“I was a troublemaker from infancy. My motto was either I give the first punch or I get punched. I don’t want to get punched so I was the one that was giving out a lot of punches.” Those were the words from Jacqui Letran to express how it was to grow up fighting to survive. Jacqui is a multiple award-winning author, international speaker, mindset mentor, and host of the podcast, Stop the Bully Within. But before all the fame and the adulation was a teenage girl who had to struggle with depression and anger.

Everything is in our head. We don’t realize that over the years, we have been telling ourselves negative messages or negative interpretations about the things that we want to achieve and the willingness to achieve what we want. When you want to achieve something, whether in your business or in your career, and you tell yourself you want to but your subconscious mind is not supporting you in moving forward through your direction, whatever decisions that you make moving forward, it is going to drag you backwards instead of moving forward. A block in the subconscious mind is going to hinder our performance. When we look into our mindset and our subconscious mind, we realize that we picked up all these negative traits or blocks. Mindset rapid transformation coach and Queen of Happiness Angeline Yee empowers her clients to make the changes and helps them release the greatest strength in them to achieve an uncompromised performance.
