I started my coaching and teaching journey like most new coaches do, determined to help people (women specifically) become the best version of themselves. All of my classes, my social media posts, my networking spiels were all about how my coaching method would help you be the best version of you.
Then I heard something on social media that changed my whole perspective. I really wish I could remember what did it. That there was one specific post that did it, but it was really this slow awakening. The diverse voices I was hearing from that shifted me away from the language of "best".
Because to say I coach you to be the "best" version of yourself means that all previous version were not good, that they were bad versions of you until you were the good girl and finally got it right. And that is just BS.
All version of you are good because all versions of you were learning the lessons needed to get you to the next version of you. Best also implies that there is a finish. That at some point all of the inner work is done and you are complete. And if you have done any sort of inner work then you know that there is always more work on ourselves to do.
My coaching business has always been Authentic Victories for a reason because from the inception of this business, authenticity has been a core foundational value for me. It is shows that even as a coach with all the tools and the training that sometimes even I take a while to get the message.
So I don't help you become the best version of you because that shrinks you. I help you become the most authentic version of you because that's the version that deserves to be seen. That's the version that you have buried under layers of guilt, shame and a whole ton of should'ves and would'ves.
You being authentic tells the world that there is beauty in what is unique about each and every one of us. Your weirdness is what the world needs more of!
