And in the post-pandemic world, nearly everyone has experienced something traumatic.
As a result:
- your relationships may have changed
- your religious beliefs might have been altered
- and you've probably become much less tolerant of perceived threats.
The good news is that the post-pandemic world has also become a place where you can (finally) acknowledge the harm that came from growing up in a patriarchal society where you were generally seen as less intelligent, less capable, and more emotional...
(as if emotions are a bad thing...)
...and now you can do something about it!
So, let's talk about conditioning...
Conditioning is the process by which humans develop belief systems, values, and priorities. Most of us are conditioned from birth to adopt the values, priorities, and beliefs of other people. These are presented by our caregivers (parents, extended family, teachers, mentors, religious leaders, etc.) as "the right way to live" or THE TRUTH.
Sometimes, you willingly adopt these things as your own because they make sense and they feel good. But often, the values, priorities, and beliefs given to you as a child don't align with who you become as an adult--and that creates a problem.
You either live by the truths of others, or you risk rejection from those you love most!
For women, this can be even more difficult, because we are socialized to doubt ourselves while trying to please everyone else and prove our worth through perfectionism. Sometimes, it's easier to go with the flow, denying our own truth to keep everyone else comfortable and happy.
The longer you deny your truth, the harder it is to break out of your self-doubt, people-pleasing, and perfectionistic patterns.
This betrayal of yourself eventually leads to a disconnect with your intuition, your True Self, the woman you are inside.
But it doesn't have to be this way!
Are you ready to take back your power, choose yourself as a priority, and heal your inner mean girl, so you can reconnect to the amazing woman inside?
What my clients are saying...
Clara A.
I wish I’d found Sandra 10 years ago! My life would have been much better. She’s amazing at sharing different approaches and perspectives on the many complex situations that come to me on a daily basis. As a business owner, and in my personal life, I’ve learned that I can control my thoughts and regulate my feelings, which gives me all the power over how I react to life. Coaching with Sandra has been life-changing. I’m grateful for her example and her presence in my life at just the right time.

Sandra has been such a joy to work with this past year. Together, we set personal and professional goals and, week by week, we chip away at them. What excitement and joy it has been to accomplish my goals! Sandra challenges my old patterns of thinking, encourages me to allow my feelings, she catches me when I stumble, and she celebrates my victories! Perhaps most importantly, she laughs with me and together, we find joy in the pain. Through her coaching, I’ve been liberated to be myself.
