Feedback. What comes up for you when you hear it? Does your trigger response take you to a place of defensiveness where you assume that you have done something wrong? Or, do you receive it as an opportunity for growth? Whatever your feelings, feedback is an important tool that when received without judgement, loses its […]

Dear Gretchen: I’ve recently found out through a coworker that upon being hired at my company there was a lot of chatter around my name. Some of my male colleagues were sifting through my social media platforms making inappropriate comments (I.E “she’s nothing special but I’d still bend her over a desk” and joking about

I don’t know about you, but there has been more than one time in my life where I have suffered from not feeling good enough. On occasion, I have been known to compare my insides to the outsides of others, always a dangerous “no, no” as there is no way to compare what can’t be

Self-esteem. It can be hard to come by. We live in a world of comparisons and falsehoods, where the beautiful photos on Facebook have become real-life and real-life has become hidden. When our self-esteem takes a hit, the negative messaging starts and we get pulled into our trigger stories that tell us we aren’t good

Over the weekend I got to go on a quick getaway to Palm Springs with my husband without the kids! We had been looking forward to the overnight trip for weeks. When we arrived, I felt agitated and closed off. Being present isn’t easy. To just sit in the exact moment that you are in

We’ve all experienced times in life of wrestling with our own negative thoughts. 🤼♀️
When it comes to your coaching business, there is no exception.
“I should have done that better.”
“Why wasn’t I nicer to them when dealing with that?”
“I’m not good enough to do this…Why do I even try?”
“I’ll never make enough money as a coach.”
“I’m a FRAUD.”
When you encounter these thoughts, you’re dealing with your inner critic. 🌪️
These feelings of inadequacy are a normal part of the human experience. And we can all relate.
Your inner critic is a built-in defense mechanism that is constantly trying to protect you from embarrassment and failure. But that can become a bad thing when you allow it to hold you back - when you become paralyzed by fear. 😓
So here are four steps you can take to quiet your inner critic:
1️⃣ Ask yourself, “What is it that my inner critic is trying to protect me from?”
2️⃣ Think about this: When you are the highest and most healed version of yourself - when you’re NOT afraid - what do you know to be true?
3️⃣ Identify an important factor - Whose voice is it that your inner critic is trying to represent? Is it the voice of your parents? A friend? An enemy? Or, is it your own voice?
4️⃣ Take action: What action can you take to move (far) away from these unwanted messages and towards the truth of who you are?
Next time you find yourself fighting with your inner critic, remember: it’s just an outdated coping mechanism.
Don’t let it bully you.
Instead, remind yourself of who you really are and embrace your truth. 💖

Getting ready for BOLD 2024! These women are like a tiny pinecone. They can grow up to create a forest.
Break Free to Bold is for ambitious women who are A-type personalities. They are used to being leaders and achievers but deserve a deep level of rest, attention, and activation that BOLD offers.
These women are ready to look deeper at what no longer serves them, to pull the covers on their selective vulnerability and who are ready to unbecome anything that isn’t really them.
I honor the women who are willing to do this level of work.
Let’s do this!
