The most dangerous story is the one you don’t know you’re still telling.
You know the one.
It’s subtle.
It’s sneaky.
It’s shaped how you show up, how you speak, how you shrink.
It says:
“I have to be the strong one.”
“If I want too much, I’m ungrateful.”
“If I’m not perfect, I’m a problem.”
These stories don’t just live in your mind.
They live in your body.
They direct your choices.
They create a life that looks full—but doesn’t feel like yours.
Inside the BOLD AF Workshop, we interrupt that pattern.
And we start with what’s true.
You’ll uncover the stories you’ve inherited—about who you need to be, and what it costs to belong.
You’ll begin letting go of the roles and rules that no longer serve you.
And you’ll leave with a powerful tool—Gretchen’s ACT Method—to help you shift from default living to designed living.
In just one hour, you’ll feel the weight begin to lift.
You’re not broken.
You’re buried.
Let’s change that.
Join the BOLD AF Workshop — June 18 | 5pm PT

Let’s normalize outgrowing old versions of ourselves.
You’re allowed to evolve. You’re allowed to want different things now. You’re allowed to shift directions—without explanation.
What’s something you’ve outgrown in your business or mindset that you’re ready to leave behind? Share it. Naming it is powerful.
#coachingtruth #coachingforcoaches #mindsetshift #executivecoaching #coachingbusiness
High achieving. Highly responsible. Highly exhausted.
There’s a version of you
that you haven’t met yet—
because you’ve been so busy
being everything to everyone else.
She’s not loud.
She’s not flashy.
But she’s persistent.
She’s the one who whispers,
“There’s more for you than this.”
She’s the one you silence when you’re
checking boxes,
scheduling the next thing,
pushing through the day,
smiling when you want to scream.
This is for the woman who’s done everything “right”—
but still doesn’t feel whole.
For the high-achieving leader, the mother, the woman everyone relies on…
who’s secretly wondering when it’ll be her turn to feel free.
The truth is:
You don’t need to blow up your life.
You just need to feel like it’s yours.
And that’s exactly what we’ll begin inside the BOLD AF (Activated & Free) Workshop.
This is your permission slip to pause.
To breathe.
To tell the truth—without judgment.
And to finally reconnect with the woman underneath the image.
Join me June 18 for one hour that might just change everything.
It’s for the woman who’s ready to stop performing—and start becoming.

Next Wednesday, June 5 from 5–6 PM PT, join guest coach Nick D`Agostino for our First Wednesday Community Call—and we’re getting into the real stuff.
Topic: The Inner Work of Client Creation
This session is for coaches who feel stuck, even though they “know what to do.”
We’ll dig into:
Fear, perfectionism, and imposter syndrome
Emotional undercharging and money mindset
The internal narratives that block your business
This isn’t about another strategy—it’s about rewiring your thinking so your actions actually work.
Mark your calendar. Bring a coach friend.

This one hits deep.
It’s about the ways we shrink ourselves to stay liked, keep the peace, or avoid conflictand how to start unlearning the patterns that are keeping you stuck.
If you’ve ever said yes when you meant no…
Held your tongue to avoid being “too much”…
Or made yourself smaller to make others comfortable…
You’re not alone.
And you’re allowed to take up space again.
I’m sharing my story, the truth about what shrinking really looks like, and a powerful journaling prompt to help you reconnect with your voice.
Go give it a read. And if it speaks to you, share it with someone who needs it.
