They Laughed At And Bullied Me Every Day - Until I Did One Thing That
Changed Everything
They laughed at me every day — not because I was weak, but because I was different. For years, I believed their words. Until one day, I made a choice… a choice to stop living by their opinions and start living by my purpose. That one decision didn’t just change how others saw me — it changed how I saw myself.
Unshakeable™ Takeaways:
-
Pain Can Be a Portal to Purpose
What breaks you can also build you — if you let it. Every wound carries wisdom, and every setback can reveal your true calling when you choose growth over grief. -
Self-Worth Is an Inside Job
Confidence doesn’t come from applause or approval — it comes from knowing who you are and standing tall in that truth, even when others don’t understand it. -
Transform the Story, Transform the Future
When you rewrite your pain into power, you don’t just change your own life — you become a beacon for others still trapped in theirs. Your courage gives others permission to rise.
Unshakeable™ Mindset: Unloading Your Backpack (Gunny Sack)
Students, educators, and emerging leaders are invited to unpack the emotional and mental “backpacks” they carry. Through stories and interaction, Dr. Lycka reveals how others’ opinions and our own limiting beliefs weigh us down—and how to release them with intention.
Your invisible “gunny sack” holds others’ doubts, judgments, and expectations. It’s time to dump the load, keep what empowers you, and refill it with purpose and belief in yourself.
Unshakeable™ Takeaways:
-
Unload Unwanted Beliefs: Recognize which doubts and pressures aren’t yours—and let them go.
-
Choose Empowering Influences: Surround yourself with voices and ideas that lift you higher.
-
Take Consistent Action: Real change happens through small, courageous daily steps.
