I’m a Hollywood veteran of grueling hours, nonstop stress, ego-driven drama, unbelievable pressure, and endless people-pleasing, so I know all about being successful, driven, and at the top of your game – and still struggling with the private moments nobody sees that do not match the public wins, and leave you feeling like you’ve gotta just push through it
I see it all the time in the successful high-achieving leaders, executives, founders and entrepreneurs I work with who frequently experience sporadic swings in confidence, random spurts of self-doubt, stunningly severe people-pleasing issues, annoyingly persistent bouts of imposter syndrome, and profoundly disturbing musings about their worthiness
These are people who’ve built incredible things and know how to take care of business. They’re people who lead teams, launch big ideas, and hit impressive milestones. They’re crushin’ it on paper and yet, underneath that shiny polished surface, they’re quietly navigating success on the outside, but still questioning themselves on the inside
Have a stressful, demanding job with unrelenting pressure, but despite your success, still doubt yourself, question your decisions, and wonder if you’re unworthy
Spend your waking hours keeping up team morale, satisfying customers, and meeting investors’ expectations, and aren’t sure how much longer you can keep it up
Need to psych yourself up going to work, then mentally replay the day’s conversations coming home, but say very different things than you actually did at the time
Look around the workplace you’ve put your life and soul into building and find yourself in a panic about what the hell would happen if you messed up and lost it all
Constantly compare yourself to other people, measuring yourself against them, invariably coming up short, and always end up feeling inferior or just not enough
Enjoy running a successful business you created doing something you love, but deep down inside believe it was a matter of timing, good luck, and fooling people
Assume that everyone would judge and ridicule you if they knew what you really were, so you make sure they only see the you that conforms to their expectations
Think that if you know what’s gonna happen tomorrow, next week, next month, and next year you’ll be safely in control of your life and can finally breathe and relax
Are sleep-deprived, constantly stressed, terminally anxious, and only feel safe being yourself when you’re all alone, soaking in your tub with a drink in your hand
Regularly beat yourself up for being back in the saddle of not feeling confident and doubting your abilities and decisions, and then feel even shittier about yourself
And so…
You listen to self-help audio books or podcasts to learn about what you could be doing and how you could be thinking
You recite affirmations in the mirror every morning telling yourself that you are a successful and accomplished woman
You go to a therapist to try and discover something that happened in your childhood and made you are the way you are
But –
None of that stuff has moved the needle and nothing’s really changed
I know. I’ve been there. I did all those things too. And I got nowhere fast…
Our brain is an ancient supercomputer designed to ensure we survived but we want to thrive and our brain wasn’t really built to help us do that
Most of us are unaware that we’re operating within our own invisible feedback loop that’s dictating our survival by keeping us safely existing in what we accept as truth.
We’re really good at blowing off things that don’t fit in with our beliefs and ignoring things we don’t want to see.
While that big loud voice in our brain tells us that we’re unworthy or we’re not enough or we’re too much, drowning out the voice of our heart assuring us of our worth and unique brilliance.
So over time, our confidence erodes as we live our lives being fearful of exposure and censure, doubting ourselves, questioning our worth, trying to control everything, and conforming to expectations.
Just because it’s the loudest voice in the room doesn’t mean we have to listen to it…
You knew you had what it takes to become the person you wanted to be
because you were no longer existing on autopilot in an invisible feedback loop?
You understood exactly what made you capable of achieving the things you do
because you owned all your accomplishments and weren’t guilty articulating them?
You weren’t scared to death of uncertainty and avoided taking perceived risks
because you could see the similarities that made unfamiliar things already known?
You weren’t always stressed and anxious and frustrated about the future
because you’d stopped trying to control everything to obtain specific outcomes?
You never doubted yourself or second-guessed your decisions ever again
because you’d been shown that you are completely safe when trusting yourself?
You didn’t endlessly compare yourself to other people and consistently come up short
because you knew your unique brilliance and not people’s opinions, makes you enough?
Working in the brutal environment of the Hollywood film industry isn’t easy –
the hours are grueling
the egos are challenging
the results are non-negotiable
the working conditions are strenuous
the next job we get is always an unknown
Each new movie or TV show we work on –
has a different script
has a different location
has a different film studio
has a different cast and crew
has a different set of challenges
Success for us means having a mindset that embraces our worthiness and an attitude that radiates confidence
That mindset and attitude come from acquiring and developing some extremely powerful tools –
We aren’t trapped in an invisible feedback loop and mindlessly existing on autopilot because each movie we work on is different and flexibility is key to our success
We fully own our accomplishments and don’t guilt trip about acknowledging them because they got us where we are and articulating them is what gets us hired
We’ve trained ourselves to perceive similarities instead of differences in everything because seeing similarities turns the unknown into something familiar to us
We know exactly what we can bring to the table so we don’t fear uncertainty or risk because we’ve learned that we can trust ourselves and the decisions we make
We feel confident and at ease living as our unapologetically authentic selves because we know we’re recognized and valued for our unique brilliance
Needless to say, most people don’t work in a brutal environment like Hollywood
But their workplace is filled with toxic bosses, demanding clients, and competitive colleagues
These powerful tools are actually universal but they’re things most people never think about because –
And the worst part is, most of us go through life without even knowing that all that shit just disappears when we acquire and develop these powerful tools
That’s what I mean when I say that I see you and I know you and it’s the reason I created the Hollywood Confidence Formula
I burned out and ran away from my high-paying, soul-sucking job in the Hollywood film industry doubting my own worth, myself and my choices
In a 180-degree turn, I embarked on an adventure that took me from LA to Asia, from Asia to India, and on to Eastern and Western Europe before returning
All around the world, I met successful high-achieving women leaders and entrepreneurs who all seemed to share some disturbing beliefs about themselves
And finding statistics stating that 80% of women secretly feel unworthy and of those, 92% believe they lack the confidence to ever be truly successful, I got passionate about changing that paradigm
Right after I threw up…
Confidence is my jam and igniting it in other women became my mission
I embody that mission by showing women how to awaken to their worth, ignite their confidence, and escape the invisible feedback loop they’re existing in
My programs are definitely not ego-coddling therapy sessions, or hand-holding strategy meetings, or cliche-laden superficial conversations
They’re inspiring spaces of discovery and growth that are completely relaxed, filled with humor, and devoid of judgment, while being totally real, highly focused, and very explicit
I created my signature Hollywood Confidence Formula programs in celebration of you – the worthy, confident, uniquely brilliant creator of your life, your success, and your vision for the future
The Hollywood Confidence Formula awakens you to your worth so that you can ignite your confidence and take ownership of your power to embody an alignment of your outward success with your inner truth
I created it based on my life in the film industry to help you develop –
an attitude that embraces worthiness
a mindset that radiates confidence
ease at being your authentic self
I lay it all out for you without any –
devaluing drama
trivial platitudes
bullshit jargon
in a way that you don’t have to to figure it all out for yourself
And the fact that you can achieve results in a matter of months is worth celebrating…
