Story of Limitation Interaction with my mom is ridiculous She does kind things but that’s not what she’s doing it for She does stuff like that to hold it over my head 2. Story of Limitation You (mom) should be able to handle those conversations and realize I’m not upset with you A child should be able to have these conversation when they are grown I’m not willing to just be ok with her not wanting to dive deep into that (emotion) This is emotion but not necessarily anger 3. Story of Limitation Anxiety in Public Conversations or interacting with co workers I get anxious and overwhelmed and overthink it I am pretty good in public interactions Sometimes I get in my own way I allow myself to not be the person I know I want 4. Limiting Beliefs I’m a scapegoat for the things that have happened in her life I don’t think it is convenient to see me as a good person Sibling illegitimizes her entire story I should be respected 5. Limiting Beliefs You don’t trust my ability to take care of myself, that hurts She has 10 billion times more faith in my brothers I haven’t done half the things they have Any chance that I've had a moment to truly find happiness that gets pulled away from me 6. Story of Regret I'm letting my family down I don't like being that person anymore. I don't like Giving everybody that same label, and not giving everybody opportunity to show me who they are, I'm just tired of having that defense up constantly, and It takes so much energy for me throughout my day to hold up those defenses and put on a certain demeanor or a certain face while I'm at work I don't want to be hurt or affected by anybody. 7. Story of Transformation Me taking time for myself is not a problem. It’s been getting a lot better with anxiety I have a little bit more compassion 1. Understanding the Trigger I was about to leave my mother’s life because I didn’t think she appreciated me and I was obligated to take care of her

Week 19: My Limiting Beliefs For Week 19, I've reflected on the limiting beliefs holding me back and am sharing them openly here. Belief in Sales: A long-held belief is that I'm not good at sales and don't enjoy it. This kept me away from commission-based roles until I launched my coaching business. Limiting my career options. - Rigid Schedule Attachment: I cling to self-created schedules, even when they no longer align with my goals. What worked in my early learning phase now hinders my shift to business-owner implementation and flexible time use. - Fear of Being Seen: Hiding my authentic self has blocked my highest potential. Over the past few months, I've challenged this by showing up more fully. - As I invest in growth, I'm committing to asking questions of experts in coaching and beyond releasing these beliefs to step forward boldly.​

Hi @Betty Ann Raymond. It’s great to meet you. What made you join this group?

@Aleksandra Glapinska Well put! It's nice to see you in the group!

Hi Everyone! My name is Tracey, and I’m excited to join you as I work toward becoming a Certified Relationship You Deserve Coach. My coaching journey began with a desire to empower women—especially those over 30 who’ve dedicated themselves to family, work, or social media, and in doing so, sometimes lost touch with their own dreams and voices. As a Stress No More Coach, I focused on helping women reconnect with their inner strengths. While supporting others, I realized that my own communication skills needed work—so much so that I almost lost one of my most important relationships, the one with my mother. Thanks to the Expert Coach Accelerator, I learned how to strengthen my relationships and take responsibility for my part. As I’ve continued through @Ed JC Smith's programs, I’ve also seen how much healthier my relationship with my partner has become when we each recognize our needs as individuals and as a couple. Right now, my biggest challenge is navigating the recent loss of our beloved dog, Yeezy. So much of our energy and focus went to him, and now we’re learning to rediscover who we are as a couple, and how to reconnect in this new chapter. I look forward to growing alongside all of you and sharing insights as we journey together.
