Discover how to turn self-criticism, over-giving, and second-guessing into deep self-trust, calm confidence, and relationships that actually feel good — all inside a nurturing, supportive community that’s here for you every step of the way.
You’re smart. You’re self-aware. You’ve done the therapy, read the books, and listened to the podcasts, but when someone’s upset with you, when things don’t go as planned, or when you make a mistake, that inner critic still comes roaring back.
The harder you try to keep everyone happy, the more disconnected you feel — from yourself, your truth, and the life you actually want to live. I know how painful it is to betray yourself just to keep the peace and I know exactly how to help you break that cycle, for good
This is the first stop on your Self-Solidarity journey—your personal invitation to the Open Circle. Join our free email community and receive thoughtful insights, practical tools, and heartfelt support to help you reconnect with your truest self, plus early access to retreats, trainings, and new offerings.
When you join, you get access to my complete system of tools and LIVE support for turning triggers into peace, self-doubt into self-trust, and painful patterns into personal power.
You’ll learn the Living-in-Symmetry Approach, my brain-friendly method that teaches you how to work with your thoughts and emotions (instead of fighting them), so you can find peace from the inside out.
From monthly group coaching to private sessions with me, plus our compassionate online community, you’ll never have to figure this out alone.
This isn’t about theory— it’s about real tools that work in the moment, whenever life gets messy. You’ll build your own Self-Solidarity Toolkit so you can come back to peace anytime, anywhere.
First, we break the cycle of self-blame and regret — because you can’t move forward when you’re still at war with yourself.
Next, we’ll dive into the relationships that trigger you most — and use them as your greatest teachers.
Finally, we’ll integrate all the tools into your daily life.
"I was so vulnerable and raw, but now, a year later, I’ve found peace and relief. The tools and support in this community have helped me let go of hurt and embrace more love and joy."
"I really needed to forgive them for being human… but even more, I needed to learn how to forgive myself. That’s been the biggest piece."
"I've recognized that when I'm not critical of myself, I’m less defensive and judgmental. Noticing when I'm being judgmental helps me understand how it affects others. This group creates a safe space to examine hidden beliefs, be vulnerable, and ask deep questions. Being seen and loved for who we truly are is huge."

I don’t think I could’ve enjoyed my family visit, if it weren’t for the love and relief I felt from our group call with Shawn. Thanks so much to everyone who stayed late to be with me in solidarity. I’m so glad I was able to make it after thinking I couldn’t. I’m really struggling right now despite all the deep work I’ve done but I have faith that it will get better because of this group. Love to all of you!
Best of all, I now know how to turn my own emotional pain into big gifts. And I’ve made life-long connections with open, fun, self-responsible folks who know it too. I highly recommend working with Shawn! Even if you think you’ve “done it all,” in working on yourself, this can change your life like nothing you’ve done before.
Had a great session with Shawn today. I've been feeling so trapped by my lack of vision and she really encouraged me to see that I am actually getting what I ask for, one baby step at a time. When I stop judging every moment of my life by what I think are the acceptable standards, I can actually appreciate what I've already got going for me. Feeling so much better today about possibilities and life.
