Why Can’t I Just Be Me

Remove the Masks That Hide You from the World and from Yourself

Do you feel like you can drop your masks, speak your truth, and bring your whole self forward with the people around you? Your family, colleagues, partner, friends?

After coaching thousands of people over the past decade – people across the globe, at different professional levels, and different stages of life – we can confidently say that it is rare for someone to feel truly at ease with everyone around them, able to drop all the masks, personas, and self-protective habits.

In almost all relationships, both personal and professional, there is an element of holding back, which drives feelings of isolation and disconnection, and impedes the deeper connections that fuel a purposeful life.

In Why Can’t I Just Be Me, Melissa has set out to help you identify what is getting in your way, guide you to break the patterns that hold you back, and help you drop the isolating masks you’ve cultivated over the years. 

If you are ready to start taking full ownership of yourself and your story, to take the courageous step to reconnect with your whole self, shadow and all, Why Can’t I Just Be Me will take you on a journey to connect with the YOU you are meant to be. Prepare yourself to get real, to face the hard stuff, and to jumpstart some powerful shifts that will open you up to a life of meaning and fulfillment.

Why Can’t I Just Be Me is a guidebook – complete with worksheets, exercises, coaching tips and practical strategies – that will take you on a powerful journey within, illuminating what needs to shift and how to shift it, and giving you the tools to finally start living your life as YOU.
