The limiting belief that kept you stuck and how you overcame it?

 That I wasn’t good enough. Growing up in Australia and then later in international school in Asia, I was always told that I wasn’t pretty because of my race or because I had to wear glasses or got good grades. When I was inspired to become a fitness coach during university, I was told that they would never put someone that looked like me on stage. Even in my first business, my male business partner would always warn me: “you don’t want to be a personal trainer that looks like she needs a personal trainer”. Those words hit hard. I lived my life by my body fat percentage or whether my genetically stringy abs (abs are significantly genetic!) would somewhat show up in the mirror in the morning. I lived with a weighing scale in hand, and a daily mirror selfie. Today, I feel grateful for the friends that tolerated the psycho that I was. It wasn’t until I lost everything: my seemingly perfect marriage, my business that was stolen from me, and even my health – multiple miscarriages, thinning hair, chronic fatigue and burnout…that I realized I was living my life on other people’s terms and not mine. It wasn’t easy, and I still struggle with confidence today – but I overcame it by taking the smallest steps to believe in myself and to see challenges and setbacks as “gifts” and opportunities, and to reframe my negative self-talk to a positive one.
