Lucky On Purpose™
The Neuroscience
of Intentional Success
You’re not down on your luck.
Your brain just hasn’t been trained to see what’s already possible.
SMARTER Living™ is the blueprint for turning chance into choice.
What people are saying
Most people don’t need a fresh start.
They need a fresh perspective
So many people feel trapped, convinced there’s no way out of the situation they’re in. You’re not alone. Half of Americans say they feel at least somewhat trapped in their circumstances, and nearly one in six feel “extremely trapped.”
The cost of staying stuck isn’t just emotional. It shows up in burnout, strained relationships, missed opportunities, and even your health. Over time, feeling “out of luck” erodes confidence and makes it harder to imagine a different future.
It’s not about where you are right now. It’s about training your mind to see possibilities you didn’t even realize were there. When you shift your perspective, you don’t just escape feeling stuck, you step into becoming the best version of yourself.
As a former jazz performer turned entrepreneur, retreat leader, and speaker, Josee knows what it means to improvise through failure and still find the rhythm to rise again. From managing the chaos of stages and building a multi-award-winning wellness business to stepping onto keynote platforms, she has proven that luck isn’t random. It’s created on purpose.
Luck doesn’t walk out on you. Your wiring does.
SMARTER Living™
is the reboot.
We’ve all heard it: “Work smarter, not harder.” But what if your nervous system doesn’t know what smarter feels like?
When your nervous system feels safe, your potential expands.
Work SMARTER, Not Harder — Redefined
For many high-achieving professionals, “smarter” has become code for pushing harder. The brain confuses stress with success, trapping even the most capable leaders in cycles of overdrive and exhaustion.
Through her signature message, Lucky On Purpose™, The Neuroscience of Intentional Success, and her SMARTER Living™ Blueprint, Josee bridges the gap between neuroscience and conscious transformation to help high-achieving professionals create success on purpose.
Lucky On Purpose™ reveals the science behind why we think, act, and repeat patterns that keep us stuck, offering practical, brain-based tools to rewire thoughts, regulate the nervous system, and shift from survival mode to possibility.
SMARTER Living™, on the other hand, is the conscious transformation work, the seven guiding principles for believing bigger, living in alignment, and embodying the best version of yourself. Together, they form a powerful integration of head and heart, helping professionals optimize performance, expand potential, and create their own luck with intention.
S – Self-Awareness: Understand how your thoughts, triggers, and habits shape your reality.
M – Mindfulness: Slow down just enough to see the opportunity that’s been there all along.
A – Authenticity: Let go of perfection and embrace the parts of you you’ve been taught to hide.
R – Resilience: Learn to recover faster, stronger, and wiser.
T – Trust: Trade control for connection and follow your intuition, even when logic hasn’t caught up.
E – Emotional Intelligence: Master your emotions instead of letting them master you.
R – Reflection: Pause, assess, and realign.
“When Josee talks, she doesn’t just inspire, she reveals the opportunities hiding in plain sight and shows audiences how
to seize them with clarity, courage, and confidence.”

I’m Josee Madison,
I’m a former jazz artist and music tour manager turned speaker, retreat leader, and entrepreneur who brings decades of stage presence, lived experience, and deep insight into the human mind to every room I step into. At 41, a serious neurological condition brought on by burnout—and years of high-functioning overdrive—became the wake-up call I couldn’t ignore. It forced me to get honest, break free from alcohol addiction, and completely reinvent my life from the inside out.
That’s when I realized that luck wasn’t chance. It was a mindset. Certain moments in my life had proved that truth, but I couldn’t see until I began studying the mind, my behaviors, neuroscience, and spirituality.
After sixteen years of deep personal and professional work, I developed the SMARTER Living™ Blueprint. This practical, soul-and-science-based framework helps high achievers retrain their brains, reconnect with their hearts, and redefine success.
Through my keynote Lucky On Purpose™, immersive workshops, and transformational retreats, I help leaders and teams understand the mechanics of their mind, align their energy with purpose, and create clarity, courage, and sustainable success from the inside out.
