Get ready, because this conversation is going to make you rethink the voice inside your head! 

I had the absolute honour of chatting with Sabrina Trobak, a registered clinical counsellor, clinical supervisor, speaker, and author of the book, The Voice That Lied. 

With over 15 years in practice and 20 years as a teacher, Sabrina has guided thousands of people to untangle their self-doubt and finally see their own worth.

In this episode of Thrive After 45™, we go deep into the quiet voice that says, "you are not enough" and how it's secretly been running the show for so many of us. 

Sabrina’s journey from a teacher to a sought-after counsellor came from her own moment of realizing how deeply her core beliefs were affecting her life...even landing her in the hospital from stress.

We talk about the power of "baby steps" in managing anxiety, why the opposite of anxiety is confidence, and how failure can actually be a huge confidence booster. 

For anyone in midlife feeling like things are changing and new anxieties are popping up, Sabrina shares a powerful insight: you didn't lose yourself; you likely just never had the time to figure out who you were in the first place.

This whole conversation is a wake-up call to stop surviving and start living. 

We also talk about:

• How to write a book about mental health for people who don't like to read (hello, chunking!).
• Why the words you use...like saying "I choose to" instead of "I need to" - can completely change your sense of empowerment.
• How to catch your anxiety on the upswing (at a "two out of four") before it hits its peak.
• Why your life after 45 is the perfect time to explore your passions and step into who you want to be.

Sabrina’s wisdom is a gentle but firm reminder that you are way more resilient than you think you are. It's time to choose yourself and start creating the life you want.
