What if the person you’ve worked so hard to become isn’t actually who you want to be?

Think about it. The years you spent doing what you thought you were supposed to do: following the rules, achieving the goals, being the responsible one, the problem solver, the person everyone comes to.

Your daily life often consists of spending hours researching something before making a decision because you’re afraid of getting it wrong. And even after you’ve made the decision, you’re still questioning whether you made the right one.

There are times you want to speak up at work or in your relationship, but you hold back because you’re worried about how the other person will respond. Will they be upset? Will they reject you? Will they think differently of you?

Don’t get me wrong, you’ve done well for yourself. But something still feels like it’s missing.

And here’s where I come in: getting to the root of what’s missing and what’s keeping you in the overthinking loop or people pleasing behavior.

I’m an interactive therapist, meaning I’m engaged with my clients. Something I often explore with them is this: how much of the life you’re living is based on what you actually want versus what you’ve been taught you should want? 👀👀👀

Because one of the ways I understand perfectionism is trying to live up to other people’s expectations, sometimes for so long that you haven’t even stopped to question whether those expectations still serve you.

So we get curious about where those beliefs came from, how they’ve shaped the way you see yourself, and whether they’re still aligned with who you are today.

And when you begin to recognise that you have choices, there’s an opportunity to begin trusting yourself, speaking up, putting yourself first without guilt, and reconnecting with your authentic self.

If this speaks to you, I’d love to connect. Click below to schedule a free consultation.

Sometimes trusting yourself looks as simple as deciding when to get an oil change 😂

But this really isn’t about an oil change.

It’s about noticing how often we make decisions based on what we’re “supposed” to do instead of asking ourselves, what actually works for me?

When you’re used to overthinking, people pleasing, or trying to make the “right” decision, it can be hard to trust yourself. You can spend so much time in your head that you forget your body is giving you information too.

I’m learning more and more to pay attention to what feels peaceful, joyful and aligned for me, even when it’s not how I’m “supposed” to do it.

Sometimes the best decision is simply the one that works for you.

If you’re tired of second guessing yourself and want to become more confident in your decisions and trust yourself more, I’m currently accepting new therapy clients online throughout Georgia and in person in Dunwoody.

Stop blaming yourself for predatory behaviour.

You were human, you were kind, you were you, and unfortunately there are people out there who will see your vulnerabilities and take advantage of them.

This is not about becoming hard or not being vulnerable, it’s about recognising that someone else’s predatory behaviour is not yours to carry.

Send this to someone who needs to stop blaming themselves for what someone else did.

Fear of the unknown keeps a lot of people stuck.

And it makes sense because we often become fearful of the unknown based on past experiences that were unsafe.

But when you become stuck in the unknown, you tend to try to control outcomes and avoid situations, such as avoiding conflict, not trying new things, etc.

But what we miss when we are stuck in fear of the unknown is that:

“Every single moment of your life is unknown and you are equipped to manage the unknown more than you realise.”

However, I am not saying this lightly, as it takes time to understand that you are equipped.

Getting unstuck from the unknown starts with identifying the skills you have to manage the unknown of everyday life and then beginning to accept that the unknown is part of life and not something you can control.

If fear of the unknown is keeping you stuck and you want to get unstuck to experience freedom and ease, DM the word “CONSULTATION” for a free consultation for therapy in person in Atlanta or online in Georgia.

Fireside chats are my favourite form of speaking engagements.

Fireside chats are way more intimate and I get to get to answer the burning questions of the audience rather than assume what they need in this season with a keynote.

Whilst keynote presentations are still effective, there’s nothing like hearing the audience'srral time needs and answering their questions in a very personable and intimate way.

That is what's going to be happening this Thursday September 3rd, 6pm with the Sports Business Network.

At Buckhead hosted by @ Michael Cunningham and Rennie Curran . I am super excited for this event.

And you are invited, if you are business entrepreneurs, looking for a job, investor etc.. for an evening of Business, Vonnection and Wellness.

There will be former athletes and current athletes, expanding their business too
and just a great time of connection.

I hope to see you there. You can RSVP below. 👇☺️

Over the last month, have been two close deaths so I have been riding the waves of grief.

Emotions have been up and down, thought process has been slower, sleep is off and capacity has been lower. As well as being joyful, encouraging others being present and feeling a bit more connected to myself.

All things can be present during grief.

I am thankful my therapist fraught to embrace disenfranchised grief, specifically around things not happening as I thought they would.

Because it has allowed me to ride the wave of grief today and embrace grief rather than push it down.

Grief is a weird emotion and experience that the world does not talk about so it can often be hard to name.

So know this as I always say “Wherever there is change there is loss, whenever there is loss there is grief.

May these words and video give you comfort and peace during your grief.

Are you living as a good daughter, trying to do everything right? or as a loved daughter, resting in the truth that you’re already loved?

So many of us as daughters live asking, ‘am I doing enough?, questioning if every move you make is right or wrong and what will people think and if God is mad at me.

But a loved daughter starts from a different foundation. She knows she’s loved, and therefore knows she is enough that changes everything in terms of how she moves, thinks and observes herself and worth. She knows will mess up and still be loved and is good enough.

And this deep knowing allows her to move with authority, power and ease.

So what would change this week if you lived as a loved daughter?
