Tame the voice in your head that says you're falling short.
If you push yourself hard, care about doing things properly, and still can't shake the feeling you're falling short, this is for you.
Hi, I'm Sol, a mental health coach, but think of me as a mental fitness trainer.
I help people develop the psychological strength and flexibility to tame the busy, critical inner voice that says they're not enough.
I also help them get clear on how they want to show up in the world, so they can create a life that feels meaningful, fulfilling and joyful.
"You'll still care. You'll still push. It just won't cost you the same way."
What if enough actually felt like enough?
Imagine your sense of worth not being tied to your output, not contingent on how much you gave, how hard you pushed, or whether anyone noticed, but simply enough, as you are.
Imagine waking up and not immediately scanning for what you failed to do yesterday. Starting the day from a place of steadiness rather than deficit.
And imagine having room for more than relief: knowing what truly matters to you, speaking up for it with confidence, and being fully present with the people you love, so that life feels less like something to get through and more like something to enjoy.
Maybe you...
- Struggle to switch off, because you're constantly trying to problem solve or improve, making it difficult to feel present.
- Say yes when you mean no, and find it difficult to speak your needs, because you want people to see you as capable and committed.
- Spend too long on things, perfecting them to avoid criticism, slowing your progress and potential.
- Stay busy so you don't have to sit with the feeling that it's still not enough.
My training is built around three key skills.
Think of it like working with a personal trainer. You don't get physically fit by reading about exercise, you get fit by doing the reps, and these are the skills we practise together.
Awareness
Getting good at catching and unhooking from the unhelpful, and often hidden, judgements, assumptions and stories that keep you feeling stuck.
Acceptance
Learning to allow a challenging inner experience to be as it is, without struggling against it, so you can see things clearly and have the freedom to choose a wise response.
Action
Developing an inspiring vision of what you want your life to look like, and building the courage to make it a reality.
