Her Life Before the Discovery of Self Confidence

Alexandra was undervalued and a little lost. She went through waves where she would be confident in college, then when the real world hit she lost a lot of confidence.

She overall felt very lost. Alexandra didn’t know what she wanted from my life. She didn’t know how she was going to contribute to society. She was also starting to get bitter.

The “AHA” Moment

Alexandra was working at a nonprofit that, while a very good nonprofit, it wasn’t an ideal fit for her. Her Aha moment was when she finally decided that it wasn’t the role for her and she overcame many issues particularly loyalty to the company.

To navigate the transition and rebuild confidence in my skills, she reached out to a coach to mentor her in the right direction.

Her Life After the Discovery of Self Confidence

Alexandra is excited to move to Thailand with her husband and this wouldn’t have happened if she didn’t go through this journey. She also had a huge mindset shift.

She also realized that understanding your value is huge. She is able to approach things differently and able to make decisions around her values. The most interesting experience was being able to say no to things. She was offered a full time job. But that time she had been bitten by the entrepreneurial bug. Alexandra had the confidence to choose to be an independent contractor so that she would have the flexibility to pursue her passions.
