I’m sure the information above will make it look like the last 12 months was such a breeze and I enjoyed every minute of it. It wasn’t and I didn’t!
I had so much I wanted to say and share that sometime it got overwhelming. No matter how much you think you have progressed in your ‘mindset – reset’, overwhelm can stop you in your tracks. If you’ve been with me from the beginning of my journey, you’ll recognised that these are the weeks when there is no Sunday newsletter!!
Then of course, there’s ‘imposter syndrome’. Every time one of my blog posts gets a lot of hits, I celebrate. But, there’s a quiet voice in my head that say’s, “Look at you thinking you’re Mel Robbins or Oprah trying to change peoples lives. Who the hell do you think you are?”
And then I would panic about my position in this ‘self help arena’ and write a blog that I’m not too proud of!
This voice is getting lower and lower as time goes on. However, there are times when I have to repeat to myself –
“I am here, I have something to share and I am worthy!”
My lows over the last 12 months have been mainly triggered by a crisis of confidence. As I start becoming even more comfortable with calling myself a blogger, I have no doubt those voices will get lower and lower. They may never go away, but I will not let it stop me from transitioning from who I was, to who I am becoming.

Dear Chantelle,
Good day.
Happy Anniversary to you.
I have followed you from the start, you are an inspiration to myself and your followers. Must admit some times I forget to stay on course. I guess it is a number thing.
Keep up what you are doing with God`s Blessing on your side. Sharing is caring, therefore I will continue to share your blog.
Love you Daughter.

Thank you Jenna!! Literally can’t believe time has gone by so fast. Hopefully we will both be able to resign our membership to that club and own our power – totally and authentically.
