You’re tired of:

- Overthinking
- Feeling overwhelmed
- A heightened sense of worry
- Your mental energy being depleted
- Thinking about the worst case scenario
- Being critical of yourself
- All-or-nothing thinking
- Feeling like an imposter
- Worrying about disappointing others
- Avoiding things that make you anxious
- Comparing yourself to others
- Unsubstantiated fear
- Procrastinating
- Being unable to set boundaries
- Having difficulty identifying or communicating what you need
- Feeling like you “should” be doing certain things, even if you don’t want to
- Neglecting self-care

You have a simmering undercurrent of anxiety, and your entire life feels like a list of obligations. You feel weighed down, overwhelmed, and stressed.

You’re pathologically helpful and a self-proclaimed people pleaser, so you find yourself gritting your teeth to make it through the day……but you paste a smile on your face and fake it.

From the outside you’re successful, high-achieving, respected, and known for going above and beyond, but internally, you know your truth.

You’re overly self-critical, procrastinate often, script conversations in your head, and worry about everyone else’s expectations of you.

What if you could feel confident saying no to things that don’t serve you? What if you could learn how to put yourself first without feeling selfish? What if you could live a more balanced, intentional, and fulfilling life?

Let me help you get clarity on what you’re feeling, why, and how to fix it. We all have “blind spots” that hold us back in some way, and it takes an outside perspective to help identify these.

Even if you think…

- you’ll let others down
- you’re not as smart or capable as your colleagues
- you need to have a clear plan
- mediocrity is unacceptable
- you have to maintain this facade in order to be successful

I will show you how to shift your thoughts and behavior in ways that will pave a clear path to joy and confidence. There is no greater investment in life than discovering your full potential, and that comes through insight and self-awareness.
