After 20+ years of proving yourself, that inner voice is still running the show.

"Did I say the right thing?"
"Do they think I'm competent?"
"Why did I freeze in that meeting?"

Meanwhile, less qualified men walk in and own the room.

Here's the uncomfortable truth:

You're not lacking confidence. You're operating with a nervous system trained to doubt yourself while theirs was trained to trust themselves.

The result? High-functioning anxiety running on a loop. Overthinking every interaction. Overdelivering and people pleasing to compensate. Burning out while they coast.

And the worst part? Your relationships are paying the price - at work and at home.

This masterclass addresses what therapy and coaching miss:

✅ How to dismantle the inner critic at its root (not manage it - end it)
✅ The communication framework that gets you heard the first time
✅ Why you over-please and overdeliver (and how to stop without guilt)
✅ How to calm anxiety so you can access your actual intelligence under pressure
✅ The relationship repair strategies that work when you've been running on empty

This is the system 3,000+ senior women used when everything else failed.

Not motivation. Strategy.

✨ Do you ever feel like you’re not truly heard?⁠
⁠
Like you’re constantly giving, keeping the peace, holding everything together—but deep down, you feel unseen, unheard, and maybe even unworthy?⁠
⁠
Maybe you’ve learned to push your needs aside. To stay small so you don’t rock the boat. To carry the weight of anxiety, self-doubt, or strained relationships—without ever letting anyone see how much it’s really affecting you.⁠
⁠
If this feels familiar, I want you to know: You are not alone.⁠
⁠
For years, I lived with those same struggles—until I found a way to break free. I rewrote the patterns that kept me stuck. I reclaimed my confidence and my voice. And now, I help women like you do the same.⁠
⁠
I’m sharing my story here: https://heyzine.com/flip-book/689542e4cc.html
⁠
Because sometimes, hearing someone else’s journey reminds us that change is possible; that we don’t have to stay trapped in the same cycle. That we, too, are worthy of feeling empowered, heard, and enough—exactly as we are.⁠
⁠
If my story resonates with you, I’d love to hear from you. Do get in touch and let's talk - because your voice deserves to be heard and you deserve to feel good about yourself too 💛 ⁠

You've spent years holding it all together — the career, the family, the responsibilities.

You're the one everyone leans on.
Reliable. Capable. Calm.

But inside, it's a different story.

💭 The overthinking never stops
💭 You second-guess yourself even when you know the answer
💭 You're exhausted — yet somehow can't rest
💭 And you feel invisible, even surrounded by people who love you

This isn't you "being weak." This is what happens when you've spent decades putting everyone else first.

You've learned to survive this way — but you weren't meant to just survive. You were meant to thrive.

My free Self-Esteem Quiz (just 2 minutes) will help you:
✅ Discover which of 4 hidden self-esteem patterns has been quietly running the show
✅ Uncover the specific beliefs keeping you small, despite all you've achieved
✅ Identify the unmet emotional needs behind your overwhelm
✅ Take your very first step toward calm confidence and inner peace

This is your moment of clarity — gentle, safe, and free of judgment.
You've spent years caring for everyone else.
Now it's time to care for you.

👉 Take the quiz now and let me show you what's really possible when you start believing in yourself again.

Your Empowered Reminder 💖

It’s Wobble Wednesday in my private community.

I want to extend a heartfelt reminder to you to stay present with the positive ripple effect of investing in your wellbeing - no matter how small.

It might be investing with time for yourself, or with reaching out to me for support, or maybe paying attention to your self-care.

Whatever way you create space for yourself… know that the potential to impact others and their experience of you as a result - is huge.

Take a pause for yourself with this moment to create awareness and reflect.

With my Lisa-love x

“I can’t afford it.” – Evelyn’s Story

I worked with Evelyn, a successful HR manager who quietly lived with anxiety and deep exhaustion. She said, “I can’t afford this right now,” but underneath, she was really afraid to bet on herself.

Evelyn doubted whether she was worth the investment. Her self-worth had been eroded by years of over giving and feeling invisible at home and in the workplace. It wasn’t about the money; it was about trusting herself to follow through.

We explored what staying stuck was truly costing her: strained relationships, shallow sleep, and that heavy feeling in her chest every morning.

When she chose to invest in herself, she reclaimed her voice and emotional balance. Today, she says, “I was hesitant to spend the money, but now I see it wasn’t a cost... it was the beginning of finding and accepting myself.”

My latest article published today in Brainz Magazine 💖

If you're secretly feeling stuck and not feeling good about yourself - this is for you. Grab a cuppa and read it. Send me a private DM and let me know how it lands x

For many successful women, confidence in their careers hides a quieter struggle, the fear of trusting too easily or not at all. They long for real support yet hesitate to reach for it, convinced that...

“I don’t need to be perfect, I just need to be real.”

Perfection looks shiny on the outside… and feels heavy on the inside. It keeps you second-guessing, polishing, postponing - and quietly chips away at self-esteem. When you believe your worth depends on flawless output, every small mistake feels like proof you’re not enough. That pressure builds, fuels overthinking, and leaves you exhausted.

Here’s the truth: perfectionism often grows from low self-esteem… and then it keeps it alive.
It also makes other people uneasy; when we chase “perfect,” those around us can feel their own humanity isn’t welcome. No wonder real connection gets harder.

A gentler way:
🌹Choose being human over being flawless: “perfectly imperfect” is where trust and ease live.
🌹Share the messy middle: your realness gives others permission to exhale.
🌹Remember: done is better than perfect because done builds confidence, clarity, and momentum.

If this lands, come join me for my next masterclass on 28 October:

"Empowered & Unstoppable" - Quiet the overthinking, speak with clarity, and feel steady under pressure.

We’ll unhook perfectionism from your self-worth and give you simple tools you can use the same day.

You don’t need to be perfect to change your life. You just need to be real - and take the next step. 💚

The masterclass sparked something. This workshop will ignite it 🔥

Last month, I watched some amazing women have lightbulb moments during my 90-minute confidence masterclass.

The feedback has been incredible - women implementing strategies, shifting their self-talk, and making brave decisions they'd been putting off for months.

But here's what I know: real transformation doesn't happen in 90 minutes.
It happens when you give yourself time, space, and expert guidance to go deeper.

That's why I'm opening up 10 spots for a one-day intensive workshop on Sunday, 16th November.

What we'll work on together (12noon–5pm via Zoom):

→ Dismantling the self-doubt that keeps you playing small
→ Recognising the quiet strengths you've been overlooking
→ Building unshakeable trust in yourself and your decisions

This isn't passive learning. It's 5 hours of intimate, interactive work in a group small enough that you'll get personalised attention.

Investment: £197 (September rate—standard £297) + VAT
Spaces: 10 women maximum
Format: Live, online, transformational

If you're tired of knowing what to do but not doing it...
If you're ready to stop second-guessing yourself...
If you want to finally back yourself the way others already back you...

This is for you.
Register here: https://community.empoweredmomentum.com/one-day-workshop

Spots are filling. Don't let doubt make this decision for you.
