Gorgeous Hearts

Gorgeous Hearts Connect & Express is the ever evolving expression that is inspired from my own experience and continual learning. I feel that we are all masters and beginners of something in life, and what we get to master very often inspires us to share with others who struggle with the same issues.

If you are here, you have either met me in person or you found me on one social media platform or another. There was something that incited you to find out more, perhaps a feeling of kindredness and an empathetic ear from someone who understands.  You are a woman who has worked damned hard to get where you are and yet you are sensitive to how others feel which often stifles your true expression. You tend to doubt yourself and lack confidence in your expression for fear of saying the 'wrong' thing. You want to be authentic, but you find yourself saying yes when you mean no! You dream of being able to stand up and communicate your needs eloquently and confidently so you can succeed in whatever you do and whatever that looks like for you.

I know because I've been there.  I used to feel so insecure and fearful of rejection and judgment and as a professional singer, I would often lose my voice before a performance which knocked my confidence and affected my performances negatively, but it wasn't just on stage where this showed up. As a HR professional I was extremely anxious about standing up for myself and felt rather bullied into accepting what I didn't want to accept. It took me a long time to stand up to the micro-management culture that was negatively affecting the whole organisation and I ended up getting ill before finally deciding to speak up. 

Self-doubt sabotages your life and can easily make you feel a victim - further dis-empowerment and a vicious circle indeed! I used to read many self-help books and followed different gurus in search of my 'better self,' but after years of that I realised that nothing really changed - I felt I would never be enough for my own or anyone else's standards and that communicated itself loud and clear - I realised that people weren't listening because I couldn't even hear myself!

Wow! just reading this back shocks me, but other women have shared similar stories with me and I knew I wasn't alone. It's now a passion of mine to support women to express more confidently, because back then it all looked so difficult and frustrating, and now I realise that ths story doesn't have to define you.

Are you able to let go of self-criticism, comparison, jealousy, resentment, anxiety and fear? Because beneath all of that is an amazing, wise, intuitive, caring, tender, sensitive yet powerful woman who is not invisible but invincible!
