Stories from Eric Edmeades’s students

When I started this challenge April 5, 2021, I could barely walk. I had all over body pain, extreme low energy, lots of inflammation, neuropathy in my thigh, tachycardia like palpitations, and on a C-Pap machine to sleep... here I am, on July 3, 2021, 91 days after watching Eric's first video of the WildFit Challenge, full of gratitude for Eric, my coaches Michelle and Joanna, the Mindvalley Team and the WildFit Team... The WildFit Challenge was everything. It gave me my life back.

I believed my challenge was content creation. Mindvalley showed me the real challenge was connection-I wasn't equipped to capture interest, nurture trust, or begin the kind of meaningful relationship that leads someone to choose me for something as emotional and significant as an engagement ring... I'm beginning to feel that my next role, after the eventual sale of my company, may be guiding others through that same uncharted territory-teaching hope, teaching grace, teaching people how to meet their loved ones exactly where they are.

I didn't realize that as a diabetic, that my daily fruit bowls were draining all of my energy... I could barely take care of my 2-year-old grandson one day to chasing after him at the playground the next day... I used my weight as a shield in life. I was never comfortable in my skin nor moving my body. Today, I am floating and gliding in my skin and body at 62 years old.

I sleep deeper and better than I have in well over a decade. The niggling little aches and pains that come with life's journey have all but disappeared... My BEST gain is that I wake up each morning with a bouncy step and a song in my heart and soul.

I have FINALLY loosened the grip of my long-standing self-esteem issues that have caused me to prioritize anything and everything EXCEPT genuine self-care... I have proven that I CAN keep the promises that I make to myself. It's also the first time that I have completed a program feeling completely empowered to move forward under my own guidance.

A couple of months after that training, I got invited to speak on TEDx, and that talk got over 5 million views... I ended up starting my dream passion company around transformational festivals in India, and that company just from speaking events alone generates over $250,000 every year... for someone who grew up in a middle-class family in India, getting to that stage wasn't even a dream before I learned from Eric.

I felt awkward in my heavy body, big, lacking of energy and not in full control of my body... I only lost 6 kg after the 2 I had already lost in January. But I have never felt so good in my own body. I love my body the way it is now. It is not perfect but it is exactly how I like it!... I feel light and ready for new challenges. I feel young and full of energy. I feel attractive and really strong. I feel calm and happy!

I led a 4-hour global masterclass for students choosing 'Destination Germany' for their higher education and settlement. For the first time, I felt completely grounded - speaking not at a global audience, but speaking into their future. Eric teaches influence not as performance, but as a transfer of belief.

I did lose over 10 lbs. and 4 inches on my waist... The biggest OMG moment for me was when I realized that I had gone a month without a headache which I use to get a minimum of once a week.

I joined the Speaking & Influencing Mastery program with a deep fear of speaking-on stage, in groups, even in my own business. Today, after graduating, I feel like a completely different person... I've already spoken on stage twice-something I never imagined possible-and I loved every second of it.

I didn't have a good answer. So I stood up-and told the truth. The academic struggles. The military service. The hard chapters we don't bring to networking events. My voice shook. My hands trembled. But I didn't run... If your voice feels stuck inside you, you're not broken. You're just untrained. And you can build it.

Big ideas in my heart... and a voice that acted like it was on airplane mode... I walked in carrying weight. I walked out standing taller, ready to use my voice so other people can find theirs too.
