Yeah, thank you.

I really think that for myself, I really struggled in believing in myself, in learning the skill sets that I needed to in order for me to show up and actually achieve my dream.

And when I look back at what were the things that were holding me back, it was A, just the messaging I got growing up as a young Greek girl that was told time and time again that my future was going to be, I'm going to get married, I'm going to have kids, the end.

And that literally was the story that I grew up believing.

And when I think about the life I could have had, how far forward I could have been if I didn't have a belief system that didn't serve me and what my life could look like, oh my God, I try not to like dwell on it.

But that's kind of the thing that's like, okay, that's the gift that I wish every woman had so that I didn't have to go through it.

And so that became my North Star.

And the confidence part was

It wasn't even learning the business itself.

I don't consider myself smart.

I was put in a special class for being mildly dyslexic.

So I really struggled the whole way.

But learning business, for me at least, was ABC.

Yeah, thank you.

You can read books, you can watch videos, you can ask questions.

I really think that for myself, I really struggled in believing in myself, in learning the skill sets that I needed to in order for me to show up and actually achieve my dream.

The thing that I found the hardest was how do I get out of my own way, from my own belief system that I'm not good enough to get started in the first place.

And I think so many women struggle with that, and that's the catalyst.

And when I look back at what were the things that were holding me back, it was A, just the messaging I got growing up as a young Greek girl that was told time and time again that my future was going to be, I'm going to get married, I'm going to have kids, the end.

So if you don't have the catalyst, you then don't actually end up going anywhere.
