From the outside, everything looks fine. Inside, something isn’t quite at ease, especially now, standing before something new. And part of you keeps asking: am I allowed to want more?
I know that feeling well. It’s where my own journey started, and what I found on the way became Breaking Cages. Breaking Through is a six-session program where we walk that path together, in a small circle of women: seeing what stands in the way, letting go of it, and choosing a new way of seeing.
What you’ll leave with
Real tools to see what’s been holding you back
Much of what stops us comes from the inside, and a lot of it sits below the surface: invisible blocks and ways of reading the world and ourselves that don’t do us any good.
In Breaking Through you learn to notice them, and to trade them for a kinder way of seeing. So you can recognise what keeps you from breaking through, from fulfilling yourself, and from the change that’s right for you.
And you share it all with an intimate circle of women who feel the same. After the six sessions, we stay connected in a WhatsApp group that I tend once a month.
The six sessions
One theme each week
- What do I really want? Where I stand today and where I’m heading. What drives me, my flame, and what lights me up.
- The perception cage. A reset for my operating system: the perceptions running me behind the scenes, and trading them for kinder ones. Judgment for compassion, worry for trust.
- The automated-thinking cage. What happens when things don’t go my way: the spiral, my relationship with reality, and curiosity as the way out.
- The shadow cage. The blocks I put in my own way: beliefs, fears, stories, all the “shoulds”, and the quiet question “am I allowed?”
- The inner voice. How much room I give it, and how to listen with compassion, space and trust.
- Closing and creating. Bringing it all together, and stepping out with a choice and a vision for what comes next.
Inside each session
We start with breath and an intention, and the question “what’s present with me today?”. Then I open the week’s theme through stories and questions, and we feel it through an experience. And we talk, the kind of conversation where things suddenly click.
You’ll feel
- Seen.
- That you can create your reality.
- Trust in your path.
- That the ups and the downs both have meaning.
- That you’re not weird. Really.
Less of
- Judgment, of yourself and others.
- Insecurity.
- The blocks that keep you in place.
- Living on autopilot.
More of

- Knowing yourself.
- Meeting change from a place of trust.
What we agree on
- You are exactly where you need to be.
- You’re not alone. We’re in this together.
- Change on the outside starts with a willingness to change on the inside.

Join the first group
Are you ready to come with a little doubt, and a lot of openness?
When the inner voice is heard, and the lens is wide.
Write to me, and we’ll set a time for a short chat before we start.
Breaking Through grows out of the journey I tell in my memoir, Breaking Cages, and the four cages I found along the way: comfort, shadow, automated thinking and perception.
