Your Anti-Diet, Mean Girl Transformation Coach

Many of us go through life unaware of the value of our past experiences. We tend to overlook or underestimate our qualities and characteristics that create value, fulfillment and purpose. This sense of inadequacy, self doubt and insecurity is fueled by the Mean Girl voice in our head.

We believe we have gaps or deficiencies that something or somebody else can fill. This leads to the false concept that goes like this, IF “fill in the blank” THEN “fill the blank.” Such as the belief, If My Ass Were Smaller Life Would be Perfect.

Constantly searching and hoping for something to fulfill us leaves us feeling defeated. Gradually, this constant search becomes our routine. and we continue to feel Inadequate, always searching for that “something” that will fix our self-concept.

Even when we do achieve success or find one of those “IF’s”, we tend to downplay it. We file it away with all the other aspects of our lives that we take for granted or underestimate. It's as though we pack up and hide our self-belief while keeping self-doubt within easy reach as we hunt for something to build our self-belief. Reality is, it’s already within us.

Let’s imagine an alternative scenario. What if we reverse this pattern, unpack our self-belief and keep it close and accessible. And instead we bury our self-doubt, tucking it away in a dark corner where it can't easily influence us.

Instead of carrying around thoughts of self-doubt and apprehension, while searching for fulfillment what if we carried our self-belief with us?

We'd approach opportunities with a strong awareness of our accomplishments, skills, and positive attributes replacing inaccurate feelings of inadequacy and insecurity. Finally we’d experience genuine self acceptance and free us from the perpetual quest for external fulfillment.

Why I Became a Coach

My journey as a life coach began in my childhood. I didn’t know at the time, but eventually discovered the inner critic I call Mean Girl. She fills our heads with negative thoughts and convinces us we're not good enough. I know firsthand how debilitating she can be and how early she enters our lives.

As long as I can remember, I’ve hated school. I didn’t even know what hooky meant, but I played it for the first time when I was I just 6 years old. Had the NCAA recognized hooky as a collegiate sport I surely would have been awarded a scholarship. I played it very well throughout the years.

I hated school because I thought I was stupid. Unfortunately not a single teacher from kindergarten through graduation ever challenged my self-image. They treated me like it was true and I carried that thought with me in to my adult life.

It was because of my own experience I was drawn to the other side of the educational system and I became a special educator. My goal was very clear. Nobody was going to feel as miserable in school as I did as a child. And I wanted to be the one teacher who’d help children, like me, realize their negative self-concepts weren’t true. Eventually I stepped away from public education when priorities shifted and the focus became standardized test scores.

Now, in my role as a coach, my mission is to help women who grew up, much like I did, feeling like they were inadequate, not enough and choose avoidance as an option. If that’s you, I’m here to guide you in discovering Mean Girl is wrong and your negative self-concept is inaccurate. I’ll help you break free from self-doubt and limiting beliefs while you recognize your genuine worth and full potential.

Reach out and let’s get started on your transformational journey today. Your future self will thank you!

Meet Romeo

Why do I mention Romeo? Romeo, like all dogs, with their constant love and support serves as an example of what we’re aiming for as we work to shift the negative voice of the Mean Girl in our head.

Romeo is a reminder to love unconditionally, live in the present, forgive ourselves, listen without judgment, and communicate without words. By embracing these lessons from Romeo, and other dogs, we can replace the harsh self-criticism with a more compassionate and understanding relationship with ourselves.

Let's learn to treat ourselves with the same kindness and gentleness that they offer and try to see in ourselves what are dog so clearly sees.
