Inner Ugly Sister
To all my dedicated rule abiders, perfectionists, burnt-out people-pleasers, over-achievers and sufferers of ‘good child syndrome’.
If the idea of making a mistake, messing up, being ‘found out’, saying the wrong thing or looking silly makes your whole body tense up…
Firstly, take a deep breath, drop your shoulders, and relax your jaw.

Working so hard to be ‘good’ could be holding you back.
Playing at being ‘bad’ is the fast and fun way to full, easy, flowing expression.
If you’re ready to play The Baddy…

When you’ve been taught that expressing what you want or what you need is ‘naughty’, you lock powerful parts of yourself away in the shadows.
And then what happens?
You doubt your gut feelings, lose touch with your intuition, dismiss your ideas and desires.
You censor yourself.
You stay quiet and guarded.
When you’ve internalised the message that Who You Are is leaving you open to being judged, rejected or harmed, you bury your spark.
(It’s a deeply wise and protective survival instinct — but it keeps you stuck.)
Stepping into a character through drama gives you instant permission to play your way.
It’s a chance to allow yourself to express things you never dared.
You unlock strength you’ve never known before and meet parts of yourself you’ve long forgotten.
Inner Ugly Sister is a guided audio experience and interactive playsheet.
It’s a solo exercise you can do any time. You just need some privacy and some headphones.
Designed especially for anyone who feels held back by shyness, social anxiety or low self-esteem, it’s a gentle and playful way to stretch and grow.
Get a taste of the transformative potential of your imagination and the power of drama to give you an instant, full-bodied experience of more confident, expressive behaviours.
