At school
I was often told I needed to do better, apply myself better, read the questions more thoroughly. I was humiliated by my English teachers when I talked about wanting to be a journalist or work in radio, as I was told I simply wasn’t good enough to study English so it was unlikely that I could be a Journalist, which I thought was what I needed to do to work in radio. In fact my school told me to go off and do it and then come back and tell them about it one day!
My self-esteem
Around my academic abilities was tainted at a young age which is a real shame. I went to an all-girls school and my creative flair lets call it wasn’t always encouraged. Despite having a successful career in radio broadcasting and being invited back to my school to talk about it those historic monsters have been hard to shake. I’ve been my own boss for over a decade, hosted a breakfast radio show for five years for Heart, one of the leading commercial radio brands in the UK. I’m an award-winning voiceover artist, with a series I’ve narrated currently running on Netflix and I host a leading podcast for six years which is currently within the top 30 Alternative Health podcasts in Apple and always within the top 100 and it has had almost half a million downloads and is listened to in over 90 countries, yet I still get crippled by imposter syndrome.
Until Now… So what changed.
Well firstly, I’ve been working hard to silence my chimp, doing a lot of self-development and understanding business. For the last six months, I have been part of a business mastermind as well as taking other business training and as a result, I’ve been adding systems and strategies to my business and making a real effort to be more visible yet still, the ‘im not good enough’ messages have run so strongly through my veins. Then two different people who I am training under told me I was good enough. I was finally validated.
I officially qualified as a Freedom Fertility Specialist, having procrastinated about my ability to do this work for months due to my inner chimp bouncing around and around.
What is the Freedom Fertility Formula?
It is a formula to teach to help people struggling to conceive how to manage their emotional wellbeing and mental health to help them cope better. It is an essential part of the support puzzle that I’ve wanted in the work I do.
I knew I could do this, but I didn’t believe myself. How bloody frustrating is that, so I set myself a deadline on joining the business mastermind I mentioned earlier with the aim of working out how I was going to complete my training and launch this new aspect of my business to the community I had been creating valuable content for and building relationships with for six years.
Finally, I reached the point of launch which is happening on 13th July with a challenge within my closed facebook group where I will be sharing more of what I have learnt and opening up the doors for group sessions and some 1:1 clients.
I am on a mission to help people shine a light on their emotions by giving them a better understanding of what they mean.
