"It helped me transform the one thing I never thought would change: the way I show up for myself"

When I started this class, I was excited — more excited than I had been about anything in a long time. I don’t have a huge educational background, but I have grit, and I was determined to show up. And I did. I showed up after surgery. I showed up sick. I showed up lying in bed with my laptop propped on pillows. I never missed, because something in me needed to be here.
What I didn’t expect was how deeply this class would change me.
Mindvalley taught me to show up for myself, not just for a class.
 During this program, I did things I never believed I could do.
 I got over my claustrophobia and flew all the way to Amsterdam — alone — just to attend the live event for my Mastery class. Then I continued to travel by myself for almost two months, doing things I didn’t even know I was brave enough to do.
But my biggest transformation didn’t come from the travel or the accomplishments.
 It came in a moment I almost quit.
I had a painful “hindsight moment” — a situation that triggered old wounds and old beliefs. It convinced me, for a second, that maybe I wasn’t good enough. That maybe I should hide. That maybe the old story I grew up with was still true.
But in the middle of that moment, something shifted.
I realized I was still suffering in silence.
 I was still shrinking.
 I was still letting my past dictate my future.
And that’s when everything changed.
Instead of quitting, I showed up. For myself.
 For the first time, I chose courage over my old limitations.
 I chose truth over the excuses I was raised with.
This class — this community — and the way Eric teaches, helped me see what I couldn’t see before:
✨ I am capable.
 ✨ I am worthy.
 ✨ And I am strong enough to create a life I never thought I could have.
Mindvalley didn’t just teach me concepts.
 It helped me transform the one thing I never thought would change:
The way I show up for myself.
This program didn’t give me a new life — it gave me the belief that I deserve one!
