"This course has changed my life and I now feel invigorated and in touch with my true essence"

Before I started this programme I found myself in a situation I never thought possible. I was working in a broken structure of education and experienced an Exhaustion Collapse. I could've died had my husband not been there to help me as I was knocked unconscious as I fell and I swallowed my tongue. My children saw this and it broke me further. The weeks following I became the opposite to who I always was. I couldn't see a way forward and struggled with anxiety and intense migraines. I didn't realise how long healing could take. I've always been hardworking and I thought recovery 'should' be quick. I was asked 'If you broke your arm would you expect to heal quickly?' I had to admit that I had to stop and rest in all aspects. I didn't want to stop helping others and teaching, but I knew that I could not go back to my job. I searched online and looked into Mindvalley. I found the Life Coaching course and debated if I could do it. I finally decided that I had nothing to loose and this was resonating with me so I signed up. My confidence was low and I found it initially hard to engage. The Coaches and online community were so supportive, the layout of the course is so steeped with knowledge and positive interactions I gradually found myself starting to use the course to heal myself and see a future where I belonged. It challenged me and I started to love it. I started to feel like myself again but a better, newer version. I felt stronger mentally, spiritually and physically. I started applying the skillsets and could see that I was improving. I could see that it actually worked! If it worked for me, I could be part of a movement that continues to help others. I received devastating news about my dads terminal illness during this time and this course surrounded me with ways to cope, process and still see a way forward. It showed me how to look into myself, organise my mind, be present and connect. It showed me what my life could be, how I could heal and what I could become. Reconnecting with who I was and finding ways to move forward in a way I needed. Working with peer coaches the support was amazing. Now I've completed the course and I know that I want to be my own boss, I'm excited again to move forward. I'm excited about living my life! I'm grateful that I could find a way to develop and apply skill sets I have in teaching and performance to help and encourage others who may feel like I did. I cannot thank the coaches and Mindvalley enough. This course truly is life changing. I have the tools to make a difference and continue to evolve. I wouldn't want anyone to go through what happened to me and now I can support others if it does. I have more quality time with my children and husband. This course has changed my life and I now feel invigorated and in touch with my true essence.
