I wish more people knew how much ONE insecurity - not feeling good enough - can affect so much of their life, causing them to overextend, push themselves to exhaustion and be forever chasing approval.

Some of the most outwardly productive, high-achieving women often don’t feel good enough and this feeling of inferiority running in the background keeps them trapped on the hamster wheel leading to so much burnout.

If any of this resonated, please reach out for support. And follow along for therapeutic tips on overwhelm, burnout, insecurities and more!

I know what it feels like to be stuck, to see nothing but obstacles in your way and to feel very alone on the healing path trying to navigate it all.

Curiosity + compassion are your superpowers - fight to hang onto them and they will help you in countless ways on the road to getting unstuck.

While fear and overwhelm narrow your thinking, CURIOSITY expands it. Even small acts of curiosity like asking questions can create momentum.

COMPASSION is treating yourself with the same understanding and care that you would give to a friend or small child. It stops the self-criticism and helps you move out of that space of pain.

Try bringing in more of these and I promise your life will change for the better!

Healing is not just about what you DO - it’s about the STATE you’re in while you’re doing it.

Sometimes you can be doing the right things but if you’re under a lot of chronic stress, the healing is not fully received in the body.

For instance, pushing yourself and “trying harder” - which is driven by a lot of pressure, urgency and fear - often backfires, keeping the body in a protective state where all its energy is going towards that instead of repair.

It doesn’t mean that what you’re doing is bad or there’s anything wrong with you. Healing is complex and highly nuanced and this is where we have to get curious about what’s going on internally for you.

What thoughts are often coming up? What phrases do you find yourself saying on a regular basis internally or out loud?

When we work together 1:1, we’re able to help pinpoint exactly where you’re getting stuck in your healing journey and help you through it.

You may not always have control over the stress in your life but you CAN control your state through the use of many therapeutic tools including breathing (the air you are able to take in impacts your thinking and all your systems), somatic work, inner child work (parts of us can get stuck at certain developmental stages), etc.

Remember that your body heals more in a state of safety rather than pressure - if you’d like more help with this, send me a DM!

Behind every pattern you want to change is a belief.

These beliefs, which are often formed early in life, can sound like:

“My worth depends on what I do”

“Rest has to be earned”

“If I don’t do things perfectly, I won’t get love or approval”

“I can’t trust myself”

Beliefs are behind your patterns - and if you’re feeling stuck in overwhelm, stress, burnout, self-doubt, people-pleasing and more, there’s some hidden beliefs that are likely pushing you to overextend, overachieve, overcommit, overthink and more.

If you want to change a pattern, it’s critical to heal the beliefs behind it.

Did you know the idea of going to therapy was once considered by society to be pretty weird?

This comes up sometimes when working with clients. The moment we label something as “weird,” we place it outside the circle of things worth considering. It becomes something to laugh at, dismiss or avoid. But what if by doing so, you’re closing the door on ideas or practices that could genuinely help you?

“Weird” doesn’t have to mean bad or wrong or ineffective. It just means unfamiliar.

Many ideas and practices throughout history were once considered weird that are now beneficial and commonplace simply because people eventually moved past the label and gave them a chance!

Instead of automatically labeling something “weird,” try being curious and compassionate to yourself by asking some good questions about it:

Why do some people find this helpful?
What problem is it trying to solve?
Is there any evidence it works?
Would it be worth trying at least once?

Here’s to embracing more “weird!”

What’s one thing you thought was totally weird that you now feel differently about and maybe even love?
