Mindset Coaching for Women Who Write
Hello. I'm Dedrie.
As a seasoned healthcare and wellness practitioner with entrepreneurial dreams once buried beneath imposter syndrome—turned certified life coach—I know exactly what it’s like to carry big ideas, meaningful goals, and a genuine heart to serve...only to find yourself paralyzed and stuck in cycles of hesitation, overthinking, and fear of being seen.
I help smart-but-stuck women in the wellness space—online entrepreneurs, personal trainers, wellness coaches, life coaches, and network marketers/direct sales—overcome the anxiety tied to visibility, self-promotion, and putting themselves out there, so they can finally answer the call they’ve been keeping at arm’s length:
- the business launch
- the book promotion
- the speaking gig
- the podcast startup
- the call to action >>> the client, the sale...
...all with the goal of helping their clients improve their health and well-being.
You can feel the pull toward something bigger.
Yet instead of moving, you stay stuck in your head.
It's all you can think about.
You stall, tweak, overanalyze. You delay. And worse…you spiral.
You know exactly what you want, but you keep tripping over indecision.
You hold back.
Why? Because within that capable and ambitious brain of yours is a war going on.
A war between passionate desire and paralyzing fear.
Dedrie | Confidence Coach
The War
You Find Yourself...
- spending hours, days, weeks—hell, even years over-researching without ever taking meaningful action
- engaging your type A traits—perfecting and perfecting…never completing
- always imagining imminent failure, never considering you might flourish
- experiencing intense anxiety when being observed (performing, explaining, sharing, etc.)
Or Maybe This Is More Your Style...
- You'd gladly spin out, feel anything. But you cannot...because you're numb.
- You're disinterested, disenchanted, disengaged...about your big dream???
- You become apathetic, unmotivated...
- ...until you eventually bail, telling yourself and others you didn't really want it anyways.
But Underneath It All...
You mourn for what could be.
This, my friend, is not you failing. It's you freezing. Your nervous system's response to what your mind and body perceive as danger.
And the work is not to grind it out—it's to regulate. To rewire.
That's where being Somewhat Brave comes in. You don’t need to be fearless to chase your dreams—you just need to be *somewhat willing*.
Whether it’s pitching the passion project, launching your online business, or going after your dream client without the mental drama, self-doubt, and imposter syndrome...
Together—you and me—we'll turn hesitation into MOMENTUM...and learn to navigate that disabling urge to overanalyze, stall, and perfect it all first.
MY PHILOSOPHY
You don’t have a "know what to do" problem or a time management problem. You have an identity and feelings problem.
Planners, productivity hacks, and bullshit affirmations won’t fix procrastination if your identity is flawed and your self-worth, belief systems, and emotional management are out of whack; if your nervous system is shot, confused, and reacting to every relevant task like it's an attack; if your fear of judgement outweighs your ability to take action. And you certainly won't end up achieving the goals of the woman you want to be...
Until you start thinking like her. Until you embody her.
You're smart. You're capable. You're ambitious. You're also tired of the eat–sleep–stall–repeat cycle. You want more. We'll soothe your system, dig into the feelings you’ve been avoiding, toss the unhelpful mind chatter, and create a mental game plan. You'll learn how to manage your energy and mind so you can execute with clarity, confidence, and purpose.
AND...if you work with me, you'll start seeing results immediately. I don't dilly-dally. You won't either. There's been plenty of time for that already.
Bottom line? When you fix what’s happening on the inside, you stop procrastinating like it’s your job—and start showing up like it’s your life.
IMAGINE IF YOU COULD...
✔ Upload your video, make the offer, or finally launch the thing—without spinning out.
✔ Make progress with a sense of clarity, connection, authenticity...and dare I say actual pride!
✔ Stop hiding behind excuses and just do all the things that will finally move your business forward.
Taking massive action and achieving goals requires understanding why—and how—your foot has been riding the brake…and how to release it.
Your mental wall is meant to be torn down, and that work is easier and faster when you have a coach helping you uncover the limits you’ve (unintentionally) imposed on yourself.
- Afraid to post about your side gig you secretly wish was your real gig?
- Can't bring yourself to ask for the sale?
- Have all the makings of a brilliant podcast but worry what others might think?
- Need to find clients for your wellness business but struggling with a serious case of imposter syndrome?
Whatever unhelpful story has been etched in your brain about why you can't/don't/won't put yourself out there for fear of the exposure it requires...
We can remedy that.
