It’s Time to Choose Yourself.

I help women over 40 break free from the fairytale facade and choose radical self-loyalty—so that they can stop performing and start experiencing true freedom in relationships.

My 12-week 1:1 coaching and mentoring program Spotlight: Radical Self-Loyalty is for women who are tired of putting everyone’s needs before their own and are ready to be at the center of their own lives.

Few people talk about the courage it takes to choose yourself. To not lose sight of your own dreams, what you really long for, when all of us have been fed the fairytale that in order to have the happy ending, the story has to be written a certain way.

Perhaps you:

  • Spent your first act in your earlier years giving yourself away to everyone else.

  • Followed the stage directions that told you what a “great, successful woman” should be: dependable, loving, selfless.

  • Settled for relationships and stayed in situations for far too long.

  • Put others’ needs first, and now des

  • Lived a life of “shoulds” and are now ready to choose what YOU really want.

  • Others’ needs and desires came first, and yours became hidden behind the curtain. 

It’s time to dismantle the fairytale you’ve been told, and start spotlighting a new story that unfolds the way you want it to.

You get to write it this time.

And I’ll be right alongside you, sharing the steps you’ll need to experience true freedom, so that you can stop performing, and start experience true freedom in relationships—with yourself and others.

You’ve done everything right…and yet, your life doesn’t feel like it’s truly yours.

Somewhere along the way, you started abandoning yourself in your relationships, second-guessing your needs, and losing touch with what you actually desire.

Now you’re left wondering how to find your way back home to yourself.

You may be single, post-divorce, an empty-nester, or simply feeling that tug that says, I want to feel more free. I am ready to choose myself for once.

You may be curious and wondering how you can:

  • Protect your peace, discover new ways of being, and doing life differently. 

  • Calm your nervous system and center your healing.

  • Discover what truly lights you up and gives you energy back to yourself.

  • Learn how to date yourself and find the love you’ve always searched for through others. 

  • Build stronger boundaries in a variety of relationships.

  • Make empowered, IDGAF decisions centered in your inner knowing & intuition. 

Does this resonate?

This is the call to choose yourself.

To stop waiting for validation to live life differently now.

And let the life YOU truly crave begin in this beautiful and expansive second act…and what if you can do that by being more fierce, feral, and free in relationship to yourself and others?

Through my 12-week 1:1 coaching program, we unpack the pain of what it’s been like to live life based on others’ expectations, what old beliefs and actions are hurting you now, recognize what desires you’ve been pushing away and get clear on what you really want now.

It’s not too late to choose your own sovereignty in relationship to others…and most importantly, to yourself.

You Know You’re Ready for a Transformation.

Testimonials

  • Sage wisdom & presence

    I first worked with Annalyn when she co-facilitated a retreat a few years ago. I distinctly recall her vulnerability and bravery while sharing her own personal story with our group during the introductory circle. This inspired the women who shared after her to feel safe and go far deeper with their own stories.

    Later in the retreat, Annalyn led a guided meditation. Her energetic presence is grounding and soothing. To this very day I can take myself back to that moment and her guidance for finding and protecting my heart center. I use the practice that she taught me to call myself home when I have strayed too far from myself.

    I have the fortune of continuing to work with Annalyn. Her sage wisdom and presence inspires me to explore deeper within myself and continually embark on paths toward healing and self-discovery. Annalyn is someone with whom I feel comfortable being honest and vulnerable because she is genuine in how she shows up for others. Annalyn inspires a feeling of belonging, and I look forward to every opportunity that I have to work with her.

  • Radiant authenticity and intuitive guidance

    “I had the privilege of attending two of Annalyn’s transformative workshops at a Women’s Wellness Retreat. What really stays with me is her radiant authenticity and intuitive guidance. I felt inspired to explore what coming home to myself really looks and feels like within myself and in relationships with others. She offers this alongside you in a nurturing and sacred space as someone who is also on this journey. She created a collective group dynamic that gave us permission to then share within a group from our hearts. After three years, I continue to reflect on these discoveries especially during difficult times in my life.”

I can truthfully say that Annalyn has had a huge impact on me and my career, and anyone who is coached by her is lucky to have such a warm and powerful coach on their side!”
