"Starting the course gave me a boost of confidence after our first Q&A"

At 30 years old I got divorced and my life and dreams were crashed. It was followed by depression until I fell in love again. This elation of happiness after so much sadness sent me into a manic/psychotic episode that got me locked up in a mental health hospital. While there I was still high and to be honest it didn’t feel like I was having a mental health episode but rather a spiritual enlightenment where everything in life made sense, but all I said made no sense to anyone and they all just thought I had lost my mind forever. I got smart and realized I had to stop saying spiritual stuff to get out of there. Once I got out I wanted to become a spiritual teacher, it was all clear to me now. However, I was then sent to an outpatient psychiatrist who was completely heartless and told me I was bipolar and that my next episode was going to be depression. Soon after my life fell apart. The person I fell in love with left me because my family scared her of my mental health. I lost my driver's license, got in trouble with the law from driving on the side of the street while manic (that’s a whole other story), lost my job, and a lot of money, and went bankrupt. My born-again Christian sister shamed my spiritual discoveries and shamed the fact that I wanted to become a spiritual healer. Not long after all that I went into a worse depression that almost sent me into suicide. I couldn’t deal with all I had lost and worse now that I was diagnosed with something that was so shameful to me after having it all. It took many years of work for me to get out of the hole. It all started by stumbling upon Ekhart Tolle's book The Power of Now and then joining as many free courses as Mindvalley. It took years to get to where I am today, a person who is completely joyful and happy with all that life has to give.
 I have started many businesses, always with an entrepreneurial mind thinking I wanted to do those jobs but really knowing what I wanted to do was to help people come to their joyful selves as I am. However, I was ashamed to say I could help anyone when I have been through so much pain. All those businesses were never successful because I never had the energy and passion to continue so I went to the next and next.
 Then Mindvalley Certified Life Coach course came on Facebook, and right there it gave me a level of confidence that I could do that. It was sent by the universe, that I could finally fulfill my purpose and be what I needed to be. I thought to myself, if I get a certificate from a reputable place like Mindvalley I will be seen as a professional. Starting the course gave me a boost of confidence after our first Q&A. I got very excited opened my website, and made my logo with my name! Which was so out of my comfort zone and changed my mindset to a successful coach. Every day learning more and more has given me many aha moments and got me even more excited and started putting myself out there on social media and working on building social media platforms. I know I’m not certified yet and I don’t have clients yet but hearing Ajit say that we are coaches already from our first call gave me the boost I needed to put myself out there. 
 I am soon to start a podcast and ready to finally write the book I always wanted to write. All is coming together 😊
 Being part of a community of like-minded people really immersed you in the embodiment of feeling like a coach. I believe anyone who wants to become one should go through this course.
 I am now going to the Supercoach immersion in Austin and can’t wait to open myself up more and manifest clients.
