Disclaimer: Details about this client has been anonymized to protect her identity. She was one of the first employees in the region. She started from ground up as a barista, and eventually became regional manager reporting directly to the owners. It was a career she loved! She enjoyed the warmth of belonging to a company with "family values". She felt she was making a significant impact on the people she led. She felt valued for the contribution she makes. Then the leadership changed. Their company's stock price started going down. Artificial targets were imposed from the top. Emphasis was given to meeting metrics more than doing what's right. She felt torn between loyalty to the owners, and caring for her team. She felt attacked every time she tried to point out that the new processes were just making things worse. She was given the biggest problems because of her track record. And she ended up overworked, stressed, undervalued and unappreciated. Her health started to deteriorate. Her family life was sacrificed. And in the end, she was let go. She needed a therapist to help her make sense and deal with what happened. And she did make some progress. But after 7 years she would still get triggered by the memory of what happened. The fear of it happening again made her hesitant to get back into the workforce. Until we met. And I helped her Release! the trauma. Her body started to relax. She noticed that the experience is now firmly in her past. And she regained her confidence in herself! That same week, she convinced a colleague to pay for her training and hire her as an executive coach. She started the next Monday. And the last time we met, she has completed her training and was starting to work with clients. I share this with you because trauma caused by thoughtless management and being let go has become more and more common recently. Know that it's not something that someone can just ignore, and jump back into the workplace. They're locked in a dis-empowered state. And the baggage from this experience will affect their future reactions, relationships and choices! If you know anyone who has experienced this type of trauma and needs help moving on. Let them know that Release! can help relieve their pain and put their experience behind. They can connect with me at michelle@maviebelle.com to find out how. With love, Michelle ​www.maviebelle.com​ Ma Vie Belle - Love your Life! |

Well, my ego has taken a beating many times in my lifetime. But this time I'm sharing is something I believe most of you can relate to. I've always been proud of my performance at work. It was a matter of fierce pride that "my work speaks for itself". I was good. I was on the ball. I was a recognized expert. I gained respect and my reputation preceded me... It was part of my identity. So switching to being a business owner, particularly a service business, was hard! Launching an offer and...
Disclaimer: Details about this client has been anonymized to protect his identity. Reader, have you ever heard of anything as bizzare? He came to me with a challenge. His goal was to earn a million dollars a year. But he can't seem to get past $50K a month, no matter what he tried. A client would cancel at the last minute. Or someone would ask for a discount. He would get close like $49,760 but never more than $50,000. In a panic, I wondered "What kind of limiting belief causes that?!?" But I...
I didn't know what I did this time. But my mom was on a roll again. "You ungrateful child! I drove you to swim classes. I took you to piano lessons. We paid for you to go to the best schools. I stayed up to teach you when you were a kid." and on and on the list went. I couldn't get a word in edgewise. And even if I did, it would just prolong the torture. Better keep my mouth shut and ride it out as usual. But this time I swore the "I will never be dependent on anyone ever again!" When I grow...
