I actually don't think it's that hard to be "successful".

I did it. And if you're reading this, you've probably done it too.

You got good grades in school. You applied to several colleges, went to one and got decent grades there too.

Then you got a job that gave you retirement matching and health insurance and bam.

You're successful.

But wait? Is that success*?

​

If it is.... then why doesn't it feel good?

Why are you still constantly worried that you are somehow doing this all wrong?

​

I'm 36.

And for most of my life I measured success by standard metrics.

By grades, awards, SAT scores, gainful employment. By my ability to check off items on a list I inherited from who the heck knows where.

And I was... fine.

But there were two big problems.

1. I was bored. And I had like, 60 or so years ahead of me in life. And this was... it? That did not work for me. **
2. I'd left parts of me behind. Interests, dreams, ideas... The things that lit me up the most were relegated to "hobbies". And the hobbies I wasn't immediately brilliant at were cut out entirely.

​

I was left successful, lonely, and unfulfilled. Bored with myself and the life I had created.

​

The truth is - it's not particularly fun or fulfilling to live a life where your main concern is basically just trying to not fuck anything up too badly.

Easy success isn't a sign I was doing it right. It was a sign I was swimming in the shallow end, thinking it was safer when the whole time I could have been out in a magical, unexplored ocean.

​

NOW I run a coaching and healing business all about helping women UNLEARN perfectionism, people-pleasing, and high-achiever mindset.

Because, that's right, it turns out that all the habits and practices that got you here? You're going to have to let them go to get where you're *going*.

Now, I don't know where that might be.

Only you do.

It's stamped on your soul. It's in your bones, your sinews, and your heart muscles.

But I am going to work like hell to help you get there.

​Ready?​

*Have you noticed that Big Success - Beyonce, Taylor Swift, Oprah, Will Smith style success.... we've actually been told NOT to shoot for that? Because it's "random, luck, and 'who you know'"? Interesting... right? I'll talk more about this later.

**By "did not work" I might mean "triggered a deep existential crisis and depression that required huge life changes to begin to unravel".
