Ep. 38 How to Transform from a Survivor to Thriver and Know Your Worth with Guest Marika Wessels

In this episode, I have the pleasure of speaking with Marika Wessels. Marika Wessels is a CORE Survivor to Thriver Coach and the founder of Let's Go CORE.   Marika is sharing her story as a Survivor of sexual abuse and childhood trauma and how she needed to go CORE to be a survival guide to other women.   She struggled with not knowing her worth for a long time and always sought validation from others' opinions. Unfortunately, this led to people putting labels on her body, resulting in her not feeling good enough and her inability to look at herself in the mirror.   On her 30th birthday, she and her family moved to Australia. She decided it was time to leave the 16-year-old vulnerable version of her at the airport in South Africa.   Over the last three years, she discovered that it was time to relearn how to be authentic without people putting labels on her life.   So, she invested in herself, joined multiple Personal development online courses, and read many books to improve herself. Marika is also busy with her NLP and Hypnotherapy Course to improve her skills to work with these amazing Warrior Queens.   She now has the confidence to show up as her most Authentic Self, inspiring other Warrior Women worldwide to go CORE and become the best versions of themselves.  Marika truly believes that: "We all have the COURAGE to rediscover our authentic selves, OVERCOME the fear of not feeling good enough after abuse, take RESPONSIBILITY for setting healthy boundaries in our relationships, and ENJOY being confident in our skin."
