Then one random Tuesday, driving home with my son in the backseat, something shifted. I looked at myself in the rearview mirror and asked: “Why the hell not me?” This moment sparked a journey of self-discovery and transformation that I hadn't anticipated.
That question changed everything. I returned to school with a growth mindset, determined to finish my education. It took seven years of night classes, battling failed courses, and confronting the limiting beliefs that whispered I didn’t belong. But I did it, fueled by the empowerment I found through mindfulness and positivity.
Four months after graduation, I landed a job that came with a $50,000 raise, a true testament to my personal development as I embraced the role of a mindset coach in my own life.
That’s when I realized something profound: The biggest barrier holding me back wasn’t my background or circumstances. It was the story I kept telling myself about what was possible for someone like me. By embracing this clarity, I unlocked my potential and overcame the doubts that once defined me.
