Every single one of us carries around a story about who we are and what we can (or can’t) achieve. But here’s the secret: those stories are often just that—stories. They aren’t facts.Sometimes, these stories are empowering, but often, they can hold us back without us even realizing it.

For example, imagine someone who, as a child, was told they weren’t smart enough. Maybe it was a teacher, a parent, or even a somebody they looked up to who made them feel small or incapable. Over time, that story became a part of their identity. So, as an adult, whenever they face a new challenge or opportunity, they might feel a voice in their head saying, “You’re not smart enough for this.”

This lingering story keeps them stuck, stops them from going for promotions, starting new projects, or speaking up in important conversations. It becomes an invisible barrier that leads to feelings of low self-confidence and self-doubt, even though the circumstances of their life may have changed dramatically since that first comment was made.

These old stories, deeply ingrained in the subconscious mind, can continue to disempower us. But by becoming aware of them and reworking them, we can start to release the negative beliefs and move towards a more empowered and confident version of ourselves.

Breaking free from these limiting stories can truly transform how we feel about ourselves and what we’re capable of achieving.


​Here’s something you can try right now: When you think about a negative belief you’ve carried for a while, ask yourself, “Is this really true? Or can I write a new story?” Watch what happens when you choose to rewrite it.

How to have a tough conversation

As a coach who has worked with many couples, I’ve learned that most of the stress and misunderstandings in relationships aren’t because of a lack of love, passion, or intimacy. It’s usually because they haven’t yet learned how to communicate well.

When couples learn to talk in a way that really helps them understand each other, their relationship improves a lot, and life feels so much better.

I want to share a simple way to communicate next time you need to talk about something difficult or important, whether with a loved one or even a co-worker. This approach will not only help you understand each other better but can bring you closer, with more compassion and connection. In the end, everyone just wants to feel heard, seen, and understood.

It’s not about who’s right or wrong; it’s about feeling appreciated, respected, and like you truly matter.

A Simple Guide to Having Tough Conversations with Loved Ones

This conversation is between a parent and child. Obviously you want to implement your own intention at the appropriate place.

1. Invitation and Permission:

Parent: “I’ve been reflecting a lot lately on everything that’s been happening, and I’ve come to some important realizations. Would you be open to having a conversation about it? I’d really appreciate it if we could set aside some uninterrupted time to talk, so we can both be fully present.”_

Purpose of this part: Make sure your partner gives you a resounding “yes” otherwise they clearly show that they are not yet ready to have a conversation, which is to be respected. In that case, ask when would be a better time.

2. Framing the Conversation:

Parent: “Thank you so much for making time to talk with me. I really value your willingness to hear me out.

Lately, I’ve been looking back at our past and thinking deeply about our lives together. I’ve come to a lot of realizations, and if it’s alright with you, I’d like to share some of them.

First, I want you to know that what I’m about to say isn’t me making excuses for anything that happened, nor am I condoning my past actions. I fully recognize that things could have been a lot better and that I could have done a lot better. The truth is, I had a tough upbringing, and I can see now how that had a negative impact on me and how I parented.

But here’s what I really want you to know: It was always my intention to do what was best for you. I’ve always wanted to give you as much love as I could, to keep you safe, to make you feel heard, understood, and seen. My heart has always been in the right place.

Of course, I realize now that my actions didn’t always reflect those intentions, and I made many mistakes along the way. I now understand that I did the best I could with what I knew at the time, but I didn’t have all the tools, the knowledge, or the self-awareness I needed. I wasn’t a parenting expert, and I had a lot of growing to do.”

Purpose of this part: See if the child is acknowledging your position. Look for physical and verbal cues for understanding.

3. Acknowledgment and Apology:

Parent: “I want to sincerely apologize for the ways I may have hurt you, misunderstood you, or failed to be the parent you needed. Please know that my intentions were always good, even if the results weren’t. I truly believe that when we know better, we can do better. And that’s where I am now.

I would love to have a wonderful relationship with you moving forward, if you’re open to it. I hope that with time, you can understand a bit more about where I’ve been coming from and see my heart behind it all.”

Purpose of this part: Look for more empathy and compassion.

4. Mutual Responsibility and Moving Forward:

Parent: “Now, I’d love to hear what you’re feeling about all of this. Is there anything you’d like me to understand from your side? How do you think we should move forward from here?

What do you need more of, or less of, from me to build a stronger relationship? I want us both to take responsibility for creating something meaningful together.”

Purpose of this part: See if the child is open or curious enough to provide input. Are they willing to take responsibility?

This approach ensures the conversation remains open, heartfelt, and focused on healing and understanding, while also encouraging mutual accountability for the future.

Good luck! Let me know how this worked for you and if you need more, I am here for you.

How Fear of Failure Sabotages Success and the Fastest Way to Build Unshakable Confidence

Most high achievers encounter fear at some point, whether it’s fear of failure, fear of judgment, or fear of taking risks. 

Have you ever held back from taking a big step in your career, even when you knew it could change everything? Maybe it’s not just the fear of failure, but the fear of not being *enough*?

Fear of failure often hides behind perfectionism, procrastination, or playing it safe in your comfort zone. It’s the reason why so many professionals remain stuck, even when they have the potential to achieve more.

Fear triggers the brain’s fight-or-flight response, designed to keep us safe. But in our day to day life, it often holds us back from reaching our full potential because we’re avoiding imagined threats rather than real ones.

The quickest way to build unshakable confidence is by rewiring the subconscious mind to let go of fear. We can help you break the deep-rooted patterns that trigger fear, replacing them with empowering beliefs that give you the confidence to go after what you want.

Here’s a simple technique you can try right now: Close your eyes and visualize yourself facing the fear that’s holding you back. Imagine yourself overcoming it with ease, succeeding beyond your expectations. This process of visualizing success rewires your brain for confidence.

If you want more and are ready to go from fear to unstoppable confidence, send me a message, and let’s talk about how I can help you overcome what’s holding you back for good.

Remember who you are!

Remember, who you are today isn’t who you are, you are so much more than that and you know it.

But who you are today is who you have become based on your experiences, past history, and beliefs. For some people experiences of the past have caused them to become self empowered, self confident and self assured, which is a wonderful thing.

If based on your experiences you are stuck with anxiety, self doubt and fear, please know this is not something that is useful, nor do you have to feel stuck with it any longer.

Just a little bit of retraining and mind and nervous system can help you shift all of that, so that you can become the best version of yourself.

It’s time you start living the life you deserve and experience the success, happiness and fulfillment you deserve. I am here for you, if I can help you.
