Has it ever occurred to you that the version of you that backs herself is already in there?

She’s not waiting for more experience, more proof, or more time.

She’s waiting for you to stop talking yourself out of her.

This post is for the solopreneurs who are brilliant at what they do and know it somewhere deep down, but still manage to convince themselves otherwise on a Tuesday afternoon when nothing is going right.

If that’s you, save this. Come back to it when the doubt gets loud.

And if you’re ready to actually do something about it, link in bio 😉 I’d love to help hold up the mirror and show you what you’re really capable of.

FOUR OUTFIT FRIDAY 👗👚 Here’s a few things I’ve been wearing over the last couple of weeks. I wasn’t feeling outfit 2 at all… can’t work out what it is exactly… advice welcome 🤗 Which is your favourite?! 🤩

I never meant to be a business coach. But here we are.

The short version: music industry for a decade, blog about healthy eating, an Irish man, a move to Dublin 🇮🇪, and a slow realisation that the thing stopping most business owners wasn’t strategy. It was self-trust.

That’s the longer story above. Swipe through if you want the full version.

And if the last slide sounds like you, stick around 🤗

Oh hiiii there Friday! Something funny for you 🤭

If any of these felt uncomfortably familiar, you’re in the right place, friend 🥰

The problem isn’t that your brain does this.

Every brain does this.

It’s trying to protect you from the risk of getting it wrong, being judged, wasting your time, or watching someone else do the thing you were too scared to try.

The problem is when you don’t realise it’s happening. When you think the spiral is just you being realistic, or sensible, or not ready yet.

It’s not.

It’s your Safety Guardian running the show.

And the good news is, once you can see it doing it, you can actually do something about it.

Save this for the next time your brain tries to convince you that rereading a three week old email is a productive use of your Thursday.
