Emotional pain gets a bad rap; but at least pain actually moves you. Confusion paralyses you and keeps you stuck. 😳 PAIN HAS A JOB. CONFUSION JUST SITS THERE LIKE A USELESS EX. Pain is clear, loud, uncomfortable. When something hurts enough, you do something about it. You leave, you speak up, you change. Pain forces action. 🏃♀️ But confusion sucks and keeps you in limbo, saying things to yourself like… “Maybe I’m overreacting…” “Maybe it’ll get better…” “Maybe…
Last week inside Project Self Worth, we talked about masculinity; healthy vs toxic self-proclaimed “alphas”. 🙄 The difference between the chest-beating, podcast-y, “submit to me, woman” fuckwits and the men that feel safe, grounded, solid. 👌🏻 The kind that doesn’t need to dominate to feel like a man. After watching the circus on Louis Theroux’s recent doco The Manosphere, it would be very easy to believe those toxic voices represent men as a whole. They don’t; they’re just louder.…
Recently I’ve been chatting to a few clients about situations they’re in where they feel stuck in the “in-between”. 🥺 Limbo presents its own kind of challenges; it’s not about hitting rock bottom, it’s not chaotic, it’s not a blow-up moment where you’re forced into making a change.

Energy rubs off. Mindsets rub off. Standards rub off; do you really want to lower your standards or raise them? 🤔 So if you spend most…
At least once or twice a week I pull clients or friends up about the language they’re using out loud, as well as what they continually tell themselves. I’m not talking about swearing here, I swear like a trooper! 🤭 I’m talking about those times where you’re focusing on a situation that you’re unsure about; you want it to go a certain way but at the same time you’re putting contradictory messages out to the universe with your language.…
Last week we kicked off our very first of 12 live group coaching calls for my Project Self Worth members. These calls are always so special for me, and I come away feeling like I’ve had a giant group hug – I honestly feel like I get a big dump of oxytocin and dopamine (feel good hormones) after running these calls. 🥰 The biggest reason for this is the sense of community and connection these calls provide.
