That’s the sound of 800 parents signing up to your webinar -
and you…
are not panicking. (Seriously)

Your palms aren’t sweating.
Your hands aren't shaking.
You’re not spiralling or secretly hoping your Wi-Fi crashes so you don’t have to do it.

You’re ready for this,
talking about something you love,
and feeling proud.

Now press rewind.

📼 Back to being a shy kid with a burning red face just from being looked at.
📼 Back to running for Head Girl and squeaking through the speech like a deflating balloon.
📼 Back to knowing I was a TERRIBLE public speaker
📼 Back to almost not becoming a teacher because I couldn’t imagine putting myself through something so mortifying again.

That used to be my story.
And for a long time, I believed it.

Until I didn’t.

I learnt about Growth Mindset.
Not as a fluffy quote.
But as a daily choice.

The choice to say:
🧠 This is hard, but it doesn’t mean I’m bad at it.
🧠 I can practise and improve.
🧠 I don’t have to wait until I feel 'ready.'

So when 800 people signed up to my webinar for tiney on Tuesday?
I wasn’t freaking out (not in the way I used to, at least)
I was nervous but I was also READY.

Not because I’m impenetrably confident now - I’m not.
But because I’ve built up my self-belief. Bit by bit. Thought by thought.

,This is what I want for you - and your child.

But don’t procrastinate and wait for the 'right time'.
Teach your kid this now, so they smash those Head Girl speeches.
Teach yourself this now, so you apply for the promotion you’ve been scared to go for.
Or just so you can walk the school run with a spring in your step, thinking:

‘This is all really hard.
But I’m bloomin’ trying my best.’

Because that?
That’s the mindset shift that changes everything. 💣

And on that note, get yourself to this on Saturday.

Seriously – when was the last time you grabbed yourself by the shoulders and shouted:
'WHAT DO YOU WANT, AND WHAT’S STOPPING YOU FROM GETTING IT?'
