Don’t wait to feel better about yourself in order to take your next step. You will feel better through doing, not waiting. Don’t get stuck in perfectionism, we are all works in progress and perfectly imperfect. NOW is always the best time to start.

For years I have held myself back from putting myself out there for fear of being seen and judged. I cared so much about what others thought of me that it paralyzed me. So I kept small and hidden because it was comfortable and I could get by.

But a day came when my longing to deepen my work with my clients was stronger than my need to hide, and that meant having to put myself out and share my new work. I had to allow myself to be seen in my truth. This is when real healing began for me. Through the external need to market my business I found my voice, my courage, and ultimately, myself. And it took the right kind of support to help me through my resistance and fears, and teach me to value and honor my unique voice.

Our confidence comes not from the degrees and certification we pile, but from sitting powerfully in our inherent worth. Trying to feel worthy through other people’s approval will never hit the mark. Only when you learn to truly embrace yourself and your uniqueness will you have the freedom and joy you so desire
