If you’re feeling overwhelmed because you’re constantly giving to others and neglecting yourself, I get it. That was me for 50+ years. If you’re over it and just can’t do it anymore, I hear you. If you long for authentic self-expression but are afraid of what others will think, I get that too.

Learn the secret to balanced relationships by repairing your life from the inside out.

Perhaps you’re a professional woman like a manager, business owner or nonprofit worker. You got into your profession to help others, but now it’s gone way too far. You find yourself living for others’ approval and unable to say no because you’re so afraid of what they’ll think. I used to be afraid people would think I was a “bad person” if I said no.

Maybe you’re afraid people are going to think you’re “selfish” (God forbid!) if you set limits with them or try to take time to do things you want to do, like working on projects that will get you promoted (instead of your boss) or taking time at home for your hobbies or rest.

This workshop is for you if…

· You’re feeling pulled in all different directions and just can’t do it anymore

· You look on the outside like you have your shit together, meanwhile you’re falling apart inside

· You’re trapped in people-pleasing and continually say yes when you really want to say no

· You’re so busy rescuing and fixing others that you neglect yourself, and maybe even feel like you’ve lost yourself

· You’re a helper who needs help

It’s time to start living a life of balance with more authentic relationships where you stop over-giving, but are still kind and helpful. Match your outsides with what’s going on inside and feel more authentic at work and at home. Break your people-pleasing patterns and build self-love and respect.
