I get it. I am just a few steps ahead.
Let’s do this together.
“What if the question is not why am I so infrequently the person I really want to be, but why do I so infrequently want to be the person I really am?”
—Oriah Mountain Dreamer, Prelude to the Dance
I remember exactly where I was standing when I read that quote at a gift shop in Minneapolis. It took my breath away because my number one goal was always to become someone “better.” But in that quest for self-improvement, the message I was sending to myself was, you are not ok.
To me, that is the heart of self-doubt—struggling, pushing, hustling to outrun the Monger (my term for the inner critic) and transform ourselves into someone who will finally be enough.
No matter how we work together—my number one goal is to help you build a strong relationship with yourself. Helping you build self-loyalty. So, while you can want to keep growing and changing (I do, too), you aren’t doing it from a place of self-hatred but rather from a place of
self-loyalty.
