You’ve probably heard that to get over self-doubt, you need more willpower, a strategy to conquer your inner-critic, the right mindset hack or these five easy steps to stop procrastinating.

Let me save you a tonne of time and energy and a squillion pages of research findings: these tactics don’t work (for long).

Instead, let’s do the courageous and compassionate work of exploring our inner-geography and the space we occupy in the world.

Because self-doubt is personal and political.

Self-doubt has a profound role in protecting you from psychological risk; the unique and subjective root causes of your self-doubt provide the precise ingredients for your healing.

And we can’t talk about self-doubt without shining a light on entrenched cultural narratives that seek to exploit our insecurities for profit (because sometimes our self-doubt has nothing to do with us).

I can help you cultivate tangible and robust self-belief, self-acceptance, self-trust and self-worth (the best kind of selfies).

This is how we come home to ourselves.
