Author, Teacher, Speaker of the Power of Self-Permission

Text Box: Thanks for visiting my website, and considering your own journey of self-permission. Do any of these statements sound familiar to you? “I’ve always dreamed of a career in theater, but…” I would further my education, but…” I would’ve applied for that promotion, but…” Things have been really bad in my relationship for a long time. I would leave, but…” “I really hate my job! I get nauseated just thinking about it, but…” If I had a dollar for every time I’ve heard some variation of these statements followed by the many reasons that hold us back I would be rich. But, I’ve learned that the reasons we give for engaging in conscious or unconscious self-restraint or suppressive behavior is rarely what’s holding us back. The truth is, if all these so called hindrances were removed, we would simply come up with something else to justify our apprehensiveness towards our success. The real reason we continue to experience the shallow end of life is our inability to give ourselves permission to be, to do, and to insist on anything different.

Do you ever feel guilty or find it difficult to ask others for things you want or need?

“Asking” is more than a notion, and certainly easier said than done. If you’re like most, you find it extremely hard to ask for the things you need, want or work for. And most likely, this inability to “ask” is driven by guilt or not wanting to appear needy.

Using the analogy of successful plant growth, Pennie tells you what it takes to harness your courage of asking. She also discusses the importance of having an environment that enriches every aspect of your life; and how a growth thinking mindset puts you in a position of increase.

Text Box: My journey of learning to give myself permission started in 2001 on a flight from California to Missouri. Since, I’ve discovered much about myself — my strengths, my limits, and my potential. But the greatest discovery was the many inhibitions and emotional shackles that I somehow acquired over the years, which kept me imprisoned within myself. The greatest wealth we have as individuals is a life without limitations. Unfortunately, over the span of our lives, we have learned a host of inhibitions that have caused us to betray our own purpose and quality of life. This self-betrayal becomes even more damning through our unhealthy need for the validation and reassurance (permission) of others, which often delays or denies our success in life and love. If we remain solely dependent on others to give us permission to live beyond our inhibitions, we will always be at risk of being no more than a slave to the circumstances we face, and our emotions become the “property of others.” It’s time that you take the limits off your potential Join me at one of my intimate seminars, or contact me for your next workshop or retreat to start Giving Yourself Permission TODAY!
