I help women overcome self-doubt and unlock their full potential to create a life they deserve.
As a busy mom of 6, working full-time and managing a bustling household, everyone always assumed I must’ve had my sh*t together. Nothing could have been further from the truth. The reality is I was riddled with self-doubt, second-guessed every decision I made and struggled accepting even basic compliments because I did not believe in myself.
It wasn’t until I was asked to do something that shook me out of my shell that things finally started to shift for me. Summiting Mt. Kilimanjaro at age 42 was both the hardest and best thing I’d ever done for myself. It taught me that we need to do the things that we think we cannot do, the things that seem impossible, because THAT is where true growth happens.
After conquering what seemed like an “impossible” goal, I felt inspired and empowered to conquer all of my daily doubts: comparison, judgment, fear of what others will think of me… The decision to climb MY mountain of insecurities set me on the path to becoming the best version of myself and it changed all aspects of my life and my family’s life.
Self-respect forms the foundation for how we treat ourselves and dictates the boundaries we set with others, impacting our overall well-being. If we don’t show respect to ourselves, how can we expect it from others?
Self-acceptance allows us to embrace the totality of who we are, including our strengths and accomplishments and our weaknesses and shortcomings, leading us to understand that failures are simply stepping stones to success.
Self-worth is the internal sense of your own value as a person, regardless of external validations or accomplishments. When we have strong self-worth, we feel more confident, make healthier choices, and build more positive relationships.
Self-love is the practice of appreciating and valuing yourself, which involves treating yourself with kindness and understanding, and prioritizing your own well-being and happiness. When we love the woman in the mirror we can navigate life with confidence and resilience.
In this supportive space, hosted by my daughter and I, every woman is encouraged to rise above her fears and love the woman in the mirror.
