Unshakable Confidence: Helping High-Achieving Women... ·

2025/07/14

Send us a text Do you beat yourself up when you fall short—like you should’ve known better or done more? That’s your inner critic trying to protect you. However, self-criticism doesn’t make you better. It puts your nervous system into stress mode and shuts down your ability to think clearly, lead effectively, or grow sustainably. You don’t need to shame your inner critic to quiet it. You can acknowledge it, appreciate it, and gently invite your wise adult to take the lead. DM me “CRITIC” if ...

Send us a text Do you ever snap at someone you love—or completely shut down—and wonder, What’s wrong with me? Here’s the truth: There’s nothing wrong with you. That’s your protector part showing up. It’s your nervous system trying to keep you safe the way it learned a long time ago. These parts—like the people-pleaser, the overachiever, or the avoider—once protected you. But today? They’re keeping you stuck in old stress patterns and robbing you of peace, joy, and connection. You have the po...

2025/07/07

Send us a text Are you pushing people to perform—or pulling them into their potential? Most leaders were taught to lead by pressure: Demand more. Set the bar. Get frustrated when others fall short. That may get short-term results—but it drains energy and destroys trust. ✅ Push leadership activates fear and burnout ✅ Pull leadership inspires through presence, trust, and emotional safety When you lead from a regulated, grounded state—people feel it.

Personality tests like MBTI can be helpful snapshots, but they’re not the full story.

Send us a text Think your glass of wine, Netflix binge, or late-night scroll is helping you unwind? It might be making things worse. We often reach for comfort when we're stressed—but many common habits are actually numbing, not regulating. ✅ Unhealthy coping disconnects you from your body and buries unprocessed emotions ✅ It disrupts your stress cycle and builds dependency on external relief If you don’t feel it, you can’t heal it.
