It’s not because they are dumb.

It’s not because they aren’t hardworking.

It’s not because they aren’t talented.

It’s not because they don’t want it bad enough.

It’s because social anxiety is designed to be a prison, that your mind created, from your past, to restrict you from being your real self, even when that’s what you want to do, that automatically runs without you thinking about it 24/7.

And so the average person facing this issue:

prepares before a social event by practicing what to say.

trying to imagine being confident.

trying to hide it from everyone and faking it.

replaying social scenarios in your head.

trying to smile and look confident.

And then you go….

And then literally the same exact thing that has always happened, happens again, regardless of what you are trying to think or do differently.

The reason why most people with social anxiety never escape is because it’s not common sense, it’s not intuitive, it’s not even about your thoughts or emotions.

It’s your brain & nervous system that enter Flight & Fight and force you to be a fake version of yourself regardless of your mindset or what you told yourself in the mirror.

Sound familiar?

This was me for 10 years of my life.

Everytime that happened….

I would go home depressed. Hopeless thinking that no matter what I try to do, nothing will help me no matter what. This is a quick route to a miserable and mentally unhealthy life that will continue to drag you down again and again.

This is why Harvard’s Meta-Analysis study showed people with social anxiety face the highest rates of substance abuse, social isolation and suicide.

Which is exactly where I found myself and after years and years and years of experimenting, trying every day, learning from neuroscientists & psychologists..

I found a solution.

It’s not even going to cost you over $100, I’ve made it affordable.

It’s not a cure that will work in 10 days, although it’s a 45 day program.

It’s a system that shows you day by day, step by step, what to do, how to do it, why you should do it, and then lets you interact and find your own personal answers.

It’s my best attempt at what I wish I had when I was in your position, unable to be myself, lacking confidence, and just felt like my mind was suffering including my mental health.

5 Steps to Better Emotional Wellness - Episode 57

It’s never been a more important time to prioritize emotional wellness.

The National Center For Emotional Wellness defines emotional wellness as "an awareness, understanding, and acceptance of our feelings, and our ability to manage effectively through challenges and change."

Learning more about emotional wellness is crucial as many misconceptions currently fog our judgment around emotions. Many of us believe the goal is about “not having feelings” but rather learning what to do with them.

Emotions are one of the fastest forms of communication between our body and mind. When something happens, or someone says something, we often immediately feel our body communicating via emotion.

The best leaders and communicators understand the importance of upgrading emotional wellness to improve any situation and stress levels.

Master emotional wellness with these five key steps...

How What You Wear Impacts Social Anxiety - Episode 55

We are all aware to some degree of how our clothes impact our confidence. What we choose to wear is the most outer layer of how we are perceived by the world.

If we’re going to a formal event, dress formally, or else you will stick out negatively.

Whereas others of us who grew up in certain cultural or family beliefs might think someone who dresses in particular clothes is a particular kind of person, etc.

What you wear matters…

But not for the reason you would think.

We probably don’t think twice about what we are going to wear and how it may impact ourselves and our anxiety. Today we will discuss the role of our clothes and social anxiety.
