Authentically YOU: Dare To Wear Pink Sneakers in a Beige World

Are you tired of letting fear stop you from speaking (and living) your truth? …tired of that relationship and/or career that leaves you feeling empty? …tired of feeling like you’ve lost yourself?

You can feel seen, heard and appreciated. You can go from hiding out to feeling empowered and joyful. But first, you need to release the hidden blocks that have prevented you from BEING YOURSELF so you can attract the career, the love—and the life—you so deserve.

You will learn:

What stops you from being authentic
The price you pay for not “speaking your 100% truth”
The 2 words you need to stop saying now, if you want to be true to yourself
How you can show up more authentically in your life

Why Time Won’t Heal You…and What Will

You can turn your suffering into freedom and joy. If you have ever experienced pain (through a breakup, betrayal or other loss), it’s likely that well-meaning friends have attempted to comfort you by saying, “Time heals all wounds.”

Unfortunately, not only is that not helpful, it’s also not true. Time—by itself—will not heal you. It’s what you do with the time that determines whether you will heal, or carry these wounds into your future life, and relationships.

You will learn:

Why time will not heal you…and what will
The question you need to stop asking yourself today if you want get unstuck
The 7 steps that will help you become Radically Resilient
