MY STORY
How my journey evolved...
My confidence levels were pretty good when I was younger. However, when I moved to high school my confidence dropped. I had a competitive nature and compared myself to others. In high school I found more people to compare with. The opinions of friends, family and teachers started to take meaning and I began to view myself differently. I labelled myself as thick, which held me back most of my life. Every idea, or dream quickly got quashed by my negative self talk and low self worth.
WANTING MORE
You see, fear has been a dominant emotion since my teens. Fear of failing, fear of what people may think, fear of succeeding!
​
If opportunity came my way it would ignite feelings of fear. I avoided promotions at work, I avoided higher education and much more. My opinion of me always got me stuck. That’s not to say I never stretched the boundaries. I did! I qualified as a further education teacher. However, I had many sleepless nights worrying I wasn't good enough. Even with positive feedback I didn't believe in myself! Consequently, I jumped ship and went back to my comfort zone.
MY TRANSFORMATION
After four family bereavements and long covid I hit rock bottom. I made a decision to start that change.
​​
Cue self development, life coaching, meditation, breathwork and somatic healing. In the last few years I worked on changing my mindset, regulating my nervous system and letting go of the childhood wounds that were keeping me stuck. I needed to be myself and unleash that inner belief. I could feel myself becoming more courageous. As my nervous system started to regulate as I let go of old emotions, my self worth improved, I could take more leaps into the fear.
MY SOLUTION
After some soul searching I found myself on a life coaching course, then a breathwork facilitator training. As I continued my journey to developing my self worth, I finally realised why I had felt unworthy.
​
I switched my focus to body work, breathwork for release, inner work to pinpoint the wounds which needed reframing. I worked on noticing my thoughts and feelings and being with them. Doing this had a massive impact on my outlook. I was finally heading towards what I wanted and felt empowered and unstoppable!
BECOMING WHO YOU ARE MEANT TO BE
I am now in a place where I know my worth. I realise that fear was taking control and creating my negative outlook which held me back. I have qualified as an Internationally Accredited Coach and Breathwork Facilitator which is way off my original level of self belief. I no longer way up the fear factor. Fear now means I am making progress because I am stretching myself and my boundaries.
​​
Through breathwork and coaching I have unravelled where my fear came from and gained clarity on ways to overcome the old belief systems. I gained courage to return to authenticity. Living as myself without adjustments to accommodate how I am should be in a world where individualism isn’t celebrated.
​​
Now I've made it my mission to be able to help others do the same!
