Why We Hold Back From the Very Things We Long For

You feel it in your body.

A quiet knowing.
A sense that something in your life wants to shift.
That you’re ready for more - more ease, more connection, more alignment.

And then… you hesitate.

You scroll past the programme.
You close the tab.
You think, “Maybe now’s not the right time.”
You talk yourself out of the very thing that stirred something in you just moments ago.


This Isn’t Self-Sabotage. It’s Protection.


When we’ve spent years surviving - emotionally, energetically, relationally - our system becomes wired to resist change, even when that change is exactly what we desire.

We fear disappointment.
We fear it won’t work.
We fear what it might mean to actually have what we want — to no longer identify with the struggle, the search, the stuckness.


Because transformation asks us to release the familiar version of ourselves… and that takes courage.

So We Wait.


We stay in the almost.
We collect more free content.
We think we need more clarity before saying yes.

But clarity often comes after the leap — not before.
And deep down, you already know.
You’ve outgrown where you are.
You’re not broken, but something in you is ready to break free.

What If You Said Yes Before You Felt Fully Ready?


Because the truth is: most women never feel 100% ready.
We’re used to second-guessing ourselves.
To over-rationalising.
To putting others first.

But something changes when you say yes, not from pressure, but from truth.
When you stop waiting for permission and meet yourself right where you are.

That’s what this 1:1 work is about.
Not “fixing” you.
But guiding you back to the version of you who already knows.
Already feels.
Already wants more — and is now ready to receive it.

If you’re holding back - gently ask yourself: What am I afraid will happen if I say yes to this?
Then ask: What might happen if I do?
