DOES THIS SOUND FAMILIAR?

You don’t feel like yourself anymore.

The wheels haven’t completely fallen off, but something’s not right.

You feel it every day; flat and unanchored.

Like you’ve lost track of who you are. What you like.

And how to be yourself around the people in your life.

This isn’t about confidence.

And it’s not because you’ve “lost yourself.”

You’ve just got very good at leaving yourself out of the equation.

At keeping the peace.
Smoothing things over.

Telling yourself it’s not worth it.

A woman with curly brown hair and blue eyes standing among green plants and hanging foliage.

And once you see it, you can’t unsee it.

The moment it clicks is usually subtle.

But it hits you hard.

“I’m the one doing this.”
“I’m the one leaving myself out of it.”

Not because you’re weak.

Because it’s what you’ve learned to do.

I’ve put together something that will help you see this properly:

5 signs you’ve lost trust in yourself (and why that feeling won’t go away)

Inside, you’ll start to understand why:

  • You replay conversations long after they’ve happened

  • You second-guess even small decisions

  • You feel responsible for how everyone else feels

  • Nothing you try seems to properly shift it

And what’s actually going on underneath all of it.

COMING SOON

For the first time, I’m beginning to tell the full story behind Soberistas - alongside the wider themes that shaped it: shame, people pleasing, alcohol, relationships, self-worth and the long process of learning how to trust myself.

The new membership space will include memoir-style writing drops, private discussion spaces and live Permission Circle sessions built around the themes emerging from the writing.

New site launching early June 2026.
