Inner Eye Life Coaching

What’s one small moment today you can fully inhabit instead of rushing through?
👉 Practice: Choose one ordinary task and do it without multitasking.

Who or what helped hold you up this week — even in small, ordinary ways? 🫶

Notice where you’re bracing for a problem that hasn’t happened yet.
👉 Practice: Soften your jaw, shoulders, or hands and let the “what if” take a back seat.

What moment this week made you quietly proud — even if no one else noticed? ☺️

What if it isn't imposter syndrome?
You know you're competent.
You know the program is good.
You know you're ready to put it into the world.
And then it's time to actually be seen.

Suddenly you're exhausted. You're tweaking the website again. Rewriting the announcement. Questioning the offer. Wondering if you're talking about yourself too much.
The excitement that created the thing in the first place seems to disappear.

I've been thinking about this very differently lately.
For some of us—particularly entrepreneurs who were socialized as girls—shame may not simply be a painful feeling we need to overcome.
It may be an old defense.
If you grew up in a family system where staying connected required you to monitor yourself, shame could actually provide a child with a strange kind of control:
If I'm the problem, I can fix me.

Then patriarchy comes along and reinforces the lesson:
Be powerful, but palatable.
Successful, but not intimidating.
Visible, but don't seek attention.
Have boundaries, but don't be difficult.
And THEN we become entrepreneurs. 😂
Now we're supposed to promote ourselves, charge what we're worth, tolerate criticism, have opinions, take up space, make money, and build something that belongs to us.

No wonder some nervous systems hit the brakes.

My new newsletter is about shame, entrepreneurship, patriarchy—and why sometimes the work isn't building more confidence.
It's going back to where the brakes got installed.

And P.S. EMDR can help.

Notice your breath — not to fix it, just to meet it.
👉 Practice: Silently name it: shallow, deep, rushed, slow. Curiosity only.

What did you not do this week — and how did that protect your energy, time, or sanity? 🫶

Your body already knows what this week requires — before your brain gets involved.
👉 Practice: Take 3 slow breaths and place a hand where your body feels most honest right now.

What did you show up for this week even though part of you wanted to disappear, delay, or stay quiet?
That counts. Big time. 💞

Pause and notice how far you’ve come — even imperfectly.
👉 Practice: Name one way you’ve changed.
