Freeing Myself from Self-Sabotage
In this session, you will learn strategies to overcome mindset blocks or self-sabotaging thoughts such as I can't, what-ifs, fears, and insecurities that are preventing you from moving along in your personal or professional journey and reaching your full potential.

Trusting Myself Once and for All
As creatives, especially artists, it can be intimidating to share and talk about your art with others. It gets more complicated when you are the one selling your work. It can feel awkward and uncomfortable. After all, your art is a window to your life, values, thoughts, and soul.

Many experience self-doubt and even second-guess the quality of their work. From overcoming insecurities and self-imposed limitations to challenging your comfort zone, this session will provide you with powerful and practical ways to build and maintain self-confidence that lasts.
