All my life I’ve been a fierce force of imagination, persistence, and hard work: like a dragon hunting for gold. But instead of treasure, I’ve been searching for stories to tell and ways to make an impact.

Born in Belarus, I studied journalism in Bulgaria and worked in marketing in Russia, but storytelling has always been my true passion. I create narratives that allow people to explore fresh perspectives in a safe, immersive way.

As a queer, neurodivergent woman from a patriarchal country, I’m passionate about shedding light on complex topics through my work. Over the years, I’ve designed more than 100 LARP games, written 10+ original tabletop campaigns, and worked as a script supervisor on the short film Mein Name Akim (2024), which tells the story of transgender refugees in Germany.

During my MA in Serial Storytelling at IFS Cologne, I honed my skills across genres, working on solo projects as well as collaborating in Writers' Rooms.

Currently, I’m co-developing a visual novel game with a co-author as a passion project.

Now that I've completed my degree, I’m eager to bring my creativity to TV and gaming, crafting stories in both English and German.

Dragons never stop breathing fire. And neither do I, with an endless flow of ideas and stories I can’t wait to share.

I’m currently writing my first vertical series, and here’s my biggest takeaway so far:


🐲 Momentum is everything.

#Verticals don’t live in perfect structure or beautiful prose. They live in forward motion. Every scene has to pull the reader into the next one immediately without warm-ups or lingering. 

And that’s both the hardest and the most fun part.

You constantly ask yourself:
 👉 Does this end with a reason to keep scrolling?
 👉 Does this scene move, emotionally or plot-wise?
 👉 Can I afford to slow down here? (Usually no)

It’s intense, slightly addictive, and weirdly liberating. Once you lock into the rhythm, the story starts running on its own momentum.

Narrative designer and screenwriter ▶️ Let's create stories that make an impact

Finishing my first #vertical rom-com sample taught me one thing very clearly: you don’t write episodes from the beginning. You write them from the cliffhanger. 🙂 


In verticals, the ending isn’t a nice wrap-up. It’s the engine. Every episode has to land on a moment that reframes what we just saw, emotionally, romantically, or comedically, and makes the next episode unavoidable.
So instead of asking, “How does this episode start?” I started asking, “What’s the last thing I want the viewer to feel?” 

💡 Once the cliffhanger is clear, the rest of the episode snaps into place. Scenes suddenly know how long they’re allowed to be. Dialogue stops rambling. Every beat either pushes toward that final turn or it gets cut.

Writing verticals this way changed how I think about structure in general.
Endings first. Then precision. Then mercy for nothing that doesn’t earn its place. In most of the cases, if the cliffhanger works, the episode works. Everything else is just scaffolding.

🐲 Ever wondered why some audio games pull you in instantly, and others just sound like long audiobooks with buttons?

It’s rarely a tech problem. It’s almost always a writing problem.
That’s why I’m running a live masterclass on writing for audio interactive games, and it’s built as a write-along session, not a lecture. 

What we’ll do together:
- Start with a simple inner pitch and turn it into a playable audio scene
- Learn how to write stories that work without visuals, using sound, silence, and pacing
- Craft dialogue that actually survives being spoken aloud
- Design micro-choices that create emotional pressure instead of fake branching
- Learn how to ask the right questions that drive interactive audio forward
- Break down the most common mistakes in audio interactive writing, and fix them with less text 

We’ll also explore TWIST, the interactive audio engine by EarReality, and how it makes writing for audio easy, intuitive, and exciting, even if you’re not technical.

You’ll leave with:
- A playable audio micro-scene you wrote during the session
- A repeatable way of thinking about interactive audio writing
- Clear next steps to continue developing your story

This is for you if you’re:
- A writer curious about games but focused on story
- A narrative designer moving into audio
- An audio drama creator exploring interactivity
- A creator looking for new storytelling formats

📝 Come ready to write. This is a write-along interactive session.
Event details & registration are below 👇

Audio interactive games are not audiobooks. They are not podcasts with choices. And they don’t work if you “just write good dialogue.”

This live masterclass is a writing-first, hands-on session focused entirely on how stories change when they are written for ears, choice, and listener agency. We are not talking about game mechanics or coding. We are talking about writing — and how to rethink it for interactive audio.

📝 Be ready to write a lot. And interact a lot. This masterclass is designed for people who learn by doing, not by watching slides.

Masterclass: Writing for Interactive Audio Games

One of the fastest ways to break immersion in an audio game is letting the protagonist know more than the player. 👾 


The moment that happens, intimacy is gone. 💀 
Audio works because it’s close. Personal. Almost conspiratorial. The player is inside the character’s head. And that only works when discovery happens together.

Shared ignorance is powerful.

When neither the player nor the protagonist knows what’s behind the door, every sound matters. Every pause carries weight. Every choice feels risky, not because it’s complex, but because it’s unknown.

From a narrative design perspective, this changes how you structure information:
🐲 Exposition becomes something you earn, not something you dump
🐲 Revelations land harder because they surprise both sides
🐲 Trust forms between player and character; you’re figuring it out together

The opposite is also true. If the protagonist casually hints at knowledge the player doesn’t have (“You already know why this is bad…”), the player is suddenly outside the story, trying to catch up instead of living it.

In audio, dramatic irony is a luxury you rarely need. Alignment beats cleverness.

👉 Design your stories so the player and protagonist learn, doubt, and panic at the same pace. That’s where audio stops being a format and becomes an experience.

#NarrativeDesign #AudioGames #StoryArchitecture

Audio games are often designed as one-time experiences. 


You listen, you move forward, you reach an ending. The format is intimate and linear, so replayability is usually not the goal. 
👉 But it could be.

Replayability in audio doesn’t mean adding more branches or content. It means designing for a new understanding.

If you want a second playthrough to feel rewarding, focus on how knowledge changes the experience:
🐲 Early lines that seem insignificant
🐲 Casual remarks or offhand comments that only gain meaning once the player knows what’s coming
🐲 Consistent NPC behavior

Characters don’t need twists, just logic. On replay, players start recognizing patterns that were always there. 
👉 Choices that don’t announce their importance
👉 Decisions that feel neutral at first, but quietly shape tone, trust, or outcomes later
👉 Consequences that echo instead of exploding
👉 Subtle shifts rather than obvious feedback

The difference becomes clear only in comparison.

If a second playthrough doesn’t make the player notice what they missed the first time, the story was built to be consumed, not discovered. And audio, of all formats, benefits the most from discovery.

Do you replay audio games at all?

#AudioGames #InteractiveStorytelling

In audio games, choices aren’t just content. 
👉 They’re mechanics.


“Open the door.” “Crack the door quietly.” “Kick the door in.”
Same action. Completely different game.

The phrasing doesn’t just describe behavior, it tells the player how to feel about the choice. Safe. Careful. Aggressive. Desperate. Confident. Panicked.

That’s why writing choices is a design task, not just a writing one.
When I work on audio narratives, I think about:
🐲 What emotional tone does this phrasing signal?
🐲 Does it invite caution or recklessness?
🐲 Does it frame the player as in control or reacting under pressure?
🐲 Does it suggest consequences without spelling them out?

The player isn’t only choosing what to do. They’re choosing how they are doing it and who they are in this moment.

If your choices are all written in the same neutral voice, you’re flattening player agency, even if the branches are complex. In audio, wording is gameplay.

Flowcharts are great. They tell you what happens in the game.
👉 But audio players don’t navigate through logic. 


They navigate through emotion.
They stay because they’re tense. They leave when that tension flattens.
That’s why, when designing audio games, I think in emotional curves before plot structure:
👾 Where does anxiety peak?
👾 Where does the player finally breathe?
👾 When does curiosity replace fear?
👾 Where does silence do more work than dialogue?

This directly affects architecture:
🐲 High emotional intensity = fewer choices, tighter scenes
🐲 Low intensity = space for exploration or reflection
🐲 Too many branches at an emotional peak = cognitive overload
🐲 No emotional variation = disengagement

If your emotional intensity stays on one level for too long, the player’s brain checks out, no matter how good the writing is. 

So yes, map your plot. But also map how it feels to listen minute by minute. Because in audio, emotion is navigation.

🐲 Audio games shine when they tap into instinct. 


Fear. Curiosity. Trust. Suspicion. That split-second feeling of “this feels wrong” or “I should follow this voice.” 

💀 What they don’t do well?
Turning into memory exams.

If a good outcome depends on recalling a name, a code, or a tiny detail from 20 minutes ago, you’re fighting the format. Audio isn’t built for note-taking. It’s built for presence.

Instead, strong audio choices are designed around:
🐲 Emotional recognition (“This voice feels unsafe.”)
🐲 Pattern sensing (“This keeps happening when I trust them.”)
🐲 Narrative logic (“They warned me about this kind of room.”)

That way, even if the player doesn’t remember the exact detail, they still feel like they made a meaningful choice, not a random guess.

Good audio design doesn’t ask: “Did you remember?”
It asks: “What does your gut tell you right now?”

That’s where audio becomes powerful.

Break through subconscious patterns to unlock your true potential |High Performance Transformation Therapist & Coach |PQ Positive Intelligence | #anxiety #Impostorsyndrome #publicspeaking #moneyblocks

You’re not stuck. Your identity just hasn’t caught up with your potential yet — and that’s what I help women in business change.

Hi, I’m Nicky 👋

If you’re an ambitious woman in business who knows you’re here for more, but something inside still holds you back, you’re not alone. You’ve done the strategy, the mindset work, maybe even the healing… but you're frustrated because you haven’t yet been able to step into the visibility, confidence or impact you know you’re meant for.

But here's the truth.  You can’t create your next level of success with the same thoughts, beliefs and identity that built your current one. Your strategy isn’t the problem — you’ve hit an internal identity ceiling.

That older identity was shaped a long time ago — and it can’t yet hold the success, visibility, income and fulfilment you’re trying to create.

That’s why you may still:

- Dim your voice, or find yourself playing small

- Question yourself and your expertise

- Overgive, undercharge or undervalue yourself

- Hit ceilings in visibility, income or confidence

- Get close to breakthroughs… then stall

You think you need a better strategy.
But what you actually need is an identity upgrade.

When your identity shifts, everything else follows — naturally and permanently.

🌟 What I Do: 

I help women in business get out of their own way and step into the visibility, confidence and impact they’re capable of, by rewiring the subconscious patterns that silently limit success.

My work blends:

✅  Identity-level rewiring

✅  Subconscious repatterning

✅  Behavioural and emotional integration

This isn’t surface level mindset work.
It’s identity evolution at the subconscious level — the root of lasting change.

✨ What Clients Often Say

“I finally feel like I can do this.”
“I’m being seen and heard — without forcing it.”
“I can hold more — more income, more visibility, more ease.”

You don’t have to choose between your success, impact, wellbeing, or connection and relationships.
You get to have it ALL— AND be the woman who can hold it.

💫 Ways to Work With Me

✨ 1:1 Identity Upgrade Sessions
✨ 6-Month ‘Here For More’ Program
✨ Hybrid Therapy + Coaching Deep-Dive
✨ Speaking & Workshops on Identity, Visibility & Confidence

If you can feel your next-level self calling you forward,  but feel like you're sabotaging yourself — you’re just ready for an identity upgrade.

Overcoming limiting beliefs in the workplace is often referred to as "mindset" work - yet our conscious mind is a very small part of what shows up for us in day to day life.  It is our sub-conscious mind that is running the show as it accounts for around 90-95% of our daily actions.  
I am passionate about helping my clients to ignite their full potential in their business or career by removing impostor syndrome, anxiety, money and confidence blocks, but I also love sharing how it is possible to live a calmer, happier, more abundant and stress free life with more intimate connections  by understanding a little about how your mind works. 

As an Advanced RTT therapist and Accredited coach,  I am able to FREE my clients from all sorts of limiting beliefs and behavioural patterns using my unique 5 step freedom formula for cognitive change. 

The results are transformational.  All sessions are done either face to face locally or via private video conferencing around the world.  
Whilst I can help with pretty much any block or unwanted behaviour patterns - my specific area of expertise is helping my clients to work through impostor syndrome, anxiety, confidence and self worth issues in their business, their relationship with money and with their partner relationships.

Limiting beliefs aren’t fixed by pushing harder.

They’re fixed by understanding the patterns.

Limiting beliefs stem from:

→ Early life experiences
→ Childhood conditioning
→ Deep subconscious thoughts

You can’t willpower your way past them.

You can only fix them at a subconscious level.

The solution is deep work:

→ Realise what’s happening
→ Find out why it’s happening
→ Deeply understand the role it plays
→ Release the trapped emotional energy
→ Use hypnosis to install some new desired beliefs

The block will release
The nervous system relaxes
Creativity and success will flow

You’ll stop limiting yourself.
And be ready to receive more.

This is where real growth happens.

Not on the strategic surface.
But at the subconscious root.

I’m hosting a FREE workshop on January 12th.

You’ll learn how to release subconscious beliefs keeping you stuck.

DM the word MORE and I’ll send you a signup link.

Put yourself first.

No client is worth your mental health.

I used to say yes far to often:

→ Uncommitted clients
→ Events I didn’t want to go to
→ People misaligned with my values

All this did was keep me stuck.

→ Overworking.
→ Trying to please everyone.
→ Doing 100 things but failing at 95% of them.

Eventually burnout happened.

That’s what it took to make me realise my issues.

I was holding onto subconscious beliefs
that were causing me to put myself last.

→ You have to work hard for money
→ You have to please others to feel valued
→ Linking business wins and success to my self worth

I took a step back.
Looked at my beliefs.

And rewired my patterns of thinking.

Now I’m receiving more,
properly valuing my time,
and working with my ideal clients.

So if you’re putting yourself last, just know:

→ You are enough
→ Your health comes first
→ You deserve to be a priority

It’s time to take care of yourself.

I’m showing you how in my FREE workshop on January 12th.

You’ll learn how to release subconscious behaviour patterns causing you to undervalue yourself.

DM the word MORE and I’ll send you a signup link.

Stop beating yourself up for making mistakes.

It wasn’t a failure if you learned something.


If you want to grow,
you’re going to be challenged.

→ Fear of success
→ Feeling like an imposter
→ Scared you’ll lose everything

These are signs your nervous
system is outside the comfort zone.

And that’s what growth feels like.

Don’t let mental barriers
stop you from making progress.

Here’s how to overcome them:

1️⃣ Tune in to your feelings
↳ Which task is causing resistance?
↳ Note what’s giving you fear

2️⃣ Find the root cause reason
↳ What are you most afraid of?
↳ What are you scared might happen?

3️⃣ Understand why the pattern exists
↳ Which childhood experiences shaped you?
↳ Look at learned behaviours with compassion

4️⃣ Change your perspective
↳ Update your outdated beliefs
↳ Heal your inner child response

5️⃣ Hypnosis to rewire your mind
↳ Use repeated listening to change behaviour
↳ Install new beliefs into your subconscious

Life is full of challenges.

Don’t let them stop you.

Use them as learning experiences.

Every problem has a solution.
You don’t need to quit.

You need to heal the subconscious
resistance keeping you stuck.

Being loud isn’t a sign of competence.

It’s a sign of weakness.

Loud people are usually trying to:

→ Cover up lack of knowledge
→ Make themselves feel important
→ Assert dominance to feel empowered

But none of that makes
them smarter than you.

The smartest people actually:

→ Listen more than they speak
→ Say words with clear intention
→ Give opinion with confidence, not arrogance

It’s not about shouting louder than others.

It’s about stating your points with confidence.

How to stop  shrinking around loud people

Being hard on yourself isn’t the recipe for success.

It’s the recipe for burnout.

If I could go back:

I’d be kinder to myself.

→ I’d stop pushing.
→ I’d stop forcing.
→ I’d stop proving.

I thought negative self-talk
drove me to do better.

But eventually it drove me to burnout.

Eventually I realised beating myself
was my nervous system reacting.

I was telling myself:

→ You’re not worthy
→ You don’t deserve this
→ You’re not good enough

All because of ideas I’d internalised since childhood.

Eventually I learned how to let go of these thoughts.

I expanded my capacity.
Rewired my nervous system.
And became ready to receive more.

If negative self-talk is damaging you:

→ This is your subconscious
→ Pushing through won’t fix this
→ Your nervous system is the root cause

And once you fix it,
the results will follow.

I’m showing you how to move past these feelings on January 12th.

In my free workshop, you’ll learn how to release negative self-talk.

 I’m 60. If I were 26 again, 

I’m hosting a free live workshop at 7pm today 🎉
I’m teaching you how to overcome invisible
barriers to business growth and success 👇

This workshop is for you if:

→ You’re a female business owner
→ You’ve hit an invisible income ceiling
→ Working harder isn’t solving your problem
→ You watch courses, but they don’t make you money

You don’t need another strategy.
You need to rewire your belief system.

And that’s exactly what we’ll do in this webinar.

During the 90 minute workshop you’ll:

→ Rewire your mind for business success
→ Have 3 shifts to overcome your income ceiling
→ Learn the root of your money and success blocks

You’ll learn how to build a business
with more freedom (physical + financial)

We’ll also be doing a live activation!
(this is where the real shifts happen)

This is real transformation, not just information

I can’t wait to see you there today at 7pm GMT.

You don’t need to become someone else.
You need to remove the internal barriers
distorting how you show up in business.

Most of the women I work with aren’t stuck.

→ They’re smart
→ They’re capable
→ They’re experienced

But they’re not seeing the results they deserve.

→ Revenue has plateaued
→ They’re working too much
→ The business starts to feel like a cage

This isn’t because they lack knowledge.

It’s because they’re being driven
by outdated thought patterns.

A belief system adopted during
childhood that’s telling them:

→ You’re not deserving
→ You’re not ready for this
→ You’re supposed to struggle

They’re not broken.

But their nervous system is
protecting them from something scary.

And that thing is success.

I don’t help women ‘fix’ this problem.

I help them:

→ Identify outdated beliefs
→ Release the beliefs they no longer need
→ Expand their nervous system to make success feel safe

This removes the internal conflict,
gives them a sense of clarity,
and lets success happen.

This isn’t about becoming more.

It’s about removing the blocks stopping
you from being who you already are.

— — — — —

P.s. Here’s who I don’t help:

→ Women looking for quick hacks
→ Women who think they need fixing
→ Women waiting for someone to rescue them

I don’t provide surface level solutions.

I work on the root cause holding you back.

Excited to be joining up with these two powerhouses Kier Adair and Gill McKay again for a Confidence workshop!

🚨 There's just 5 spaces left for a confidence-boosting half day workshop you won’t want to miss…
This Tuesday morning,  (27th Jan) I’m honoured to be guest speaking at a powerful half-day Confidence Workshop — designed to elevate your inner confidence and connect you with a room full of ambitious, heart-led women.

✨ I’ll be sharing how your values are often the silent subconscious drivers behind your confidence… and how they can either give you permission to rise — or quietly keep you playing small.

PLUS… I’ll be guiding a live activation to help you connect with the most confident version of you — the one who already knows she’s ready for more.
Whether you’re a speaker, business owner, or woman on a mission to be more visible…

 This is for you.
🗓️ Tuesday morning
 📍 Confidence Workshop (open to guests!)
 🎟️ Only 5 spaces left
Pop a comment or DM if you’d love to come along — I’ll get the details to you!

You don’t need a new route.

You need to remove the roadblock.

Things that work to grow your business:

→ Running Meta ads
→ Hiring a sales team
→ Posting on social media
→ Doing networking events

But none of them work if your mind isn’t ready.

That’s why most business owners:

→ Try 1 strategy
→ See a bit of progress
→ Then it stops working
→ Income goes back to baseline
→ They blame the method and try another

And they go round in a circle for years.

Most strategies work.

If you remove what’s stopping them.

So instead of constantly
searching for new ideas:

1️⃣ Look at your belief system
→ Do I believe I deserve more?
→ Does success make me scared?

2️⃣ Check your nervous system
→ Do I feel tense when winning?
→ Do I self-sabotage after success?

3️⃣ Watch your patterns
→ Do I overwork when results stall?
→ Am I procrastinating on the difficult work?

4️⃣ Stop trying to willpower through
→ Fear can’t be outworked
→ Logic won’t get you past the block

5️⃣ Do the inner work
→ Look at your subconscious beliefs
→ See what events impacted your mindset

Growth won’t come from more strategies or work.

It’ll come from rewiring your belief system.

Telling yourself:

→ You deserve success
→ You’re ready for more
→ You’re capable of this

Once your subconscious is aligned,
the strategies will finally start working.

Stop thinking you’re not good enough.

Start rewiring your self-talk.

Confidence is built on the story you tell yourself.

If you tell yourself:

→ I’m not worthy
→ I’m not good enough
→ I’ll never be able to do it

Then you’ll never feel ready to succeed.

Confidence is built on the story you tell yourself.

→ How you view setbacks
→ How you internalise feedback
→ How much praise you give yourself

These thought patterns are learned during childhood.

Because they’re learned,
they can also be changed.

Rewiring your mind to believe:

→ You are enough
→ You do deserve it
→ You’re more than capable

You’ll be ready to step into your next version.

I’m showing you how to overcome these limiting beliefs in a free workshop on January 12th

You’ll learn how to release subconscious behaviour patterns causing you to undervalue yourself.

DM the word MORE and I’ll send you a signup link.

How to build unshakeable confidence

Stop putting yourself last.

Others will do the same.

Most women undervalue themselves.

→ They devalue the work they do
→ They undercharge for their time
→ They understate the results they can get

So people take advantage of them.

Clients pay less and demand more.
Friends steal time with little thanks.

You end up running around
trying to please everyone.

But getting no appreciation.

This WILL continue until
you start valuing yourself.

Here’s how to do it:

1️⃣ Put a £ amount to your time
↳ Don’t work for less than £x per hour
↳ This removes the emotion

2️⃣ Benchmark your value
↳ How much do similar people charge?
↳ Make it objective

3️⃣ Know why you undervalue
↳ Do you feel like an imposter?
↳ What are you afraid of?

4️⃣ Work on your internal beliefs
↳ Most of this is rooted in childhood
↳ Rewire your subconscious to know you are enough

Pushing harder won’t help.

You’ll end up working more,
with less time for yourself,
with zero appreciation.

Stop pushing harder.
Start valuing yourself.

Expanding your belief system will.

Most business owners aren’t stuck on strategy:

→ It’s all on YouTube
→ You’ve listened to the podcasts
→ You know what’s needed to grow your business

But you’re still earning the same money.

The problem isn’t knowing what to do.

It’s building a nervous system
that can handle more wealth.

Because if you want to receive more,
your subconscious needs to know:

→ You are enough
→ You deserve this
→ You can trust yourself
→ You’re ready for the next level

Once you rewire your thoughts,
the strategies you’ve learned will work.

I’m showing you how in my FREE workshop on February 10th.

You’ll learn how to release subconscious behaviour patterns causing you to undervalue yourself.

You started a business for freedom.

But it’s starting to feel like a cage.

Because at least with a 9-5 you can:

→ Switch off at 5
→ Leave it at the office
→ Deal with it on Monday
→ Get your pay cheque no matter what

But if you’re an overworking business owner:

→ You’re working all hours
→ You’re thinking about it at night
→ You’re never clearing that todo list

You think you need to push through.

Because if you just:

→ Land that big account
→ Get some more clients
→ Hire some great staff

You’ll have the freedom
you’ve been dreaming about.

Where you’re earning great money,
and you’re in control of your time.

And you can have all of that…
but not by pushing harder.

Most women think it’s a strategic issue:

→ I need a better lead source
→ I’ve got to build a lead magnet
→ I need to learn how to delegate

But it’s actually a self-worth issue.

You know all the strategies,
you’re smart enough to implement,
but your nervous system isn’t ready for success.

The solution isn’t working harder.

It’s taking a step back and
working on your belief system.

You’ve been conditioned to feel like you’re not enough.

But you need to rewire yourself to know:

→ I am worthy
→ I am good enough
→ I deserve to succeed

Then you’ll stop getting in your own way,
and implement the strategies with ease.

8 Signs You’re Overworking

I used to think money = happiness.

At 50 I realised true happiness is about alignment

Aligning your conscious desires
with your subconscious programming.

Most people are in internal conflict.

They need purpose and joy.

But they seek titles and money
from avenues that lead to burnout.

They don’t realise that purpose and money can coexist.

It’s possible to do what you love and:

→ Have a social life
→ Switch off at 4pm
→ Enjoy your daily tasks

If you program your mind to think the right way.

As kids, we get conditioned to believe:

→ Working more = success
→ More money = more happiness
→ If you want it done right, do it yourself

In business, these traits lead to:

→ Overworking
→ Controlling everything
→ Feeling guilty when taking time off

And ultimately you work more for less money.

The solution is rewiring your belief system.

The one that was built during childhood,
but is now holding you back as an entrepreneur.

Then you’ll be able to:

→ Stop people pleasing
→ Stop overworking for no reason
→ Build a business that actually gives you freedom

I’m hosting a free workshop on February 10th teaching you the skills to make it happen.

I’ll show you how to build a business you truly love to run. No more compromises.

DM the word FREEDOM and I’ll send you a signup link.

You don’t need another business strategy.

You need to update your childhood beliefs.

Your childhood conditioning dictates your:

→ Risk tolerance
→ Feeling of self-worth
→ Relationship with money
→ Comfort with being visible

This isn’t something you can beat with willpower.

Try taking a step back,
working on your subconscious,
and removing the blocks keeping you trapped.

Then success becomes simple.

You’ll take action without fear.

The work that felt so hard
will become a natural path.

And you’ll break through the income ceiling.

Negative self-talk is poison.

Here’s how to make it stop:

Nothing destroys you more than saying:

→ “You don’t deserve this”
→ “You’re not good enough”
→ “You’ll never be successful”

It makes you scared of trying.
And it keeps you stuck.

These intrusive thoughts
often stem from childhood.

We’re conditioned with beliefs.

They live in our subconscious.
And they dictate our actions today.

Here’s how to overcome negative self-talk:

1️⃣ Start with recognising it
↳ ****Notice negative self-talk
↳ Note that it’s happening

2️⃣ Look at what you’re doing
↳ When does it kick in?
↳ What is it stopping you from doing?

3️⃣ Understand the root cause
↳ It’s usually a childhood belief

4️⃣ Rewire the belief system
↳ Do guided hypnosis
↳ Work on your inner child

Ignoring negative self-talk won’t work.

You can’t just push through.

You need to step back,
and work on your beliefs.

Once you rewire your mind,
growth becomes natural.

The top 1% don’t just invest in strategy.

They work on their identity.

Strategy tells you what to do.

But identity determines
whether you’ll actually do it.

Most people already know the steps:

→ Post the content
→ Do the networking
→ Make the landing page
→ Reach out to the right people

But when they try to do the work:

→ They procrastinate
→ They overthink
→ They avoid

Not because they’re lazy.

Because their nervous system
isn’t ready for the outcome.

You can’t push through this.
You don’t need accountability.

You need to expand your nervous system capacity.

So growth feels safe.
So success finally sticks.

And growth finally comes
as a result of your effort.

For women wanting to grow,
identity work isn’t optional.

It’s necessary.

It allows you to stop constantly chasing.

And actually reach your potential.

P.s. I’m running a FREE workshop on this very topic! It’s on February 10th.

You’ll learn how to release subconscious behaviour patterns causing you to undervalue yourself.

Goal setting is a logical exercise.

But success is determined by your nervous system.

You set new years goals.
They sound reasonable.

But you still fail.

It’s nothing to do with logic.
It’s not because you’re not motivated.

It’s because your subconscious
isn’t ready to accept success.

And your nervous system isn’t calibrated to hold it

Your brain is carrying subconscious fear.

→ Fear of success
→ Fear of being judged
→ Fear of not being enough

These fears are irrational.
But they determine your success.

No amount of planning
will overcome the resistance.

The real solution is regulating your nervous system.

Because these fears don’t live in logic.

They live in your body.

→ Finding the limiting beliefs
→ Addressing the conflicts
→ Regulating the nervous system
→ Creating a subconscious that’s wired for success

Because these fears don’t live in logic.

They live in your body.

Then you’ll be able to
set and achieve goals.

And ultimately find success.
