– Post divorce

I’ve been interested in self-discovery for a while, and have learned a lot about myself which has improved my life tremendously. The opportunity to continue that journey with a local Christchurch-based organisation, which my peers in the Financial Services industry have also engaged and raved about, was too good of an opportunity to pass up.

Over the last 5 years i’ve experienced a lot of turbulence in my life with Covid stopping me from seeing my family in Australia for a while, my marriage ending, becoming a single dad, all whilst running my own mortgage and insurance business. I experienced stress, loneliness, and anxiety during that time. Even though i’ve moved on from those emotions, more recently I felt like i’d plateaued, and whilst I was content with my life, i wasn’t feeling joy, and so i wanted to identify why i made the decisions i did so i could make better decisions which aligned with my real purpose in life.

Rico and the NeuroFit programme gave me a method to help me investigate and understand how my past directly affects my current decisions, beliefs, and behaviours. Being able to investigate my past in a non-judgmental and objective way helped me make incisive discoveries about why i am the way i am, think the way i do, and why i make certain decisions.

I’ve always prided myself on taking accountability and avoided “blaming my parents” or others for who and how i am, but Neurofit helped me understand that it’s ok to reflect on your past and the people who influenced you to see how your experiences and interactions with the people around me heavily influenced how i think and behave. Whilst i can’t change what happened or erase the memories, I can decide on the type of dynamic i want to have going forward with the people in my life.

Now, I’m able to pause and reflect before making a decision, because now i’m aware of the “autopilot” response, and I can take time to make better decisions which better align with the person, father and partner i want to be.  

I would strongly recommend Neurofit to anyone who thinks or feels like they’re not getting the best out of themselves, or are possibly unhappy with aspects of their lives, or want to be able to make better decisions.

– Imposter Syndrome, Overwhelm

Starting the Neurofit program was a turning point for me. As a young professional, I often felt overwhelmed by the complexities of my career path, battling imposter syndrome every step of the way. Rico and his program provided the guidance I needed to navigate through my doubts and uncertainties. Utilising the tools and techniques taught in the program, I confronted my fears and insecurities, gaining insights into the root causes of each of them. One of the most significant breakthroughs was realising my own worth and potential. Neurofit helped me embrace my strengths and talents, boosting my confidence and clarity and allowing me to realise that those high net worth individuals that I put on a pedestal were just people like me.

What sets Neurofit apart is its lasting impact. Even after completing the program, I still use the tools and strategies it provided to tackle challenges with confidence. I am able to see when something is affecting me in a negative way and almost look down from above to be able to tackle that emotion/response instead of letting it tackle me.

In short, Neurofit has changed my life by equipping me with the tools to overcome self-doubt and navigate my professional journey with assurance. I highly recommend it to anyone struggling with imposter syndrome or seeking personal transformation.

– Anxiety, panic attacks

At the start of this year, I experienced some intense anxiety and stress that ended up as a panic attack. I didn’t realise it at the time, but anxiety has been there as long as I can remember. I grew up as a gang kid in a broken home and had terrible relationships with others, which, as you can imagine, left its mark. However, the most obvious wins of breaking the cycle and doing well leading into adulthood hid a lot of underlying mess that was taking its toll. So when it finally reached its boiling point, I realised that I needed to face my past and really sort through it.

I sought the traditional route of counselling, which ended up giving me a plan for 44 sessions a year for 3 years. My heart dropped and I left feeling hopeless, disappointed, and angry. Thankfully, after telling all this to Rico, he laughed and said, “Bro, let’s go”, which just alleviated everything. I joined the NeuroFit Cohort program and over the 8 sessions, we did not play around. It felt like my life experience went from a hoarder’s garage to a neatly organised suitcase. The weight of it all became nothing. I actively forgave and consciously disagreed with people’s words, actions, and expectations that I had been carrying since a kid.

It wasn’t fluffy work. It took being vulnerable and real with myself. My circumstances haven’t gotten better, but now I’m so much more resilient. Every week, I slowly realise  that certain people and things are not affecting me like they did only months ago.

Couldn’t recommend this program enough to anybody.
