Why does your chest tighten every time you say “I’m fine”?
Maybe it’s not just stress.
Because sometimes the body carries what the voice won’t say.

It’s the headaches that come out of nowhere.
The knots in your stomach when you walk into certain rooms.
The fatigue that no amount of sleep fixes.

But here’s the truth I’ve learned:
The secrets you hold show up in your body until you set them free.

In my book, “Break Free From Your Dirty Little Secrets: A New You in 10 Secret- Breaking Stages,” I talk about how the things we hide don’t just weigh on our minds.

They weigh on our health.
You deserve to feel well, inside and out.

If saying ‘I’m fine’ makes your chest tighten, comment ‘me too.’

She crushed the board meeting.
Financials solid. Team engaged.
But as the Zoom ended…

Her shoulders dropped.
Her jaw unclenched.

Because for an hour, she hid the truth:
She’s overwhelmed.

Authentic leadership doesn’t mean spilling every feeling.

But it does mean dropping the mask that’s costing you sleep.

Question:
When’s the last time you told the truth—to yourself—about how much you’re carrying?

Type “seen” if this hits home.
Or share one thing you wish you could say out loud at work.

Success doesn’t always feel like success. Especially when you’ve outgrown the life you built.

She had the title.
The house.
The calendar full of meetings and milestones.

By every definition, she was successful.
But inside?

She couldn’t shake the question:
“Why doesn’t this feel like enough?”

When she joined Break Free to BOLD, she didn’t come with a clear “problem” to solve.
She just knew something wasn’t right.

And it wasn’t until we were tucked away at the retreat, away from the noise, the roles, the routines, that the truth found its way to the surface:
She was afraid to be seen.

At work, she’d shrink in meetings.
Downplay her brilliance.
Avoid the spotlight, just to stay safe.

That fear?
It was running the show.

And she hadn’t even realized it.

But in a space where she could let her guard down,
With women who weren’t competing, but holding space.

She named it.
Faced it.
And chose to break free from it.

That’s the power of getting out of town to do the real work.
Of leaving your day-to-day so you can finally meet the version of you that’s been buried underneath it all.
She went home different.

Not because she added anything to her life,
But because she reclaimed something that was always hers.

This is what happens inside Break Free to BOLD.
Breakthroughs don’t happen by accident, they happen by choice. And the first step? Saying yes to the space where you can finally exhale.

Drop a “🙋‍♀️” if you know it’s time to get out of your head, out of your hustle, and into a space that sees you fully.

Too many coaches dream about 6- and 7-figure years without asking the real questions:

What income channels am I focused on daily?
What do I need to let go of to hit this goal?
Am I treating my calendar like a CEO or a content creator?

I walk my clients through a Roadmap to Success that helps them reverse-engineer their net income goal into actionable steps.

And here’s the truth:
If your actions don’t match your income goal, it’s a hobby.

Want to plan your revenue like a 6 figure business?
I created the Roadmap to Success Worksheet to help coaches turn their income vision into strategy. Download the worksheet in the comments.

Claim it: Drop “Abundance” in the comments if this is your 6 figure season

Let’s talk about the topic most coaches avoid: MONEY.

How much to charge. How to handle objections. How to stop feeling weird about asking to be paid well for powerful transformation.

I break it all down in this month’s issue of Breakthrough Author Magazine. From shifting your money mindset to confidently pricing your coaching packages, this article is for every coach who’s tired of undercharging and ready to step into their worth.

Read the full article here: https://flipbooklets.com/pdfflipbooklets/breakthrough-author-magazine-july-2025

After you read it, tell me: What’s one belief you’re letting go of when it comes to pricing?
