There's a reason we avoid change, whether consciously or subconsciously. It is hard.
That hard lies in the push/pull conflict of wanting more for yourself and being tempting back into the safety of the familiar.
Often, the familiar wins and you find yourself back in old patterns. It is frustrating and another notch on the 'why not to bother' list.
If you are in that messy middle of expanding into a new version of you, validate how it feels. Understanding what is happening and how normal it is allows you to hold steady.
You ARE meant for more.
You CAN do it.
Choose to move with courage.

A controlling perfectionist will only see success if strict parameters are met, often ones that can not be controlled.
There is little joy in the process. Stress, worry, and disappointment are the main experiences.
I know as I used to be there.
What a joy to have changed my lens. To not obsess over controlling outcomes but simply enjoy what is.
There are qualities to being a controlling perfectionist. Just as there are with any of the 5 perfectionist types. It is up to you to utilise them fully and manage the challenging aspects.
Are you ready to change your lens and get to the heart of your patterns? Message me with "FREE" and let's set up a free 30-minute discovery call so you can learn more about why 'eyes closed' coaching us transformative.

What a daaaaaaay.
Hosting my first in-person event felt so chilled and fun! So much fun that I forgot to take a group photo, and you KNOW I love a group pic 😂
HUGE thanks to Angi: Online Coach and Lauren | meditation and brLauren | meditation and breathworkviding such excellent sessions. Your support has been invaluable, and you are both just fab people as well as being great at what you do!
To my guests, thank you so much for choosing to spend your day with me. In your busy lives, it means the world. I loved seeing you all.

It was a full circle moment this morning driving past the Airbnb I stayed at 5 years ago on a 3-week trip to Devon fresh out of lockdowns and in the midst of heavy grief. Little did I know I'd meet a partner of 5yrs, leave corporate and start my own coaching business, meet the most wonderful people, and throw my own wellness events 😍
I would not have recognised the person I am today. A person no longer driven by fear of judgement or worry at what is to come. But intense gratitude for what I have, a deep belief that good things will keep coming and a peace I didn't know existed.
Happy Sunday. Here's to plenty more connection, coaching and courage 🤍
I already feel successful when I am taking action.
When I see something come together that I have poured heart into.
I don't try to control the outcome. The outcome isn't the most important thing.
The importance is in making the moves, feeling proud of myself, and ENJOYING the process.
I'm curious... What is your version of success?
A scarcity mindset with money is common for the Controlling Perfectionist.
You need to be prepared for whatever may come for an uncertain future. In alot of ways sensible, but does it come at the cost of actually allowing yourself to enjoy life in the present and to what degree?
Having an abundant mindset isn't just about having lots of money. It's about operating from a place of calm and self trust over fear.
Where all the good stuff happens 💫
If you want to feel differently, you need to do differently. Embody who you want to be.
Head to the link in my bio to take the Perfectionist Types quiz and see which one you are.
A new client told me yesterday that her years-long fixation with her appearance makes her feel 'awful'.
Outwardly, she looks healthy while her internal experience is very different.
She is not vain. She is steeped in unhealthy perfectionist traits driven by stories that aren't true.
Unhealthy perfectionism:
➡️ Tells you your worth is tied to how you look. It must be maintained to certain standards. And if not? Rejection. Judgement. Shame. From others and you!
➡️ Tells you to question who you even are without focusing on your appearance. What lies beyond is scary, so it's best not to go there.
In contrast, healthy perfectionism:
✅️ Looks like striving towards and maintaining a lifestyle that comes from a desire to care of yourself. You know what helps you to feel good and you make an effort as you are worth it.
✅️ Allows you to take pride in your appearance but know that you are a whole person with uniqueness and depth.
✅️ Allows balance over strictness.
After just one session, this lady felt hopeful after years of feeling hopeless. Rather than fearing the unknown, she is empowered by possibility.
That is magic 💫

Shared human experience is a fundamental need.
The moments where hierarchy, fear, shame, pressure, and worry do not exist.
Where you are free to simply exist, knowing that everything is going to be just fine.
To be connected is to feel peace. That is where contentment lives.
Connection to self
Connection to others
Connection to the world around you
Connection to that which cannot be explained
Where could you invite more connection into your life?

Ok bear with me and my 14 slides, but when you have grown in wild ways, there is a lot to capture!
The last slide gave me a chuckle 💔❤️
If there is one thing I champion, it is highlighting your wins.
I love being an honest, vulnerable voice in a world pressured to hide mistakes, rejections, shame, and failures. I am happy to lead.
The rest I am equally proud of and what a fab opportunity this post was to conscious focus on how I live now vs. the pain and inauthenticity of the past.
Do you resonate with any slides in particular?
