I used to get so excited when I said “yes” to an invitation. I'd imagine myself going, smiling, feeling confident, blending in with ease. But when the day came, my chest would tighten, and the anxiety would start whispering: “You’re not ready. You’ll say something dumb. They’ll notice how nervous you are.” An hour before the event, I'd be staring at my phone, typing and retyping a message to cancel. The relief I felt right after hitting send was almost addictive. But later, I'd feel disappointed in myself—not because I stayed home, but because I wanted to go... and fear won again. Have you ever canceled plans due to anxiety? What would make showing up feel easier for you?

I used to struggle with social anxiety—overthinking every interaction, avoiding social events, and feeling stuck in my own head. But now, I feel confident and at ease in any social setting. Conversations flow naturally, and socializing no longer feels like a battle. Going from socially anxious to thriving in social situations is totally possible—and I want to help you get there too. I’m looking for one person to personally work with 1:1 for free to help you go from socially anxious to feeling calm, confident, and in control in any social setting. If you want to break free from social anxiety and step into confidence, DM me “CONFIDENT” and let’s chat!

I used to walk away from even the smallest social interactions with a storm in my head. I'd replay every detail—what I said, how I said it, the look on their face when I said it. Did I talk too much? Did I say something weird? Should I have smiled more? I’d lie in bed at night rewatching these tiny moments like a movie I couldn't stop. What made it worse was that no one else seemed to do this. Everyone around me looked so relaxed, while I felt like I was carrying a mental filing cabinet of past conversations. Even if nothing bad happened, my mind would still whisper, “You probably messed that up.” Eventually, I started to recognize the pattern—not because it stopped, but because I got tired of being drained by moments that were already over. That’s when my healing really began. Do you ever find yourself overthinking after social interactions? How do you handle it—or want to start handling it differently?

No, I'm not talking about drinking alcohol before you leave the house. I'm talking about getting yourself in the right mindset to calm your nerves before being social. I always had conflicting feelings before leaving the house. I wanted to be social and see friends and family, but I didn't want to feel the anxiety that went with it. In the car ride there I would repeat one or two affirmations to calm myself and ease my nerves. And then two or three deep breaths as I'm walking towards the place I'm going. This would help me a lot! Do you want my top 10 favorite affirmations?? Just comment "AFFIRMATIONS" below
