A common pattern I see in women I coach…

Their brain is very good at telling convincing, and not so nice, stories, especially about themselves.

And they assume that if a thought shows up, it must be true.

That’s how spirals start.

A single thought turns into interpretation. Interpretation turns into meaning.

Meaning turns into a story that feels factual, even when it isn’t.

The work isn’t arguing with your thoughts or trying to “think positive.”

That usually just creates more resistance.

The real shift happens when you learn how to pause the story before you add another chapter.

When you slow it down, you can relate to your thoughts with curiosity instead of self-criticism.

You can decide whether a thought actually deserves your attention or whether it’s just mental noise.

This is the kind of work we do together in 1:1 coaching.
