I've avoided so many opportunities in my life because I was afraid to step up and take a risk. My anxiety would not even let me try.
Anytime, I took a chance to show up big, and try to make a positive difference in the world, my brain would completely shut me down.
Then, I discovered there were other women struggling with the same things:
- Letting their boundaries be compromised
- Putting themselves last in order to make others happy
- Hiding their opinions and feelings
- Pretending things were "fine", when they weren't
- Wearing themselves out by overcommitting
- Settling for less because of self-doubt
When I realized it wasn't just me dealing with these things, I felt even more determined to learn how to overcome these obstacles so I could help other women do the same. It was never enough motivation to do it for just myself. I wanted others to let go of always trying to please others and to have freedom from anxiety and overwhelm.
Becoming a coach, has been my tallest hurdle, my biggest growth, and my greatest blessing. I love having a job helping people change the way they think about themselves, see their place in the world in new ways, and not let fear and anxiety stop them before they even start working on their dreams!
