i was labelled a painfully shy and dumb kid. now i’m building a public brand. (still fighting those labels? here’s how i’m rewriting my story at 40.) at 12, i already had my first psychiatrist and a growing list of labels: • speech impediment • learning disability • childhood trauma • depression • bulimia • anxiety • adhd • ocd in my 30s, my mom confessed: "we thought you might live with us forever.” (imagine how bad it must have been for her to think that?) for a long time, i let those labels define me and control my: • confidence • self-worth • actions • beliefs and story. the one i told myself and the one i told others. i’ve achieved a lot... • worked in the nba • played uni basketball • graduated with honours • co-founded 2 companies but i’ve deeply struggled as an entrepreneur and putting myself “out there.” so, when i faced (yet another) burnout last september, i knew i had no choice but to start understanding why. • i reflected on my life. • sought help from coaches. • and worked with ai to discover my actual story. all of which helped me find it... a deep and detrimental limiting belief: i’m not worthy or enough, just as i am. it’s been close to a year, and i’ve still got a lot of work to do. but now i see the formula that led to my newfound hope and confidence: 1: i discovered my real story 2: i began seeing my unique characteristics 3: i uncovered a personal brand that feels authentic and patiently, i’m leveraging that brand to get paid by helping people, just like you, do the same. good news? i can show you my exact steps tomorrow FREE workshop, august 15th, 2024 at 12pm est get paid more with a differentiated personal brand (that sells for you). (event link in comments) those labels, traumas, experiences of your past? they're real. they're valid. and deserve healing. but they're not the full story. and you're not the story you've been telling yourself. i hope you’ll join me tomorrow so i can prove it to you. p.s. check out this recent talk i did with Fuckup Nights Toronto to see how far that painfully shy and dumb kid has come. --- hey hey 👋🏻, i'm kristina, with a ‘k’ and i help high-performing women like you understand and share your story to build authentic personal brands that makes. you. money. dig this (and aren't afraid of queer people)? • follow Kristina Flynn • subscribe to my newsletter (link in bio) • attend my free workshop thursday august 15th, 2024 (link in comments)

Dude! Holy crap, this was a great clip of your story and (please don't hate me for saying this) made me literally LOL at some parts, especially about your tattoo placement because... guilty 😂 Also, isn't it nuts how you can bring another human into your world and realize oh, f*ck, I have ADHD too? Let's just add that to the list... I'm so glad you shared this with us, as it's a beautiful reminder that we all have our f ups in life and that creating a brand story around your own struggles is something nobody else can replicate.

Discovering your personal story is just such an incredible experience. Sometimes we're just too hard on ourselves to see how amazing we are and what we've accomplished.

All those things are what make you the dynamic person you are today. If it were all smooth sailing and success you’d be pretty boring—we all would be. Glad you’re giving yourself the love you deserve 👏
