Person covered in sticky notes If you’ve spent years trying to improve yourself, to feel more confident, less anxious, more “together”, you might have absorbed the idea that something in you needs fixing. I used to believe that too. Many of the women I work with are competent, capable and thoughtful. On the surface, they are functioning well. But internally, there is a constant sense of evaluation. Am I doing enough? Am I too much? Did I say the wrong thing? Over time, that i

I recently watched the Victoria Beckham  documentary, and one moment at the end really struck me because it captures the heart of what I help people see in my work. In the final scene, David asks Victoria why she still feels she has something to prove, and he suggests that maybe she’s trying to prove to herself that she’s good enough. It’s such a powerful reflection of what so many of us do — chasing success, approval, or achievement in the hope that one day we’ll finally fee

Have you ever wondered why, no matter how much you achieve, there’s still a quiet voice inside saying you’re not quite good enough? I was reminded of this recently while watching the Victoria Beckham documentary . In the final scene, David asks Victoria why she’s still so driven, what she’s still trying to prove. Her response? She’s proving it to herself. That simple exchange was powerful. Because it reveals something we all experience in different ways: no amount of success,

We all have moments when we do something we don’t like — maybe we snap, defend ourselves, or act in a way that feels out of line with who we want to be. Then the shame hits. We promise ourselves that next time  we’ll be calmer, kinder, more in control… and yet the same pattern plays out again. In this week’s video, I respond to a listener’s question about this exact experience — a habitual reaction that feels impossible to stop and leaves her feeling embarrassed and ashamed.

In this short video, I explore a pattern I see so often—especially in those of us who are thoughtful, motivated, or on any kind of self-development path: the belief that being hard on ourselves is necessary for change. We’re often told (directly or indirectly) that pushing, striving, and self-criticism are what keep us on track—whether it’s with our health, career, relationships, or personal goals. But what if that pressure isn’t helping? I talk about: Why self-criticism feel

In this short video, I’m out in the field (literally!) with my dog Ash, sharing a few thoughts on procrastination—why we do it, what it means, and how to move through it. Whether you're putting off a difficult conversation, hesitating on a life change, or just stuck in that familiar cycle of "I'll deal with it later," this is a gentle encouragement for you. I talk about: Why our minds resist change (even when we want  it) How fear and hesitation are part of the process—not a

Video You Are Not Broken Somewhere along the way, many of us picked up the idea that we’re not enough. That we need fixing. That our worth is something to earn or prove. We live in a world obsessed with self-improvement—but what if the constant need to fix yourself is  the problem? In this short, powerful video, I use a simple example—my dog Ash—to remind us of what we’ve forgotten: your worth isn’t based on how you feel, what you’ve been through, or how well you’re doing at

Welcome to a fresh take on the New Year, New You concept. Unlike typical resolutions, this video challenges the myths around self-improvement at the year's end 🎉 As the year comes to a close, many of us start reflecting on the past year and planning for the next. Society and media bombard us with messages that we need to change and improve ourselves, and reach certain standards. But is that really necessary? 🤔 In this video, I'll help you see through the myths and pressures

In this video, I'm diving into an important topic for us all: What do I want? As the year draws to a close, it’s a perfect time to reflect on your past year and start contemplating the next.

Does it feel like everyone else feels confident and secure? And you are constantly not sure of yourself, don’t feel good enough or think you are worth the best that life has to offer? You may have been trying to feel good enough and secure within yourself by reading books, going on workshops, writing affirmations, journaling, meditating, tapping, clearing out limiting beliefs, clearing away blocks, or pursuing the ‘ideal’ life. But what if it’s much easier and simpler than al

If we often feel worried or anxious, and question our ability to cope when something challenging comes along, it can look like we need to protect ourselves from life and it's experiences.

When we experience a lot of insecure thoughts about ourselves, or have think we aren't good enough, we can believe this means we ARE insecure and need to fix ourselves.
