About Sabrina Garcia

Empowerment Guide. Community Builder. Lifelong Student.

Where It All Began

I grew up in Germany, where I studied electrical engineering and built a career at one of the country’s largest healthcare companies. From society’s perspective, my life looked perfect. I had a well-paid job, was climbing the career ladder, and was in a loving long-term relationship that seemed to be moving in the right direction. Yet, I couldn’t ignore the feeling that something was missing. Back then, I called it my dark side.

This so-called "dark side" was my true self trying to show me that I wasn’t living the life I truly wanted.

After leaving my 13-year relationship in 2020, I started my journey of self-discovery and asked myself three huge questions. Who am I? What do I truly want? And what do I not want?

What I desired most:

Happiness. Peace. Freedom.

Since childhood, I had dreamed of traveling the world, making friends in every country, helping those who needed support, and experiencing life beyond my imagination. That desire became stronger than my fear of change.

In 2023, I packed my life into a few suitcases and moved to the United States. It marked the beginning of my journey toward emotional and financial freedom.

I had no idea that this decision would become the greatest teacher of my life.

Building My Own Foundation

Moving to the United States was the first step toward my life goal. I thought changing my environment would finally bring the freedom I had been searching for. I promised myself I would never work for someone else again and would become an entrepreneur within three months.

Instead, life had other plans.

Over the following years, I experienced deep loneliness, financial uncertainty, disappointment and the loss of people I thought I could rely on.

What bothered me most was realizing that I had let my happiness and peace depend on other people, opportunities and circumstances.

I kept hoping that the next mentor, relationship or job would finally make me feel secure.

Eventually, after another deep hurt and disappointment, I stopped asking, “Who will be there for me?”

I decided to finally show up for myself, trust my own capabilities and build something without pressure. Letting go of control, fear and panic. Acknowledging those feelings and moving forward anyway. Focusing on the facts and asking myself, “What’s my next step?”

I value support, relationships and community. And I no longer expect them to carry my life.

Whatever happens, I know I will show up for myself, just as I would show up for someone I love.

That’s why I truly believe in Happiness Is Your Decision.

The Creation of
Happiness Is Your Decision

Happiness Is Your Decision began in 2020 as a place to share what I was learning about nutrition, sleep, movement, mindset, finances and relationships. Over time, I realized something.

The information was already out there. Most of us already know what supports a healthy and fulfilling life. The real challenge isn’t a lack of knowledge. It’s having someone who listens, asks the right questions and helps us see what we can’t always see ourselves. That’s why I focused on developing the skills that truly create transformation, like active listening, leadership, coaching and guidance.

When I moved to the United States, I became so focused on building my own business and becoming financially independent that I lost sight of why I started in the first place: creating content and serving others.

In 2026, Happiness Is Your Decision came back to life. Today, I create content that genuinely serves others without pressure. I share insights I’ve experienced myself and continue to learn every day. I’m building a community where people feel safe to connect, grow and become who They truly are without fear of being judged.

Happiness Is Your Decision is more than a community.

It’s a way of living.
