“I am an imposter. I am a fraud.” These words echoed in my mind for years. Despite working as an accountant for over 30 years and excelling in my career, I couldn’t shake the feeling. Why? Because I don’t have that little piece of paper—the qualification that says, “Yes, she’s legitimate.” I never completed my…
My brother is building a house. It’s going to be beautiful—if he ever finishes it. You see, my brother is a perfectionist. He insists on completing every task himself. In fact, he’s taken the term “self-build” to dizzying new heights. And honestly? That’s fine. It’s his passion project, and he’s in no rush. He’s enjoying…
I remember sitting in the hallway, nervously waiting for a job interview. My hands were clammy, and my mind was racing. As I glanced around, my eyes landed on the walls. They were covered in framed pictures of inspiring quotes. “Eugh,” I thought. “How cheesy.” I immediately judged the company. This isn’t the kind of…
We all have those quiet little voices in our heads, don’t we? They tell us what we can and can’t do, who we are, and what we deserve—or don’t. These voices are called self-limiting beliefs.

As the graph below illustrates, that single penny might not look like much at first. You don’t see much impact until Day 23 but by Day 30, it…
We’ve all heard stories of people transforming their lives through the power of manifesting, popularized by the film and book The Secret. It sparked a global craze, making it sound so simple: you want something, you think about it, you believe it’s going to happen, and it does. Simple, right? But if manifesting is that…
In my battle to overcome people-pleasing, I’ve added many tools to my arsenal. One of the most important tools I’ve found is affirmations for people pleasers. They help rewire your thinking and remind you that your needs matter, too. People-pleasing leaves you drained and overwhelmed. You focus on making others happy, often at the expense…
Ever heard of EFT Tapping? I hadn’t either—at least not until a few years ago. One of my closest friends is an EFT practitioner, and to be honest, I always thought what she did was a bit “woo woo.” I’m a bit of a cynic, so I never believed something like tapping could work for…
So you think you might be a people-pleaser? What harm can it do? After all, you love helping others. It seems like a win for everyone, right? But the truth is, the danger of being a people pleaser goes deeper than you think. It’s not just about kindness. It’s a behavior that slowly chips away…
