You're smart, capable, and accomplished—but still feel like you're not good enough.


You've been dealing with this for a while. Maybe forever. But now something is different.
  • You don't want to keep feeling stuck.
  • You're exhausted from all the striving.
  • Self improvement has never really worked, long term.
  • You don't want to pass unhealthy patterns to your kids.

Been there, done that

I understand what it's like to be a perfectionist, to struggle with imposter syndrome, to feel like a kid in the body of an adult. I've met your inner critic. S/he looks a lot like mine used to. I know what it's like to come from a family where there's addiction or narcissism, and how that dynamic can leave you feeling like you have to earn love.

I also know that feeling of security you long for — that feeling that you are good enough — can't come from outside.

It has to come from within.
  • From a daily practice of kindness toward yourself
  • From a steadfast refusal to berate and criticize yourself
  • From radical self-compassion and self-care

It's not being good enough that makes us feel lovable. It is being loved for no good reason that makes us feel good enough.
