Be Extraordinary

"When life left me breathless, I found a strength I never knew I had"

When life left me breathless, I found a strength I never knew I had. 
Be Extraordinary became my anchor when my world shattered. 
There was a time I believed the things that broke me would be the story that defined me. 
In 2024, I found myself in a hospital, waiting for a CT scan—exhausted beyond words.
 Then I got my answer:
 Stage 3 cancer. 
In that moment, I lost everything.  Every role. Every illusion of control. Every sense of safety. 
I lost everything—financially, physically, emotionally. I was in pure survival… barely holding on. Feeling like I was failing as a human, coach, entrepreneur, and mother. 
But in my darkest hours, I kept returning to what I learned in Be Extraordinary:
 Becoming Unfuckwithable.
 Bending Reality.
 True surrender. Real alignment. Prune. Bloom. 
I didn’t just watch the teachings. I lived them—when I had nothing left. 
Because it’s not what happens to us that defines us. It’s how we rise from it… that becomes our legacy of light. 
Each principle became a thread—until something bloomed through the ashes:
 My own method. My own voice. My own truth. 
Today, I am 1 year cancer-free. I live from embodied power.
And I’ve created the Blooming Reality™ method to help others rise too even while I am healing. 
Vishen didn’t just help me heal. He helped me remember who I am and who I came here to become. 
Forever grateful beyond words,
 Irma Nejstgaard 🌸
