I know there’s a voice in your head that’s saying you aren’t good enough, and that you can’t possibly be meant for anything greater than where you are right now.

I also know that there’s a part of you (however small it might be) that yearns so desperately to believe that’s not true. To believe that you ARE meant for great things. To believe that you CAN be good enough, and feel good enough, and genuinely see yourself as good enough 💛

And I’m here to tell you that you’re ready. You’re ready to let that small part of you shine through, win out, and take a chance on yourself!

Because you deserve to know in your heart that that small part of you is right.

So stop that voice in your head that’s scoffing at your chances of discovering the real, beautiful, amazing YOU that’s good enough, and powerful enough, and meant for truly great things.

I know that voice is speaking out to you right now, can you hear it?

I used to let my own voice like that rule my head and my heart for so, so long, until I broke free and found myself– my true self. The one that lives confidently, abundantly, and with genuine excitement for the future! I found my whole and complete self that had the courage to leave what I thought was my dream job as a high school teacher to start my own business, shine light on other women, and create community through love and light.

You can find your own true self too 💛 (She’s there, sweet friend. She’s just been waiting for you to commit to yourself and let her shine!)

The solution is inside your own mind– which isn’t truly surprising, since it’s your small inner yearning self that’s pushing you to transform, isn’t it?

Every inspiring movie tells you the same thing– that the power was inside your heart the whole time, do you remember?

If you can re-route the programs running in your mind to treat yourself gently, lovingly, and with kindness, you can be in charge of everything you desire to become 💛 And then you can be it.

And that’s life changing, isn’t it?

What would life be like when you’re most gentle, kind, and loving with yourself?

Can you see it?

Sweetest you, with confident body language and an inner smile, living with love and intention.

Joyous you, with a focused gaze, seeing a clear vision of your potential and your path forward.

Bravest you, with a shiver of excitement, grasping your next opportunity.

What if this is your nearest future, sweet friend?

What if you could live this life?

You won’t be walking this path alone, rest assured– my heart is waiting to leap up and help you!

If your heart so dearly wants this transformation, (and you do, don’t you?) then you are perfect for my three month You ARE Good Enough empowerment program that accelerates and amplifies the success you’ll experience in Love Your Life in 90 Days! 💛 And I would be delighted to lead you in stepping into your most authentic, worthy self!

Throughout our time together, when you add on and join You ARE Good Enough, we will

Release the cruel beliefs that your heart is holding, so that you can catch fire with the possibilities that your future holds for you!
Break down the limitations that have power over you, so that you can feel buoyant with potential and heart-warming dreams!
Unlock the beautiful sense of self that you’ve been longing to become for so long!
Create a blueprint for that truest you that is meant for amazing things!
Cultivate a mindset that opens your capacity for growth, inner love, and self-kindness!
Design an empowered path toward achieving your happiest, most confident life!

You, sweet friend, deserve to become everything you wish you were– can you feel it? 🤩

If you feel this so deeply in your heart, then you can become it. The slightest desire for change is enough, and you, sweet friend, are enough 💛

The only question is– do you want to begin living as your truest self now, or never?

(It isn’t really a question, is it?)

Because if your heart is yearning to live a life of possibility, self-love, self-power, and beautiful dreams, then you can be sure your heart won’t wait for never.

And together we will answer your heart’s desire to genuinely believe that you can be good enough, and feel good enough, and truly see yourself as good enough:

Connecting online through inspiring video chats with each other– opening doors for you in your mind and in your heart each week!
Stepping into authentic habits for success and grounded well-being– unlocking your truest identity of self-love and self-light with enthusiasm and support!
Embracing your greatest potential with purpose– choosing action steps that will propel you towards your dreams and passions!

This is a perfect opportunity for you, sweet friend! Because you are:

SO READY for change! And your heart is joyously enthusiastic (if a little scared) about getting started!
Passionate and enthusiastic about making decisive changes and following through on exercises and action steps!
Excited by the idea of releasing habits and beliefs that don’t serve you!
Energized by the thought of making those self-love and confidence TED Talks, self-development books, and inspirational quotes you save on your phone from Insta and Pinterest an actualized reality for yourself!
Honest with yourself about the help you deserve– because mental health is important, sweet friend, and I want you to choose a licensed therapist (not a coach) if that is the option that gets you the support that you need 💛 You can find resources here.

I founded Brave Heart Open Mind, this enthusiastic self-love development studio, in an effort to empower women with the ability to live their happiest, most confident lives!

Because I’ve walked the path of feeling like I wasn’t good enough— drowning in self-doubt and self-hate— and it genuinely straight up sucks. (It does, for real. If you’ve been there— ugly-crying on cold floral linoleum— you know it’s true).

Part of the entire existence of Brave Heart Open Mind is to allow me to help you get to where I am— in a place of self-love; in a place of consistent confidence; in a place of self-empowerment! And to help you get there faster than I did. 😅🤩

It took me over a decade to get to where I am today.

From my own rock bottom— sitting at the end of an emotionally abusive relationship, fully depressed, with imbalanced hormones, halfway through college, unable to do anything other than barely hang on and pretend I was fine, (when really my self-image was a total dumpster fire on the inside). There were real moments of sobbing-on-the-floor feelings of wretchedness, catatonic-in-bed feelings of hopelessness, and hiding-blades-from-myself urges of self-harm during this time.

Medication to balance my hormones helped regulate my brain chemistry to smooth back the depression and darkness, but I was still left with a completely trashed self-image. I wanted to love myself, and it took me over a decade to figure out how to actually make that happen.

My personal journey over the course of that decade has thankfully brought me all the way to where I am now: the founder of an amazing and fulfilling business, totally loving my life!

And if I can help you skip the trudging, slow-as-heck, mountain climb out of the trenches of self-doubt and self-hate, and streamline a decade for you— like, that’s amazing! Why wouldn’t I help you? How could I not??

And through painstakingly building positive lifelong habits for myself, I’ve paved a new path: One where I consistently push myself to grow, feel good enough, and live in a place of calm, centered confidence.

And these habits aren’t magic— anyone can learn them! Everyone deserves to learn them. They’re rooted in solid verbal communication skills, body language tactics, and powerful mindset shifts. Meshing these three skillsets together creates a powerful range of habits that can make any lovely human feel confident! All you have to do is learn them and consistently work hard to practice them throughout your life. When you’re ready to commit to yourself, when you’re ready to finally let yourself feel good enough, when you’re ready to live a life of confidence, I can help you learn and practice these habits! You’re worth it 😀 (You SO are!)

I’m also a total scifi nerd 🤓

I can’t wait for us to work together! Seriously, we’ll be a force to be reckoned with! You’ll learn such powerful new habits, and you’ll feel so much power in the confidence that you’ve unlocked! Heck yes!!

Answers to Frequently Asked Questions

How much time get to spend improving my self-love & self-confidence mindset with Kayla?

Great question! You ARE Good Enough! is designed to amplifiy and accelerate your results in Love Your Life in 90 Days! and that means that you get me alllll to yourself for 60 minutes each week throughout the program, in addition to your group meetups with me! I may also give you additional brainstorming assignments or confidence exercises, and ultimately you’re in charge of the time and effort you put into these exercises, so let them be flexible, yet prioritized 🥰

Do you guarantee results?

If you do the work and commit to yourself 100%, and follow my step-by-step guidance, you will experience SO MUCH growth and inner happiness! 🤩

But because I can’t guarantee that you’ll put in the work, I can’t guarantee that you’ll get the results. This is a partnership where we each must invest 100% and put all of our efforts and enthusiasm toward helping you live your happiest, most confident life! 🥳🎉

Do you offer refunds?

Due to the nature of these live coaching sessions, there are typically no refunds available. However, if you find that after putting in effort, working with me isn’t a good fit for you, we’ll give you a full refund. This means that per our Terms & Conditions, you have 15 days after you purchase this package to request a refund.

Please keep in mind that when you request a refund, we require that you send an email to support@braveheartopenmind.com, along with proof of your commitment to making the program work for you.

We reserve the right to refuse your refund if you do not show us that you committed to making the program work for you. Under no circumstances will a refund be issued after the cutoff date of 15 days after your purchase of the coaching package.

What are your qualifications?

Great question! I’m a total nerd and an avid life-long learner: I am certified to teach public speaking (and more!) with a Bachelors Degree in Mass Communication & Journalism and a Masters Degree in Education by the University of Nebraska at Omaha. I am certified as a Life & Success Coach, Hypnotherapist, and NLP, EFT, and TIME Practitioner by the International Board of Coaches and Practitioners. I’m currently pursuing my certification as a Master Practitioner by the IBCP, as well as my certification in The Science of Well-Being by Yale University 🤓

This next session of You ARE Good Enough! begins the week of June 8th, 2020! 🥳🎉 Be sure to save your spot, since I’m only onboarding 3 clients into this June Session! Apply right away!

I applied, but I didn’t get in. What’s up with that?

My heart 100% wishes I could work with everyone all the time for everything! 😍 But since I don’t have a Time-Turner like Hermione in Harry Potter (dang it!) I can only take on a limited number of clients at a time, so that’s likely why 💛

I am also SUPER passionate about making sure that you get the help you deserve! If I feel like I’m not qualified to help you, I’m committed to being responsible as a practitioner by not taking you on as a client, and I absolutely recommend that you seek the level of help that’s right for you! Please check out these resources to find help and support, sweet friend! 😘💛

If you or someone you know are in crisis, and need immediate help, call, or go the website of the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline (1-800-273-8255). Trained crisis workers are available to talk 24/7. Your confidential and toll-free call goes to the nearest crisis center in the national network. These centers provide crisis counseling and mental health referrals. If the situation is potentially life-threatening, call 911 or go to a hospital emergency room.

I totally wish I could do this, but it’s not the right time. What else do you have for me?

You can definitely still participate in Love Your Life in 90 Days! 🥳🎉 And you can grab yourself a Confidence Kit, even if we’re not working together one-on-one! You can also get wisdom to level up your self-love every morning in your inbox! 🤩 Check out Hello Happiness! and get on the goodness!!
