You're worth knowing
Let's work on your self-worth
Hi, I'm Rox!
Your self-worth is calling
Struggling to speak up, make friends, or ask for what you deserve?
Hi, it's your inner voice...
I’ve been holding you back all this time.
I’m why you feel small and trapped in the cycle of fear and self-doubt. I’m also the reason you struggle with social anxiety, people-pleasing, and self-sabotage.
I like to make it hard for you to ask questions, make friends, or hold a simple conversation.
I convinced you you weren’t worthy of promotions, opportunities, or even your dream life.
I’m the voice that whispers you’re not enough. That makes you question your worth.
I’ve pushed you to fit into a box that wasn’t meant for you, forcing you to wear a mask even when you felt it went against everything that made you, you.
I’ve kept you trapped, wishing you could be anyone but yourself.
But now, you no longer have to be paralyzed by me.

5 quick ways to manage social anxiety today
There’s no substitute for effort, but you can speed up the process if you understand and take these 5 ways seriously.
This is your starter pack; what you do with it is up to you.
If you were to ask me what my advice is to get started on managing social anxiety, this is what I would give you.
In this context, “quick” doesn’t mean instant. You need to put effort and work behind them, but it’s in your control.
That voice that says you're not enough
My mean inner voice ruled me for far too long. At first, I didn’t even know it was there until it became uncomfortably loud, and was debilitating me in all kinds of sneaky ways.
You might also have that inner voice that lists all the ways you’re a terrible friend or always seem to mess up the good things in your life.
That’s toxic shame. It’s that deep, uncomfortable feeling that you’re not good enough, that something is wrong with you, or that you’re unworthy of love, success, or happiness.
The voice in your head tells you you’re flawed, that you’ll never measure up, or that you don’t deserve the best things in life.
Toxic shame makes you feel bad about who you are.
Built-up shame will impact you in the following three ways
The way you talk to yourself. That nonstop “you’re not enough” narrator in your head impacts your self-worth.
An increase in social anxiety. The urge to hide, mute yourself, or skip events keeps you from socially thriving.
People pleasing tendencies. You discard your needs for others and have toxic coping mechanisms to counter that.
Shedding toxic shame begins with a-ha moments.
You need planted seeds, insights for days, and a willingness to change.
Of all the outside sources I've read to help regarding Social Anxiety, your story(s) resonated with me the most the past year.
Whether reading your articles, downloading your guides and doing the workshops, I felt a need in my heart to express how grateful I am direct to you: you were vulnerable enough to create your brand based on your Social Anxiety, and now you’re helping others like me who feel the same.

Does this FEEL familiar?
You second-guess every decision, afraid you’ll make the wrong choice.
You feel paralyzed by the pressure to meet everyone’s expectations, always trying to please others and never putting yourself first.
You doubt your worth, even when you’ve accomplished great things.
You hold yourself back in your career, fearing you’re not good enough to step into bigger opportunities.
Maybe you avoid difficult conversations or constantly overthink past mistakes.
The idea of showing up fully as yourself in any area of your life seems like a distant dream.
Toxic shame shows up in many areas of life, but it doesn’t have to control you.
