I discovered Mindvalley a few years ago from an IG ad. I was immediately drawn to Vishen and his insight on basically becoming the best version of yourself. I joined immediately, even though I was totally broke and proceeded to learn about all the things I believed would help me get to a better place in life. After a year of enjoying the hell out of Mindvalley, I just got more broke. I couldn’t afford to rejoin, so I took a break from it and tried to keep going on my journey of self discovery through free or more affordable avenues. As a single mother of two sons on the autism spectrum, dealing with my own mental health issues, and trying to expand my leather goods company all by myself, I have experienced the push and pull of the Universe.
One thing I kept doing was working longer and harder - trying to come up with ways to make my products faster and increase my profit margins.
Recently, it all blew up in my face. I burned out so badly I couldn’t even hold a piece of leather without shaking and crying because I was completely overcome with anxiety, fear, and the overwhelming shame of failure. I even yelled at my mother, who has supported for 13 years of trying to grow my company. Broken and having to go back on my medication, I decided to step away from my business and figure out where I got off track. An inner voice kept telling me “Take time off the table”. I did. Then I began to understand that I am an artist - you can’t rush creativity or increase its profit margin.
Now, I only step into my studio when I’m ready, and I only work on what excites me in the moment. I am learning to love leather work again whether it brings me money or not.
Suddenly, I started getting emails from Mindvalley again. I love reading those emails! Then one day, I see an email about the 7 Sacred States, and it’s free! I almost didn’t believe. I thought it might be a 15 minute intro into something coming up for Mindvalley members - something I couldn’t afford. But no, it’s free. You came for me when I was finally ready to receive. I know I’m on the right path. I have so much hope for my future now. I also know that Mindvalley is a huge part of it. I may not be the successful CEO on paper or my bank statements yet, but, for the first time, I feel like it in my soul. I will be one of your greatest success stories. I know it. Thank you for finding your way back to me.🙏🏾🙏🏾
