Why Inner Work is the Real Key to Your Next Level

Whether you’re leading a corporate team, running your own company, or simply aiming for the next chapter in your life, your subconscious beliefs are running the show.

We live in a world that often tells us to work harder, push more, and hustle through in order to succeed. But what I’ve learned - both personally and professionally - is that you can’t white-knuckle your way to the next version of yourself.

The truth? Real, lasting growth starts inside.

Five years ago, my life took a sharp turn when I was diagnosed with breast cancer. The recovery wasn’t just physical; it was mental, emotional, and deeply personal. My identity felt shaken. I had to confront not just the illness, but years of patterns, beliefs, and ways of “performing” in my career and life that were no longer serving me.

I realized that if I wanted to create a truly aligned next chapter, I couldn’t just “go back to normal.” I had to become someone new.

But here’s the catch: the “new me” couldn’t be built on the same old operating system.

Enter Subconscious Reprogramming....

Fast forward to late 2024 and I continued to struggle in both my mental and physical health and knew I had to do something DIFFERENT. That’s when I dove head-first into training and became certified in NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming).

For those unfamiliar, NLP is a set of tools and practices designed to work with the subconscious mind - the part of us that quietly drives our decisions, behaviors, and ultimately, our results.

In the process of learning these tools, I also sought professional help to learn how to heal and regulate my nervous system. Because here’s what no one tells you: You can dream big all you want, but if your body doesn’t feel safe expanding, you’ll sabotage your progress, often without even realizing it.

By pairing subconscious reprogramming with nervous system healing, I created the space to then begin to fully step into an element of my next chapter: launching Rebel Style.

What This Has to Do With Your Career or Business....

Whether you’re leading a corporate team, running your own company, or simply aiming for the next chapter in your life, your subconscious beliefs are running the show.

If deep down you believe:

  • You’re not ready

  • You might fail

  • You have to overwork to be worthy

  • Or you need to be someone you’re not in order to succeed

…you’ll keep hitting the same glass ceiling, no matter how much strategy, skill, or ambition you have.

Hear this: Doing the inner work isn’t about being “soft” - it’s about being smart. It’s about upgrading the part of you that makes every single decision so it’s aligned with your goals, not in conflict with them.

The Inner Work Formula That Changed My Life

1️⃣ Awareness: Recognizing the beliefs, patterns, and stories that are quietly dictating your choices.

2️⃣ Reprogramming: Using tools like NLP to shift those beliefs on a subconscious level.

3️⃣ Regulation : Supporting your nervous system so you can expand without feeling unsafe or overwhelmed.

4️⃣ Embodiment: Aligning your actions, style, and presence with the future version of yourself.

This is the exact approach I plan to use with women and leaders through Rebel Style: Blending mindset, embodiment, and then style as the icing on the cake so they can not only reach their goals, but do it in a way that feels powerful, sustainable, and true to who they are.

The Bottom Line

Your next level - in your career, your business, or your life - isn’t about working harder. It’s about working deeper.

When you upgrade your inner world, your outer world has no choice but to follow. Because you stop trying to “fit in” with an old identity… and instead start becoming the person who naturally attracts the opportunities, relationships, and success you want.

If you’re feeling called to step into your next version - and you’re ready to do the inner work to get there - I’d love to connect.

Your future self is waiting.
