From Social Anxiety to Social Freedom with Maeve K
From battling with Social Anxiety from a young age, Maeve has managed to teach herself how to find the freedom she has always wanted.
From the mind that was once filled with fears of control. To learning her sensitivity was not her weakness but her strength
From the mind that once was riddled with limiting beliefs. To realising the external praise and respect in the world wouldn’t get rid of the internal voice
From dealing with a dreadful amount of shame in her life. To shining the light on the shame and embracing who she is.
Maeve is now helping anyone suffering from Social Anxiety how to overcome this and belong to themselves.
