Make Peace with Your Inner Critic – in 3 Steps
Empower Your Life with Self-Esteem, Confidence, and Happiness
45-minute interactive talk to 2 hour workshop

Your Inner Critic loves to beat you up with criticism, make you work way too hard, feel worried and anxious, and put up with unfulfilling relationships. It hurts your peace of mind and self-esteem and excels at sabotaging your decision-making and the success and happiness you’re desiring.

But, there’s another way!

Certified Integrative Coach, Annie Notestein, teaches how to:

  • Recognize your Inner Critic and its impact on your decision-making and confidence.
  • Shift from “shoulds” and stress to self-compassion and confidence.
  • Experience a new, empowering way to make decisions that support you.
I didn’t think I was one of the people that needed to attend Annie’s Make Peace Your Inner Critic Workshop when I signed up, so I was pleasantly surprised by how much I learned.

Anne is an inspiring workshop teacher and I felt really motivated in a way I haven’t felt for a long time. I was able to use the skills that I learned right away. A conflict arose shortly afterward, and I was able to talk calmly about how I felt and what I needed. And, I only felt slightly guilty afterward!

Before the workshop, I would have felt like I should handle this situation entirely on my own. I would not have spoken up without feeling a lot of guilt.

How to Access the Heart of Your Inner Wisdom
De-Stress and Make Decisions Right for You
2 hour workshop

People who are sensitive to what others say are often highly skilled at tuning into other people. Yet, they often forget to listen in to themselves. This habit can result in not knowing what you want and feeling stressed with your self-esteem hurting.

In this workshop, you’ll learn how to

  • Recognize the imposters of your inner wisdom that keep you feeling stressed and second-guessing your decisions.
  • Recognize and listen to your inner wisdom to make decisions that you know, deep down, are right for you.

This practice can reduce your stress and boost self-compassion, peace of mind, self-esteem, and confidence.

I had been feeling confused about what I really wanted. With Annie’s help, I was able to identify what is truly important to me, gain confidence in who I am and feel safe making better decisions that align with my highest good. 

Annie’s teaching has been more effective for me, in one workshop, than six months of counseling; that left me exhausted. Annie has an important message to share and I hope you cross paths very soon. She’s a gem!

Step into the Year of Your Dreams
2-hour workshop

We’re often so busy, focused on our day-to-day life, that we forget about living our dreams. We’ve forgotten the happiness and satisfaction our dreams and passions bring us when they become our reality.

  • Annie will share the top 3 reasons why so many people aren’t living the life they’re yearning for and how to transform that in your own life.
  • You’ll learn how to identify the signs that “shoulding” on yourself is getting in the way of your happiness.
  • Annie will walk you through a joyful heart-centered, three-step process to identify what YOU truly desire for yourself – how you want to be and feel in the world – and what you want to be achieving this year.
You changed my life! I was at a crossroads in my life and didn’t know which way to proceed. Annie helped me to find out who I really am and what I want for my life.
