“Love yourself first, and everything else falls in line. You really have to
love yourself to get anything done in this world.”
– Lucille Ball
Dearest Women,
I’m writing to you because I know some of you, despite your own brilliance,
are harder on yourselves than anyone else could possibly be.
Perhaps with the past year of pandemic, social unrest, and uncertainty this
pattern has become even more obvious and it is clear that being hard on
yourself is only adding to your pain.
This is a TRAGEDY.
It is also one that has played out in my own life.
I struggled with feeling like I wasn’t enough for years. I was plagued with
perfectionist goals and overachieving tendencies that left me unhappy
and critical. I sought out all sorts of self-help books/programs/classes
hoping to get to a place of peace and confidence but no matter what I
learned or did I continually felt like I was falling short.
Once I figured out that being so critical of myself was part of the problem I
unfortunately turned that into another reason to be hard on myself,
“Jennifer, why can’t you be kinder to yourself!?”
It was an endless hamster wheel of aiming for perfection and then being
critical of myself for not reaching an unreachable goal.
Some people say that you can’t fully love others until you love yourself!
While I believe this is true, I also know that those of us that are hard on
ourselves have some of the biggest hearts and capacities for care,
empathy, and understanding.
Along my path towards greater self-compassion, I had many “aha
moments” that have led me to where I am today. But one of the biggest is
that we already have the beautiful skills and capacities to love and accept
ourselves fully we just need to know how to turn them towards ourselves.
This was such a relief! I already had well developed skills I just needed to
learn how to direct them in an unfamiliar direction.
This is absolutely true for you too! You already know how to care for others,
deeply listen to them and understand what it is like to be in their shoes!
The learning that is MISSING is how to turn your big heart inward towards
yourself!
Today, I am a different person. I have the tools I need to move through
whatever story I’m stuck in about “not being enough”. I can access my
inner wisdom and show up authentically. I set goals that are reasonable
and I can course correct when I start getting stuck in old patterns. I know
what true confidence feels like and experience peace and satisfaction
regularly.
It is like I have a compass when I head out into the wild woods of the world.
It doesn’t prevent me from getting lost but once I remember I am carrying
my compass I can find my way back home.
I’d love to invite you to join me in my Become Your Own Best Friend course.
If you’ve felt lost in perfectionist fantasies, constantly chasing the approval
of others, or never quite feeling like you are enough then this is the class
(or the COMPASS 😉 for you!,
I’ve designed this course to give you the tools you need to turn your
empathy skills inward. It is a blueprint of the essential skills you need to
