About Me

If you’ve made it here, then maybe you’re searching, like I once was, to create a better life for yourself.

We all have our struggles in life, struggles that are deeply personal to us and are significant to our life story. For me, social anxiety, low self-confidence, and poor self-esteem were my greatest obstacles throughout my life.

I’m also naturally introverted (guilty!), and so throughout much of my early life, I hardly had a fulfilling social life, and often felt isolated. Many other areas of my life were also deeply unfulfilling, and I wasn’t getting anywhere.

I had made some progress at various times in my life, and worked to improve aspects of my life, but in general, I typically remained in my comfort zone, and the underlying anxiety and self-esteem issues continued to influence my life and my future prospects.

The truth is, I simply assumed that I would have to live with anxiety and low self-confidence for the rest of my life, and I drifted through the years never giving much thought into what I could do to change it, and what my life could become if I did.

Fast forward to 2022, and my world was utterly turned on its head. My comfort zone was smashed to pieces, and it would serve as the catalyst which would facilitate tremendous personal growth.

I was confronted with a choice, to suffer in the past and continue on as I had been, stagnate, and allow those life events to hold me back in life, or to begin a process of learning, healing, growth, and action, towards creating a better life for myself.

Due to the changing circumstances of my life, it was necessary for me to confront aspects of myself and my life which had been holding me back in all areas of life. I had moved from my home of many years (a quiet, serene area) into the city.

There was apprehension, but a great deal of optimism about my future and the life I wanted to make for myself. Ultimately, what I want my life to have meant. These are questions we should all be asking ourselves, but often neglect out of fear.

Little did I know how much work would be involved in this process of personal growth…

I began reading, a lot, and doing things which were scary to me, pushing myself out of my comfort zone, challenging my social fears, and learning how to truly build confidence and self-love. I also gained clarity on my past, present, and future, and have set goals that energize my life and give it greater purpose.

I believe this is possible for anyone to achieve!

It has been a long journey, and I have grown exponentially as a person, with much greater confidence, self-esteem, and have broken through much of my shyness and anxiety in the process. It has put me in a position to become more fulfilled in my present and future life, as well as fully integrating my past into who I am.

To anyone who relates to my story and is in the position I once was, I am here to tell you not only is it entirely possible to achieve this kind of growth, but I am here to help you achieve it at a faster pace.

This is exactly why I created LiveEsteemed, to provide my knowledge and life experiences in helping people who have been through the same, who are striving for greater happiness in all areas of life.

I am here to provide the wisdom I have implemented into my own life through my blog, social media content, and through my coaching/mentoring services, so you can achieve rapid improvements in your confidence, self-esteem, and fulfilment in all areas of your life!

Thanks for reading!
