From Silent Self-Doubt to Speaking Her Truthself
MEET MELANIE
The Challenge: Before Coaching
Melanie felt like she was living inside her own head — constantly analyzing, overthinking, and worrying she’d say or do the wrong thing.
As a teacher and someone who cared deeply about others, she had spent years trying to be the version of herself people expected:
• Second-guessing every decision
• Holding her voice back in conversations
• Afraid of being judged or rejected
• Hiding the parts of herself she feared others wouldn’t accept
She looked confident on the outside…
but inside, she questioned everything.
She wanted to feel free to speak up — not shrink down.
“Before coaching, I was stuck in my head, second-guessing myself and afraid to speak up. Carie’s caring way made me feel safe. For the first time, I’m not trying to be who everyone else wants me to be. I actually feel good about who I am and excited about my future.”
— Melanie, Teacher
The Turning Point: Her First Step
Melanie decided she no longer wanted to disappear into the background of her own life.
She reached out for support — terrified, but brave.
Through our coaching partnership and the Authentic Yes™ Framework, she began to:
• quiet the inner critic and trust her perspective
• practice expressing her wants, even when it felt uncomfortable
• discover who she is separate from expectations
• build confidence rooted in her true identity
And clarity — the kind she could feel — started showing up.
The Transformation: After Coaching
Melanie became someone she actually recognized — and liked.
She now:
• speaks up confidently in conversations
• trusts her voice and her decisions
• no longer molds herself to please others
• looks toward her future with excitement — not fear
• feels grounded in who she is becoming
Her self-worth now comes from within, not from trying to be “enough” for everyone else.
