Phew! Now that we’ve formally met, let’s get on to the real deal. I’m not much for surface level stuff, so let’s dive in!
We just have this one and precious life. But it’s easy to forget when we’re drowning in piles of work/laundry/carpool lines/bills/health issues/fill in your challenges here.
I spent so much of my life thinking that if I could just control everything, and if I could be perfect, that then I’d be ok and everyone around me would be ok.
Spoiler alert! It didn’t work and also I was miserable. Even though I had what looked so perfect. A career, a beautiful family, award-winning books available globally and blurbed by Nobel Prize Winners, performances at Carnegie Hall!
But I realized one day that I didn’t know who I was or what I even liked. I was completely overstimulated, overwhelmed, and felt like I couldn’t see myself anymore.
And instead of staying quiet about it, which is what we’re all socialized to do, I started talking about it. Not in a dumping-all-my-problems-on-people sort of way, but a brave-honesty-in-the-right-situation kind of way.
Lo and behold: I wasn’t alone. And neither are you.
You aren’t the only one too stressed out to actually enjoy your life. You aren’t the only one who is longing for more. You aren’t the only one who walks with a heart full of grief and pretends you’re ok. You aren’t the only one using perfectionism as a shield.
You are not alone.
So now that we know that we’re in this together, what are we going to do about it?
I don’t have all the answers, but I do have a gift for empowering people with straightforward tools that help them trust themselves, remember their brilliance, unleash their creativity, and live life on purpose.
You’ve come to the right place. Whether you’re a writer who can’t bring themselves to write, a mother who wants to parent with more joy, a creative who is missing their art, a sensitive soul who is overwhelmed by the world, a human who has lost their spark, or any combination of those things, or none of those things, I’m here for you.
