The Secret worked for me before I had even heard about it! I was working in administration for a construction company for 10 years. I had been sexually harassed and bullied for over a year by my employer. Not knowing what to do I put up with it until one day I had enough and plucked the courage to leave. I left to no job. I went to temp agencies but struggled to stay in jobs due to working with men! I couldn’t stay in a room with men. I was a total mess. My confidence was gone, I was experiencing panic attacks and sleepless nights thinking about going to work! It got so bad I had to leave. I was jobless! This got so bad I would go shopping at 3 am in the morning so I wouldn’t have to see or talk to anyone, not just men.

I eventually told my husband the real reason I left my job. He knew something was up but never expected what I told him. He advised me to fight it in court with them or let it go! I tried to let it go as I didn’t have the strength to fight back. It was hard as I was so negative and angry about everything and everyone. Every day was a nightmare, things were going from bad to worse each day. I had no friends, I crashed my car, I had no income, I was totally lost in life. I didn’t know where to turn or what to do.

Six months later I woke up not able to move my leg. It was badly swollen. I didn’t hurt it or do anything to it so I didn’t know what was going on. I went to my doctor who sent me for a scan. The scan showed a tumor on my right leg. I had it removed within the week, followed by treatment and physio.

I knew this had to be a turning point in my life. I had 3 young girls who needed me to be strong and healthy and I knew deep inside that my negative behavior was bringing all this to me. When I was back on my feet I joined a gym. It took me a while to start feeling comfortable about going.

Then one day I was so angry at myself for letting everything happen and not standing up for myself that I decided that was it!! No more!!! I decided right there and then that I was going to change. I decided I was going to get my health back and get strong, fit and healthy and I also decided that I was going to work for myself. I was going to be my own boss. I hadn’t a clue what I was going to do or where to even start but I didn’t let it stop me. I mentioned it to a few of my family that I was going to try to start my own business and they laughed at me. So I kept away and told them nothing.

Three months later I was feeling in a much better place mentally. I was starting to enjoy the gym, it was my little safe place. I was in a TRX class one day and I just said to myself that I want to do this! I am going to do this! I am going to help people!

So as soon as I got home I looked up colleges and enrolled that day, I told no one. I was a nervous wreck but I didn’t let any negative thoughts in. It was hard.

Fast forward 5 years and I am running my own, very successful fitness business and personal training studio. I am so confident in myself and what I do. I love it and I also love myself now and how mentally strong I have become.

I am new to The Secret, I had never heard of it until I got Netflix! After watching it I had goosebumps all over me. I cried for about an hour. I use The Secret every day. I share it with anyone who wants to hear about it. I love The Secret.

I am so grateful for Netflix for bringing it to me. I am also grateful for the journey I went through to get to where I am today.
