She was hitting her income goals every single month but she was doing it from a place a fear. She was people pleasing and hadn't seen it. She was exhausted and on the edge of a nervous breakdown.

43. Severely bullied, anorexia, depression and now a chronic illness that has forced her out the UK to seek out the perfect climate that will ensure Rachael avoids another round of hospitalisation

At the age of just 14, Rachael suffered with a severe panic attack after a bullying incident that resulted in hypoxia, which then turned into anorexia. This was the start of the spiraling decline in Rachael's physical and mental health. She had reached out for help at 16 but was refused as her BMI wasn't identified as reading low enough... 20 years later, Rachael now lives in a bubble in Gran Canaria after being told that the only remedy to one of her chronic illnesses was a warmer climate. This is a story of pain, of not belonging and of being failed by her very own country when she needed them the most. Rachael has since written two books and advocates for people with mental health issues and chronic illnesses. And against all odds, she was told that she would be in a wheelchair by the age of 30, she's now 34, wait until you hear what her f*ck yes moment is right now. It really did make my heart sing for her. Follow Rachael on Facebook here. [https://www.facebook.com/atwarwithmymind ] Or connect on Instagram here.

41. When your nay-saying voice gets loud, try this...

Over this past week, I've been running a free activation in my free telegram community to really get to know all the different versions of ourselves. The parts of us that want things and the parts of us that don't. Who we show up as when we go about our days, which sides of us different people, different experiences bring out of us. We started to understand when our nay-saying voice is the loudest and what triggers it and what we could do instead. Then today we're getting to the good stuff - what to do when you're retreating, hiding, not moving forward with the things that are going to push your business forward. It's been a powerful week so far and the best is yet to come. Todays episode lets you in on a bit behind the scenes of my life and the challenge as I bring this to you from my morning dog walk - poo bags and all. If you would like to come in and do this for yourself, you are of course, more than welcome. DM me the word 'activation' on Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/iambexhogan]and lets have a chat.
