WHAT STORIES ARE YOU TELLING YOURSELF THAT HOLD YOU BACK?
In 2017, my life did a MAJOR 180 as I found myself in the middle of an unexpected and very messy divorce. During this time, I began studying the subconscious mind to help process the enormous amount of anxiety and trauma I was experiencing daily.
As I healed and shared my journey on social media, I was AMAZED at how people responded. Women saw me doing “the thing” – messy as it was – and wanted me to help them do it, too. The problem? I didn’t yet have the confidence to say, “You know what, I AM doing the work and healing. I DO get what it takes. I CAN show women how to do this. I HAVE unbelievable results from this work. I AM WORTHY to share the gift of healing.”
Your subconscious mind plays a pivotal role in your freedom (however YOU define it – business success, feeling of peace each day, more time to do what you love, etc…). In business, your subconscious stories are why you follow your intuition and move forward even when things feel uncertain or connect easily with amazing clients. Those stories can also be why we stay stuck in our “comfort zone” and always seem to have clients who make us wonder why we started a business in the first place.
When our subconscious stories aren’t healed, they keep us from reaching that freedom we so badly want! Things like:
- Imposter syndrome (OMG, they’ll find out I have no idea what I’m doing.)
- Worthiness (I can’t take money for this – I’m not an expert.)
- Flight response (OMG, no one is reaching out! It’s time for this “failure” to curl up and cry on the couch with a pint of Haagen Dazs)
I spent YEARS working through these things because I KNEW, after trying so many different tactics, that life and business wouldn’t feel good until I fixed the core. Subconscious stories ARE THAT CORE. When I tell you that I spent nearly $100k trying almost every healing technique for trauma and anxiety out there, I’m not exaggerating. I even have the receipts to prove it because that’s how vital I knew it was to reach my version of freedom.
The journey was long and ongoing (healing never truly has an endpoint), but almost seven years later, I can genuinely say that I feel fantastic most days. I have experienced everything from emotional abuse to devastating rejection and even the grief of becoming a suicide survivor after my brother took his life in 2020. I know what works, what doesn’t, and exactly how to heal all the mind gunk that can keep our freedom just out of our grasp.
If you’re ready to find your version of freedom – I’m your girl. This is my area of expertise because I’ve lived and navigated it.
Part of my 1:1 coaching program is pinpointing what freedom means to you and uncovering what stories we must heal, rewrite, and take action on to get you there.
You may have started a business to have more flexibility with your schedule and more time with your family, except now you’re working 24/7. There’s a REASON subconsciously that this is happening, and we’ll figure it out and help you rewrite the story.
Maybe you’ve struggled with getting revenue consistently and are freaking out each month, wondering how long you can keep doing this and if you are even “good enough” to do this in the first place? Yep, that’s another story we need to pinpoint and rewrite.
Maybe your business is going great, but you’re having trouble enjoying anything because you feel empty, sad, depressed, burnt out, and exhausted. You guessed it – another story keeps you from embracing the happiness you deserve.
Together, we’ll unpack why you’re stuck, and then I’ll give you the tools to transform your internal conversation and drive you forward. It’s essential not just to understand our inner stories but to have the tools to rewrite AND deeply believe them.
Why is this different from other self-help you may have tried? I’ve been part of many healing programs that taught me WHY I felt certain things, HOW to identify my blocks, and even gave me tools for healing. It was a great starting place, but the issue was that I kept ending up right back in the same place – sad, anxious, and fearful.
I tried so many modalities (breathwork, journaling, emotion therapy, hypnosis, reiki, behavioral therapy, tapping, and SO MANY MORE), and I began to feel like I was just broken. That I would have to consign myself to a life of anxiety and fear.
Here’s the thing, you can KNOW something isn’t true but still believe it is. For example, I KNEW I wasn’t “less than” becoming a single parent; however, I struggled to feel this way. That means, deep in the crevices of my subconscious mind, I believed that being married is better than being single (FYI, this isn’t an uncommon subconscious belief for women).
Again, logically, I KNEW this wasn’t true, but my feelings didn’t always match what I knew to be true. The bottom line is that we can’t talk our bodies into believing something. When a belief is held deep in our mind, it will take more than a few affirmations and journaling to rewire.
I don’t believe I’m the only one with mismatched beliefs. I KNOW continuing to work on rewiring these is key to my freedom, so I will keep plugging forward and help others do it by talking about what works and what doesn’t work while sharing an honest account of the journey along the way.
Rewriting stories and healing has been the journey of a lifetime. I began to feel genuinely better – not just when things were going super well in life but an overall peace that made life feel good again. That healing has seeped its magic into EVERY crack of my life – business and personal life. It has become the foundation of my freedom.
When you’re ready and have the right guide, I promise that work will shift your body and mind to propel you exactly where you want to be.
