Ask and you shall receive – or so the quote goes. One of the biggest acts of self-care is to clearly and unequivocally ask for what you want. Whether the response is positive or not, you will learn a lot about what is possible, what isn't, and that gray area in-between. It may not feel comfortable. But the strongest, most successful people I know ask for help regularly.  They realize that asking for support doesn't imply weakness. It implies we are human. And it implies that we are stronger together. Which we definitely are. When we are willing to put our humanity before our productivity and truly be there for each other, we all win.  Read on for more insights. And if it is hard for you to ask for what you want, let's talk. I've helped dozens of women improve this skill. #allinclusiveyou #worklifesuccess #ask #selfcare https://lnkd.in/enPv-Yez

Do you ever feel like your own worst enemy? 🕒 Find yourself putting off what you can do today, for tomorrow? 🚧 Feel blocked by doubts and fears that seem to come from within? Self-sabotage, procrastination, and limiting beliefs are more than just personal quirks—they are deeply embedded psychological patterns that can significantly hinder personal and professional growth. Research reveals that such behaviors are rooted in our need for familiarity and safety, even when they counteract our goals and aspirations. These internal barriers often manifest as an invisible script running in the background, dictating our actions and reactions. They are the mind's way of maintaining the status quo, preventing us from stepping into unknown territories that might expose us to failure or judgment. Here’s where the magic happens: at SISTERLY, we've cultivated a community that transforms these challenges. We're not just about personal growth; we're about accelerating it through the power of collective wisdom and support. 👭 Imagine a place where every setback is met with a network of women ready to lift you up. Where your struggles are shared and your victories celebrated. That's what SISTERLY offers—a sanctuary where the journey from hesitation to action, from doubt to confidence, is a shared experience. We're nearly 200 women strong by now, each contributing to a vibrant tapestry of empowerment. Join us and discover how much more you can achieve when you're not going it alone. 👉 Ready to turn your Mindshit into Mindshifts with a sisterhood that gets it?

Consistency doesn't mean perfection! Consistency means showing up every day no matter what! Some days you'll have 100% to give, other days 70%, and some days only 30%, and that's okay. The key is to keep showing up because even if it's just 20%, it's better than 0%. Your progress may be slower, but it's still progress. So don't stress about having to do it all, all of the time. Just focus on doing what you can, when you can, and watch how your efforts add up over time. Keep going, you've got this! 💪 In the Wealthy Life Community, our focus this month is on "Everything Consistency" Together we are learning how to take practical doable steps to stay consistent to achieve our goals with ease. Are you struggling to stay consistent? Do you need a community of like-minded women that will cheer you on as you navigate through life and conquer all of life's challenges?

Real empowerment comes from reclaiming control over our pleasure and being able to communicate our desires openly and confidently. As Emily Morse says, "It’s not about your partner giving you an org*sm. It’s about us understanding what we need and what feels good, and then communicating that.” The reality is, many of us haven’t been given the tools or confidence to ask for what we want, in and outside the bedroom. And turns out a healthy, fulfilling s*x life isn’t something we stumble upon by accident; it requires intentional communication, self-awareness and accountability. Knowing your body and desires allows you to take the lead in your relationships, whichever form they take, creating more fulfilling connections and intimacy. At Her Confidant, I prioritise creating spaces where women can feel safe to explore and articulate what they truly want. Just like in the boardroom, where asserting your needs is key to success, the same applies in the bedroom. Whether through conversation, exploration, or engaging with our companions, women can take back control of their s*nsuality. True power lies in knowing ourselves and asking for what we deserve. Together, we can break down the generational stigmas that have silenced women for too long, encouraging more open, honest, and fulfilling conversations about s*x. If you want to learn more about Her Confidant and how I can support you on your s*nsual journey, browse my website https://lnkd.in/gP2uCjMh #Uncensored #WomenHealth #SpeakFreely #WomenEmpowerment #SelfLove #Connection #Intimacy #FemaleConfidence #EmotionalWellness #ModernWomanhood

I've noticed a common theme among many women (myself included at times!)—we often seek answers from others, hoping for that magic fix to solve our problems. And I'm not talking about techo or specific things we need to learn; I'm talking about YOU and how you do life! Let's be clear: we NEVER need fixing. We may need realignment from time to time, but that's very different from feeling broken💖 While seeking guidance is important, it's equally important to be discerning about where we seek advice. Are these sources truly looking out for our best interests, or are they peddling their own agenda? 🤩That's where I come in. I'll NEVER tell you what you should do or claim there's only one way to do things. Instead, I offer a profound journey—a beautiful process that helps you connect with YOUR inner wisdom. It's about tapping into that big, beautiful resource within you, uncovering your very own answers. 🥰My approach isn't for everyone. I'm here for women who are ready to take back control of their lives, connect with themselves at a deep level, design their own glorious destiny, and reach new heights through a beautiful and truly transformative journey of self-discovery and empowerment. It's about finding the freedom that comes from knowing yourself, accessing your super power within and stepping into the incredible essence of who you are✨💫🫶🗝️ 👉If any of this resonates with you, pop me a DM, and let's set up a time to chat.

The more you can fill yourself up and love yourself, the less appealing those unavailable partners will become. It's a mix of habit, familiarity, and the need to fix that often draws us in. ❤️ But here's the thing - every thought, every message, every choice is ours to make. Our feelings don't just happen to us, they're often the result of the thoughts we entertain. Getting logical, and writing things down in black and white can be so grounding. Journaling and getting those feelings out of our heads and onto paper is transformative. Suddenly we can see things for what they really are, not just the romanticized version in our minds. And that allows us to choose differently. 📓 The key is keeping ourselves full - with joy, creativity, and self-care. As women, it's so easy to put everyone else first until we're depleted. But that's often when we reach for those temporary 'fixes' like unavailable partners or unhealthy coping mechanisms. 🧘♀️ It's time to put ourselves first, to choose ourselves, to build that resilience from the inside out. The right partner will appreciate a whole, centered woman - not someone seeking external validation or temporary highs. Fill your cup, my friends. The rest will follow. ☕ Comment the word LOVE to get a link to join my free community, teaching women how to get the love that they deserve. ❤️ #SelfLove #BreakingPatterns #ChooseYourself #JournalJourney #EmotionalIntelligence #WorthyOfLove #WholesomeSelfCare #RelationshipDynamics #PersonalGrowth #WomenEmpowerment #BalancedLife

Highly sensitive people (HSPs) often have the gift of deep empathy for others. Using their intuition, deep processing ability and heightened sensory perception they naturally attune to others’ feelings by picking up on subtle clues in their body language, facial expressions and in reading between the lines of what is not being said. This ability can be a great asset in the workplace, especially for those in the helping professions, where HSPs may have more genuine and productive relationships because of their increased empathy for their colleagues and clients. BUT…this gift can also be a curse! It is one of the reasons HSPs often please others at the expense of their own needs. They can learn to become overly pleasing or compliant as a way of avoiding disappointing others or letting them down. Feeling responsible for keeping others happy, putting others’ needs before our own or always trying to be the peace-keeper can take its toll on us HSPs. Not only can we become exhausted and demoralised, but over-identifying with our caring roles can also cause us to lose a sense of our true selves. If this sounds like you, be assured it is a normal reaction and it can be healed. By recognising and understanding our patterns of pleasing from a compassionate perspective, and learning to break these cycles by developing more healthy boundaries in our relationships we can learn to change our self-sacrificing tendencies. My latest blog post goes deeper into the reasons HSPs are more susceptible to pleasing others and ways you can conquer this. If you’d like some help breaking your people-pleasing habits and doing more of what matters to you, then please DM me or book in for a free chat (link in the comments). #HSP #highlysensitiveperson #peoplepleasing #selfsacrifice

Opening ourselves up to emotional risk is never easy, but it’s essential for leading a more fulfilling life. Whether it’s in relationships, career, or personal growth, vulnerability allows us to be seen for who we truly are—and that’s where the magic happens. By embracing vulnerability, we learn self-acceptance, build stronger relationships, and grow resilient. The fear of rejection may loom, but often, the greater regret comes from not taking the risk. As Psychology Today reminds us, Embracing vulnerability is not about eliminating fear, but about finding the courage to act despite it. Practicing being vulnerable is at the heart of what we do in the Women's Purpose Community. Discover how we can practice vulnerability that can transform our lives: https://lnkd.in/g7DPcnJD #WomenWhoLead #VulnerabilityIsStrength #PurposeDrivenLeadership #PersonalGrowthJourney #StrongerTogether #SelfAcceptance #ResilientWomen

As high-achieving women, we’re used to relying on our independence and strength, which serve us well in our careers. But in romantic relationships, always keeping our guard up can create emotional distance. Letting your guard down and being open builds real emotional connection, deepening trust and intimacy. Being open isn’t a sign of weakness—it’s a form of strength. It allows both you and your partner to be authentic, fostering emotional safety and deeper connection. Sharing your feelings, needs, and concerns helps resolve conflicts, prevents misunderstandings, and builds a healthier relationship dynamic. Many women struggle to be open because in their careers, they can’t afford to let their guard down. But in relationships, being open is key to feeling understood and valued. It allows your partner to better support you, strengthening your bond. If letting your guard down feels challenging, therapy can help you explore these barriers and develop emotional openness. It’s a process, but with the right support, you can embrace openness as a path to greater connection. #highachievingwomen #womenentrepreneurs #worklifebalance

I AM TIRED! I AM FRUSTRATED! I AM DONE! These were the last things I said before finally giving up on myself when I was only 13 years old. At that young age, I decided to completely change who I was after receiving numerous complaints about my rudeness, disrespectfulness, and foul mouth. I decided I was done with having such negative reviews about my personality and resolved to become a different person to fit the mold of what people believed an ideal 13-year-old should be. However, little did I know that this decision would change my life forever. Once I decided to change, I withdrew from others to avoid saying things that would make people call me “disrespectful.” I lost friends, was bullied at my dad’s school, and, most significantly, lost confidence in myself. I can’t pinpoint exactly when my low self-esteem began, but I found myself not believing in my abilities. I was always scared when asked to do something because I feared I would fail. I never believed people when they called me smart. This is my own story. The Diary of Her is a community dedicated to providing immediate support and resources for women to cultivate self-confidence and empower themselves. It offers a platform for women to connect, share experiences, and uplift each other through encouragement, inspiration, and practical advice. The focus is on taking action in the present moment to create positive change and foster personal growth. Through various events, discussions, and collaborations, the Diary of Her aims to create a space where women can thrive and realize their full potential. Yes, that kind of community is possible. Join us on Diary of Her and become part of a sisterhood where every woman's journey to self-confidence is celebrated. Remember, your story matters, and together, we can build a world where every woman thrives. Finally, I leave you with this parting thought: “Women like you don't happen often. Never forget how rare you are. #EmpowerWomen #SelfConfidence #SupportSisterhood #PersonalGrowth #WomenSupportingWomen #OvercomeChallenges #Inspiration #CommunityBuilding #SelfLove #BelieveInYourself
