Haha, this is such an accurate demonstration of what I was talking about in the audio above 😁😁😁

An unplanned episode about inner state. Why I quit coffee and how the body plays a more important part in our learning process than we think. ⬆️

Why self-correction matters? Example ⬆️ You need to ask only one question: “Have I heard a native speaker say so?”

P.S. this is also a good example of receiving mental images: When you feel a lot but don’t have the language for your feelings and experiences, it’s hard. You feel blocked when you speak. The exercise that helps here is to find native speakers who are going thru the same experiences and learn the words that go need from them. Look at the images above again: they have the words that you didn’t have and you can SEE and FEEL these words deeply in your body. You can remember multiple stories of how you experienced these words. You received the message and probably didn’t even pay attention to the words. It means the words were precise. Now, our job is to pay attention to these words- to HOW they said it, not only to WHAT they said.

A message for women ⬆️⬆️⬆️ Listen when you’re alone♥️

Many people are still trying to be pleasing—and it’s costing them. One of the most painful patterns I see in advanced professionals is this: They hold themselves back because they’re trying to be pleasing. They dilute their language. They soften their presence. They hide behind “correctness.” They try to sound safe instead of sounding like themselves. They avoid bold expression because they fear being judged. And the result is predictable: They can speak English, but they can’t lead in English. They can communicate, but they can’t command a room. They can explain, but they can’t influence. My work is about changing that. Not by turning you into someone else—but by helping you become more authentically you, with a voice that matches the level of person you already are. Some people will always prefer coaches who make them feel good. I’m not here to make you feel good. I’m here to make you free. Free from autopilot. Free from limiting beliefs. Free from the speaking behaviors that keep you small. Free from the version of you that is “technically fine” but not fully expressed. If you want comfort, I’m not your person. If you want expansion, responsibility, and a standard that changes how you speak—and how you lead—then DM “fluency”
