Caroline Bulmer Overcomes Public Speaking Fear and Embraces Authentic Self-Image

This Transformational Retreat with Jennifer has been phenomenal for me, and incredibly, transformational. It's opened me up to me a lot more. And I have been able to dump stuff that I was carrying around that wasn't mine to carry at all. I think, because I had layers and layers of other people's opinions of how I should be and who I should be and what I should be, which obviously never really felt or sat at ease with me. So I hid. I did a lot of hiding and playing small and certainly not speaking. Through the retreat and the incredible processes we did, I really feel I was able to shed those beliefs and those patterns and thought patterns which were not mine. So I feel like I have more strength in my spine, more weight to my feet on the ground. I sort of feel I've landed. And I feel that my authenticity flows. For me, being amongst, women was amazing. I loved it, and it was for seven days, and all I ever felt was loved and supported. We laughed, we cried, we grew, we all grew. You know, I really have a connection with these ladies. And they were all phenomenal. They really were. The vital bit for me was to offload things I was carrying that weren't me. And I also feel that even since leaving the retreat, that I've continued, the growth has continued. When I returned from the retreat and saw my husband, I definitely felt much more feminine. The difference, I felt was that I wanted and needed and deserved to be seen and respected as a woman. So it has definitely changed things. One thing I've noticed with my self image is that I had a pattern of self criticizing whenever I saw a part of my body be on the mirror or just looking at it, and I would criticize it. And now I notice I don't, which is a big change for me. I'm much more loving towards it and appreciative of it, which is massive. I would recommend the Transformational Retreat with Jennifer because it's unique, She's such an incredible facilitator, leader, I really felt supported, loved, seen, heard, even heard, even if I wasn't speaking. Each of the excursions were transformational for me. I guess the one that was the most transformational was the one that I had to play most full out, and that was the Temascal. There were different parts to it, but it was all so professional and honoring and safe to really let myself be very, very vulnerable. And so I did work that I knew I had to do, which was enormous. I was able to release so much stuff that I was carrying around that was not mine to carry. And there were some phenomenal processes we did that enabled that to happen. And the biggest thing that had held me back up until now was a huge fear of speaking I could speak one to one, but not publicly. And I did end up standing up with a microphone, which to me, was something I never thought I would actually achieve. The hotel was beautiful, the grounds were beautiful. The sea which we swam in was turquoise, turquoise blue and just stunning. But everything was done with such care and in such great taste and definitely with a sense I felt of love and giving and honoring.
