I found this picture of me when I was 4 in front of my grandparents’ house. My grandma took it.

You may wonder: What has this to do with going for the career and life of your dreams?

It has EVERYTHING to do with it. 

In the past 10 years, I’ve been doing a lot of inner work to heal my childhood wounds and change the limiting beliefs I had about myself since childhood that impacted my life as an adult.

I used to think that there was something wrong with me.
I was not pretty enough.
I was not fun enough.
I was not [fill in the blank] enough.

Thanks to all the inner work, I now know that these beliefs were FALSE.

I’m PERFECT exactly as I am.
There is nothing wrong with me.

There has never been.

NEVER.

…except in my own mind.

When I see this adorable little girl, I can LOVE her exactly as she was.
and send her the love that I could not give her then.

I see PERFECTION in her.
I see BEAUTY in her.
INSIDE and OUT.

I know she has nothing to prove to anyone.

She never had.

What about you?

Are you able to love your younger self and see the perfection in them?

or

Are you still holding negative beliefs about yourself?
That you are not enough or broken in some ways?

Are these negative beliefs unconsciously driving you to PROVE that you are enough?
to make choices in your career and your life to PROVE your enoughness?

If so, this may be why you are stuck in work you hate or not having the work and life you want.

I see it in a lot of my clients.
The deep-seated belief that they are not enough.
and the need to prove that they are enough.

As a result, they make choices or behave in a way to PROVE their enoughness.

• The unconscious false beliefs they took on as a child is still driving their work and life as adults.
• They wonder why they are stuck in a vicious cycle and can’t be happy in their work.

Through the process I do with them, I help them reconnect with their true authentic self, their innate brilliance within. They start realizing there is nothing wrong with them, nothing to change about who they are.

…and things start to shift.

What beliefs are you holding about YOU?

Comment below and share with me. I’m here to support you.

To your brilliance,
To the work and life that reflect that brilliance,

….and that I’ve seen in so many of my clients, especially when they seem really stuck.

Well, I can tell you what it is NOT.
It is NOT:
– a lack of clarity (even if people think it is, and at a superficial level it feels that way)
– a lack of skills or talents
– a lack of job or career options out there

Nope, none of that.

Surprising, eh?
Here is what it is:

Some negative beliefs about themselves they took on as a result of painful life experiences (or conditioning) and the story they made around it:

• “I’m not worthy”
• “I’m too wild”
• “I’m not lovable”
• “I’m not as smart as my brother”
• “I’m not smart”
• “I’m weird”
• “I’m too bossy”
• “I’m too much”
• “I’m not creative”
• I’m not good enough”
• ….and the list goes on and on.

I’ve seen that in SO MANY of my clients that I cannot ignore it. Many times, there is a point in the process we get there, and it’s when the real breakthrough happens.

Because this is the REAL BLOCK.
It is our perception of who we are that affects what we think we can do.

Let me say that again:

It is our perception of who we are that affects what we think we can do.

Let it sink in.
When we clear that, everything changes. And suddenly, my clients realize that clarity was not the problem. They KNEW ALL ALONG what they truly wanted.
It is the shadow of their old wound that made it blurry for them to see what they truly wanted.
When it’s cleared, they are ready to: Give themselves permission to be who they are and love what they love.

From that place, EVERYTHING becomes possible.

So, here are my question for you:

Deep down, do you hold negative beliefs about yourself? If so, what are they?

Be really honest with yourself. This is an uncomfortable place, but this is a necessary place to explore if you want to create the career and life you truly want.

I know. I’ve been there myself.

And this is why I’m ready to go there with you. This is in the shadow that you will find your light. Sometimes, there is no other way.

But the journey is SO worth it. This is where lasting change happens. I guarantee it. I’ve seen it so many times now.

Are you ready?

I’m ready to go there with you!

Feel free to comment below and share. I am here cheering you on.

I believe in you.

P.S. To your brilliant light that is waiting to soar.
