I spent years in meetings, boardrooms and presentations silently wondering if I was enough. Do I know enough? Did I prepare enough?
In this state, I was constantly seeking validation from outside of myself. Hoping that someone would recognise how brilliant and capable I was - and make everything ok.
Sure, this recognition happened on rare occasions. And I'm deeply grateful.
But when you feel not enough, the majority of the time the people who show up in your life are critical and judgemental. And it just proves how "not enough" you are.
When we outsource our validation, we give away our power.
And the critical, judgemental people will keep showing up until you do something about the inner belief you hold about yourself. That's simple energy mechanics.
Everything changed when I began to look inward and accept that I was the common denominator in everything I was experiencing in my life.
So I did the inner work. I sought help to shift my belief of "not enough" — which I discovered I had been carrying for decades.
It wasn't easy. It was confronting and uncomfortable. But at the same time, I felt my energy return. My body exhale. And my decisions become clearer.
The way I carried myself was different. I was calmer, less reactive, just… happier and lighter.
Things shifted outside of me too. The way people responded to me was different. It was like I gained a whole new perspective on life.
Finally, the version of me I always knew was there, emerged.
My power came back online.
And I could believe in the potential and possibilities of my future.
I had unstoppable belief in myself. My work elevated in leaps and bounds. I had the energy for creative projects outside of work. And my relationships deepened.
I learned that when you flip the script — and shift to self-responsibility — everything changes.
Most people can't stand having a mirror put up to them. So you have to summon all of your courage to take ownership. But when you do, the rewards are infinite.
Now, I am that mirror for sensitive leaders. Working with me is only for those ready to go forward with self-honesty and a commitment to being the best version of themselves.
If you know you're over-functioning to prove you're enough. Step into my world, so you can reclaim yours. I've got you.
