Your Current Reality
On the surface…
You have created the life you set out to achieve, a successful career, financial stability and a fulfilling home life.
But beneath the surface…
Something’s off and you can’t quite put your finger on what it is. You know you’re feeling stuck but you don’t now why.
You’re starting to feel emotionally numb and disconnected from yourself but feel a pressure to maintain the identity you’ve created, even at the expense of your wellbeing. For the first time in your life you’re feeling lost and unsure of who you truly are any more.
Your ambition drives you to maintain the success you’ve created, but your inner critic prevents you from fully relaxing into the career you have built. Even after all this time you suffer with imposter syndrome and self doubt. At the back of your mind you fear the work will dry up and the flow of money will end.
You frequently experience mental exhaustion from the stress and pressure of work draining your energy and blocking your creative flow.
Some days you’re like a charging bull powering through your workload, leaving you unable to quieten your mind to relax. At the end of the day you feel wired and struggle to concentrate but mentally and physically you’re exhausted. These are signs of a dysregulated nervous system and that its time to slow down and check in with yourself.
Your current identity is critical of your decisions leading you to second guess yourself, making you question your abilities affecting your confidence and motivation. Sometimes it’s a low hum, other times it’s loud and domineering, especially when you’re working on a something, this is when it turns up to 11.
Your external success no longer give you the same sense of satisfaction it once used to. As you age you’re seeking deeper meaning and purpose in life beyond your career achievements.
as we age we evolve making it harder to maintain an outdated identity
If you’re thinking “I don’t know who I am any more” then it’s likely you have outgrown your current identity.
When you start to lose your sense of self it can leave you feeling lost and lonely.
Ignoring or avoiding this internal shift won’t make it go away.
Is the stress of keeping up this identity really worth it?
Are you looking for external solutions for an internal problem?
Identifying what you are actually looking for help with can be confusing and overwhelming.
Often what you think the issue is, tends to be a symptom of the true meaning that sits beneath it.
On the surface you recognise that your inability to switch your mind off is causing you to constantly overthink “every bloody thing” but what’s actually behind this? Why do you have self doubt and lack of confidence in your capabilities?
Confidence isn’t the issue, being driven by an outdated identity born out of survival is. This is what really needs your attention.
The problem with holding everything together, is that at some point, you are going to come unstuck. You cannot avoid the fact that without intervention, these symptoms will continue to dominate your mind and body, pushing you further away from yourself, keeping you emotionally numb and mentally exhausted.
What’s the cost of you ignoring the stress and trying to push through regardless? Surly you want to address it before it leads to burnout and autoimmune conditions?
That internal unease you feel every time you are faced with a decision is your true identity trying to tell you there is a misalignment happening between your and your current identity.
It’s time to update your identity and create a factually accurate story.
who I’m helping…
I work with UK based creatives and creative professionals. Although every human is creative, I am specifically referring to individuals who are actively following creative pursuits as a profession or way of life. I’m not from a corporate background and as much as I’m not fluffy or ethereal in my demeanour, I am more aligned to creatively minded individuals.
I work with both men and women between the ages of 35 to 50 +. I don’t feel people starting out would benefit from my help. My specialities are better suited to people who are already established within their themselves and their careers.
Although you are willing, you are not currently managing your internal environment, specifically your stress or anxiety. At the moment, your relationship with yourself is somewhat of an after thought.
You are committed to improving the relationship you have with yourself as a matter of priority, through using sustainable practices that build habits to help you create long lasting change from the inside out.

the coach
Hi,
I’m Harriet, a fully qualified personal performance coach based in the UK. I offer private online 1:1 coaching for creative professionals, who are feeling lost and disconnected from themselves.
My ethos is to keep it simple and focus on the core elements that lead to long lasting change. I prefer to use streamlined approaches rather than overly complicated frameworks making it easier for you to digest and implement actions.
I spent the vast majority of my life avoiding myself and ignoring my emotional needs working and playing hard until I was exhausted and fed up from trying to please everyone except me.
The sooner you start to listen to what your body is trying to tell you the sooner you will reconnect to yourself and align to your genuine authentic identity.
Clients words
don’t sacrifice your potential for the sake of an outdated story!
No one is too old, too busy or too broken to be able to reconnect to themselves. The relationship you have with yourself is too important to side line any longer.
Once you start doing the work, in the end you’ll realise, it was all so simple…
