Nearly a full year of quarantine with a 6-year-old with asthma had me bound at home with a little chance or time to take care of my own needs. In the depleted state and adrenal fatigue, I felt very weak and physical signs of stress like hair loss and insomnia were my daily struggles. I decided I needed to shift the scenario and build up my strength again to be able to be present for my child and do the things I needed to do for myself to feel fulfilled and happy again.
I started with a nutrition program and was looking for a good and motivating exercise program. That’s when I got an invitation to the 10x program on Mindvalley and I chose the year membership because the lineup of quests really intrigued me.
Ken Honda’s Money EQ was one of the quests on the top of my list. I dove into several feeling my hopes for a better future renewed. It has been one of the best online programs I have ever gone through. I could not wait to dive into exercises and felt excited for the next day’s lesson. I am going to go back and do all of the exercises several times again. I have had so many personal breakthroughs, I am sure this quest is a gift that will keep on giving if I do the work and dedicate the time to self-healing.
I started a skincare business that has gone through a rollercoaster of experiences and some intense changes I did not predict. I have had to go back and rebrand, which was a curse and a gift in disguise because it made me understand how much I undervalued myself and my product. I went back and researched deeper than ever before, found more current research too and now feel more confident than I have in a long time to share the gift I have brought to this world. We have been trained to accept skincare that does not fulfill the promised purpose, often even introduces elements that are not exactly healing or healthy.
And on occasion also very damaging for the environment. Holistic skincare is a world apart from this concept. The idea with holistic skincare to perform a lot deeper function than just the surface appearance of the skin and the ingredients naturally are a lot more costly and often need to be processed much longer. I struggled with pricing my products in a way that was fair and I didn’t undervalue myself which would lead to resentment to my business.
Ken helped me understand a number of concepts related to money that is giving me new courage to share what I do. I know it will be a challenge to educate people and help them understand why what I do and offer is worth 20x more of any of the products on drugstore shelves and lasts about that much longer too. And I appreciate that what I intuitively felt was true about support in the community came as a confirmation from Ken’s teachings. I see it in my friends and I have seen it in my life too.
The more people believe in me, the easier it is for me to achieve my goals.
The abusive relationship that left me doubting my intuition, broke down my self-confidence on every level and caused a loss of most of my friends has really put a dent in that container. This is why I’m here to learn, to grow, to connect with like-minded people and to heal myself and the world in the process.
