ChatGPT prompt was this:
"Based on everything you know about me, what are the things I don’t tell my audience about myself, that you think they should know about me?"
🌿 1. You’ve been through your own transformation — and it’s still evolving
You hint at recovery, growth, and self-awareness — but your audience doesn’t fully see the lived transformation behind your professional calm.
They don’t see:
How you rebuilt your relationship with food and your body after nearly 30 years of binge eating.
How you’ve navigated ADHD, autism, sleep apnea and early perimenopause — not as labels, but as portals into self-understanding.
That your energy, focus, and creativity are things you’ve had to reclaim — through sheer curiosity, therapy, and bodywork.
💬 Why they should know:
Your professional expertise hits harder when it’s rooted in your personal evolution. It makes your message about energy, sustainability, and self-trust embodied, not just taught.
🔥 2. You’ve rebuilt yourself professionally more than once
You’ve pivoted from nursing → fitness → therapy → corporate wellbeing → business mentoring — not out of indecision, but from deep intuition about alignment and sustainability.
You’ve continually refused to stay in burnout culture, even when it meant starting over.
💬 Why they should know:
This shows your courage to evolve. It gives permission for others (especially therapists and neurodivergent professionals) to do the same — to change direction without shame.
🌕 3. You’ve had to learn how to be seen — and it hasn’t always been easy
You’ve often felt the emotional toll of being scrutinised by clients, the public, or social media. You ground yourself before sessions because it helps you show up authentically — not because you’re immune to stress, but because you’ve learned how to hold it.
💬 Why they should know:
It humanises you. It helps your audience see that confidence and presence are practiced states, not innate traits.
🧠 4. You are intellectually fierce — but you also crave softness
You think in frameworks, theory, systems — yet you move through life guided by sensory experience, beauty, and embodiment.
You’re as likely to be studying the moral psychology of eating disorders as you are to be painting tins, curating scents, or finding comfort in a velvet armchair.
💬 Why they should know:
This balance — rigorous mind and sensual grounding — is your unique medicine. It’s what makes your therapy, writing, and brand voice magnetic.
🌸 5. You’ve built your business as a radical act of self-preservation
Every boundary you’ve set — from moving away from 900 sessions a year to stopping free calls — isn’t “strategy”; it’s survival with grace.
You’ve created a business that supports your nervous system, not one that erodes it.
💬 Why they should know:
It reframes ambition for your audience. You’re not chasing scale — you’re modelling sustainable power.
💬 6. You’re not afraid to question the industry
You see how therapy, wellbeing, and social media culture often create performance, not transformation. You quietly rebel against that — through nuance, transparency, and refusing to overpromise.
💬 Why they should know:
You attract deep thinkers and sceptics. They need to see that you’re not “another therapist” — you’re a system challenger who’s grounded, not cynical.
💫 7. You’re still learning, unlearning, and healing
Even as a seasoned practitioner, you’re still navigating your own edges — the hunger for chocolate, the fear of rejection.
You don’t preach from the mountaintop — you walk alongside.
💬 Why they should know:
Because it gives them permission to be works-in-progress, too.
