A Twist on My Type A Tendencies

Career, Happiness, Relationships

Sometimes old ways aren't always the best way! Learning to look at life from a different point of view.

SOAK IT UP BUTTERCUP! ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Unlearning this pattern of over-giving and people pleasing is HARD work in a world that encourages you to do more and give more in order to be *worthy.*⁠⁠
⁠⁠
The reality though is that people pleasing, and over-giving is a direct path to losing yourself, to disconnecting from your life. It breeds resentment, anxiety, insecurity, constant hustle, confusion and never enoughness. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
My heart knows that there's more to you than that, more to your life than that. Can you see it? ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
If there's any part of you that knows that this way of living doesn't TRULY feel good for you, how can you following that knowing with a small practice today, this week? With yourself? With others? ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Practice showing up for YOU. Watch how your world, your relationships, the collective benefits from you showing up as your FULL light. I dare you. ;) ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
If this sounds like your stuck point, your edge, your place of frustration, I invite you step in and move through it with support. The doors to Foundations of You Coaching Program are open. This program will guide you in connecting back to YOU, and learning how to navigate all of the emotional ups and downs of living more and more in your truth with confidence and peace. You CAN do this. Link in bio to learn more and enroll. See you in there, love! ⁠⁠

FULL STOP - How often do you de-prioritize the com

FULL STOP - How often do you de-prioritize the commitments you make to yourself? 🙈⁠⁠
⁠⁠
I know you know what I'm talking about. ⁠⁠
...The time you tell yourself you'll REALLY start meditating but then you just can't seem to keep those 10 minutes for yourself. ⁠⁠
... The spot on your calendar you have booked out to do something you love but then you fill it with laundry, chores or maybe a little extra work because you *should* always be the most "productive," right?⁠⁠
... When you tell yourself you're going to actually say no to booking up your entire calendar for the weekend because your body is screaming for rest and space - but then that friend calls and asks you to do something, you can't possibly say no. Or can you??⁠⁠
⁠
⁠⁠
When you get in the habit of breaking commitments to yourself over and over again, your sense of self starts to suffer. Your body and brain learn not to trust you. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
In my FREE WORKSHOP, 4 Steps to Develop More Self Confidence and Self Trust, we dive into cultivating more time to genuinely spend with yourself to strengthen that self trust muscle. I'll show you how to start valuing and prioritizing YOU in a way that helps you build that juicy good self trust and self confidence from the inside. ⁠⁠

In a world that tells you to do more, go faster, d

In a world that tells you to do more, go faster, dive deeper ALL the time, enjoying what IS and where you are, is a rebellious act. ⁠
⁠
Do you ever notice that sometimes we can use arbitrary rules as a whip to crack ourselves with? ⁠
⁠
"I have to have kids by the time I'm 30."⁠
"I need to be over this break up within 3 months or less."⁠
"I should be making 6 figures by age X."⁠
"I have to have this new habit figured out within 21 days." ⁠
"Having the 5 year plan is essential."⁠
⁠
This is your invitation to be a REBEL. When life feels good, enjoy it! When you experience something positive, SAVOR it. There is no rush - except the rush that's made up by the whip of time. You get to enjoy the here and now. ⁠(P.S. this is something I work on consciously, on the reg, to this day.)⁠
⁠
Ready to learn how to be more comfortable and confident in who you are, and where you are right now? Ready to move at your own pace, enjoying your experience along the way rather than forcing or pushing? I'm here for it! Journey with me in my new coaching program Foundations of You where we start by doing the HOW of this internal shifting, getting to know yourself and be kinder to yourself WHILE also moving towards your light. DM me 'FOY' for more info!

About to roll into our next Foundations of You cal

About to roll into our next Foundations of You call tonight. Mmmm, I love it. ✨I'm spending a few moments really savoring and celebrating those along this journey because of this hard truth --- Letting yourself outgrow things isn't always easy. And yet, it can still be right for you. ⁠
⁠
Growth, healing and change is hard sometimes, isn't it? We have to grapple with what feels worse, remaining the same and staying in patterns or situations that aren't working or taking the risk to look at what's not working and grow through the pain of potential uncertainty, risking trying new things, letting yourself become a whole new version of you. ⁠
⁠
It's powerful. It's potent. It's a journey full of ALL the emotions - but in my experience, it is DANG worth it because it's the path to a meaningful and fulfilling life... ⁠
⁠
You ready to join in and feel more connected to your true self? Foundations of You is on rolling enrollment, which means you can join us & get started today, and go at your own pace. It's so incredible watching the growth moments already taking place. I want that for you, too. Do you? Send me a DM to learn more about this beautiful coaching program I've created to share with you!

NEWSFLASH: How you talk to yourself makes a big difference. ⁠
⁠
In Foundations of You, each week there's an offering for you (like the statement above) to LEARN how to speak to yourself with a little bit more compassion and patience. Sometimes shifting that inner dialogue sounds great in theory but when it comes to actually living from the belief or finding the words, it just doesn't click. ⁠
⁠
Listen, I'm all for powerful AF affirmations - AND I get that sometimes they just feel totally untrue and SO far away from your reality, which then leads to them feeling like weightless words that don't mean much to you. This likely won't warrant the growth you're seeking. Find ways of talking to yourself that are more supportive and helpful but also believable and workable is really the key. ⁠
⁠
...In comes the workable, fill in YOUR blank statement offerings. One of the big focuses in Foundations of You coaching program is taking what you learn inside the trainings and the support containers, and starting to practice it in your real life to see the change you want. ⁠
⁠
So, start today! If you find that you often degrade yourself, negate or feel guilty for having needs, limitations, preferences, play with the above statement today. Tag a friend who might also benefit from working on strengthening their worthiness muscle. 😉⁠
⁠
And if you're ready for WAY more of this, to totally shift how you navigate your emotional health and approach to life, this is your loving invitation to join me in Foundations of You today --> link in bio to enroll.

Foundations of You Coaching Program is an approach

Foundations of You Coaching Program is an approachable, sustainable support for transforming your mental health and deepening your relationship within.

How often do you find yourself thinking things like…
Shouldn’t I just have it figured out by now?
Shouldn’t my life feel better?
Shouldn’t I be able to stop the anxiety, the self doubt, the overwhelm, the people pleasing?
Why can’t I just do it all and be happy already?
What is wrong with me?

Oh our silly human brains SO badly want to be approved of, to be deemed “worthy,” to fit in, to succeed. And hey, I get it. You may not have anticipated that your mental health would be impacted all that much as you get older and further into the “real world” yet here you are, riddled with confusion and exhaustion.

What if a few months, okay maybe even weeks from now, you found yourself feeling things like :
“I didn’t even ask for anyone’s opinion. I’m becoming more independent and confident in myself.”
“I decided to give myself rest and compassion and ended the day on a good note.”
“I’m continuing to do my practices that I’ve learned and they really help me feel better in general. I’ve been feeling calm and relaxed all week.”
“I’m making the right decision for me to support ME. I feel fulfilled and joy.”

Throughout this program, I’ve seen clients leave jobs that are sucking them dry, learn to speak up for themselves, prioritize taking care of themselves, understand how to deal with their emotions - even when life feels hard, start setting epic, loving boundaries, get clear on who they are & what they actually want, start new relationships, heal from old relationships, and overall describe feeling waaaay more capable, content and empowered!

You get to go at your own pace.
You get to do it in your own way.
You get to be supported and held as you figure out what that really means for you.
You get some loving nudges, accountability and space as you journey.

This is available to YOU. Don’t spend years stuck in anxiety, self doubt and overwhelm, ok? You don’t have to live there. It’s time to build the foundations of YOU so that you can live your best life. Tap the link in bio to join today!
