Jean-Marie Bottequin
Life Coach, WAPP
Woman: Fight your urge for perfectionism! Many women suffer from the compulsion to deliver even better results. There is nothing wrong with that in principle, but it often leads to delays and excessive workloads. In order for women to get into leadership positions, they have to leave perfectionism at home and learn to sometimes just be content.
Perceive your inner family
By establishing contact and this communication with our body, we create the prerequisite for a serious change in the way we treat ourselves. We trace our prohibitions in order to be able to give permission where we have been restricted up to now. Let us now look at those parts of ourselves that restrict us: we find them in our inner family.
Strengthen your own personality in the long term
On the basis of a fairy tale ("The Seal Woman"), we work out the gaps and pitfalls of our own personality in a playful way, step by step.
Through various exercises and role plays, the female participants become aware of their own identity.
The goal is to return to the origin, to the natural "wild" nature of the woman.
The further goal is to learn to be independent and to determine one's own life, both in good and difficult times.
We know sentences like: "Be modest; adapt yourself; don't think too much; don't get the idea of getting out of line; be kind and say yes, even if it hurts and if you are almost choking on the word...".
To follow such a loveless value system in our society leads to extreme inner conflict.
"If we give up our true needs to exchange ourselves for the comfort of a golden cage, we will be grafted with the views of the dried-up old perfectionists". (Clarissa Pinkola Estès)

"A woman hungry for her true soul life may appear elegant and well-fed from the outside, but inside she is a wide open throat with pleadingly outstretched arms and claws". (Clarissa Pinkola Estès)

Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
My dear sister, your life hasn't been easy... You aren’t functioning at your best, or feeling like yourself. You don't feel quite like your old self, but also not like the woman you want to be. You feel guilty for not being better, but simultaneously you feel straight-up exhausted! You’ve spent your life trying to be perfect at the expense of your own happiness. You’ve put yourself last for so long, that it feels selfish to think about what you need.
You are seeking to live authentically, to create real connections with others, and to feel in control of your body and your life. You are looking for a sounding board where your thoughts and emotions can surface and be explored without judgment. You are looking for a place to untangle your thoughts, emotions, memories, and aspirations, and create a positive meaning from it all.
I Will Help You:
Clearly set and maintain boundaries in a way that is kind to yourself and others.
Confidently ask for what you want, and declare what you need — without feeling guilty.
Develop a strong, positive sense of self that is balanced and well-rounded.
Renovate your relationship with your body.
Connect with other women who empower and nourish you.
Identify thoughts and scenarios that invite challenges in.
Gain clarity on what’s keeping you stuck, so you can make choices that are right for you.
Connect with your intuition, and learn to listen to it.
Learn practical skills to take back control of your life!
