85. From ‘I Can’t’ to ‘I Must’ to reach the impossible with Andrea Jenkins

In this episode, we hear from the incredible Andrea Jenkins, a remarkable financial planner and business owner whose journey is a testament to courage and transformation.  Once a shy introvert who hid to avoid being noticed, Andrea spent years believing she wasn’t the kind of person who could achieve big dreams, an idea shaped by an upbringing that never showed her what was possible. Andrea’s story is one of defying expectations, hers and others. Through sheer determination, she turned an “I can’t” into an “I must,” following her passion and moving past her fears. At 38, a bipolar II diagnosis flipped the script, helping her make sense of years of struggle and opening the door to a whole new belief in what she could achieve. She went on to build a successful financial planning business focused on empowering others with financial literacy, education, and strategies for achieving their goals. Andrea’s raw, honest, and inspiring journey proves that even if you’ve spent years hiding in your comfort zone, it’s never too late to dream big, work out what you want, and go after it.   What you’ll learn: How Andrea went from shy and introverted to confidently speaking in front of crowded rooms. What it takes to achieve something you once thought was out of reach. How to reframe “I’m not the kind of person who…” into believing you can. Why Andrea once trained herself not to want things and how she found the courage to dream big again. Why your forties can be the perfect time to care less about others’ opinions. How a bipolar II diagnosis became a turning point for managing her life and building confidence. How to overcome the limiting voice that says, “Things are easy and safe, don’t change.” Why stepping into something new is harder with age, but more important than ever.     Get in touch with Andrea Website: Jenbury Financial    Facebook: Jenbury Financial     LinkedIn: Andrea Jenkins       ** WANT TO BE A MORE CONFIDENT PUBLIC SPEAKER ** Courageous Speaking Masterclass WED 19 February 2025  |  Melbourne  |  9am – 2pm If you want to be a more confident public speaker and grow your business or make an impact, join us for the Courageous Speaking Masterclass  and get ready to step up and speak out!    Let’s connect: Website: Kim Payne    LinkedIn: kimpayne9rok Instagram: kimpayne_9rok   Facebook: KimPayne9Rok
