Meet Petra
Imagine telling a shy, highly anxious 6-year-old from a small town in England that one day, she would be speaking on big stages about the power of belief. They wouldnā€™t believe you. Yet, thatā€™s my story...
From those rocky beginnings, I went on to have a wonderful career spanning over three decades as a fitness athlete. This journey took me all over the world and landed me on VHS tapes, television shows, and even the back of a Special K cereal box.
Throughout my career, people often told me how inspired they felt working out with meā€”whether in a class, at a convention, or through a VHS tape. For a long time, I couldnā€™t understand why.
Then, I discovered the world of positive psychology. It clicked: I had been creating spaces where people believed in themselves, even before they truly did.
This revelation led me back to school to study positive psychology. Now, after decades of understanding the power of movement, Iā€™m equally passionate about the power of our thoughts and beliefs.
Belief inspires action, courage, curiosity, connection, and more. By reframing my past and strengthening my belief in my future, I was able to redesign how my life unfolded.
At 54, I became a best-selling author. At 56, I learned to DJ and rocked the dance floor of 500-plus VIPs. At 58, I traveled the globe solo for 10 months, and at 59, I entered the corporate world for the first time as VP of Mindset and Personal Development at a well-known fitness company. And Iā€™m just getting started...
If a shy 6-year-old from a small town can make this big leap, so can everyone in your audience.
