Life throws us some curveballs, doesn’t it? Sometimes, it’s sunshine and Parisian pastries; other times, unexpected moments leave us questioning who we are. This week, I’ve been thinking about those plot twists that challenge our self-image.
First, there was my divorce, where I found myself not only single but a mother. A new version of me was born out of that situation, but it wasn’t pleasant. In fact, there were nights when I wondered, “How will I make it through?”
But I did. And then (as all good stories go), I found myself in Paris.
I craved something different, a life I couldn’t quite define. But strolling those cobblestone streets, indulging in pastries, and soaking in the effortless Parisian style, it all became clear.
I could envision the life I craved – a balance between ambition and ease, filled with simple pleasures and timeless elegance.
If you look back on your life, you will see the moments that changed you.
Maybe it’s the unexpected joy (and perhaps a little fear) of getting married – suddenly, you’re not just “you,” you’re part of a partnership.
Or perhaps it’s the unimaginable grief of losing a loved one, leaving you grappling with a new reality and a new identity.
Even a seemingly positive change, like a new job, can force us to confront new strengths and weaknesses, reshaping how we see ourselves.
(Psst...there’s more on the podcast!)
For now, think about those moments that have challenged and shaped your self-image.
Until next time,

The Power of Slipstreams
Have you ever been “in flow?” That exhilarating state where everything clicks, and progress feels effortless?
This is the same concept as slipstreams, where you align yourself with existing momentum to propel you towards your goals.
Just as cyclists conserve energy by riding behind a leader, you can harness the power of slipstreams in life by surrounding yourself with driven individuals, adopting proven strategies, and leveraging tools to help you achieve.
Slipstreams provide a path of least resistance, allowing you to accomplish more with less effort. What are the slipstreams in your life, and how can they carry you towards your dreams?
Slipstream Time Hacking: How to Cheat Time, Live More, and Enhance Happiness
It was actually through Slipstream Time Hacking that I first discovered the incredible power of slipstreams. When Benjamin Hardy handed me a copy of his book during a mastermind session, I had no idea it would completely transform my understanding of time and success.
This book introduced me to the concept of riding the currents of time to achieve my goals and create a life beyond my wildest dreams. Benjamin’s sophisticated yet practical guidance challenged my perception of what was possible and provided me with tools to help design my ideal future. Trust me, this book is a must-read.
Self-Image Events
Winning an award, changing careers, or conquering a fear – these defining moments are the self-image events that redefine who we are.
In today’s podcast, I explore the power of these pivotal moments and uncover how they profoundly impact our lives. Plus, I’ll help you learn how to identify, embrace, and leverage your self-image events as catalysts for your own personal growth and transformation.
