Becoming Boss: Episode #136

Overcoming fear, acceptance, taking control of your life, and creating the future you deserve! 

This episode might be the most vulnerable and personal I've ever shared. 

I'm opening up about something I’ve never spoken about publicly before - a health condition that had a big impact on my journey to becoming my own boss.  It’s something that still impacts me to this day, but the difference is how I have reframed it in my mind. 

10 years ago I was diagnosed with Clinically Isolated Syndrome, a neurological condition that’s commonly a first sign of Multiple Sclerosis (MS). I was told I have an 80% chance of developing MS in the future. Although that was scary to face, it was the effect it had on my mind and behaviours that had the biggest impact on my life. I spiralled into fear, holding myself back and losing myself along the way.

I can proudly say that I was able to overcome my fears and create a business and life I love - but it did not happen overnight. In fact I stayed paralysed by my fears, unable to move forward for 4 years, until I was shocked out of it (literally)!

If you've ever felt like you're the only one too fearful to go after your dreams, trust me – you're not alone. 

In this episode, I want to empower you to overcome your own personal fears, take control of your life and achieve your dreams! From working on your mindset to creating a simple strategy and working the plan –  it's time to stop hiding behind things you cannot change and start changing the things you can. 

So, whether you've felt hindered in life by fear, self doubt or other limiting beliefs,  or you're just curious about this part of my career to entrepreneur story, this one’s for you. 

In the episode, I talk about:  

  • (4:40) Why I’m sharing this part of my story now 
  • (5:32) How I found out my diagnosis
  • (11:50) The impact and my spiral into fear
  • (16:15) How how I was knocked out of my fear ‘coma’
  • (21:01) My journey from fear to freedom
  • (24:42) Living with the unknown 
  • (26:26) Taking control, creating a strategy and working the plan.
