The Power of Seeing Yourself

“The more you know yourself, the better your relationship with the rest of the world.” ~Esther Perel

True self-awareness is not a surface-level exercise. It’s a deep, sometimes uncomfortable journey into the mirror — not just to see what’s reflected back, but to truly see who stands there. Mirror work is powerful because it asks for honesty. It asks for courage. It asks for the willingness to let go of the stories others have written about who you should be and instead embrace who you are at 100%.

Mirror work has been my best practice and my worst practice. Many years ago, it took everything I had to just look in the mirror to put on my makeup (another way to hide that we can talk about later). After practicing mirror work, the High 5 Habit (learned by Mel Robbins), and by being grateful to the woman I see staring back at me, I’ve been able to truly see who I’m meant to be and I think others are seeing that as well.

This process isn’t easy. It requires peeling back layers of expectation, judgment, and fear. It means releasing the need for validation and stepping into a space where authenticity becomes the only standard. When that happens, something remarkable unfolds — the world begins to respond differently. People start to see you as you see yourself: grounded, confident, and aligned.

Coaching is the bridge between who you think you are and who you truly are. Through guided reflection and exploration, it becomes possible to uncover innate gifts, recognize learned talents, and rediscover forgotten desires. These are the pieces of identity that often get buried under years of “shoulds” and “musts.” When they resurface, clarity follows. Purpose follows. Freedom follows.

Knowing who you are is only the beginning. Understanding how you are — the patterns, habits, and motivations that shape your choices — brings depth to that awareness. And when you uncover why you are — the deeper meaning behind your experiences and values — you begin to live with intention.

From that place of self-acceptance, new opportunities naturally appear. Doors that once seemed closed begin to open. Relationships shift. Confidence grows. Life starts to feel less like something to manage and more like something to create.

Authenticity is not a destination; it’s a daily practice of truthfulness and alignment. When you see yourself clearly, the world reflects that clarity back to you. And that’s where transformation begins — in the mirror, with the courage to look, the willingness to learn, and the commitment to live as the truest version of yourself.
