"I AM" workshop with author, trainer and coach Katherine Metzger

Most people answer with superficial labels assigned by society - I am a daughter, a teacher, a writer; I am tall, short, smart, bad at math. But this question is really one of the most important questions we can ever answer because who we think we are, how we see ourselves, determines how we live our lives, solve our problems, choose our relationships, and even how we heal our bodies. Consider - who do you invite into your life, or even into your bed? Your most intimate relationships. Who do you admire, who are your friends? They're all based on the way you feel about yourself. Based upon your self worth, your self esteem.

When we are conscious enough to understand who we are at our core we become almost immune to the external circumstances around us. When we have a rock solid understanding, a deep knowing, of who we are then when we're confronted with challenges, most of them roll right off because we don't buy into them. It's the people who are lost, the one's who don't have that rock solid foundation of who they are that don't know any better and they believe what the world is telling them to a degree that can be devastating.

But we can all learn to change and grow. The issue is so many people have self doubt in figuring out how to do that and they get their wires crossed. They think that self doubt is a signal to stop. Successful people feel self doubt and it's a signal to learn, to invest in themselves, to try, to experiment, to test, to find their way, because self doubt will always be there. The question is do you stop when you feel it? Or do you experiment when you feel it? You can have self doubt but if it stops you then life doesn't progress. If you have the self doubt and you can move through it, that's where the growth and magic happens!

Unapologetically YOU gives you the tools to experiment with to move through that self-doubt.
