FROM ANXIETY TO...
I was an anxious child, from being afraid of the dark, to the constant fear of my parents dying, to being ashamed of walking across a room to sharpen my pencil. That anxiety became social anxiety during my teen years.
And college was no different. I actually went hungry my first 2 days at college, because I couldn’t go to the cafeteria alone. I didn’t realize I was an introvert, so fitting in at college was a challenge for me.
Anxiety made it difficult to network and pretty much impossible to self-promote to managers and senior level staff. This led me stay stuck in jobs, bypassed for promotions, resulting in the loss of tens of thousands of dollars of income each year.
ACHIEVEMENT
I was tired of living with shame and guilt. Tired of late night emotional eating as I secretly ate my way through whole cakes and bags and bags of cookies. Tired of being held back by fear. Tired of being bypassed for promotions.
I had a huge mindset shift. I let go of the toxic guilt and shame.
I let go of perfectionism. I let go of self-doubt.
I learned strategies to manage my anxiety.
I learned how to use fear to take calculated risks.
I started setting and achieving my own goals and visions for my life.
My self-confidence increased. I built my self-worth. I was in control of my life. I completed 2 degrees. I transitioned to new careers which resulted in several promotions and increased salary.
Now I support women to excel by empowering them to manage stress, let go of fear and self-doubt to embrace self-confidence, dream big, and leap to their next best level.
