One of the hardest lessons I ever had to learn in my career was that pressure was not a good thing. I spent years thinking that it was the motivator that drove me to success, when in reality it was sabotaging me day by day. It led to over committing, people pleasing, imposter syndrome… and pretty much every other bad habit I had.

Pressure is not a badge of honor; it's the unseen force that hinders your true potential. With almost every single one of my clients I see that pressure turn from a motivator into a stressor. While they once thought it was the thing that made them successful, suddenly it’s their kryptonite, and they feel terrified and overwhelmed. This pressure can lead to each one of the bad behaviors I outlined above: feeling stuck, making fear-based decisions, overextending…
