Have you ever missed out on an opportunity because you were nervous to put yourself out there? Or didn’t state your opinion because you were worried what others might think?

I have! I’m Stacy Laninga, and I help women realize they are enough by embracing the often-overlooked steps to gain lasting confidence. 

When I was a kid, I dreamt big. I wanted to be a marine biologist, or a psychiatrist specializing in helping people with multiple personalities, or a famous musician... when I was really young, I even wanted to be the Statue of Liberty! 

But somewhere along the line, I stopped dreaming big and started playing small. I started going along with what others decided, unwilling to rock the boat. I let society silent my voice, scared to put my true self out there and risk being judged, both personally and professionally. 

Because whether it’s starting our own business, climbing the corporate ladder, embracing motherhood, or even just taking up space, women are constantly told all the ways we’re doing it wrong. Over time, this erodes our confidence and we hide our true selves to try and fit in. 

But what if we don’t have to make ourselves smaller, or silence our voices? What if we had the confidence to let our true selves shine?

After a series of life-changing events, I decided to do just that. I was determined to reclaim my true self. Someone with big dreams. A force to be reckoned with. So I went on a self-discovery journey, and wow was it a paradigm shift! 

I discovered how we can work with our brain to create lasting confidence, and learned how we can view life's ups and downs through a more optimistic lens - aka The Great Reframe.

I’m now sharing The Great Reframe with women everywhere to help them go from uncertain to unstoppable. We can work together to create a world of confident women who proudly take up space and lead from a place of power. Let’s rewrite our stories, rediscover our voices, and reclaim our authentic selves.
