Women who built success while surviving…
People think sabotage is dramatic. Loud. Obvious.
But in women like us?
�Women who’ve already lived entire lives holding everyone together…�Women who built success while surviving…�
Women who know how to endure, rise, and smile through fire?
Sabotage looks subtle.
It’s Civilised. Intellectual. Spiritual even.
Survival shows up as:
Momentum breaks- that sudden pause at the exact moment you were about to rise, launch, share, sell, speak…�
• Message dilution- softening your truth because your system still thinks safety means being palatable.
�• Creeping doubt- the quiet voice questioning what you already know is yours and talking yourself out of what you really want.
�• Shrinking in relationships- dimming your fire so you don’t outgrow, outshine, or “destabilise” the people you love.�
• Selling your short in money conversations- discounting, hesitating, or explaining your worth instead of inhabiting it.
And I know this because…
�I lived it.
After leaving abuse with nothing but my little suitcase and a vow to never abandon myself again,
�I built a whole new life from scratch.
�But my body… oh my body… still ran survival programming LONG after my mind was ready to move.
It just played out in different ways, and I had NO IDEA!!!
I would feel the next chapter calling…
I went after it…
I took bold steps to make it happen…
�And in many ways it DID, BUT my body would pull the handbrake.
I’d have the idea.�
The message.�
The next-level client.�
The momentum…
And then… collapse.
�Overwhelm.�
Self-doubt.�
Shrinking.�
Silence.
�A thousand tiny ways of saying:
“It’s safer to stay here.”
So, I tweaked, changed, scrapped and started over and over again.
Every time, I told myself that THIS was the one that was going to change the game.
It’s not because I COULDN’T or I didn’t know how,
�I wasn’t unskilled, unclear, or unready.
�My body simply didn’t believe I was safe to expand.
When I finally stopped fighting my survival body and started listening to her…�
Honouring her…
�Partnering with her…
Everything changed.
My income rose.�
My relationship deepened.�
My message sharpened.�
My leadership stabilised.�
My pleasure woke up.�
My business became easier because I became safer.
Here’s the truth most coaches won’t say:
Your body leads your business. Not your plan.
If your default operating system doesn’t change, you’ll never feel safe to rise; �no amount of strategy will save you.
But when your body does feel safe?
Everything clicks into place like destiny.
When we rewire survival into sovereignty,
