There’s a particular kind of frustration that comes with knowing that you want more from life, but feel like you’re the very person standing in your own way.

I know this because I’ve been there 😬

You look around and everyone else seems to be further ahead.

Getting married.
Having babies.
Changing careers.
Moving abroad.
Falling in love.

And you’re sitting there thinking, “when is it my turn?”

But here’s what I want you to consider.

What if you’re not waiting for your turn, you’re actually waiting for PERMISSION.

Permission to live the life YOU want.

Permission to change your mind.
Permission to do the thing.
Permission to disagree.
Permission to go somewhere.
Permission to actually put yourself first without feeling selfish for doing so.

But the only permission you need, is the permission from yourself.
To say YES to yourself.

The root of why it feels hard is exactly what we work through inside The Self-Led Woman.

My private, bespoke 12 week 1:1 coaching experience for women who are tired of second-guessing themselves, shrinking themselves to keep everyone else comfortable and feel like like is happening around them, rather than WITH them.

Together we work on what’s been keeping you from making the changes you want to make.

So you can finally start making decisions that YOU feel good about.
To go after things even when they scare you.
To stop looking outside yourself for reassurance.

And build a life that feels like YOURS, rather than one you’ve created to meet everyone else’s expectations.

This is powerful, life-changing work and I’m currently taking on TWO women to work with me 1:1 inside The Self-Led Woman.

If that’s you, and you wanna know more, DM me with SELF-LED and let’s chat 🩷🫶🏻

“I’ve been so anxious about this call all day, I don’t know if I’m doing the right thing..?”

Where the first things my client said at the beginning of our first session.

Her physiology said it all.
Tense, guarded and closed off.

By the end of the first session, she’d relaxed, her shoulders had dropped and her face appeared brighter.

From thinking the only way she was ever going to feel better about herself was losing weight, to fully accepting every single part of her by the end of 12 weeks working together
(absolutely none of it down to weight loss)

Because it was never about that.
It was about how she felt about herself INSIDE.

We worked deep with her subconscious.
The limiting beliefs.
Years of conditioning.
Childhood wounds.
The inner critic.

The base was uncovering the root, so we could release those to make way for a fresher, newer perspective.

One that was actually HERS.

Through many challenges set, she got to know herself on a level most level never do.

But it’s from this place she was able to trust herself, listen to her intuition, gain confidence through keeping promises to herself, speak to herself with compassion, stand up for herself and ultimately have more FUN!

Every week she amazed me with what she’d achieved.

Was it easy for her?
Far from it, but a path I KNOW she never regretted taking.

Since?

She’s been living her life.
Going for dinners.
Travelling.
Getting dressed up (not covering up)
Standing by her values.
Not letting other people speak down to her or take advantage.
Taking herself on solo dates.

Because it’s the small, every day things that make life worth living.

Transformation isn’t always ONE big, monumental breakthrough, it’s lots of tiny little actions that all lead to something greater.

You, finally feeling at home within yourself 🩷🫶🏻

Honestly? You’ll never feel 100% ready.

Most people think this is a bad thing, but here’s why it’s not..

Feeling some fear about expanding is a sign of EXCITEMENT from your SOUL.

It’s a signal that despite the fear, there’s a burning desire (however small that flicker might be) has ignited! 🔥

It’s giving you signals of what’s possible.

The real you, beneath:

The noise.
Other people’s opinions and expectations.
The limiting beliefs.
Your inner critic.

The version of you who KNOWS what she wants.
It’s HER you need to listen to, not your mind.

Your brain will ALWAYS try and convince you that change is a threat.

It’s not.
Its growth.
Its expansion.
And it GETS to be exciting 😍

Because let’s face it, if you’re currently unhappy in your life and within yourself, you have to ask yourself what’s worse..

Staying exactly where you are right now?
OR, feeling that fear and receiving support from someone who gets it, to get to where you want to be and how YOU want to feel? 👀💫

I told him that it’s time to stop waiting.

For the confidence.
The right time.
The money.
The right environment.
The career.
The partner.

Because there will ALWAYS be something that tries to stop us from making the changes we want in life, because our nervous system hates change.

It feels like a threat, so we make excuses, but the thing is, if you wait for all those things before taking the action, you’ll be waiting for the rest of your life.

I learnt this the hard way.

Now I know that those things come AFTER you take the action.
Sometimes you have to be the one to CREATE it.

Remember, nothing changes if nothing changes.

Want to transform your life?

DM me SELF-LED and I’ll show you how. 🩷

October 3rd!

There is no better time to decide than now.

You have that choice.

We often wait for the right time, the perfect moment, the approval, the right conditions, more confidence, more money, etccccc…

But the thing is, there’s always going to be something.
Because you’ll find it.

Making changes is hard.
But staying where you are is even harder when you continue to watch the life you want to live pass by you….

Let that one land 💕

And this wasn’t the only achievement! She has concurred SOOO much in the time we worked together (and continues to)

This is what self-trust looks like in real life.

Not becoming fearless.
Not suddenly having it all figured out.

Just trusting yourself enough to stop waiting for permission and start choosing the life YOU actually want (not someone else’s version of it)

This is the work I love doing with you the most.

Working on self-trust.
Confidence.
Boundaries.
The things that matter to YOU.
Being able to choose yourself, instead of consolidating 10 people first.

THAT is what becoming a Self-Led Woman looks like 🔥

If you know you’re ready to start living your OWN life, DM me SELF-LED and let’s have a chat 😏

It’s not a new month without a recap on the last.

September snapshots.

It’s definitely been a challenging one, but one I’ve got through with love and courage, grit and compassion.

Because they can co-exist.
And once you realise that, everything gets to change.

It doesn’t need to be one or the other, you get to experience both.

When life tests you, don’t fall victim, show it just what you’re capable of. 🔥

I spent YEARS think all I needed was more confidence, and that it would suddenly come, ‘one day’..

That eventually I’d feel ready enough, brave enough, certain enough to do all the things I actually wanted to do.

Turns out... absolute BS 🙃💩

I didn’t suddenly become fearless.
I didn’t stop overthinking.
And I definitely didn’t wake up one morning magically not caring what anyone thought.

But what I did do, was doing these 3 things differently:

1. I stopped thinking I could only go somewhere IF I had someone to go with..

If I wanted to go somewhere, experience something or do something, instead of waiting for someone, I just went anyway!

Some of the best experiences of my life have happened, when I took the plunge to go alone.

2. I stopped treating other people’s opinions like rules to live by.

Someone else not understanding my decision didn’t mean I was wrong.

3. I stopped waiting to feel 100% ready.

This was probably the biggest one, because I thought confidence would help me to say YES.

But choosing myself and saying yes is what built the confidence 🔥

Every time I did that, I collected another piece of evidence that I could trust myself.

That is what has built the confidence, which I’m still practising today.

Of course there are times I still overthink, doubt myself, or catch myself looking for reassurance.

But becoming self-led isn’t never experiencing those things again.
It’s noticing when you are and choosing not to let the opinions of others decide for you.

This is exactly why I created The Self-Led Woman.

For the woman who’s tired of knowing what she wants and then spending the next three days talking herself out of it.

Over 12 weeks, I’ll help you close the gap between knowing what you want and trusting yourself enough to actually do it.

So if you’ve been reading my posts lately thinking “this is me! 😳”

DM me SELF-LED and I’ll send you all the details you need and have a chat with you about how together we can help you become a Self-Led Woman! ❤️‍🔥

I’ve spent YEARS doing the inner work in so many different ways.

Therapy. Books. Podcasts. Journaling. Meditation. Breathwork. Training. EFT. Shadow work. Reiki (and more)

And all of that has been incredibly valuable.

But there came a point where I realised that knowing myself really well wasn’t the same as trusting myself and my decisions.

I could understand why I was scared to do something and still not do it.

I could know why I cared so much about somebody else’s opinion and still let it change my decision, or stop me all together.

I could journal a route to achieving a desire/goal, and then spend the next three days talking myself out of it, or making excuses for why I ‘couldn’t’.

Insight is great, but it’s nothing without action and the sitting with whatever the outcome might be.

⭐️ Like saying no and sitting with the guilt.
⭐️Going alone and discovering you CAN enjoy your own company.
⭐️Make a decision based on what YOU want, even if others don’t agree or understand.

And every single time you do, you give yourself another reason to believe:

I can trust me 🔥

That’s a huge part of the work I do inside The Self-Led Woman.

Figuring out who you are beneath the conditioning.
The rules you’ve placed on yourself.
The limiting beliefs you’ve adopted.
The opinions of others you’ve taken on as your own.
The identity of yourself you’ve created that isn’t you at all.

We take ALL OF THAT.

And alchemise it into your greatest strengths.

So that you can finally start living the life you’ve been dreaming of for years.

Because it’s not something you’ll reach in years to come when you’ve ’fully healed’ it’s available to you right NOW!

You just need to say yes to yourself, be willing to take action and make changes so you finally get to experience it.

DM me SELF-LED and I’ll show you how we can make this your reality in just 12 weeks!
