You were born worthy of love and belonging

I am a big fan of Brené Brown and what she has to say about our feelings of being worthy of love and belonging. I want to share the fantastic quote below with you as, well, it says it all doesn’t it?

Do you think you have to keep playing small?

That you are not enough or that you can’t speak up for what you believe in?

Your values count and so do you.

” I think midlife is when the universe gently places her hands upon your shoulders, pulls you close, and whispers in your ear: I’m not screwing around. It’s time. All of this pretending and performing – these coping mechanisms that you’ve developed to protect yourself from feeling inadequate and getting hurt – has to go. Your armor is preventing you from growing into your gifts.

I understand that you needed these protections when you were small. I understand that you believed your armour could help you secure all of the things you needed to feel worthy of love and belonging, but you’re still searching and you’re more lost than ever.

Time is growing short.

There are unexplored adventures ahead of you.

You can’t live the rest of your life worried about what other people think.

You were born worthy of love and belonging. Courage and daring are coursing through you.

You were made to live and love with your whole heart. It’s time to show up and be seen.”
Brené Brown

You can’t live the rest of your life worried about what other people think

Here is a wonderful recording by Brené covering the subject of our worthiness:

Know Your Worth and Where you Belong | Brené Brown

Watching women learn to see their own worthiness

What I love the most about my work as a Positive Change Coach is to see the difference I make in other women’s lives. 💖

They enter a session or a programme with frustration, sadness, or desperation. As if a grey cloud is hanging over them. As the weeks go on, clarity comes to them, huge aha moments. They start living their lives with hope, they start smiling more. This can sound a bit daft but their faces start shining with happiness and optimism. It’s just beautiful.

I’m so honoured to be part of their life journey, to witness their growth. To see that they are worthy of love and belonging.

If you feel like you have been playing life small for far too long – or maybe you feel that you are never quite good enough – or if you feel you can’t speak up for what you believe in, then it might be time to see how by working with me, you can change all of that.

If you would like to find out how joining me on this journey can help you to truly love yourself and to live the life you want, just get in contact for a confidential chat.

Honouring Boundaries

Blog / Admin

What do I mean by honouring boundaries?

Do you have a hard time saying no? 😳😳

Do you find it difficult to ask for what you want?

Can you tend to neglect your own needs and wants?

Can you tend to get caught up in taking care of other people at the cost of yourself?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you’re in the right place!

Do you feel it might be a good time to introduce some healthy boundaries with your loved ones?

I think that us women can have a hard time saying no to what we don’t want and yes to what we do want.

Boundaries are the physical, emotional, and mental limits we set in our relationships. They allow us to protect ourselves from being manipulated, used, violated, or enmeshed in other people’s needs.

Boundaries allow us to separate who we are, and what we think and feel, from the thoughts and feelings of others.

The presence of healthy boundaries helps us to express ourselves and say no when needed. We can create appropriate limits and acknowledge the same in others.

As part of my coaching sessions, we spend time exploring our current boundaries and see how we can develop healthier ones.

It could be that you’re extremely affected by the emotions and energy of the people and space around you.

At times, it can be very hard to distinguish between your “stuff” and other people’s “stuff.”

In the absence of healthy emotional boundaries, you can become so overwhelmed and overstimulated by what’s going around you that sometimes it can become hard to function normally.

That can be both emotionally and physically draining.

And this is what Louise Hay had to say about healthy boundaries:

It would not be possible to enjoy healthy relationships without the existence of personal boundaries, or without our willingness to communicate them directly and honestly with others.

To set personal boundaries means to preserve our integrity, take responsibility for our needs, and assume control of our lives.

Knowing that we have a right to personal boundaries requires us to take responsibility for how we allow others to treat us.

Our boundaries act as filters permitting what is acceptable in our life and what is not.

What we say YES to and what we say NO to defines our life.

If you think you could do with setting some healthy boundaries with your loved ones and maybe those you work with, then, have a look at this short video:

This is such a big subject and I think we’re always working on establishing healthy boundaries within our relationships. But if you find that this is an area you could do with some further help on, then follow this link to find out how we can work together.

Are You Enough?

Blog / Admin

Along the way, some of us (an awful lot of us) have learnt to believe that we’re not good enough – are you enough?

Not clever enough

not pretty enough

not outgoing enough

not old enough

not young enough.

You are enough

I am enough

we are all enough

more than enough.

It’s time to step into your enoughness

It’s time to step into your magnificence and just own it. Enough of being hard on yourself, enough of putting yourself down, enough of not shining your light. You are enough, you’ve always been enough and you always will be enough.
💚
Am I going on with the enough word? No…. I don’t think I’ve said it enough.
💚
So basically, what I’m saying is YOU ARE ENOUGH.
💚
Just think what would happen if every person on this planet, from a young age, just thought they were enough? The world might be a kinder place, a happier place, a more loving place.
💚

In this short video, I talk about why so many women don’t feel good enough.

Why don’t women feel good enough?

If this is something that really resonates with you, follow this link to see how working with me can change those feelings of not enoughness.

Here are some of the things you’ll get by working with me:

Find your way to a place of clarity, alignment and clear intention

Discover or rediscover your own personal power

Deep self-love which leads to inspired action…

Letting go of comparisonitis

The knowledge that you have always been worthy enough to attract the future you want

Find freedom in forgiveness…

Transform overwhelm, doubt, and fear into love, confidence, and trust

Trust your intuition to know when you’re on the right path, and determine when a change is needed

I’d love to hear from you 💚
