Before I started with Mindvalley I was in a terrible negative place with my partner, my kids were suffering as a result of that and I was setting a terrible example to them, I was dead flat broke and worried about the future all the time, I was face down on the carpet due to all of this plus menopause… you do the math! My husband and I started the program on procrastination but true to form we never finished it..I thought I was too time poor. But what Vishen was saying resonated with me and the seed was planted in my mind.
Then in 2022 my house burned down.. for the second time in just over a decade. WTF? In the next year we moved 29 times in temporary housing. I walked a Camino because I was homeless. I went home from Australia to the USA to stay with my parents for a bit. All of this felt like I was aimlessly wandering in the dark. My work was essentially stopped as I focused on where to sleep and how to pay for food. I worried a lot.
Fast forward to late 2023. My mother died. I became grateful for the fire because it had given me almost six months at home with her and my family. We finally got to move back home. The spiritual journey on the Camino led me to realise that taking time out to get my head together was not only ok, it was necessary. My body was stronger and more healthy from the walking. My partner and I were working on our marriage and that was in a much better place. I felt more settled but still unsure of where I needed to go next. I took a short term job offered to me not because it paid well, but because it gave me time to dedicate to my growth.
Mindvalley continued to pop up in my socials often and I saw the program Duality with Jeffrey Allen. My partner and I started it. We are halfway through and it’s changed my marriage, my work and my friendships. I’ve also done the Mindvalley Summit, 3MIQ and the 6-phase meditation programs. My goals are clear. My website and social (@forthenextcourse) are launching shortly and my writing is more focused and productive. I have more time every day, I’m calmer and my work is so satisfying I can’t wait to do it every day. The short term job at the NFP turned out to be so soul satisfying that I also can’t wait to get into that kitchen three days a week.
I want to share this platform with everyone I meet. I’m going to help end world hunger in this lifetime. I started over in my mid 40s and now in my mid 50s I’m on fire! I want to inspire others to change…it is NEVER too late to make your life better. One day I’m going to be up on the Mindvalley stage in a foreign country with my family and friends and colleagues behind me and a sea of people in front of me whose lives are better because I took the first step. That’s what I want to share with the world.
Are you ready for the next course??? It starts today. Mindvalley is a great first step.
