Dreams really do come true! That’s what you’ll say after hearing the story of our today’s guest. You can overcome anything and you’ll achieve anything you’ll put your mind and work into. You’ll understand you are amazing and that you are capable. Let’s talk about Siri’s experiences a little bit, which I know will already take us on another level of inspiration.

At an early age, Siri developed severe anxiety problems, a lot of fear, which was manifested through her ‘insane’ case of OCD. It was because of too much pressure she put on her self on trying to ‘help’ her mother. Her mother had a terrible divorce which took a toll on her. Siri felt it is her, who should mend everything. But she lost her self in the process. In her pursuit of building back her self-respect, self-love and confidence, she worked hard on becoming the best triathlon athlete. The catch is, she is not a good swimmer! After her first race where she ended dead last, she fell in-love with the sport and proclaimed she’ll be the best in the world. True enough she did!

Training up to eight hours a day for the sport isn’t just the hardest hurdle she needed to overcome. After coming out to her dad as gay, he had not spoken to him in the next two years. More currently, in the past six months, she was fighting with Leukemia. Today? She and her father had a happy ending and last week she is cancer-free! In this podcast, Siri shared her secrets on training her mindset, resilience and her ability to overcome problems, in hope that you, our dear tribe, will also overcome what ever roadblocks you are currently facing. So, sit back, dig in, and take notes as Siri blesses us with her wisdom.

Here’s What You Missed

• How you can save someone who needs help?

Knowledge Nuggets

[3:38] Probably the best thing you can to save someone is to let them feel like they can stand on their own feet, so that they feel strong and powerful enough to know that they can get through this on their own.

[5:12] I had to be the superhero of my own life first. My experience of life is up to me. Things aren't just happening to me, it's how I'm responding. All I was focusing was what was missing. If I just adjusted my focus to things I had all the control over, which was my own experience of life, I could change everything.

[8:45] I'm the conductor of my own symphony of life, and I was going to create the music that felt good to me. I realized also that we all have that, and that kind of let me let go of trying to fix everyone else knowing that the only thing that's going to fix or help anyone else is when they decide to take charge of their own lives and do that.

[11:44] Her greatest WHY: "Find love for myself, that respect for myself and to feel, you know, proud and safe and strong in my own skin." These challenges can really hurt. But they often will inspire you or propel your, kick you into motion onto that path that is really meant to be your destiny.

[15:42] We have to live with ourselves. You better love yourself. You better be your own biggest supporter. You better feel safe with yourself and trust yourself. If something matters so much for you, you’ve got to back yourself.

[19:06] If you want it bad enough, you can make it happen. You believe in you, be all that you are and live your life authentically. Then you're going to have an amazing life.

[22:09] We all have to remember that every day of our lives, just living, people are watching and people are learning from us and we are examples. And our mentors can be like that too. We can be mentored even though we are seeing each other face to face.

[23:40] Comparison is the thief of joy

[26:15] Be vulnerable with your story and really share every aspect of it. Those stories have the biggest impact. It's about what you can give to the people around you.

[34:36] If you're not willing to fail, you're actually not willing to succeed because you're gonna fail on your way to success. And you've got to take that chance. You've got, you've got to fall down in order to reach the top.

[36:08] You'll never know unless you try. And, and that I am living proof that we are all so much more powerful than we could ever imagine. Take a chance on you. Everything amazing is on the other side of your comfort zone.

[37:43] "I saw the angel in the marble and I carved until I set her free". -Michelangelo.         We all have an angel inside of us. It just takes work and commitment and dedication to chipping away at the marble to reveal it.
