One question changed everything

I've spent my career unravelling the mysteries of why people do what they do.

I’ve seen individuals frozen in jobs they hate, that hold no meaning or purpose for them anymore.? Living each day without fulfilment, in a dark and dreary place, losing a piece of their soul with every day that passes.

I’ve been there. I know what it feels like. I’ve felt the ground give way beneath me and know what it’s like to ask myself what the hell am I doing?

After a recent miscarriage, I found myself in a vulnerable place with a scammer just waiting in the wings to pounce.? That experience cost me $30,000 of our hard-earned savings, as he smelt the desperation from me to leave my corporate job.

After being ripped off and realising this guy had nothing to offer, I had a meeting with my barrister, expecting to embark on a legal crusade fueled by evidence, a thirst for vengeance, and the promise of victory.

During the meeting my barrister stopped me, asking if by any chance, I had learnt a $30,000 lesson?

In that moment and for the very first time I asked myself, what am I doing?

Am I going to chase good money after bad?

Should I waste any more time on this?

What am I chasing?

What do I really want?

In that moment, it wasn't the gears of justice that clicked into place, it was the realisation that my error in judgment had taught me an invaluable lesson.

That one question shifted my perspective and, in that instant, changed every cell in my body, healing me from that trauma and despair.

It wasn't about recouping losses anymore; it was about recognising that sometimes the best move is to embrace the lesson, forge ahead with newfound insight and forgive myself.

That was a turning point. I discovered that I had all I needed inside of me to achieve my goals and that this was the day I embraced my entrepreneurial spirit.

I never filed the lawsuit. Instead, I stepped back up to the plate with the hard-earned knowledge that self-reliance was a currency more valuable than what I had lost.

As it does for so many of us, that decision to question myself, to take a hard look at what I was doing, marked the birth of a resilience that I never knew I had.

It wasn't just about guiding me onto the next chapter in my life, it was a catalyst for transformation.

A new era was born beyond my people-pleasing social conditioning, my inability to say no, a lack of confidence in my abilities, revealing my workaholic tendencies and a lack of assertiveness to speak up and speak out about what I am thinking and feeling while trusting my instincts.

There is a form of conditioning that breeds a fear of failure so intense that it kills the initiative needed to succeed. It turns potential into apprehension. It keeps you where you are.

But there’s also an empowering form of learning, one that leads to knowing you’re sure when you’re sure. That experience helped me discover for myself my three inner compasses:

my mind,

my heart,

and my gut.

I know now that my mind is the cartographer, drawing the map, weighing the pros and cons, and navigating the consequences.

My heart reminds me of my core values. Of what really matters and if the road ahead is leading me toward or away from what’s important.

My gut is my early warning system. Primitive, instant, intuitive.

We don’t always know why our gut tells us what it does, but we ignore it at our own peril. I didn’t listen to my gut at the time of meeting him for the first time and look what happened.

Seeing my own vulnerabilities and limitations reminds me that everyone,

regardless of outward appearance or success, grapples with doubts and insecurities. This shared human experience bridges gaps and is the key to fostering understanding and compassion.

The key is to embrace my mistakes as a natural and crucial part of the human experience, using it to cultivate self-awareness through analysis and feedback.

Most crucially now, I analyze my doubts, understand their origins, and use them as a stepping stone for growth.

If I could leave you with just one thing, it would be to have faith in yourself.
