Five years ago, I sat in an event by JT Foxx feeling small, uncertain, and frustrated. Everyone around me seemed so much more courageous, while I struggled with self-doubt and impatience. Fast forward to today, and I recently attended the same event, but this time, I felt proud, grateful, and amazed by how far I’ve come.
In this episode, I want to remind you: don’t underestimate time. You can go much further than you think, and it’s never too late to start. Five years ago, I couldn’t have imagined the transformation that would unfold in my life—from writing my book to breaking generational patterns and even finding peace with my parents. It’s been a journey of growth and resilience, and I want to share it with you.
If you’re feeling stuck or believing it’s too late, this episode is for you. I’ll talk about how I overcame self-doubt, pushed through fear, and found the courage to change my story. Trust me, you can do the same.
Listen in, and if you need guidance on your own journey, feel free to book a free discovery call with me using the code Transformnow.
Tune in and remember: it’s never too late to start living the life you’ve always dreamt of.

I have to tell you something that hit me like a lightning bolt during a recent seminar. I was watching two colleagues practice coaching techniques, and I suddenly saw myself in one of them. His name was Benny, and as he opened up about his struggles and doubts, I realized that his inner battle was exactly what I had gone through.
Benny wanted to start a men’s group—a dream he had held for so long—but self-doubt had stopped him in his tracks. He kept asking, “Who am I to do this? I’m not good enough. There are people way better than me.” Oh, how familiar those words sounded to me!
I saw the Benny in me—the me who, before my first webinar, was riddled with the same doubts. “Who am I to offer this? Who will even listen?” Yet, when I pushed through that fear, stepped out of my comfort zone, and finally hit “Go Live,” guess how I felt? Amazing. So proud. Like I had finally become who I was meant to be.
Have you ever felt that way too? You dream of doing something big—something you’re meant to do—but those nagging voices of doubt stop you from taking that step forward. It’s exhausting, isn’t it?
Here’s what I learned from watching Benny and reflecting on my own journey: we all have the skills and the potential to do what’s on our hearts. We just don’t always see it in ourselves right away. But sometimes, taking a step back and seeing yourself as an observer can be the key to moving forward.

I was 15 years old, standing in my mother’s bedroom when she looked at me from her bed and said she wanted to commit suicide—because of me. That moment stayed with me for years. It became part of the shame I carried, the belief that I was a terrible daughter, a burden to my parents. For so long, I felt responsible for their pain.
But here’s the truth I’ve learned: I am worthy. Worthy of love. Worthy of peace. Worthy of freedom.
In this episode, I dive deep into that painful chapter of my life and share how those childhood wounds still show up today—triggering me in unexpected ways, like a simple phone call with my 90-year-old father. That discomfort? It opened the door to some serious healing.
One of the most transformative tools I used on this journey was AI. Yes, you read that right—ChatGPT. It helped me unravel the trauma and guided me through healing exercises for my inner child. And now, I’m sharing those insights with you.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re carrying the weight of your family’s pain, or you’ve been told you’re "too much"—this episode is for you. You deserve to know you’re not alone, and most importantly, you are worthy.
Tune in now, and let’s walk this healing journey together.

Last week, I had the incredible opportunity to be part of the crew at Tony Robbins' "Unleash The Power Within" event in Cologne, Germany. Picture this: 13,000 people from all over the world, coming together for four days of life-changing experiences!
You won't believe the energy I felt among the 400 crew members! It was like being part of a big, loving family where everyone truly cares for one another. I've never experienced anything quite like it before!
As someone who speaks German, French, and Italian, I found myself in a unique position to help so many people. It was incredibly rewarding to see the relief on people's faces when they realized they could communicate in their native language.
During the event, I received a beautiful bracelet from one of the trainers. It says "Believe in Yourself" - a powerful reminder that we all need sometimes. Remember, you are enough! You have everything you need within you already.
I can't stress enough how much my life has changed in the past four years, thanks to the tools and techniques I've learned from Tony Robbins and my amazing coach. If you're struggling with self-doubt or trying to change others, this episode is for you!

Do you ever feel like giving up on your dreams? Like maybe it's just too late, or you're not quite good enough? I’ve been there, too. But today, I want to share something that I hope will inspire you to keep going, no matter what.
In this episode, I dive deep into the power of real-life stories and how they can be a guiding light in our darkest moments. I talk about how one of my biggest inspirations, Nelson Mandela, found hope during his 27 years in prison. He discovered light in the darkness through daily journaling and being grateful for even the smallest things. If he could find strength in such dire circumstances, what’s stopping us?
And then there's a special story close to my heart: my dear swimming colleague, Melanie. She took on a 5k open water race for the first time this year. At first, she felt she was the slowest, with doubts clouding her mind—much like I did last year. But instead of giving up, she found strength in the story I had shared with her about my own experience. She told herself, “If Esther can do it, I can do it, too.” And guess what? She finished strong, even better than I did!
These stories remind us that we all have the strength within to push through, even when things seem impossible. And guess what? It's never too late to pursue your dreams. I published my first children’s book at 54 and didn’t stop there. I didn’t listen to those nagging inner voices saying I wasn’t good enough, and neither should you!

If you’re thinking, “What could be so interesting about a tortoise?”—I get it. I used to feel the same way. But this isn’t just a story about a tortoise. It’s a story about life, love, and what it means to truly be seen.
Franklin came into my life unexpectedly, a 50+ year-old tortoise with a history of resilience and strength. At first, I didn’t think much of him. Tortoises were my mother’s favorite animals, not mine. I’ve always been a cat person. But as the days turned into weeks and the weeks into months, something changed. I found myself checking on him constantly, making sure he was okay, especially on those hot, sunny days.
You see, Franklin had a unique challenge—he couldn’t flip himself over if he got turned on his back. And in the heat of the summer sun, this was dangerous. So I made it my mission to protect him, to make sure he was safe. And in doing so, I discovered something profound.
Franklin, with his gentle eyes and his determined little walk, taught me the importance of being present. He showed me what it means to feel truly seen, something I didn’t even realize I was missing. He’d greet me with his awkward shuffle whenever I was nearby, and in his simple, quiet way, he reminded me of the importance of connection.
He made me feel seen. And I realize now how rare and precious that feeling is.
We all want to be seen, don’t we? To feel recognized and loved for who we are, flaws and all. Franklin taught me that before I can truly see others, I need to see myself. And that means loving myself, even when I mess up, even when I feel like I’m not enough. It’s a lesson I’m still learning, and one I want to share with you.
Franklin may no longer be with us, but his lessons live on.

Here’s the game-changer: The biggest transformation in my life happened when I stopped looking outside for solutions and started looking inward. It’s not about finding the perfect job or fixing every relationship—it’s about connecting with your true self.

A simple shift in perspective can completely transform how you see your life. I realized that all the fears, the “what ifs,” and the self-judgment that used to weigh me down were just my way of protecting myself. But what if, instead of fear, I chose curiosity? What if, instead of self-blame, I chose self-compassion?
This isn't just some feel-good fluff—it's real, and it’s life-changing.
For years, I’ve been carrying this fear of missing out, a feeling that I wasn't seen or heard as a child. It seeped into my adulthood, making me obsess over every email, every missed opportunity, every little thing that could go wrong. But today, I learned something so simple yet profound: by shifting my perspective, I can turn that fear into a drive for growth.
When I look at myself with kinder eyes, everything changes. That email I’m so anxious about? It’s a chance to learn. That frustration over a broken bench? It’s a reminder to stand firm in what I deserve. And those lingering doubts that creep in? They’re just a signpost on my journey—not a dead end.
