I’ve coached over 250 sensitive high achievers, who think if they just plan better, they’ll finally feel at peace. Take Matt, a high performer in a leadership role.
But instead of trusting himself. But here’s the truth: We are limited human beings in a world of limitless possibilities. Controlling every outcome is impossible. And Control wasn’t what actually gave him peace of mind. Trust was. Trusting that he would figure things out. Building a mindset that allowed him to feel at peace even when things were uncertain. Planning is important, If you want to feel more free? Focus on trusting, not controlling. Don’t get trapped in the endless cycle of overthinking. Start trusting yourself now. And if you're done letting your thoughts run the show: I just opened up 3 spots to work with me for sensitive high achievers who want to break free from overthinking and build real inner peace.

It’s such a normal way of talking that I never even questioned it. But here’s an uncomfortable truth: no one can make you feel anything. Not your boss. Not your partner. Not your parents. Every single feeling you experience is filtered through your own perspective. Through the meaning you assign to what happened....
You're stuck because you’re resisting what you feel.Most of us were never taught how to feel.We were taught how to perform.We learned to push emotions away.To hold it together.To stay strong.When sadness comes up, we call it weakness.When anger surfaces, we label it dangerous.When fear shows up, we try to control everything around us.But that constant suppression?It creates tension, overwhelm and the sense of being stuck in your own head.Eventually it turns into anxiety, numbness,...
