How to Soar Beyond Fear and Self-Doubt

How to Soar Beyond Fear and Self-Doubt

Today I’m speaking to the brave woman within you...

You are visible to me. You are the accomplished woman who soars but yet still likely feels held captive by fear, insecurity, and the constant pressure to measure up?... Even with the brave face you may wear to the outside world every day, those emotional scars can at times, perhaps feel like too much to bear. I understand.

?

There is a way out - and I can tell you because I have experienced it. I wasn't always the self-assured woman writing this for you today. My path to becoming an award-winning psychotherapist and executive mentor for accomplished women is actually a tale of trauma, fear, and perseverance. The truth is, I struggled with inner turmoil for years, just like you.

?

I learned how to set myself free, and I'm here to help you to follow in my footsteps. That's the difference between then and now.

To celebrate the imminent launch of my book ‘Anxious to Empowered’

Today’s newsletter celebrates the launch of my latest (fourth) book ‘Anxious to Empowered’ and my timely nomination as a finalist for ‘Author of the Year’ announced recently by Women’s Business Awards.

?

So I’m wondering if my vulnerability and candour here might inspire you to take action to heal so that you may start to thrive in your life today too?

I was on edge yet too afraid to jump...

I struggled with anxiety from a young age. I was bullied at school. Growing up with layers of different kinds of abuse at home left me feeling helpless and afraid. I had digestive problems. I was under-weight, with severe acne and colds sores – so relentless that bullies called me "Cornflake"... It pushed me to the brink – quite literally.

?

However, life has a way of offering us turning points, and mine came at a university taster weekend. A psychology lecturer helped me realise that the nervous convulsions I was living with, did not define me nor determine my value.


I suffered traumatising flashbacks, hallucinations and agoraphobic panic attacks...

True healing didn't occur until years later, after I became a mother. I spiralled into an emotional breakdown with traumatising flashbacks, hallucinations and agoraphobic panic attacks. With the right help - a special blend of psychodynamic psychotherapy and advanced hypnotherapy - I began to understand what really works in healing buried trauma and its wounding impact - and what doesn't.?Since that time, I have dedicated my life to empowering women like you to overcome your emotional scars to claim the life you deserve, with inner peace.


Why I do what I do

?

I recognise the deep sense of powerlessness and self-doubt that wounding brings, as well as the toll it can have on your relationships, professional success, and your overall self-worth - because I have experienced this for myself. If this snapshot of my story speaks to you, and you’re maybe curious to know more about me and my journey, I’m sharing it with you exclusively today; through a series of personal and powerful moments, captured in pictures that speak louder than words.
