'Free to Be Me'
Unchain the ‘Good Girl’ and Reclaim your Life.
You’ve spent years being the dependable one, the kind one, the strong one.
But somewhere along the way, you got lost in all the giving.
You try to be grateful. You try to stay positive.
But deep down, you’re tired of putting yourself last, second-guessing your decisions, and shrinking to keep the peace.
What if you didn’t have to live like this anymore?
Introducing: Free to Be Me
An 8-week guided live programme to help you gently un the “Good Girl” conditioning — so you can feel safe, whole, and authentically yourself.
You’ll uncover the root of your patterns, learn how to regulate your nervous system, and receive practical tools to create lasting freedom.
“Before this programme, I felt like I was missing from my own life. Afterward, I felt more relaxed, present, and able to make choices that support me.”
— Michelle, New Zealand
