Julie Elves Contact information  https://linktr.ee/julie.elves Join me for Julies Elves LOA Challenge - https://tinyurl.com/loa-challenge. Written Answers to most of the question asked 1. Could you share more about your personal journey from being a abandoned and rejected kitten to becoming a fearless and confident lioness? I was abandoned at about the age of 2 and left in a dumpster at the side of the road. I must have screamed my lungs out to be rescued which I was and then I was immediately adopted by a very kind and affluent British couple. When my adoptive father died, my whole World fell apart. Quite literally, a shitdumpster was parked outside my door for 10 months. I suffered so many traumatic incidents back-to-back which sent me plummeting down a downard spiral to desperation and suicidal thoughts. Finally, I tried everything I could, from a practical point of view, and only got worse. After being prescribed very strong anti-depressants that made me lose control, I found the courage and sense within me to learn how to change my mindset so that I could help and heal myself. I transformed and revolutionised myself into a lioness. 2. As the founder of Unleash Your Lioness, what is your mission and how do you help women become fearless, strong, and confident lionesses? I help 1 BILLION female entrepreneurial kittens become fearless, strong and confident lionesses that they were born as and want to be again so that they can LIVE A LIFE BY DESIGN, NOT BY DEFAULT. 4. You mentioned helping women who suffer from Impostor Syndrome, anxiety, people-pleasing, depression, and various fears. Could you share some strategies or techniques you use to address these challenges and support their transformation? 1) Anxiety - you can use a Positive Intelligence method called Tactile. It involves you closing your eyes whilst you lightly rub your hands together and tickle your wrists. 2) Depression - Post-It notes are great! 6. In your experience, what are some common obstacles or roadblocks that women encounter when trying to embrace their fearless and confident selves? How do you help them overcome these obstacles? Giving too much of themselves to others and forgetting to allocate time for themselves to practice self-love and self-care. I teach them to prioritise their needs so that they refill their cup often. The Dreaded Comfort Zone - not allowing themselves to step outside of it. The magic happens outside this Zone. I teach them how to take baby steps outside of the Zone to slowly expand it.
