The eternal pursuit of self-improvement is something we are all programmed to do. How that looks for each of us is different though. Empowerment isn’t just for the select few, its for all of us. That’s why I’m passionate about empowering women from the inside -out.
If I asked you what will you do differently today to get ahead? I’m sure your answer would be very different to mine. But the outcome would be the same we’re all looking to take action that makes us feel better. We’re all seeking forms of empowerment. Whether that’s how we feel about ourselves on the inside or the outside, in our roles as a mum, partner, friend, employee, business owner or entrepreneur – none of us are exempt.
It wasn’t until I had a total confidence crash in my early thirties that I realised I had to do something dramatic to change my life. I had to rewrite my own story. It was time to make myself a priority. I had to dig deep and find out what on earth it was that really made me ‘tick’ – what legacy did I want to leave behind? What impact did I want to make in this world? To be honest I didn’t know where to begin, so I just started by taking care of my health first and then figured it out along the way. The one thing I knew was that those changes I wanted to see, had to start with me believing in me.
Empowerment from the inside out
It took me some time to realise that by sharing my story and experiences (even the uncomfortable ones I would have rather kept hidden) I would be able to make a greater impact in the world. By simply being me, owning my story, letting go of my past and stepping into my future – I have been able to make positive changes. Not only for myself, but those around me. There are various things I did to overcome the fear of people finding out who I really was, one of them was taking control of my health. I sincerely believe that the time and energy I put into restoring my health, my mind and body – has yielded a significant return on investment.
So, what changed? Well, now I have a consciously positive mindset, great health and an awesome attitude towards my life goals, and the confidence to show up in a way that is truly me. These have been some of my secret weapons for unstoppable confidence.
When I first set up Roberta Style Lee – I had a vision… I wanted to connect with, help and inspire 1-million women to find their purpose and live their live with total confidence…I wanted to do that by 2018. I didn’t hit my target, so I have rest my goal and I hope to achieve this by 2020!
