Stop Being Hard On Yourself

A 4-week online program with Mavis Karn & Nikon Gormley that will help you take charge of your mental health when it comes to self-criticism, overthinking, and perfectionism—so you can create success with more ease, clarity, and peace of mind.

 

What is it about?
 

Would you like to stop being so hard on yourself?
 

For many of us, self-criticism feels necessary to succeed. But it comes at a cost—stress, overthinking, anxiety, and never feeling like enough.
 

The truth is, you’re already built to thrive. You don’t need to push yourself so hard to do well.
 

This March, Nikon Gormley and I are hosting a live online course inspired by my book, It’s That Simple: A User’s Manual for Human Beings. Together, we’ll explore how understanding how well you are made can transform how you approach life and success.
 

Self-criticism will begin to fade—not because you’re trying to stop it, but because it stops making sense. You’ll achieve more, feel clearer, and thrive with less effort and stress.
 

This isn’t about fixing yourself. It’s about seeing what’s already true: you are wonderfully made. Join us to discover a kinder, more peaceful way to live and succeed.


Who is this course for?
 

This course is for anyone who feels weighed down by self-criticism, overthinking, or perfectionism. It’s for those who find themselves comparing to others, stuck in stress or pressure, and feeling like they’re never quite enough.
 

It’s for you if you want to create success without sacrificing your well-being. It’s for you if you’re ready to gain a deeper connection to yourself and life.
 

This course is ideal for leaders, entrepreneurs, professionals, coaches, or anyone who’s tired of being hard on themselves. 
 

If you’ve tried tools and techniques in the past but haven’t found lasting results, this course offers something different: a fresh perspective that makes living with greater ease, clarity, and resilience feel natural.


Here’s How the Program Works
 

From March 12th to April 2nd, we’ll meet each Wednesday for 60 minutes on Zoom. Each session is a space for reflection, conversation, and discovery.
 

Rather than following a rigid structure, we’ll explore a range of topics and questions together—guided by what feels most relevant and alive in the moment.

Here’s a glimpse of what we’ll explore:
 

Myths We’ll Leave Behind:
 

  • Being hard on yourself is the key to success.

  • Self-criticism helps you avoid mistakes and failure.

  • Being kind to yourself makes you weak.
     

Topics We’ll Explore Together:
 

  • You are wonderfully made. No, really!

  • A story about buses (and what it says about Thoughts).

  • What self-esteem really is (and isn’t).

  • How moods work and why understanding how they work matters.

  • Why figuring everything out might not be as helpful as you think.

  • Needs, habits, and the surprising simplicity of letting go.

  • The power of loving-kindness (and the magic of shining eyes).
     

Each week is a chance to uncover something new, let go of old ideas that no longer serve you, and deepen your understanding of how well you’re already made.
