Are you a stressed out people pleaser, chronic over-thinker, and perfectionistic overachiever, yet never feel good enough? Do you neglect your own wants, needs, and desires to meet the needs of others? Do you tend to self-sabotage and repeat the same cycles in relationships? Are you hoping to build healthy connections that encompasses setting boundaries, effectively communicating, and being authentically you? If you can relate, you are not alone. I believe in the power of authentic connection and the importance of feeling truly seen and understood.
