How to Trust Yourself, Let Go, and Create a Life That Feels Good
Power Up Your Life® | Powered by GoBundance | How to Trust Yourself, Let Go, and Create a Life That Feels Good | Ep. 82 with Roberta Ravella 💫 Welcome to Power Up Your Life®, Powered by GoBundance Women! What if the life you worked so hard to create still doesn’t feel the way you thought it would? In this episode, Mandy McAllister and Kelly Resendez sit down with Roberta Ravella, creator of The Joy Experiment, to talk about what happens when achievement, money, success, and checking all the “right” boxes still leave you feeling disconnected. Roberta shares her journey from a successful career in mortgage sales to building a life and business centered around joy, ease, and flow. She explains why she stopped believing everything had to be hard, how she learned to listen to herself, and why sometimes the most powerful step forward is actually subtraction. The conversation dives into practical ways to reconnect with joy—from noticing the small things when you wake up, to journaling, taking a walk, creating something, or simply giving yourself permission to pause. Roberta also shares powerful advice for anyone who feels stuck in a successful career but knows something needs to change: trust yourself and start listening. If you're overwhelmed, burned out, or questioning whether your current version of success is really the life you want, this conversation is a reminder that you don't have to figure everything out at once. You can experiment, subtract what isn't serving you, and create a life and business that doesn't just look good, it feels good. 🙌🌱 To connect with Roberta: Website: thejoyexperiment.live YouTube: @TheJoyExperimentLIVE Email: Roberta@RobertaRavella.com 00:00 Welcome to Power Up Your Life & Meet Roberta 01:21 When You Have Everything but Still Aren't Happy 02:31 The Joy Experiment: Life as an Experiment 03:43 How to Start Owning Your Joy 05:38 You Get What You Look For 06:26 The Biggest Mistake: Thinking Everything Has to Be Hard 07:12 How to Get Unstuck 09:11 Why Urgency Isn't Always Valuable 09:39 Leaving a Successful Career Behind 11:12 Healing Yourself Instead of Changing Your Circumstances 12:29 Trust Yourself 13:24 The First Step to Trusting Yourself: Listen 15:05 Finding the Right Business Through Experimentation 16:52 The Power of Subtraction in Business 18:19 What to Do When You're Overwhelmed 19:04 Finding Joy When You Can't Feel It Right Now 20:27 What's Next for Roberta? 22:34 The Big Takeaways: Subtraction, Focus & Being 23:15 Creating Life and Business in Joy and Profitability 23:48 Where to Find Roberta 24:28 Closing Did this content resonate with you?
