Chapter 2. The Journey to my own life - mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually - Kristine Overby
KRISTINE OVERBY is a Life Strategist & Speaker at Kristine International, Chairman for Aurskog Chamber of Commerce and Director of the International Concept "You Got Promoted"
From innocent and trustful to stained and fearful
My journey began with a modeling career at the age of 14. I was discovered by an American modeling agency located in LA and received a 3-year contract, where my first trip was to New York to compete in an international model and talent competition. I made a strong impression and won two of my classes. Very proud, yet overwhelmed and not fully aware of what I had just experienced, I went home to Norway. It was at this time I got to know the "Jante Law " for the first time. An unwritten culture, where society / individuals negatively portray and criticize success and personal achievement under " You must not think that you are something".
The thing about “Jante law” is that no one should brag about themselves, because if you do, it means that you think that you are better than anyone else, and you will be labeled as an egocentric person. And the way some people express this, is to send you ugly gazes, avoid praising you, talk about you behind your back, make comments that are meant to hurt and to get you back down to earth.
This is an ingrained unconscious mindset, that even people who initially wanted the best for me, advised me to keep a low profile or else I would be very unpopular and lose friends and that, would eventually hurt me. I remember my teacher at school was so proud of what I had achieved that she asked me if I could give a presentation about everything I experienced for the class the next day after I came back from New York. I was very happy for her support and praise, and really looked forward to it. At that point standing in front of the class and sharing this, I remember I felt so good and proud, like I had grown enormously in a short period of time. It was shortly after this I noticed changes in my circle of friends, where some distanced themselves from me, the jealousy became clearer and I was not invited to certain gatherings as part of the circle anymore.
Luckily I had my family around me who were in New York with me and experienced the other "world" I just had discovered and been exposed to, which was very important for the time to come.
The business world would prove to be hard, cynical and brutal for me as a young girl. From the rush to get the proper body measurements, to season rejections because my hip
