Who am I?

There are two pieces of my story that I will always reflect on:

1. How deeply I underestimated myself through the internal story I told myself

2. You can achieve all that you think you want, but, if you don’t learn to care for yourself, it will never be enough.

Becoming a professional public speaker is challenging and non-linear, particularly when you experience acute stress and anxiety.

I always underestimated myself, perhaps we all do.

One commitment I made was to put myself in the middle of the arena, in the middle of the ‘scary’ stuff. I bulldozed through my fears, head first every time.

This approach delivered success I thought I wanted, but left me lacking most of what I needed. After experiencing both worlds I now have tools to help me find my healthy balance.

Through these mental health challenges I’ve become curious about how we regulate ourselves (make our lives easier) while we pursue a meaningful life.
