The 7 Out of 10 Life

A new conversation on the Skin Talks podcast — and why I'd love you to listen.

Have you ever looked around at your life and thought: this is good… so why doesn't it feel the way I imagined it would?

You're not ungrateful. You can see how fortunate you are. You wouldn't trade it.

And still — something sits just slightly off. Something you can't always name.

I call it the 7 out of 10 life.

The 10 is what it looks like from the outside. The title. The résumé. The house. The version that photographs well.

The 7 is what it feels like on the inside.

Most high-functioning people I meet live at a 7 for years without ever saying it out loud. And here's the part almost no one tells them: that 7 is fantastic. The trouble isn't the 7. The trouble is the gap between the 10 we see and the 7 we feel — and it's the gap that quietly makes us unhappy.

I know that life from the inside.

For 25 years I was a senior HR executive — the last chapter at Deloitte. My calendar was booked a year in advance. I knew, months ahead, which city, which room, which meeting.

Then my corporate career ended, on someone else's terms. Overnight, the calendar emptied.

Three days later I sat down for an interview and I froze. The woman who had walked hundreds of people through exactly this moment couldn't string a sentence together.

Walking home, it landed: this isn't a job I need. It's a transformation.

That was the beginning of everything I do now.

On Skin Talks, I sat down with Beate and Natascha and we went straight into it — honestly, and without much of a filter.

We talked about:

• the 7 out of 10 life — why the gap between the 10 you see and the 7 you feel is what quietly drains the joy, and why that 7 might be the best place you've ever stood

• collecting 10/10 moments instead of chasing a 10/10 life

• what a frozen interview reveals about the beliefs running quietly underneath a very successful life

• Peel Back · Rewire · Rise — my method, and the one step most people skip

• the three families of belief I find under almost everyone who feels stuck: I'm not enough, I'm too different to connect, and that's available to others, but not to me

• what hypnosis actually is (and what it isn't) — no swinging watch, just a faster route to the part of you that's been running the show

• and the belief I had to unlearn before any of it worked: that I had to do it alone

Here's what I most want you to take from it.

Your 7 is not a failure to reach 10.

The gap isn't proof that something is wrong with you. The gap is where the opportunity lives — the room to grow, to explore, to keep transforming the life you've already built.

And those 10/10 moments? This morning I had one, in bed, talking out loud to my dog, getting ready for the day. Learn to notice those. Collect them.

You have far more wealth inside you than you know. Most of it is sitting quietly in your subconscious mind, waiting for the right key.

And when you've listened, come tell me what your 7 out of 10 sounds like. Faites-moi un petit coucou. I'd love to hear.
