Helping my clients bring real and lasting change to their lives is why I LOVE what I do!
“…so instead of my inner critic being a screaming voice that stops me dead in my tracks, I now can push through the fear with confidence to succeed. 'Thank you, MaryAnn, for help me find the courage to soar!”
- Shannon D.
Hi! I’m MaryAnn.
Creator of the amazing, transformational course – Calm Your Inner Critic- The Six-Week Plan to Stop Your Inner Critic from Hijacking Your Authentic Voice – and Gallup® Certified Clifton Strengths Coach.
The most important thing you need to know about me is that I used to have a bully living inside my head, too.
She spent most of my life trying to convince me that I’m way less than my strong, marvelous authentic self.
And she EXCELLED at it.
She had lots of ammunition to work with.
Adoption – “Your own mother didn’t even want you.”
Abuse at the hands of a child predator – “You’re bad and it’s all your fault.”
Anorexia – “You’re worthless. It’d be better if you just disappeared.”
Even though I’ve experienced much success personally and professionally throughout my life,

My inner critic kept me on a wild pendulum ride swinging back and forth between perfectionism & judgment to anxiety & depression.
it wasn’t until a traumatic event with my teenage daughter turned my life upside down and I finally had ENOUGH.
Everything my inner critic had told me of how I had to keep everything under control and behave in a certain way to prevent anything bad from happening became crystal clear for the lies they were.
When that light bulb came on in my head, I was able to see my inner critic for the captor she was. And I began to take my life back. And I’m here today so you can do exactly the same. Take back the parts of your life you've given away - whether that's personally, professionally, or both.
Here's the best part! You don’t have to go it alone anymore.
You can be YOU and do YOU personally and professionally exactly the way that feels genuine to YOU beginning TODAY.
Consider visiting my website your first step in standing up to your inner critic. You are no victim. Not anymore!
So, if visiting my website is Step 1 (congrats!), deciding how to begin working together is Step 2.
I can’t wait to connect with you wherever you find yourself on your journey of living your best authentic life every day in every way.
