The Courage to Be Authentic

Season #3

Personal Growth, Vulnerability, and Embracing Limiting Beliefs

In this week’s episode of the Big Hearted Podcast, I’m coming to you from my hotel room in downtown Vancouver, and it’s going to be a personal one. After receiving an email from my coach, Tina Tower, asking for feedback on her coaching program, I found myself reflecting deeply on my own journey — not just as a business owner but as a person who’s had to work hard to truly value myself. I share my experiences of overcoming limiting beliefs, the struggles I’ve faced in 11 years of running Rainbow Bridge Family Day Care, and how I’ve had to fight to believe in my worth. I talk about why it’s so important for educators, especially those in family day care, to recognise the immense value of what we do for children and their futures.

 

Here’s what I cover in this episode:

  • Owning Your Worth: Many of you shared with me that you struggle to value what you do. I dive into how that self-doubt can hold us back and what it takes to move past it. Being
  • Vulnerable and Leading with Heart: I get real about my own moments of vulnerability, how they’ve shaped me, and why showing up authentically as a leader matters so much. Breaking Through Limiting
  • Beliefs: I discuss how limiting beliefs can quietly run our lives and how I’ve worked to identify and dismantle them, both in my personal life and my business.
  • Celebrating Success: After 11 years of hard work, I’m finally living the dream I set out to achieve. But I also talk about how crucial it is to take time to celebrate the wins — even the small ones — along the way.

 

This episode is all about being honest with yourself, doing the deep inner work, and believing in your ability to make a real difference. Whether you’re an educator or someone navigating your own personal journey, I hope my story helps you feel less alone and more empowered to dream big.
