Have you been successful in your career, yet often feel unsatisfied with how your relationships and career trajectory are going despite lots of effort that you’ve put in?
Are you constantly questioning your enoughness and use a checklist as proof of productivity?
Do you wonder why it often feels so guilt-producing to prioritize yourself at the risk of disappointing others?
How often do you feel stuck and unseen, and averse to taking risks?
Are there moments where you panic when unsure of the expectations of others, and find yourself over-doing to prevent rejection or criticism?
Do you wish that you could openly express your needs, learn how to identify and connect to your own dreams of success [and not what was chosen for you by others?
🔸 If you’ve answered “Yes” to any of these questions then you might be needing a safe haven where Perfectionists, those plagued with Impostor Syndrome, as well as those healing from childhood wounds of mis-attunement get recovery space.
🔸 I’ve developed this 12-week course to aid Women of Color and Black Women on how to disrupt and combat the cycles of MPI that often leave them feeling stuck, doubtful, and unfulfilled.
The MPI Cycle Breaker: No more hiding. Get out of your head and experience a connection to the life you’ve always dreamed of.
Mis-attunement is a type of relational trauma stemming from as early as childhood, where your emotional and physiological needs were dismissed, despite resources that your parents may have provided you access to.
This deprivation can then contribute to internalized shame, which causes you to attempt to be ‘perfect’ as a way of remedying past pain and anticipated future pain of rejection or judgment [meet perfectionism].
While striving for non-existent perfection, the constant experience of anxiety, fear, and worry that prevents self from fully being seen can cause self to doubt its inherent worth and qualifications, to feel fraudulent, and isolated [meet the phenomenon of impostor syndrome].
How I Know I Can Provide Support:
🔸 As a Black Woman with years of clinical and leadership experience, I know personally and professionally how experiences of systemic racism trigger a felt sense of invisibility and mis-attunement; how perfectionism emerges through pain – often as a defense strategy to avoid feeling underestimated. Yet, only to later notice that self-acceptance far outweighs any short-term outward validation. Add in experiences of sexism in addition to racism, and these definitely have a way of feeding into impostor syndrome triggers and narratives that Women of Color and Black Women hold.
🔸 After working with more than 1500 Women in a myriad of settings from top-tier executives, firms, entry-level employees, students, and professors in academia, I’m experientially attuned to the unique challenges that Women of Color and Black Women face in underrepresented spaces.
🔸 I can help you because I know what it takes to kick down barriers and move past challenges like your quality of life depends on it. Through this course, you’ll also feel the resounding effect of embracing space, where you are seen, believed, and are aided towards what you were capable of all along – wholeness and growth. As I’ve seen with many women who are committed to utilizing these tools and strategies, these tools and strategies provided in this course will help you gain the longer-term relief that you’re looking for.
