How to Stop Feeling Like An Imposter in 30 Days Without Therapy, Affirmations, or Pretending to Be Confident
The science-backed community where high-performing women rewire imposter syndrome, perfectionism, and people-pleasing at the root—not with more affirmations.
Are You Tired Of...
❌ Feeling like an imposter no matter how much you achieve?
❌ Perfectionism that keeps you stuck, overthinking, and exhausted?
❌ People-pleasing that leaves you resentful and burnt out?
❌ Leadership advice that tells you to "just be confident" (spoiler: that doesn't work)?
❌ Self-help that feels good in the moment but never creates lasting change?
Here's why nothing has worked:
Because imposter syndrome, perfectionism, and people-pleasing aren't confidence problems.
They're nervous system problems.
And you can't think your way out of a nervous system pattern.
You have to rewire it.
This is where ambitious women learn the neuroscience behind their stuck patterns
—and how to actually change them.
No toxic positivity. No surface-level motivation. No performing your way to "enough."
Just science-backed education, somatic tools, and
a community of women doing the real work alongside you.

Licensed Therapist & Somatic EMDR-Informed Leadership Coach
I help high-performing women leaders rewire imposter syndrome, perfectionism, and people-pleasing at the nervous system level—because these aren't confidence problems. They're nervous system problems.
I combine clinical expertise with real-world leadership application. I've spent years studying how early adaptive patterns become current leadership limitations, and I've developed proprietary frameworks to help you rewire them.
My Approach:
Creator of:
I'm not here to tell you to "just be confident." I'm here to teach you how your nervous system actually works—and how to change it.
Q: Is this therapy?
A: No. This is coaching and education. While I'm a licensed therapist, this community is not a substitute for therapy or medical care. If you're in crisis or need clinical treatment, please seek appropriate professional help.
Q: How is this different from other leadership coaching?
A: Most leadership advice treats imposter syndrome as a confidence problem and tells you to "just think positive." I treat it as what it actually is: a nervous system pattern that requires rewiring at the somatic level. We use neuroscience, not just mindset.
Q: What if I'm not in a formal leadership role?
A: Leadership isn't just a title. If you're influencing others, managing projects, or aspiring to lead, this work is for you.
Q: How much time does this require?
A: Free members: 10-15 minutes for weekly trainings, plus whatever community engagement feels right for you.
Q: What if I can't make the live calls?
A: All calls are recorded and posted in The Vault so you can watch on your own time.

The real question isn't which tier you choose.
It's whether you're ready to stop performing and start leading from a regulated nervous system.
