Stop going along with things you don't want.
4-week 1:1 coaching — $797 founding rate
1:1 coaching to help you see whose reaction is shaping what you go along with, so you stop ending up in plans, relationships, decisions, and situations you never actually wanted.
This is what it looks like
It looks like your friend asking to borrow money again. You already know she hasn’t paid you back the last few times. You think, “I don’t want to do this again.” But then it’s right there, she’s going to feel some type of way, this might turn into something, you might have to explain yourself. So you go along with it. And then you’re irritated the second the conversation ends.
It looks like your mom calling and telling you what she needs. Not asking, but telling you, when you had plans. You were finally going to rest. But you can already feel it: she’s going to guilt you, she’s going to act like you don’t care, this is going to turn into something bigger. So you go along with it. And then you sit there frustrated, knowing you just gave up your time again.
It looks like someone asking you something personal you don’t want to answer. And instead of saying, “I’d rather not get into that,” you laugh it off, give a half-answer, or just tell them anyway because you don’t want the moment to get awkward.
It doesn't feel like you have a choice
You’re not confused about what you want. There’s a part of you that knows immediately. But right after that comes something else. How is this going to land? Are you about to have to deal with their reaction?
And that takes over. So instead of going with what you actually want, you go with what avoids the reaction.
That's why this keeps happening
This isn't about not knowing how to push back. It's about what pushing back has meant in your life.
At some point, being honest came with a reaction you didn’t want. Someone got upset. Someone withdrew. Someone made you feel bad for it. Someone turned it into something bigger than it needed to be.
So now, your nervous system skips the part where you check in with yourself and goes straight to keeping things calm, getting through the moment and dealing with it later. You do what they want, so it doesn’t turn into something.
That’s why it feels automatic.
You already know what this feels like. And you’re probably already thinking about the last time it happened.
This is where it starts to change
You stop going along with it just to get through the moment and start responding in a way you don’t have to fix afterward.
What this coaching helps you do
This work is about catching that moment before it’s already gone.
So instead of overriding it and dealing with it later, you can feel it, stay with that feeling and respond from there.
It can look like not answering right away when someone puts you on the spot and saying “I’m not able to do that” without adding five reasons why.
It can look like letting someone be disappointed without immediately fixing it and not adjusting what you’re saying mid-conversation based on their reaction.
It also looks like leaving the moment without replaying it over and over afterward.
What you're paying for
You're not paying for better wording.
You're working directly on the exact situations where this keeps happening, so you can stop going along with things before you've even had a chance to check in with yourself.
This work focuses on those moments directly, so you can experience: "I didn't go along with that and I'm okay."
Because once that happens, it stops feeling like something you can't handle.
You're already dealing with the cost of this, in your time, your energy and the things you keep agreeing to that you don't actually want.
Why this is application only
This work requires you to look at the specific situations you usually move past quickly, not the version you explain after, but the actual moment where you felt it, ignored it and went along with it anyway.
That's what we work with. And not everyone is ready to slow that down yet.
So the application helps me see if this is the right fit for where you are.
If it's a fit, you'll receive an invitation to work together. If it's not, I'll let you know.
You'll start with a short application. I'll review it personally.
If you're tired of going along with things you didn't want and dealing with it afterward, this is where that changes.
