Today marks the second anniversary of my book, “Why Hypnobirthing Matters” being published. Wooo hooo!! These days I am so proud and grateful to have the opportunity to share my work and would love EVERYONE to read it. When it was first published however I went into COMPLETE MELTDOWN and didn’t want anyone to even look at it!

The ‘vulnerability hangover’ I felt went on for days; I was terrifed of what people would think, whether they’d like it, agree with it, what they’d think of me. That fear of exposure and being judged, the hunger for approval was so physically palpable as I shut myself down.

I forgot to use the tools I share with my clients… until I remembered and dug deep to acknowledge and change my irrational thinking. Brené Brown’s work on vulnerability and shame is so wonderful and I always recommend watching her TED talk from 2010 to understand why we have to embrace vulnerability. How vulnerability is the birth place of creativity and when we have the courage to live whole heartedly, everything changes.

Fears are not to be feared… With my clients we uncover why we have fear, learn to identify our fears and explore how to harness them as a vehicle for success, transforming them into a positive force in life. For on the other side of fear lies….. EVERYTHING

by the way…. I know you’re wondering what to get me for my second birthday – a review on amazon or pinter&martin’s websites would be divine….
