Women Say YES to YOU (and why you don’t)

How Guilt Manipulates You (and How to Stop Letting It Run Your Life) |

Let’s explore how guilt often may be motivating you to say yes to others even when you want to say no, leading to: resentment, exhaustion, and losing connection with what they truly want.

What if guilt is an internalized program with manipulation rooted in old beliefs—often learned in childhood—that prioritizes pleasing others over honoring your personal boundaries?

Can’t wait to share more on this and have you put into practice some new ways to start bringing more of what you truly want in your life instead of what you “think you should want”

Letting Go: The Cost of Holding On (Say Yes to You with Claudia Braun)

We explore why letting go matters by focusing on the cost of holding on—how repeated thoughts and attachments can trap us in anger, fear, worry, and exhaustion.

My client’s story of an intense workplace anger led her to burnout and a “small” life, and how recognizing what she was holding onto helped her begin to change.

Your mind loops on upsetting events, fueling resentment and stress, and says letting go starts with noticing the thought you’re feeding and the story you’re building.

Holding on to attachment to “shoulds,” resistance to change, and staying stuck in past beliefs are part of the letting go process

What’s a habit or belief you’re attached to, share one you’d like support to work on!

Your Walk for Peace: The 80/20 Rule That Changes Everything

I was inspired to speak about the Buddhist monks’ “Walking for Peace” movement with the 80/20 rule as a practical framework for creating personal peace. Because peace's an internal practice—not dependent on external circumstances—we can use everyday triggers like traffic, relationships, politics, and life stressors as “teachers” that reveal where peace is being lost.

Let’s explore the 80/20 rule as prioritizing peace-building habits 80% of the time (self-care, boundaries, movement, nourishing food, time with meaningful people, and saying yes/no with discernment)

Remember: Focusing on the physical body while neglecting the “internal body,” can/will lead to long-term consequences.

I invite you to open the “gift” of the 80/20 rule, commit to peace regardless of the “weather,” and take advantage of your personal “invitation to peace” session to identify where you give yourself away losing your peace so you can shift your day-to-day life and experience true inner peace.
