As women, we can easily fall into the trap of showing up as the person we think we’re supposed to be. We have ‘roles’ to fulfil – the dutiful daughter, the mum who ‘has it all together’, the colleague who is ‘so helpful’ and ‘never says no’.

Add religious obligation and expectation into the mix, and it’s easy to completely lose sight of our authentic self. We show up as the ‘good girl’, pretending to get everything right.

Hands up if you’re exhausted…

The work begins with a reconnection with our values and an honest look at how we’re performing for others. Then, challenging our people-pleasing and learning to set boundaries helps us protect who we really are.

If we want to show up as our true selves, there’s hard work to be done. But it’s worth the investment. Reach out if you’re ready for the work.
