On the surface, Ann’s life seemed picture-perfect—a thriving marketing agency, a loving husband, and children she cherished. To the outside world, she had it all. But behind her smiles, Ann Brennan faced a deep, often unspoken struggle: self-doubt. For years, she lived by the approval of others, constantly seeking validation while denying her own needs.
Despite her outward success, an invisible weight of worry and insecurity held her back. Ann’s childhood, marked by growing up in a trailer and enduring financial instability, left her with what we call her “money story”—a deeply rooted fear of scarcity that influenced both her personal and professional decisions. Every business decision felt like a tightrope walk, afraid that any wrong move would plunge her back into the poverty she had worked so hard to escape. Even though her business grew, those feelings of inadequacy and anxiety simmered beneath the surface, quietly draining her confidence and joy, which began impacting her business decisions, such as pricing and the types of clients to accept.
Frustrated by her inability to break through these invisible barriers, Ann Brennan reached a breaking point. “I knew something had to change,” she reflected. That’s when she found Naheed Oberfeld, a certified Mindset Coach and Success Strategist known for her unique ability to uncover the roots of deep-seated fears. Ann Brennan felt an immediate connection with Naheed’s compassionate, non judgmental approach to mindset coaching.
Naheed introduced Ann Brennan to Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), a transformative tool that combines tapping on specific points of the body with focused intention to release emotional blocks. Initially skeptical, Ann Brennan soon found herself amazed by the shifts that began happening in her life. Through EFT and mindset coaching, Ann Brennan uncovered a powerful realization: her fear about money, her discomfort with success, and her belief that she didn’t deserve her accomplishments had been holding her back for years. Naheed’s gentle guidance allowed Ann Brennan to face these long-hidden patterns and beliefs. With each tapping session, Ann Brennan felt lighter, freer, and more confident in her own skin.
The impact of working with Naheed was profound. In just a few months, Ann Brennan experienced a complete transformation, not only in her mindset but in every area of her life:
For the first time, Ann Brennan felt confident enough to take a big risk – she bought a second business, something she had always dreamed of but feared would fail.
Ann Brennan also achieved something she had struggled with for years—she lost the weight that had been a source of frustration and self-doubt for over six years. Her new self-esteem was matched by a newfound vitality.
Most importantly, the constant worry and stress that once plagued Ann Brennan had diminished. What replaced it was a deep sense of trust in herself, her abilities, and her future.
Ann’s message to other entrepreneurs struggling with self-doubt and stagnation is clear: “Growth is messy, and it’s ongoing. But if you’ve ever felt stuck—if you’ve ever asked yourself, ‘Why can’t I just get out of my own way?’—I want you to know you’re not alone, and there are people like Naheed who can help!” For me, working with a mindset coach was life-changing. It helped me remove roadblocks I didn’t even realize were there and finally step into the person I was meant to be. If you’ve been considering mindset work or just feel like something is holding you back, I encourage you to explore it. You might be surprised at how much lighter and freer life can feel when you finally let go of the things that have been weighing you down.
