Understand the real problem

Deanna Herrin works with entrepreneurial women helping them heal from past trauma and rewire unsupportive belief systems and get clear on their life purpose and calling. Starting the moment we are born, we are FLOODED with cultural views, personal experiences, false beliefs, and more. We begin looking externally for our worth and value.

At the age of 12, Deanna’s parents divorced, and her stepdad, who she was very close with no longer wanted to see her and her brother. Her child-self took this experience and began believing that she’s not important.

Through this she began to excel in school and in life to gain approval, attention, and worth. Ironically, or not, it was at this same age that Deanna had her first drink. Living her life in constant pursuit of earning her worth and value, accompanied by drinking, all led Deanna towards a path of utter burnout.

Six years ago, Deanna and her family moved from the city to a small town and she began writing her book, Unbecoming: A Journey To Finding HER. The writing process was cathartic and revisiting past traumas and emotions became the catalyst to Deanna’s healing journey.

She began asking these powerful and life changing questions:

• What belief system did you create that informs how you participate in life?

• What belief systems cause you to turn to alcohol to numb?

• What are you numbing?

Deanna had to do deep inner work to uncover belief systems she was unconsciously holding. Through this journey of healing and rewiring, she went from feeling passionless and unmotivated, to excitement, purpose and joy for helping others.

Just like Deanna, when YOU remove beliefs that don't serve you, it’s replaced with suddenly having this sense of possibility and energy. You discover that in fact, you can do so much more than you ever imagined.

Your version of “not enough”

Being led by your passion and mission is a magical place to be in, and to get there requires rewiring our self-beliefs. Deanna knew she was searching for her worth and value externally. Even after reaching one of her highest goals she still felt unfulfilled and empty.

Our conscious mind controls our actions and decisions. So whatever we believe about ourselves, (ie: “I’m not capable” or “I'm not important”), is fed to our subconscious. We then start looking for evidence and circumstances that support this belief.

If you were to take a guess, what does your “not enough/not worthy” belief sound like?

When we get curious with ourselves, we can begin to unlock the core experience where a belief was planted. When we discover where our “not enough” story comes from, we can then do the work to heal and change it.

A new declaration

Beliefs about ourselves stem from experiences and traumas we experienced growing up, from getting yelled at for a bad grade to the death of a loved one. There is no hierarchy of experiences. The key is that it led to a negative belief about yourself.

There's a negative emotion attached to trauma, and when we’re in that emotional state we create a story that just plays on autopilot constantly in our mind. And so in order to neutralize that Deanna works with women to go back through the core memory where it all began.

Through creating a safe and supportive environment they talk through the event and the emotions connected to it. Through this her clients are able to process the emotions, taking away their intensity and power.

This technique unlocks incredible potential because once that emotion is cleared, clients choose for themselves a new declaration, a new belief system, and stand in this new truth.

As you rewire your old belief systems, you gain the power to declare, and to CHOOSE who you want to be and how you want to live your life!

“The journey really is in unbecoming the lies that we believe about ourselves. You already have that divine purpose and calling. We just have to unbecome some of the things that we have allowed to attach to us from the external world to really open up and see that.” Deanna Herrin
