can handle it with my job. If you're not happy, quit and figure it out." That was years ago. I dipped my toes into different things and tried different things, but I always knew that I wanted to inspire people and help people. That has always been a dream. Here I am now.

I share a lot of commonalities on that, even in the integrity piece of telling people, "Do not complain. Pursue your purpose." You're here recognizing and having the awareness that you need to be the example so others can see. You are the way-shower in a particular way. I love that you took that leap of faith and that your husband was super supportive. That's so important.

You transitioned from your corporate career to entrepreneurship. I love that about you because I bring a lot of people that have done it here and that are working on their purpose. What was it about entrepreneurship that caught your attention? As you transitioned from corporate to entrepreneurship, what was the thing that you loved the most about that journey?

It is so interesting that you don't know where you're going when you start something. That's what it was with me. It was every day a new discovery. When I quit my job, my goal was 1.) Not waking up in the morning and 2.) Spending more time with my son. The problem was I was not fulfilled in my job. I felt, "This is not me. I have way more that I can contribute and do. What I'm doing here is not enough. I'm paying someone else to take care of my son while I'm sitting here in this office unhappy." My goal at that time, I am not kidding, was not to wake up in the morning and spend more time with my son. That's how it started. Interestingly, I'm a morning person. I love my mornings.

I see you on Instagram all the time. At 6:20, I finish my morning routine. I love it.

That's what happens when you're doing something that your purpose aligns with. I hated my job. I didn't want to wake up. Coming back to your question, I started saying, "I need to make money something." I jumped into direct sales because that was the first thing that showed up on an ad on Facebook, seriously. I jumped into direct sales and then went into network marketing. The two things I enjoyed when I was doing this were coaching and mentorship.

Coaching is like a GPS in your car. If you don't know where you're going, what are you going to set the path for?

Both of those things gave me the opportunity to coach others, lead others, guide them, and hold their hands. That's when I knew this was what I wanted. I had a psychology background. I knew that this was something I had always been interested in. That's what got me into entrepreneurship. What I like about it is the freedom of my time. I'm not stuck. This is a beautiful day. I thought, "After this show, I'm going to go to the lake, sit there, and do whatever I have to do. I'll take my laptop and work there." I have the freedom. That freedom is something that pulled me toward it.

Even to gain clarity on the path, you decided to invest in yourself first. I imagine one of those things was direct sales and network marketing. Was that the first investment you did in yourself as you were entering this journey?

That was the first investment, but I didn't look at it as an investment in myself. I looked at it as an investment in a business. In the first direct sales company I joined, my investment was $15,000. It was a big block, but I looked at it as setting up a business. They're going to give me all the tools. They're giving me the products, training, systems, and everything. I'm investing in a business. It was the easier decision. Fast-forward, I had to come to a point where I was like, "I need clarity." My first big investment in myself was with a clarity and purpose coach. Can you believe that? That was harder because, before that, I always thought, "I'm investing in the business."

It's something else outside of you.

To answer your question, the business was the first investment but into me was way after that.

What would you say was the biggest fear that you had to overcome to take that leap of faith and invest in yourself?

My biggest fear was that my business was not making any money, so I could not invest in myself. This is a funny story. We were looking for a school for my son at that time. My husband wanted a private school and I was like, "It's okay. Put him in a public school." We were having this conversation or discussion, "What's the pros and cons and everything?" He said, "If we invest in him today, that's going to give him a reward later. He's going to reap the benefits."

That was the same time when I was struggling, "I need a coach or something because I'm feeling stuck. I need to work on myself." I was reading all the books and stuff. I was investing in books and small things. I did invest in another membership, which was $20 a month. I was investing in small things already, but I knew I needed something big.

I was going through that. We were having this conversation and he said, "If we invest in him today, he's going to get a return later." It clicked right away. I was like, "I went to school. My parents invested in me. I went to university as a mature adult student while I was pregnant. I invested in myself. How was that okay and this is not okay?" That gave me the big shift that I cannot wait to make money in my business to invest.

I need to invest first, which is then going to give me the money in my business and that return. I went ahead and found myself a clarity coach because that was when I was struggling with my network marketing company. Some aspects of it were working, but I didn't feel aligned with them. That's when I got the clarity that this is what I want to do. It helped me.

There was a time when I had a clarity call with someone. He didn't know if he wanted to invest in a $100,000 MBA or not. I offered him my service, which was a few thousand. It wasn't something crazy or anything. It's interesting because he decided to go with the option that he wasn't even sure about, which was investing in an MBA that cost $100,000.

As with anything else, you don't have certainty on the outcome, but because it's so much more socially acceptable, people buy into it even though it doesn't make any sense when you look at it from an objective perspective. Why wouldn't you invest in yourself and gain clarity to see the right path for you? Isn't that crazy? It blows my mind.

When I look back, education played a big role in where I am now. If I look at my schooling, the first degree I did, my second degree in Psychology, and all that, it was a big investment, but if I look at the return on investments, I got the biggest return from investing in myself in the coaching programs and all the other things I'm doing in my personal development. That helped me a lot.

I love it because it is true. The educational system has gotten me where I am, but there is a point where you have to start learning how to think rather than being told what to think. Honestly, when I did my engineering degree, I was being told what to think in a way. I asked myself a couple of questions, "What didn't I know better in that stage of my life?" After I finished studying and started my corporate job, that's when I started to question so many things that I used to believe in the past.

That's when investing in yourself starts making so much more sense because we need help. Sometimes people are afraid of asking for help because they believe that maybe they're not good. They need to do it by themselves, but the reality is that no one by themselves has done something big. We always ask for help. That's where investing comes from also.

I also think that I did that, "Buy small books. I'm going to get it through the books and reading the books. Buy small programs or free programs." All of us are looking for free programs. Since then, I have done many programs and different things. I was showing up because I had paid money for this. I better show up. It made me think that it was exactly when I went to university as a youth and my dad was paying. I was skipping classes and going to the movies.

It's because your dad was paying that you were like, "It doesn't come from me."

When I was working and I was pregnant, I was going to university and paying for the university from my pocket, I was showing up at every class at 9:00 PM with this big belly, "I'm paying for this." It makes a huge difference when you invest in yourself and you know, "I'm paying money for the exchange of this information or transformation. I better do the work and show up."

Back to your point, it's the biggest accountability partner. It's someone whose only agenda is your growth. It's very action-oriented. At least with my coaching, I always give homework to my clients because that's where the action starts. It's not doing the call, "That's amazing. You showed up." What happens after the call is a big part of the transformation.

I always say that in the biggest transformation, growth happens between those two coaching sessions or that time.

I was in network marketing too in two different companies, which a lot of people may not know. Whenever you're seeking clarity, you're going to try anything and everything to see what works and what doesn't. It didn't work out for me, but I respect people in network marketing and all about it. I remember the first training that I invested in back in 2013. I had started my corporate job and before that, I went back to Cuba to visit my family after twelve years of not seeing them.

There was a twelve-year gap when my mom and I didn't see our family in Cuba. It was just her and I. She was afraid to go back because we had asked for political asylum in the United States. It was a little bit dangerous, but later on, they gave us permission, which was great. We went to Cuba and my uncle handed me a Tony Robbins book and also an NLP book in Spanish. I'm like, "This is all mine. I'm in behavior. I love this."

I remember in the year after, there was a Tony Robbins event coming on, Unleash the Power Within. I'm like, "I want to do this. I've never done anything like this." It was $500 for four days, which is not bad at all. It's one of his intro courses. It was in Dallas. I had never traveled for four hours and a half. I had never gone to Dallas. I remember, "I'm going to try inviting people because I don't want to go by myself."

I start inviting people and they're like, "You are using four vacation days and paying money to be there and learn. Are you crazy?" I'm like, "If no one sees it, I'm going to see it for myself, show up by myself, make friends, and build a network." I did that. No one came with me. I went by myself to Dallas and met one of the people who I started getting involved in network marketing with. From network marketing, I went to be certified as an NLP. All the dots make sense. When you look back, you start connecting them.

I left the network marketing industry. It didn't work out for me. I had some big successes in the beginning, but then I aligned. One thing I'm grateful for in that industry is for getting me into personal development. Going back to that investment, it was my first clarity and purpose coach. Since then, I have invested in so many programs. I have invested $10,000 in US dollars because for Canada, that's more. I invested $10,000 in Bob Proctor's program.

I did another program with Kamila Gornia. She's also a coach who teaches you how to set up our coaching business and all that. I did that and then the DCA. I'm upgrading my coaching certifications, so I'm doing a coaching certification with Mindvalley. Since then, it has been a huge leap from the time when I used to think about buying a $20 book and looking for it in the library, which I still prefer.

If it is a book I know is a one-time read, I would rather get it from a library because we don't want to fill our house. It's practical and good for the environment as well. If it's a book I know I'm going to read over and over, I don't think about it anymore. Back then, I used to think, "It's $20. Maybe I shouldn't invest in this book." It's coming to a point where I'm like, "This is the program. Do I need it? How is it going to make me grow and help me in the next step in my journey?" I say, "This is what I need. I'm going to do it."

The intention, just like whenever you made that mindset transition from not liking the mornings to liking them is because your meaning and the why were so much more different, "I have to wake up in the morning to do something I don't love. I don't feel fulfilled. Now I have to wake up in the morning to fulfill my purpose and help people." It's such a different meaning. It's the same activity, though. Isn't that crazy?

I always used to say this. This is my favorite thing, "I hate mornings." I own two nightshirts that say, "I don't do mornings." The second one said, "I'm a monster in the morning." I had to get rid of those two nightshirts to change my self-identity. I'm like, "I'm not wearing this anymore because I am not this person anymore." Now I have a nightshirt that says, "I love mornings."

You do incantations like Tony Robbins, "I love mornings."

All I need is within me now.

I do those incantations, too, whenever I'm driving. I'm like, "Every day in every way, I'm getting stronger."

Every time you're doing something new, trying something, or doing something that's out of your comfort zone, you're going to face that uncertainty.

It's a nice rhythm. I go for my walks in the summers because I hate Canadian winters. I hibernate for six months. In summer, when I go for walks, that's what I'm doing, "Every day in every way, I'm getting better."

Words are powerful. You invested in a coach. How did that transform the way you saw your path? How did that help you to start aligning with your purpose? How was that for you?

That was the biggest transformation I had with my coach. I'm a very analytical person, even though I am in touch with my intuition. I'm now getting in touch with my spiritual side after a huge gap because when I lost my mom, I decided there was no god. There's nothing. It took me a long time to get back to connecting with my spiritual side.

Coming back, I am an analytical person and my coach was an analytical person, which helped me. We went through very systematic personality tests and things that she made me do the work on. It helped me understand what my purpose is and where I get my energy from. She made me do that exercise. There was an exercise on my values. What are my values in life? What are my strengths and weaknesses?

All those inventories, worksheets, and everything made me understand what I'm doing. It helped me in the big picture by getting my focus clear. Instead of looking at every shiny object, I was now with my blinders on saying, "This is it. Coaching is what I want to do because I knew this was what I figured out. It's what gives me the most energy."

A great coach like your coach meets the client where they are and respects also the client's model of the world, which may be different. I have some very mental clients and some that are spiritual. Coaching is a customized approach for every individual. I love that you also got that experience.

From that, then it was a leap. You're doing such great work because I feel that when you don't have clarity, you have all this time and energy that you are wasting on 100 things. Once you get that clarity, you take all this energy from everywhere you work. You had 10% here and 20% here. You take it all and now your 100% is on that one thing. That was the biggest investment in clarity. It changed my whole outlook, business, and everything. After that, within six months, I did my certification. Right after talking to her, I enrolled in my coaching certification and got my certification in six months. I'm like, "Let's do this."

Coaching is very action-oriented and future-forward-looking. It's like, "It's your goal. Let's do it. I'm going to help you get there." I appreciate that. I always say, "Gaining clarity in your direction is much more important than going fast or having speed because you may end up going fast and arriving nowhere if you don't have a clear direction of where you're going."

It's like a GPS in your car. If you don't know where you're going, what are you going to set the path for? What are you going to put in the GPS? Are you going to drive around and go in circles? Where are you going? You need to set those directions.

It's your first time investing in yourself and even now. I invested in a $5,000 mastermind with an amazing coach that I admire a lot. She's wonderful. I still work through that. It's normal. How did you buy into that leap of faith and that uncertainty that may come with your desired outcome? I'm going to express what I feel. How did you work through that?

I believe uncertainty is a part of life. It's going to keep coming back. Every time you're doing something new, trying something, or doing something that's out of your comfort zone, you're going to face that uncertainty. Once I got clarity on the coaching, now the new uncertainty is what kind of coach I'm going to. I started researching and there are a million different kinds of coaching. I'm like, "What do I want to do?"

That was the next step or uncertainty. I said, "Let's do a coaching certification." As I started doing the certification, I would do practice sessions. In those practice sessions, I knew, "This is not the client I wanted to work with. This is something I enjoy. They have a problem with the relationship goals." In one of the practice sessions, there was a relationship. They know, "That's not my comfort zone." There was someone else who was self-image and all. I started getting that clarity.

Sometimes even though you have uncertainty, you have to look at that one next step. I always compare it to driving in the dark. Before the pandemic, we sold everything we owned and moved to Costa Rica. One night, I was driving. I was scared of driving in Costa Rica. I'm on this dark road with no lights on the single-lane highway. There were big trucks coming from the front.

I'm driving and I can barely see anything. It's pouring and raining. My son was with me and he wanted to talk. He knows that I get stressed when I'm driving, especially there. I said, "Mama needs to focus. Stop talking to me." I put some music on and kept telling myself, "Only look how far my light is showing me. It's one small step. The headlights of my car are showing me this much. Only focus on that."

As I keep going further, my headlights keep showing me further and further and I keep getting clarity. I'm just focusing on that one point, "I can only see this far. I'm going to focus on that." This analogy always works in my mind so well. Uncertainty is going to be there. Take that one small step. That will open more pathways and give you more clarity.

What also helps me is certainty about the work I'm going to put in because, honestly, what you put in, you get out. It happens with coaching, courses, training, and certifications. There was a moment in my life when I would buy a $5,000 mentorship program and wouldn't do anything about it. During the journey, something clicked. It was mainly after a breakthrough session using neurolinguistic programming techniques that I started to take my business a lot more seriously.

I had my North Star. What I'm doing now has always been my North Star. After that, I started putting effort into applying all the concepts, learning and listening and showing up and applying them. That certainty of, "I don't know what the outcome might be, but I'm going to give my 100% because I'm committed to the process," also helped me aside from continuing to invest in myself for sure.

As you're getting the clarity, divorce the outcome and marry the process.

Don't be afraid to experiment as you go forward, as Sunny and I have done. What would you say about naysayers? Your husband has been super supportive. I have a supportive family. What would you say to those people that are like, "I can invest in that. I have the means. I'm ready to go." They socialize with someone and people are like, "You're crazy for investing in yourself. You're going to figure that out by yourself." We hear that a lot.

I have had my share of naysayers.

Tell us about it. How have you dealt with that?

From the point when I wanted to quit my job, I had everyone, "Why would you do that? You have a secure job." In my last job, I was working for the Federal government. I had benefits, a retirement fund, and everything. I wasn't happy. They were like, "Why would you quit your job? You're secure. Stop. Don't do that." Some people said, "Don't quit. Do a part-time job. Do whatever you want to do on the other side." It was a very hard decision because what happens when you talk to too many people?

I was reading Think and Grow Rich and the chapter on decision-making. Napoleon Hill talks about it. Don't tell your plan to everyone. Tell it to those people who support you. I recorded a reel on that. It's in my native language, but that's exactly what I said, "Don't tell your goals and plans to those who are jealous or are going to judge you. Tell it to those who are going to support you and lift you." Over time, I now know who are the people who are going to support me and who is the person who is not. They come from a place of protection and love. They care about you. They want to protect you from heartbreak or failure, but it's their perspective, life experiences, and history, not your story.

One thing I have done is that I have the people that I know will always support me and cheer me on. The other thing I have done is that I don't tell my plans to everyone because if I tell it to them, they are going to plant a seed of doubt. That seed of doubt is then going to grow into a tree. I'm going to be stuck in inaction. Don't tell it to everyone. If you know what you want in life, then put those blinders on. Don't listen to naysayers. They're always going to have an opinion about your life. There's that quote, "Don't take opinions from the people sitting in cheap seats."

I was thinking the same. I'm like, "If you're investing in yourself or planning to, why would you take opinions from someone who has not invested in themselves?" They're not going to understand.

The quote is, "Don't let those sitting in cheap seats have an expansive opinion on your life." There's that one and this other big and famous quote, "The credit belongs to the person who is on the battlefield."

Brené Brown says it from Roosevelt.

It's the person whose face is marred with sweat, tears, blood, and fighting in the arena, not the person standing outside watching. When you listen to a naysayer, ask yourself one question, "Have they done something like that in their life before?" If they had never done it, how would they know? They don't know what it feels like to invest in yourself, run your business, or anything like that. Initially, I used to ask everyone and doubt. Many opportunities came that I did not take because I listened to others, but now, I'm like, "I know what I want. I discuss it with my husband, who's my biggest cheerleader and I move on."

That reminds me of a quote my uncle said to me. He has been a very influential person in my life. He died in 2021 of cancer. That completely shifted my brain like, "There is no time. This is the only time we have." He told me, "Do not believe anyone else's experiences. Believe your own experiences." This is something I tell my coaching clients, "Don't believe me. Let's test what we did here and see how it works out after the session."

That's such a powerful thing. That's how I made the decisions I've made. I make up my mind and then communicate externally when I've made it. My fiancé and my mom are super supportive. I do talk to them. They get affected by my decisions too, so it's important. I make the decision first here in my mind and then communicate it. That's the only way where you can live a purpose-driven life too.

Sunny, I'm so pumped. This is an amazing episode. I enjoyed it so much. You have so much wisdom. I love your analogies and everything about you. We have talked about everything and even more than I was planning to talk and ask you about. This is the second interview that I'll do this. I'm finishing my interviews with rapid-fire questions.

I love them. I do them on my podcast and I've never been on the other end. This is scary. Let's do this.

"Don't let those sitting in cheap seats have an expansive opinion on your life."

Say the first thing that comes to mind. That's it. I just made these questions up. What's your favorite book?

It's Brené Brown's The Gift of Imperfection.

I have to read that one. I haven't yet.

I love it. It's on my bedside table. It has little sticky notes everywhere on it.

It goes with your brand. It's perfect. Describe yourself in one word.

Sunshine.

What are you the most proud of? What's the first thing that comes to mind?

It's the life I have created for myself even after all that I have been through and the ability to pick myself up over and over. It comes back to my childhood. Sometimes situations or circumstances are out of your hand, but it's in your hand too. Pick yourself up and move on.

Stay resilient all the way. What's your favorite part of being an entrepreneur?

It's the time freedom. It's doing things on my own time and terms.

What's the best piece of advice someone else has ever given to you?

My husband said, "Follow your heart." It was not a quote. It was more like a conversation. He said, "Follow your heart. Do it. Don't worry about expenses. We will figure it out. We have been in a worse place before and we have figured it out. Losing that one income is not going to be a big deal." When he said those words, we were on our flight back from Vegas and I was crying because I didn't want to go back to work the next day. On the flight, he said, "Pick a date when you're quitting and follow your heart." That was the biggest advice. I would give that advice to anyone. Listen to your heart.

I've gotten chills in several parts of this interview because Cody also says, "Follow your heart." I'm like, "That's something that I don't think anyone has ever told me before him." He's like, "How often do you get that?"

It's such simple advice. It has become a cliché. You hear it all the time, but a lot of people don't follow their hearts because they're stuck in the brules. As Vishen Lakhiani says, it's the brules or b******t rules of society. We're stuck in those, "I need to have this house with a white picket fence and all that stuff." We forget to live and do small things that make us happy.

That's such a beautiful way to conclude this interview, Sunny. I'm so inspired to take on my day, my week, and everything else before my way.

Thank you. I am so inspired by you every day.

Thank you. It's the same here. I'm so grateful more than anything that we have connected. We share similar minds. We are helping people own their light because the light is inside them already. It's to remember that it has been there the whole way.

That light has been dimmed by the world and they need to brighten it up again.

I want everyone to connect with you because you're amazing. How can they connect with you, your Instagram, and your podcast? Tell us about it.

My podcast is on all major platforms, Flawthentic ME. My website is very simple. It's www.FlawthenticMe.com. They can find me on my Instagram with my name @Sunny_Lamba.

My friend, thank you so much. Thank you to all the readers. I hope you follow Sunny and get to connect with her. We will see you. Thank you, Sunny.

Thank you for having me.

About Sunny Lamba

When I lost my mom, I was forced to abandon my childhood and pushed into adulthood. I had to take care of the younger siblings. No one ever asked how I was doing because talking about mental health was a taboo back in those days (unfortunately, it still is).

I attached my worth to helping others, and if I couldn’t make someone happy, the inner mean-girl came knocking: I wasn’t good enough.

I moved from one career to another – never happy never satisfied – because the voice in my head kept telling me there was more to life. I couldn’t put my finger on it, but there was a nagging feeling that I deserved more.

Finally, I gave in and quit my job to start a business. With no experience, I dived in head-first to find my passion. However, nothing felt right.

It was one failure after another – and that’s when I came face to face with the years of programming, the repeated patterns, inaction, procrastination, fear, self-doubt… I was never good enough.

My self-worth stopped me from playing big. I was stuck in the repeated patterns of starting something new, procrastinating, and then stopping half-way to pick a new project/career.
