I, too, have had my voice stolen by low self-esteem.

For over 20 years, I suffered - quite literally - in silence. Exactly the way you’re muddling through now. But, if we’re honest with each other - woman to woman - it’s not really living, is it? 

It’s simply surviving. “Getting on with it”. Believing that low self-esteem is inevitable when we reach puberty and just goes on a downward spiral from there. 

I need you to hear me when I say:

It doesn’t have to be that way.

I battered and bruised my self-esteem every day. And I didn’t even realise I was doing it. 

Every time I glanced at my reflection, I’d scoff. I’d roll my eyes and curse myself for not being thinner. Not having a flawless complexion. Not being anything like Kate Moss on the red carpet, or size 0 women on the front page of Cosmo magazine. I wouldn’t eat without knowing precisely how many calories I was adding to my body. And I’d exercise like an addict to try and erase my calorie-count to 0. 

When I looked in the mirror, there were too many flaws to count. It was as if my voice had been stolen by my low self-esteem. And she used my voice every day to tell me how pathetic, worthless, and ugly I was. And without my voice, how could I fight back? 

It wasn’t a fair fight. And - if I’m honest with you - I waved a white flag and surrendered to its control.

Living under the reign of my low self-esteem was a constant battle

And I know you know what I’m talking about when I say “I couldn’t speak to anyone about it”. Friends and family would try to break through the armour and barricades my low-self esteem had positioned inside my mind. They’d tell me “but you’re beautiful” over and over again.

But the words never registered. Like you, I felt completely isolated.

So, I decided to make a change. 

The beginning of the end of my low self-esteem’s reign

I enrolled in University to study Psychology and Health. Little by little, I reclaimed my voice by learning the mechanics and battle-strategies low self esteem was putting into action inside my mind.

After graduating with a 1st class degree, my low self-esteem took a knock and a half. And it knew, at that moment, I was on a mission to take back what was mine. I strengthened my knowledge even further by completing a Masters degree in Forensic Psychology. Something clicked - like when the right key turns and grants you access. And suddenly, my self-esteem was powerless. Slaying it came from knowing: I am more than my body. 

I finally had my voice back.

My low self-esteem has been extinguished and replaced with confidence, self-compassion, and love. I’m now a business owner, a self-esteem coach, a mother to 2 beautiful daughters who won’t ever have to have their voice stolen, and a meaningful relationship.

And now, when my partner tells me I’m beautiful, I know he’s talking about - not just my body - but my whole self. And you know what? I smile and agree with him. 

Ready for your happy ending? Slay the tyrant that stole your voice. Don’t allow low self-esteem to take over.

My story has a happy ending. And so can yours. 

So, I became a Self-Esteem Coach. I did my due-diligence and got my accredited Professional Life Coaching Diploma (plus certificates in Confidence Coaching and Goal Setting for Success). It’s thanks to my improved self-esteem that I took the leap into business ownership. There’s no way my low self-esteem would ever have allowed it. Not under her roof and all that. But things had changed. It was my roof now. 

So, I worked with women of all ages, with totally unique circumstances and challenges, and showed them the roadmap to fighting back against low self-esteem. And to this day, I guide, support, and teach women to improve their self-esteem. They leave me with strategies to manage their thought patterns and emotions, adjust and transform their internal beliefs, and set realistic, actionable goals to allow them a limitless life. 

I learned how to improve low self-esteem, and wanted to change women’s lives. Just like yours.
