We just spent the last week in the Gold Coast on a little family holiday (there's a picture at the bottom of this email). It was really nice to unwind and just have some quality time with the family. This morning I was reminiscing on a time not that long ago... I remember back in 2022 when I met my wife Missy, I was in the early days of my business and I had only recently made the decision that I wanted to commit to a life long partner. I was still figuring out how to be the kind of man who could hold a healthy relationship and run a successful business at the same time. Honestly, it was a challenge to manage the pressure of growing the business and working through the emotional triggers that were coming up in the new relationship. I had lots of inner frustrations that I would project onto Missy in those early days. Looking back now I know that was all part of the plan and necessary for my growth. I needed to learn how to keep my shit under control and take ownership for my emotions. I had to work through a lot of shame, deep sadness and the subconscious belief that ‘I wasn’t good enough’. This period of my life is when I started working with an “energetics coach” who taught me a lot of the emotional healing frameworks I use in my coaching today. This healing work was powerful stuff for me and when I added it as an element to my work, my clients started to experience a deeper level of transformation as well. Now, after the last few years of honing my craft, I can confidently say that anyone who is wanting deep personal growth will have profound breakthroughs through the work we’re doing at Mind Launch. My relationship, business and life is a direct reflection of the inner work I have done. I know there’s a lot of BS on Instagram and social media from people showing their amazing life and pretending like everything is all sunshine and rainbows… I’m not here to be that guy, I’ll tell you the real and raw shit that goes on behind the scenes. However I do believe it’s important to celebrate your wins and for us (my family and I), this little family holiday has been a huge win.
