I’m MaryAnn.

The most important thing you need to know about me is that I used to have a bully living inside my head.

Oh- you, too? It convinced me I wasn’t enough, that I was less than all I was created to be. And boy, was she good at it. Of course, I’d given her lots of ammunition. 

Adoption – “Your own mother didn’t want you.”

Abuse at the hands of a child predator – “You’re bad, damaged, and it’s all your fault.”

Anorexia – “You’re worthless. It’d be better if you disappeared.”

My inner critic kept me on a wild pendulum ride swinging back and forth between perfectionism & judgment to anxiety & depression.

Even though I’d had my share of life challenges, it wasn’t until a traumatic event with my teenage daughter turned my life upside down that I finally had enough. 

Everything my inner critic had told me of how I had to keep everything “under control” and “behave” to keep anything bad from happening came crashing down around me. 

When I embraced my natural strengths, a light bulb switched on inside my head. I was able to see my inner critic for the bully and liar she was. And I found the courage to stand and take control of my one and only amazing life. 

I’m here to show you how you can do the same. 

Strengths are the foundation of leading better in your own life and for those depending on you - personally and professionally.
