I reflect on overcoming the limiting labels and judgments imposed by authority figures throughout my life. Misdiagnosed and misunderstood, I was labelled as lazy and disruptive before discovering I had Dyslexia in my 20s and ADHD in my late 30s. Through deep inner work and coaching, I’ve learned to shake off these false labels and consistently prove the doubters wrong. You are not defined by others' perceptions of you. You have the power to redefine your story and achieve success on your own terms.

Growing up, many of us carry the weight of labels and judgments placed upon us by those in positions of power. Teachers, parents, and authority figures often make assumptions about our potential and abilities, not realizing the profound impact their words can have. If you’ve ever been told that you couldn’t be something or do something, let me assure you: they were wrong. They didn’t know you. They didn’t know who you would become. This is Mental Resilience, the power is yours to take.
Throughout my life, I’ve been underestimated, mislabeled, and misunderstood. The Successful Underachiever: or so they thought. It wasn’t until my 20s that I was diagnosed with Dyslexia and in my late 30s with ADHD. Prior to these diagnoses, I was often labeled as lazy and disruptive. When I excelled at something, people assumed I was cheating. When I struggled with concepts like Harvard referencing, I was called lazy. These labels were far from the truth. They were reflections of misunderstandings, not my abilities or potential.
Through deep inner work and coaching, I’ve learned to shake off these labels. I’ve learned that the judgments of others do not define me. Instead, I have proven them wrong time and time again. My journey has been one of resilience and self-discovery, and I want to share this message with you: you are not the labels others give you.
The process of breaking free from these imposed labels is transformative. It involves introspection, self-acceptance, and a commitment to proving to yourself that you are capable and worthy. Coaching has been a vital part of this journey for me, helping me to see beyond the limiting beliefs others tried to impose on me.
I am here to tell you that you are more than what anyone has ever said about you. You have the power to redefine your story and prove the doubters wrong. Embrace your true potential, and let your success speak for itself. They were wrong about you, and now it’s time for you to show them just how wrong they were.
