The Burden We Carry
I created this journey because I was drowning in my own perfectionism. Fifteen unfinished books. Hundreds of unsent emails. Courses that could help people but weren't perfect yet. Despite a seven-figure business and 30 years on this path, I was still trapped. And I watched my students doing the exact same thing. Beautiful souls with gifts the world needs—stuck in the same place.
Maybe you see yourself here too. You have real gifts inside you but you're not sharing them fully yet. Not because you're broken, but because you're carrying wounds and fears that got layered onto you from outside. In this session, we identify the "buts" that stop us—I'm not ready yet, I don't have time, it's not good enough, the market is saturated—and begin to see them for what they really are: programming that doesn't belong to us.
This is where healing begins. Not with forcing. With gentleness.
