It’s that time of year again. The new year, new me energy is everywhere. So, what’s on your list this year?
For most people, it’s the usual suspects—fitness goals, financial goals, and now, more than ever, mental health goals. Yep, for the first time, mental health is outranking both losing weight and saving money.
It’s clear people are starting to realize that how you feel affects everything else.
Are You Confident and Assertive... Except in Certain Areas?
You know those moments where you’re totally confident at work, killing it with friends, or managing life like a pro? But then... there’s that one relationship where you freeze.
Maybe it’s with your mom, that one friend who always seems to push your buttons, or a coworker who leaves you second-guessing yourself. And suddenly, you can’t seem to express yourself the way you want.
What’s stopping you from bringing your full, confident self into these situations?
Anxiety: The Hidden Force at Play
Anxiety might be the culprit.
It’s not always that obvious, though.
Anxiety doesn’t always show up as a full-blown panic attack. Sometimes, it’s that background hum you feel when you avoid making a phone call. It’s the tension in your chest when you stay silent. It’s that story you tell yourself to avoid speaking up—“It’s not polite.”“They can’t handle it.”“It’s none of my business.”
Sound familiar? That’s anxiety.
And while it might seem harmless, it’s draining your mental battery life and holding you back.
Most people know they feel anxious, but they don’t recognize all of the ways it shows up.
They think it’s just there—a part of who they are.
Reduce Anxiety. This Is Where I Come In.
My specialty is helping people spot and reduce anxiety in all its sneaky forms.
But here’s the thing: it’s not about throwing a bunch of tips and tricks your way. It’s about experiencing how these patterns affect you in real-time and learning how to shift them.
Reflecting on the Year: Is Anything Different Yet?
So, let’s get real for a second—think back. Has anything changed since last year? Is your relationship with your partner stronger? Are you closer to your kids? Did you finally set that boundary with your mom? Are you showing up at work the way you’ve always wanted?
Or are you still waiting—hoping things will magically get better on their own?
How much longer are you willing to wait to feel different, to feel in control, to feel like you?
Ready for a Change?
The first step is simple—and free. Let’s start with a phone call.
Not quite ready for that? No problem. Send me an email and tell me what’s holding you back. Is it fear? Uncertainty? A past experience that didn’t go well?
I’d love to know.
Even sending that email is a step toward the life you want. Your future self will thank you for taking it.
