Unshaming the Self ™
Letting go of guilt, obligation & “good girl” programming — and understanding who you’ve been taught to be.
There are things you believe about yourself…that you didn’t consciously choose.
Ideas about what is “too much” , what is “not enough”
What needs to be hidden, softened, or proven.
Ways you speak to yourself that don’t feel kind — but feel familiar.
A constant second-guessing ?
A quiet holding back?
A need to get it “right” — before you act?
And over time, those ideas start to feel like truth.
But not everything you carry is yours.
Some of it was learned. Some of it was inherited.
Some of it kept you safe once — but no longer serves you now.
This is not because something is wrong with you.
It’s because, over time, you’ve been shaped by expectations, roles, and voices
that were never fully yours.
"You are not “too much” or “not enough.”
You’ve just been taught to see yourself that way."
Unshaming the Self™ is not about fixing you.
It’s about understanding what you’ve been carrying — and deciding what you’re ready to put down.
It is about reclaiming personal authority.
Before we can lead fully, we must examine the quiet shame, internalised judgement, and inherited expectations that shape how we see ourselves.
Unshaming the Self ™ is a powerful reflective experience that invites participants to question those narratives and reconnect with their own authority.
This workshop is where that begins to change.
THIS IS FOR YOU IF…
You don’t need to tick every box — but if you feel this, you’ll know.
You overthink even simple decisions
You feel guilty putting yourself first
You question yourself — even when you know you’re capable
You find it hard to fully express what you think or feel
You carry a quiet pressure to be “good”, “right”, or “acceptable”
You often feel like you’re holding yourself back — but don’t fully know why
WHAT THIS IS (AND WHAT IT ISN’T)
This is not a workshop that will try to “fix” you.
You are not broken.

WHAT YOU’LL WALK AWAY WITH
Not surface-level motivation. But something far more useful:
• Language for what you’ve been feeling
• Awareness of your internal patterns
• A clearer sense of self
• The beginning of self-trust
• A different relationship with your inner voice.
THE EXPERIENCE
This is a curated, in-person experience.
Not a lecture.
Not a seminar.
A space designed for:
• reflection
• conversation
• gentle but honest exploration
You will not be forced to share.
But you will be invited to think, notice, and understand.
EVENT DETAILS
• Perth CBD
• Late May 2026 (Final date TBC)
• Half-day experience
• Limited to 18–20 participants
When that relationship begins to shift — everything else starts to move with it.
YOUR NEXT STEP
This work is not quick.
It asks for honesty. Reflection.
And a willingness to look at yourself differently.
But for those who are ready —
It changes how you show up, in every room that matters.
In the spirit of unity and respect, I acknowledge and pay my heartfelt respect to the traditional custodians of Whadjak country, the Noongar people.
I stand on this ancient land with deep appreciation for their enduring connection to country, culture, and community.
As we gather and work together, may we honor the wisdom of the Noongar elders, past, and present and strive to nurture a harmonious relationship with the land, its stories, and its people.
