Join The Hidden Cost of Being the Strong One
5:30pm Wednesday Feb. 25th
Meet Raina Garner
IFS Practitioner | ICF Certified Coach | Creator of From Survival to Self-Leadership and The Self-Led Woman™ Courses
I created From Survival to Self-Leadership because I know what it costs to be the capable one.
The dependable one.
The strong one.
The one who holds everything together while quietly disappearing inside it.
From the outside, my life looked successful.
Inside, I was over-giving, over-managing, and exhausted in a way I couldn’t explain.
I felt broken.
But I was simply running on a survival pattern that once helped me succeed and was now draining my energy, my relationships, and my peace.
Over the last 15+ years, I’ve guided high-achieving women through this exact pattern using IFS, the Energy Leadership Index, and values-based boundary work. Not as theory. In real marriages. Real leadership roles. Real lives.
Here’s what I know:
When a competent woman understands what’s driving her over-functioning and learns how to set aligned limits, everything shifts.
- She speaks directly.
- She stops spiraling at night.
- She delegates.
- She trusts her decisions.
- She stops abandoning herself to keep the system stable.
You do not need to spend years figuring this out alone.
If you’re here, you already feel the escalation.
Something has to change.
I will guide you through it.
Not gently around the edges.
But clearly, steadily, and safely.
With leadership,
Raina
