My story starts in 2014 when I was burnt out, but determined to climb the ladder, whatever the cost…
Driven By Impact, Fuelled by Heart
In 2014, I found myself at a crossroads. Working within a top international law firm & burnt out, I began to question why I was so determined to climb the ladder when it was costing me my personal life & well-being.
On the outside, I was the picture of success. I had achieved everything society expected of me by then, but internally, I was struggling with high-functioning anxiety, low self esteem & an insatiable need to prove myself through work & achievement.
The “Sunday Scaries” plagued me. Under intense pressure, I was constantly worried about making mistakes and felt like I didn’t quite fit in.
When I missed out on a promotion I had worked years for, my confidence hit rock bottom. Nerves at their peak, my physical health was crumbling… vomiting from High Functioning Anxiety in the work toilet, I was forced, for the first time to prioritize my well-being over my career.
...and so my Real Self development journey began!
MEET THE FOUNDER
Gemma Donnelly
Over the next 6 months I started to understand myself at a deeper level: getting to the root cause of my anxiety, pressure & insecurities. I changed jobs & most importantly, learned how to manage my mind & overcome fears and limitations. This journey re-established my confidence and rebalanced my nervous system, allowing me to excel personally and professionally.
At 25, I was promoted to build a legal department within a successful construction company, where 95% of the workforce were male. Despite feeling like an imposter at times, I used the strategies I had developed to retrain my mind & nervous system to flourish.
Life, however, has its ups and downs. My mum was diagnosed with cancer, and just 12 weeks later, she passed away. Huge grief led me to explore whether the mind-body strategies I used for professional success could also help me heal emotional pain & release the impact of trauma.
I began coaching with Veronica, a remarkable coach who helped me let go of grief & shame, taking my confidence & resilience to the next level. I later went on to discover breathwork which helped me let go of trapped physical emotion that weighed heavy & held me back.
Coaching & Breathwork transformed me. I am not perfect. But I have strategies and tools to embody the courage, confidence and resilience to live true to my authentic self & as a result, to live with more Ease, Joy & Fulfilment.
Knowing first hand the profound impact coaching & breathwork has, I retrained in the proven tools & techniques that worked for me, and the many men & women I have coached over the 6 years since.
