The speaker delves into their transformative journey that began in the summer of 2015 when they discovered Dr. Joe Dispenza’s work. That year was particularly intense; it began with the speaker finishing their Master’s Degree at NYU in May after deciding to stop taking prescribed stimulant drugs like Adderall and Vyvanse for ADHD on January 1st. The initial six months were challenging, characterized by a pervasive fog, given that they had been reliant on these medications since age 17 or 18—almost a decade.
The medication had not only been crucial for daily functioning but had also become a source of shame, casting doubts on the speaker’s ability to perform academically without chemical aid. Despite the difficulties, the speaker was determined to break free from the reliance on these stimulants out of concern for potentially damaging their brain. By the time they graduated, they felt lost, jobless, and unsure about their career prospects.
The introduction to Dr. Joe’s work came via Hay House and the speaker’s mother, who attended one of his progressive workshops and shared his meditation techniques. The speaker started these meditations daily, focusing primarily on cultivating internal energy instead of depending on external sources like prescription drugs, caffeine, or food. Another significant focus was on the letter “C” for career and community, seeking to develop a professional path and a supportive community.

The speaker’s background was interdisciplinary, intertwining art and technology, with no clear post-graduation path. However, within three months of regular meditations, an opportunity emerged. An old professor from the University of Colorado, where the speaker completed their undergraduate studies, reached out with a teaching offer.
Accepting this opportunity, the speaker moved back to Colorado and discovered a supportive community they hadn’t known during their previous residency. This move also marked the beginning of a deeply fulfilling career in teaching, which left the speaker emotional and grateful daily. Now, the speaker is a full-time faculty member at the University of Colorado’s engineering school, finding immense pride and joy in their role.
The meditations not only helped in career and community-building but also in developing a constant internal energy. The notion of needing stimulants to get through the day became unimaginable; even something as mild as green tea could feel overwhelming due to now having ample natural vitality. The speaker feels profoundly blessed and grateful for discovering and integrating Dr. Joe’s teachings into their life, which have provided them with not just a thriving career but also a sustainable, internal source of energy and well-being.
