Meet Amit Rozen of Honey Days

Today we’d like to introduce you to Amit Rozen.

Hi Amit, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory.
I am and have always been deeply connected to the wellness world. As a kid, I would listen to my friends and family talk about problems they had with intense focus. In High School, I volunteered for a crisis hotline in Los Angeles and was completely obsessed with the organization and the feeling I got when I would help someone through a problem. That experience led me down the path of becoming a therapist, and I received my Bachelor’s and my Master’s in Counseling Psychology. I began working on my hours towards becoming a licensed therapist (and still am) and during my time working at a tech start-up, got my first exposure to a life coach. He helped me so tremendously and I felt so seen and so heard in a way that was different than therapy.

I am a huge advocate of therapy and love it so deeply, but I felt that coaching was this interesting world where movement towards goals and active progression were more present. I thought that it would be interesting to do both as to get the best of both worlds! So I started my coaching business, Honey Days, and began helping people generally with any issue that arose that they needed support and guidance on. Quickly, I realized that I was way more interested in helping people find their purpose and their career path. That was always something that was important to me as I always felt my most unhappy self when I wasn’t living in alignment with my purpose. Fast-forward to now, where I help people create careers and paths that directly align with their passions and purpose. I help people create lives that are as unique and beautiful as they are.

I’m sure you wouldn’t say it’s been obstacle free, but so far would you say the journey has been a fairly smooth road?
This road was nothing but smooth. It consisted of many twists and turns. Life still happens even while you are trying to build a career or a business that feels like it should be linear. The idea that I am now here and one day I will be there is misleading. I quickly learned that life does not happen in that way. I went through an intense breakup, which completely turned my life upside down and it caused me to move to a different city. I found myself trying to grow a business during a pandemic, with all of its emotional challenges and days of just laying in bed wanting it all to pass already. What I used to view as bothersome challenges I now view as essential challenges. The best growth I have ever had is after something caused me to shift (which at the time, I felt bitter about) but it then ended up working better than it would have if it stayed the same. Life is not a destination point, it is a long and windy road that leads you down a crazy, beautiful journey.

Great, so let’s talk business. Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
My business is called Honey Days. It was built on the feeling you have on days that just feel right. That feels like everything in your life is beautifully aligned and you find yourself feeling sunshine from the inside out. It is about those days that feel warm and nourishing, where you can breathe easier and lighter than you usually can. My dream was to help people have more honey/nourishing/connected days than not. I am a career coach. I help people find clarity on what their passions and purpose are in order to create a career path they love. I specialize in helping creatives who struggle with conforming to the conventional path find their own unique way. It is not about shoving a job title on someone and helping them get that job, it is about discovering who you are to your core, what you truly want and dream of, and making that a reality in whatever form it needs to take.

I am most proud of my ability to see the potential in every single person. People come to me feeling so lost, filled with self-doubt and lacking the confidence in their choices. They are scared to move forward in any way because they fear that they will choose “wrong” again. I don’t see any past attempts as failures. They are all filled with essential information about what you like, don’t like, and your motivations behind your choices. I see people fully and believe in them immensely.

We’re always looking for the lessons that can be learned in any situation, including tragic ones like the Covid-19 crisis. Are there any lessons you’ve learned that you can share?
Saying I learned lessons during the Covid-19 Crisis is an understatement. This crisis has shifted me completely. I was talking to a friend last night and spoke about how this pandemic feels similar to when I found out the tooth fairy wasn’t real or when I noticed that I was giving voices to my dolls and the magic of imaginary play faded. It feels like a complete life transformation like it forced me to move to a different stage of life. What I knew before, what was my whole reality before, is completely different and probably will never look the same because I will never be the same. I have changed during this process and in turn, my business had to as well. I take on more of a “yolo” attitude and just want everyone that I help to go for their dreams and really figure out what would bring them long-lasting happiness.
