As far as I can remember, I’ve always been very aware. However, due to my environment and the beliefs from my family, friends, school, and community, I transformed to align with societal beliefs and pressures. This resulted in me becoming a massive people pleaser with the ultimate impostor syndrome. I tried to achieve the best in school and be a “good boy” in order to please others. I held back what I really thought until I didn’t know what I thought anymore! My only aim was to gain validation by pleasing my family and friends and even people I didn’t like.
I put all of my efforts into my schoolwork, university, and then later into my work. Everything depended on how others saw me. So, as I went through school, university, and the early part of my career, I felt incredibly alone, always anxious, always fearing people would find me out, and yet people perceived me as being successful.
I was always putting up many masks for everyone in order to hide who I truly was. This is what I had learned from an early age to do because it didn’t serve to be your true self—no one did this! I understood this but didn’t acknowledge it because of all the other feelings I had about my life.
When I entered the M&A and Investment Banking world, my imposter feelings intensified. The pressure to perform was immense, and the environment only compounded my anxiety and sense of isolation. It was a mask-ego world where maintaining outward success required more and more energy, resembling nothing of how I felt inside. I didn’t like myself at all. Everyone else seemed much better. I got taken advantage of, betrayed, and always felt lonely. Yet, I didn’t want to be around anyone just in case they found out about me.
Eventually, I reached a point where I could not continue any longer. I had a series of events that caused me to stop. The universe stepped in.
I began seeking how I could become my true self. This involved becoming an NLP master coach (for myself), consulting psychics, tarot readers, and engaging in other self-development therapies. While some of these worked, they were not permanent. I likened them to cutting a weed below the surface, but because I didn’t get to the root, it grew back within a few weeks or months.
Eventually, I got to the point where I realised if I wanted permanent change, I would have to seek it within myself. My awareness came back. I found teachers who could help, and through this journey, I developed my own energetic, awareness-driven, and physically embedded transformational approach to becoming your true self at all times.
Today, my mission is to empower individuals to transform their lives by unlocking their ultimate potential. With over two decades of diving deep into emotional mastery and self-discovery, I’ve helped countless people reclaim their inner balance and step into their true power.
If you’re struggling with the same challenges, know that change is possible. Your journey to authenticity and self-mastery can start today. Let’s break free from the masks and embrace who we truly are.
