Episode 2 - Don’t give up on finding your purpose with Jacqui Bell
Jacqui Bell is a force to be reckoned with.
At just 25 she’s made history as the youngest person in the world to run Ultra Marathons on all seven continents.
These races are NOT for the faint hearted. We’re talking running for five to seven hours each day through deserts and snow while carrying all your food and equipment and dealing with crippling injuries.
Despite that inner steel, Jacqui’s warm, funny and determined, with a smile that belies the demons she’s had to conquer to go after her dreams.
In this incredible conversation, Jacqui gets raw and vulnerable about:
Her addiction battles and the moment she hit rock bottom - waking up in a Bali hospital with more than 200 stitches and 30 thousand dollars in medical fees.
What it took for her to turn her life around.
Finding your purpose.
How she learned to switch off other people’s opinions
Her number one confidence hack before she gets up and speaks on stage or takes on a new opportunity.
The red flag she now recognises while scrolling on social media and the boundaries she puts in place to protect her mental wellbeing.
What she’s learned from racing that separates people who quit from those who don’t.
Why you shouldn’t wait until things are perfect before you take a big leap.
And how she silences her inner critic and stops it from holding her back.
When I talk about courage being contagious… well… Jacqui has courage in spades. I know you’re going to walk away from this episode inspired to rise above whatever might have been holding you back in your own life.
Jacqui also has amazing sponsors who help her do everything she does: Alianz, Adrenaline, Lululemon, Jaybird, Brooks and FlightCentre.
So, let’s Claim our Confidence with Jacqui Bell.
