Stories from Vishen Lakhiani’s students

I was good at making other people feel seen, and even better at staying on the sidelines as a cheerleader. I told myself it was about the work, but it was really a visibility wound.

I could help others become visible while staying invisible myself. That paradox defined my career.

I have stories I want to share, and other women I want to inspire to live from their Values and Purpose, not someone else's goals... After this life-changing program, I'm ready to own what I know to be true about my message... I'm ready to step out as Julie Roy, Speaker, not simply Alpaca Julie any more.

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 was in debt when I enrolled the Mastery Program. But I invested anyway, I decided to give myself a gift for my birthday which is this Program... I was able to negotiate my debts (got them down to 65%, 40% and 35%) that accumulated from my divorce 6 years ago... My beliefs and perspectives in my life changed tremendously.

I've moved from informing to genuinely transforming audiences. People now quote my lines back to me, and my speaking, leadership, content, and family conversations all flow from the same aligned, authentic voice.

Speaking is a skill, not a talent. You're not born with it, you build it through practice, just like anything else... People don't remember information, they remember how you made them feel. Authentic, emotional storytelling is what lands and lasts... my husband and I have both the confidence and the craft, and we see speaking for what it truly is: the most underestimated skill in life and business, something we believe every person should learn as young as possible, because it opens doors in every direction.

While lying in that hospital bed and hovering between worlds, my life began to unspool like a reel of stories... I now understand more fully that storytelling isn't just a skill. It is a lifeline, a responsibility, a way to remind myself that I am still here.

My confidence became a skill. My ideas became organized. And my voice became something I could finally stand behind with certainty, consistency, and trust... In the past two weeks alone, I flew to Africa to speak at a business retreat and delivered a 6-hour Makeup & Mindset Masterclass that evolved into a licensable, category-creating transformation methodology. That NEVER would have happened at this level without the identity shift this program activated in me.

I survived bankruptcy at 34. I rebuilt my life. And that story can save someone else's life... AI Mastery + Speaking Mastery changed the direction of my life. It gave me clarity, conviction, and an unstoppable sense of purpose... For the first time in my life, I could see a self-sustaining model that will outlive me. A model that will create entrepreneurs who uplift their families and the 2-3 people who work with them.

I joined Speaking and Influence Mastery because I didn't just want to speak better. I wanted to: Share my life mission through story, not just information. Communicate on small and large stages without relying on PowerPoint. Turn stage nerves into fuel instead of something to fear... I no longer treat it as a performance to survive, but as a service: a way to transmit courage, clarity, and possibility.

I couldn't confidently sell or influence, even when what I was offering genuinely helped people... Eric showed me how to capture the stories of my life, map them, and tell them naturally without memorising a single line. That alone dissolved a 25-year block... I can sell, influence, and communicate at the level my work deserves.
