You’re a great coach. But every time you try to sell… something shifts.
Your voice gets shaky.
You rush through the offer.
You lower the price before they even ask.
You’re not alone.
That’s because you’ve dropped into your Social Self—
The part of you that wants to be liked, approved of, validated.
But you’re not there to be liked.
You’re there to lead.
Stay in the frame. Stay in service. Stay in the coaching seat.
Want to sell without squirming?

DM me “Coach” and I’ll send the link.

You smile. You help. You stay agreeable. But inside? You’re exhausted.
Your friend asks for a quick favor. And without thinking, you say yes.
Even though you’re tired.
Even though you don’t want to.
You say yes—because you always do.
Because part of you still fears what happens if you say no.
That’s not just people-pleasing.
It’s your False Self:
The version of you that learned being helpful = being loved.
But here’s the thing…
The False Self might protect you—but it also binds you.
You get praised for being easy.
But inside? You feel invisible.
You don’t need to keep sacrificing yourself to keep the peace.
There’s a truer version of you beneath the performance.
And she’s allowed to have needs, take up space, and say no.
If this hits, share it with a friend who also needs to hear this.

Your colleague quit her job to follow her dream but you can’t even say yours out loud.
So instead of moving closer to what you want—
you secretly tell yourself, “I should be thankful for the life I have."
Here’s what I want you to know:
Comparison doesn’t always look like jealousy.
Sometimes it looks like silence.
Silence about the big ideas you’d love to launch.
Silence about the book you want to write.
Silence about the ways you’ve outgrown the life you’re in.
But here’s the truth:
Your dream exists for a reason.
And the moment you say it out loud—
you start to build the life that matches it.
If this hits close to home…
Repost this so another woman knows
she’s not alone.

Picture this:
You’re giving an update.
The room’s quiet.
Heads nod…but something feels off.
Here’s what might be happening:
1. Sounding too polished.
Big words and fancy slides look professional—but people crave honesty over perfect speeches.
2. Dropping news like a bomb.
Saying, “Here’s the new plan,” without sharing how you got there leaves people feeling blindsided.
3. Hiding how you really feel.
Pretending everything’s fine, even when it’s not, makes people wonder what else you’re not saying.
People don’t follow perfect leaders.
They follow real ones.
Which of these have you ever slipped into?
