PERSONAL TRANSFORMATION WITH NKECHI

  As the year comes to a close, many of us naturally drift into introspection. We pause, we look back, and we ask ourselves difficult but necessary questions.  This process of year-end reflection is not sentimental indulgence. It is strategic self-leadership. Retrospection allows us to extract meaning from experience, while introspection helps us realign with purpose. As this year winds down, I find myself reflecting deeply on a journey that began in uncertainty and unfolded into growth, leadership, and profound gratitude. Questions That Frame Year-End Reflection Before any honest introspection, questions must lead the way. 1-Where did I begin this year emotionally, mentally, and spiritually? 2-What internal shifts mattered more than visible achievements? 3-Which moments tested my values, and how did I respond? 4+What lessons will I carry forward into the new year? 5+Who have I become as a result of this year’s challenges?

What surfaced was simple and true. I am a woman committed to living a better life, growing through every season, evolving with intention, and bringing light to others. But most importantly, I am learning to be happy with myself—at every stage, in every version. Identity starts with that kind of honest se...

My life. Three years ago, my life looked fine on the surface. I was functioning, working, showing up, meeting expectations. Yet inside, I felt restless. There was a quiet heaviness I could not ignore, a sense that I was living from effort instead of ease. I carried old emotions I had normalised for years. I did not call it trauma then. I only knew something within me needed attention. That was when I stumbled on Marisa Peer, a foremost and globally renowned hypnotherapist. It was not during a crisis. It was one of those moments when curiosity opens a door and life changes direction. I encountered her work online, pressed play on one video, and something clicked. Her language around the mind, childhood conditioning, and gratitude felt grounded, intelligent, and practical. No theatrics. Just truth delivered with calm authority. I stayed. What followed was a deep immersion. I gorged on podcasts and videos. I listened repeatedly, sometimes to the same message until it sank bene...
