69. The power of perspective with Esther Althaus

In this episode, Esther Althaus, Managing Director of Perspective Financial Services, delves into how the labels and stereotypes we encounter during school can profoundly shape our view of the world.  Reflecting on her journey as a tomboy determined to outsmart the boys, she shares how these early challenges equipped her with resilience and determination that has served her well in life.  Esther emphasizes that the only true competitor is oneself and discusses the impact of societal expectations on body image, revealing how she overcame these pressures.  She shares how she learned about the hidden insecurities many of us face and how discovering love later in life taught her the importance of being honest with yourself and maintaining independence. This episode is a beautiful reminder to trust yourself, and that perspective is a choice.  On that note, I loved when Esther said to someone who commented on how good she looked, “Excuse me, I have always been hot, you just chose not to notice before.”  Now that’s what I call perspective!   What you’ll learn in this episode: How the labels we adopt shape and challenge our decisions. How growing up a tomboy helped her later in life.  The only competitor you have to worry about is yourself.  How can you feel your best even when you’re not looking your best?  The profound insights she learned about people’s insecurities from chat room conversations That true integrity comes when you’re honest with yourself  How critical we are of ourselves about things others don’t even notice. Our behavior and decisions are powerful role models for those around us. Trusting your instinct when you need to let something go. Perspective is the key ingredient when making decisions. **If you want some perspective on your financial situation, get in touch with Esther, mention ‘Courageous Me’ and enjoy an initial meeting at no cost to you (these sessions are usually charged). **    Get in touch with Esther: LinkedIn: Esther Althaus Website: Perspective Financial Services     **WANT TO GET YOUR COURAGE ON?** RETREAT!   Are you ready to take one bold step and kick off a wave of positive changes in your life?
