Ready to get your next bold move out of the drafts folder and into the world?
I help sensitive creatives and entrepreneurs stop circling their brilliance and finally launch the thing they've been quietly building toward.
Does This Sound Like You?
On paper, you're wildly capable. People admire your work. You have a track record of following through.
But secretly, you wonder if any of that really counts. You’ve done big things before—but this new thing feels different. Riskier. More personal.
And so, you're circling around your next-level work instead of stepping directly into it.
You keep reworking the offer, editing the book, tinkering with the website, second-guessing the launch.
Maybe you're:
-
Caught in the loop of “just one more revision” or “I need to get clearer first.”
-
Sitting on a beautiful creative project but afraid to put it out there.
-
Holding back from letting yourself be fully seen because it doesn’t feel safe.
-
On the brink of launching something new—or claiming a bold new career direction—but feeling paralyzed by what it asks of you.
-
Craving expansion but not sure if you’re allowed to claim the identity that goes with it.
- Secretly afraid that you’ll get in trouble if you take up space this way.
Or maybe, it’s sneakier than that.
You’re not spiraling—you’re just… numb. Disinterested. You tell yourself you’ve lost the spark, or that maybe you don’t actually care that much anymore.
But under the surface? That’s fear, too. Fear in disguise.
Because when something truly matters to you, your nervous system will try to protect you by dulling the signal and going into a freeze response.
You’re not lacking clarity, credentials, or talent.
Your nervous system is simply afraid of what will happen when you take that next bold step—and you’re waiting to feel safe enough first.
Let’s create that safety together—so you can finally launch the thing.
The real turning point isn’t when you’re finally ‘ready.’ It’s when you stop hiding.
— Anna Holtzman
The Fear Loop That's Keeping You Stuck.
You can feel it—the pull toward your next chapter. The career pivot. The new offer. The book.
You daydream about it constantly. You can almost taste it.
But instead of stepping in... you stall.
You tweak, overthink, delay, spiral.
Not because you’re lazy or unclear—
But because your nervous system is tangled in the tension between desire and fear.
Maybe you're:
- Over-researching instead of acting.
- Looking to others for cues instead of trusting your own inner yes.
- Hiding behind perfectionism because visibility feels vulnerable.
- Imagining worst-case backlash instead of best-case resonance.
Or maybe you’re not spinning—you’re flatlining.
You feel bored, unmotivated, or checked out.
You say things like “I don’t know what I want anymore” or “Maybe that idea wasn’t actually right for me.”
But if you scratch just beneath the surface, there’s a quiet grief there.
Grief for the thing you do want—but feel too overwhelmed, exposed, or confused to claim.
This isn’t a lack of purpose. It’s a body on pause.
And the work is not to push through—it’s to melt the freeze.
You don’t need more courses, certifications, or strategies. You need capacity.
Imagine if you could:
✔ Publish the post, pitch the offer, or finally launch the thing—without spiraling.
✔ Feel grounded even as you put yourself out there.
✔ Move forward from a place of clarity, connection, and actual self-trust.
✔ Stop trying to play the part—and step forward as who you actually are, unfiltered.
This isn’t about bravado, pushing through, or holding your breath and jumping off a cliff.
It’s about alignment.
And it starts in your body.
Take a deep breath. Let it fill your belly. Slowly exhale.
Picture a moment—past or future—when you felt completely free and at home in your own skin.
The shift doesn’t come from pushing harder.
It comes from feeling safe enough to show up.
Who This Is For (and Who It's Not For)
This is for you if...
-
You’ve got a thing: a book, an offer, a project, a shift in identity that wants to be born.
-
You’ve gotten your feet wet—trainings, journaling, therapy, visioning—and you’re ready for what’s next.
-
You’re craving your next edge—more truth, more expression, more visibility.
-
You know, deep down, you’re here to lead, share, and be seen—even if the imposter syndrome is screaming at full volume right now.
This is not for you if...
-
You’re looking for a step-by-step strategy or someone to tell you exactly what to do—this isn’t that.
-
You’re not yet ready to pause, reflect, and listen to your own inner voice—you’d rather skip the messy inner stuff and just push through.
-
You’re still in the very early stages of exploring what you want next and not quite ready to take bold, aligned action.
This work isn’t about following someone else’s blueprint.
It’s about tuning in to your truth, learning to trust it, and moving in the direction it’s already trying to take you.
I’ll hold the mirror, the map, and the steadiness—so you can stop circling in fear and start taking the next clear, brave step.
The Results You'll Walk Away With.
By the end of our time together, you won’t just feel ready. You’ll be doing the damn thing.
You Will:
-
Publish the project that’s been sitting in your drafts.
-
Launch the offer that reflects the real you.
-
Express yourself online and in your work with courage and clarity.
-
Make peace with being seen in your full expression.
-
Move from "Can I really do this?" to "Of course I can."
This isn’t just about launching. It’s about becoming the person who launches.
Why I Do This Work.
Feeling truly alive comes to those who don’t wait for permission to step into their purpose.
And that’s what I want for you.
If you’re waiting for a sign, a gatekeeper, a credential, a feeling of “now I’m ready”…
Consider me your permission slip.
More importantly—I’ll teach you how to give that permission to yourself.
I’ve reinvented myself more times than I can count—architect-in-training, magazine writer, reality TV editor, licensed therapist, coach.
On paper, the paths looked different.
But underneath, it was always the same: a gut-level call toward something more me.
And every time, my nervous system freaked out.
Claiming a new identity felt dangerous.
Imposter syndrome showed up—loud and wild.
So, I got good at working with it.
Not silencing my doubt, but learning to dance with it.
Riding the waves instead of drowning in them.
Leaning on practices that root me in self-trust—and the people who help me remember who I am when I forget.
That’s what I offer my clients.
Not mindset coaching that follows a formula.
Not a one-size-fits-all strategy.
But a space safe enough for you to unravel just enough…
to become the person you’re already becoming.
To launch the offer.
Publish the book.
Claim the identity that’s been yours all along.
I come from a line of people who trusted their instincts over the rules.
My grandfather, growing up Jewish in Eastern Europe, survived the war by listening to his intuition—when waiting for permission would’ve been fatal.
Later, he built a life and a business he loved in a new country with no map, no model, and no clear place to land.
That deep allegiance to inner guidance over rules runs through me too—and it’s something I love helping others reclaim.
Professionally, I bring nearly a decade of experience to this work.
I’m a licensed therapist and certified coach, trained in Somatic Experiencing, Pain Reprocessing Therapy, and Nonviolent Communication. Since 2016, I’ve helped people untangle fear, rewrite the stories that keep them stuck, and move toward the work they’re here to do.
Before all this, I spent 15 years in the media world—shaping stories and navigating complexity—skills I now bring to deep identity and nervous system work.
You don’t need to prove yourself first.
You don’t need to contort into someone else’s version of “legit.”
The work you’re meant to do isn’t "out there."
It’s already inside you, waiting to be acted on.
Let’s take that next step toward it—together.
This is not a one-size-fits-all program.
This isn’t a course or a cookie-cutter group program.
This is private, high-level coaching—designed specifically for YOU.
We’re not following someone else’s formula. We’re breaking free from everything that’s kept you playing small.
