Imagine what life would be like if you stopped apologizing, stopped trying to fix everything for everyone and instead started putting yourself first. Would you be happier? Feel more like the person you're meant to be? Would you make different decisions that benefitted YOU? Or finally just get some sleep at night? I get it! When you're the one putting everyone else first, you feel run down, cranky and resentful. The idea of saying "NO" is terrifying but exciting. But hey - it's not our job to do a delicate dance to keep everyone happy. You are not selfish for putting yourself first.
Imagine living your life and not overthinking and analyzing everything you do. Waking up doing what YOU want to do (and really being clear on what that is) and not making decisions based off what you think others might want. Not obsessing over how you might seem to others if you said no or pushed back. Let’s talk about making that happen for you.
We’ll work together to figure out what you want and need, and how to prioritize yourself. We’ll dive into some past stuff that’s probably keeping you stuck. I help people become selfish, unapologetic and free. In the best way possible. I'm ready to do the work with you. Call, email or text me and let's get you scheduled for your first session.
