The Goddess In You is a home for and a community of women around the world - who all share the same dreams, fears, idiosyncrasies and everyday madness. This site is about women and for women - those of you who are single, married, exploring options or simply not interested in the opposite sex. We'll talk about falling in love, managing finances, personal development, traveling, losing weight, breaking the glass ceiling, culture, the mother-daughter dynamic and other challenges faced by the 21st century woman.

Amy's Success Stories: Mona

Mona My Client Mona came to me because she was fat, broke, ugly and miserable.  Her words exactly.  What I uncovered in the first session was that she didn’t like herself, at all.  She actually believed that she was “unlovable.”  So, she was.  She overate, let people cross her boundaries, didn’t ask for the pay she deserved – all behavior that supported her underlying beliefs that she was unworthy and unlovable.

After that initial session, I created a plan for Mona to begin treating herself respectfully whether she felt she deserved it or not.  If she didn’t follow through, she would be fired from the program. I worked closely with Mona to remove sabotaging beliefs and create empowering ones.  I also created a series of assignments and exercises custom made for her that she would do every day from eating right and exercising to budgeting and taking care of herself. I walked side by side with her through every obstacle and every breakthrough. 

In three months, Mona lost 27 lbs, moved into a new apartment, got promoted and started dating.   Mona learned that by having someone help her every step of the way, adopting new beliefs about herself and taking actions that support those beliefs, she could, very quickly, begin getting everything she always wanted.  What she didn’t expect was that that man she started dating during the process would eventually become her husband.
