What a Bad Meg Ryan Movie Can Teach You About Remorse

November 21, 2011

Confidence expert Jules Wyman wasn’t always confident. In fact, the woman recently dubbed as Britain’s Next Top Coach once hid her insecurities behind booze, drugs, and junk food. “I reached out for all of them to do the same thing, which was to cover up the pain.”

At the lowest point in her life, addicted to alcohol, entrenched in an abusive relationship, unclear as to which direction she wanted her life to go she realized that something had to give. “I didn’t really have one thunderbolt moment. I refer to it as having lots of little storms. Sometimes I didn’t realize I’d had the storm until I’d gone through them and come out the other side.”

Learn how she turned her life around.

Through her fabulous use of story, Jules explains:

  • Why curiosity is the antidote to blame and self-pity
  • How to chunk things down and take one step at a time
  • Why there are no mistakes
  • How to discover hidden passions
  • The secret to conquering fear
  • The unfortunate flip side to achieving
  • What a bad Meg Ryan film can teach you

We also talked about The Celestine Prophecy and the film Educating Rita and what they taught her about herself. ” To me it was like little life lines that were being thrown to me that kept me going in a certain direction, which was away from where I could have gone.”

Jules Wyman is the founder of Positive Belief, an inspirational speaker and coach, and director of The Confidence Garden. She says, “If the grass looks greener over there, maybe it’s because they take better care.” She is also a wife, stepmother, and Zumba fanatic.
