Pressure is part of the job - self-doubt doesn’t have to be

You’re good at what you do. That’s not in question.

What brings women to this work is usually a gap - between how capable they are and what they can actually access when the pressure is on.

The conversation you prepared for and still came out of thinking: why couldn't I find myself in there? The meeting where you knew you were right and watched yourself go quiet anyway. The thing you've said a hundred times in your head and zero times out loud in the room where it needed to be said.

That gap is not a confidence problem. It's not something more strategy will fix. It's the body running on patterns that made sense once, and now get in the way.

That's what this work is for.

Feel confidence and self-belief in rooms that weren’t built with you in mind

You struggle to switch off. Five o'clock comes and you're still in it - running replays, preparing for tomorrow, second-guessing what you said. Not much left in the tank when you get home. Sometimes you find yourself fantasising about going to live on an island on your own for a week. Not because you don't love your people. Just because you are so tired of being switched on.

If this is you…

You've read all the self-help books. Listened to all the confidence podcasts. Done the strengths assessments. Consumed more content on socials about self-belief in senior meetings than you dare tell your boss. You can describe your patterns with impressive accuracy. The clarity hasn't changed what happens in the uncomfortable moments.

You go into every big meeting braced and ready instead of relaxed and assured that you've got this. You've rehearsed it. You've given yourself the best possible internal pep talk in the ten minutes before the call. You walk in and hand the floor back to the person who's more certain, less right.

That’s exactly the gap this deep inner work is designed for.

What becomes possible

Not transformation claims. Specific things.

  • You make the clean decision without the second-guess.

  • You stay in the hard conversation, grounded, instead of going quiet or over-explaining your way through it.

  • You say the thing you've been sitting on for ages, taking up your headspace everyday. You don’t say it perfectly. But you say it out loud. And from a steady place rather than from bracing.

  • You stop absorbing other people's dysregulation and carrying it home with you.

  • You do the hard things you weren't able to do before. Without even thinking about it. You just do them.

  • Things that used to consume your thoughts for hours - you're just less bothered. There's less self-doubt noise. Which means more room for everything else.

You start to notice your nervous system activating before it takes you offline. And you have something real and concrete to deal with it.

How we work together

Format: This work is done 1:1 so that we can go deep and get shifts no group programme would be able to reach.

Investment: $3,388 for the full programme, valid across a 10-month window. We work at the pace that fits what's actually happening in your life - usually monthly, sometimes more frequently if you're going through a challenging period.

Session shape - here's an example of how this typically unfolds:

  • Session 1: 2 hours — this is where we lay the frame, establish the language, do the first body-level work, and give you something concrete to take away immediately. It's always the longest session for a reason.

  • Sessions 2, 4, 6, 8: 45 minutes each — integration checkpoints. Shorter, focused, useful for consolidating what's shifted and orienting toward what's next.

  • Sessions 3, 5, 7, 9: 1.5 hours each — the deeper working sessions. This is where the body-level work gets done.

  • Session 10: 1.5 hours — consolidation. We review the arc, ground what's changed, and you leave with clarity on what you're carrying forward.

The rhythm is deliberate. Fast-forwarding doesn't work for this kind of change. The nervous system needs reps, not just insight.

Where: Online, over Zoom.

What's included: Access to the Self Aware Women Leaders Resource Library - a curated set of tools and frameworks for the work between sessions. Nervous system regulation exercises and audios. Communication frameworks. Tools for the specific situations that come up most. It's there when you need it. Not homework.

What the approach actually is

What actually happens is simpler than it sounds.

It's a mix of talking and paying attention to what's happening in your body in real time.

Most people are used to explaining their situation from the neck up - what they think is going on, what they should do, what they've already tried.

But often, the part that's keeping them stuck isn't in the thinking. It shows up as sensation first - tight chest, racing heart, that drop in your stomach, the moment your voice goes thin.

So we slow things down just enough to include that.

Not instead of talking - alongside it.

Because when you bring your attention to what's actually happening in your body in the moment, it tends to give much more accurate information about what's hard than the story your brain is trying to piece together afterwards.

From there, we might stay with a sensation for a moment, get curious about it, or notice what shifts when it's given a bit of space.

That's often where something new comes in - a different response, a bit more clarity, or a sense of choice that wasn't there before.

It can sound a bit abstract written down.

In practice, it's very simple, very practical, and very grounded.

Who this is for

You work in sport or a male-dominated environment. You've done some version of the internal work already. You understand your patterns on an intellectual level. And you're ready to work not just to understand the pattern, but to change what actually happens in the moment.

You're exhausted from second-guessing yourself and want to feel more concrete in the decisions you make, the things you say, and the actions you take.

You don't need any background in somatic or body-based approaches. Most people I work with arrive knowing nothing about this and find it the most useful thing they've tried.

You do need to be ready to slow down in sessions - to pay attention to sensation, to sit with discomfort a little, to do the kind of work that doesn't always feel obviously productive while it's happening but creates shifts as things integrate and settle into a new way of being.

Who this isn't for

If you want a structured programme with weekly content, module completion milestones, and a clear linear path - I'm probably not the right fit. This is relational, emergent work. The sessions follow your needs, not a fixed curriculum.

If you're hoping I'll tell you what to do - I won't. I'll help you hear yourself more clearly. But the answers come from you.

“Since working with Jenni I can attend meetings, listen to and value the points of others and contribute my own points in a calm and non-emotive way. I also now feel more positive after meetings because I know that I have contributed and represented myself well. I have always felt totally supported and together we have peeled back the layers of ‘discomfort’ and am reaping the benefits in both my professional and personal life.”

Book a discovery call

If something here has landed, the next step is an informal chat.

We’ll spend thirty minutes on a call and talk about what's going on for you and whether this work is the right fit for you and find out if we are a good fit together.

To take that next step, fill out the form on the contact page and I'll be in touch to arrange a time.
