How often do you say to yourself: “This isn’t supposed to be happening!” I used to say it whenever an obstacle happened in my life. What kind of obstacle: An employee leaving for a new job. My kids leaving a trail of socks throughout the house. My child with an injury. My lack of cooking […]
Self-doubt is a door slammer. Before Sheri (name has been changed) began working with me, she was the queen of indulgent mental drama. But on the outside she didn’t look like someone who was full of self-doubt. She had the fancy IVY League diplomas from both undergrad and grad school. She the letters at the […]
We all love Brené Brown’s message (well, except for a few people like my husband). When she speaks about vulnerability, it sounds amazing. However, to actually live it is another thing. It really kind of sucks. It’s uncomfortable. It’s messy. It takes time. It takes courage. It isn’t easy. And we often do it wrong […]
You don’t pursue what you really want because you’re afraid you’ll be disappointed. Disappointed in the outcome … but more importantly disappointed in yourself. This creates a downward spiral inside of you. You’ll create limiting stories about you + what’s possible for you: It’s not possible for me. See … people really don’t like me. […]
You want to change your life. You want to like yourself. You want to work on your personal development. BUT … you don’t have enough time! Let’s get to the root cause of not enough time. “I don’t have enough time” is a limiting belief. Because you don’t believe you matter there will never be […]
This isn’t a proud moment right now. But it’s my turn to own my story and love myself in this moment as I share it with you. The objections in my head say Don’t do it! Stop! You know better than to do this now so don’t bother sharing your wrong ways. No one will […]
Culturally, we’ve been programmed that in order to be worthy you must be: Perfect. Beautiful. Smart. Successful. Kind to others before you are kind to yourself. This does not leave any space to make mistakes, to fall down, and to have bad hair days. We’ve been set up to forever be hustling for our worthiness. […]
What is confidence? The belief in yourself + your ability to succeed/accomplish something. Now, what gets in your way and stops you from having confidence in yourself? The standard answer that my clients give me is they don’t have the evidence to be able to believe in themselves. Or they have plenty of evidence of […]
My friend … we all have flaws. We can all: Be difficult. Be too much. Do things that those who love us … don’t really like. For instance … my husband is the love of my life …. and those tea bags he leaves in all the mugs everywhere … Frankly, I don’t like this […]
Do you have that friend who is so nice and sweet? She uses loving words. She tells you how amazing you are. She calls you beautiful + amazing. Her words feel so good to you. You are drawn to her because you love how she sees you and, heck, it’s good for your ego. BUT […]
