So many women go through life pouring from an ever empty cup, unable to say what we really want to say. Constantly caring for others and putting ourselves last. Or becoming hyper independent, because we’ve learned that relying on others just sets us up to be disappointed.
It’s not your fault, either. As women, we’re told that our value is in how well we serve our parents, partners, and children. We learn that to talk about what we need or want is bossy or bitchy. Deep inside, we live in fear that if we were to really say what’s on our minds, we’d either be ignored or abandoned. So we learn not to talk about what we need, silencing ourselves until we lose ourselves completely.
In today’s society, women have more freedom and opportunities than at any other time in history. We have to ability to get educations and aspire to any career path we wish. Women today can wield power and respect in the boardroom and the bedroom. Most of all, we can move in the world as equals and build mutually beneficial relationships that don’t rely on us being invisible or in service.
So much of what we learn about being a woman comes from our mother and her mother before her and though they did their best, they could not teach what they did not know. Today, we have a chance to be and do better, but we only need the right tools. That’s why I help women come to terms with the past with compassion so that they can move forward in life with confidence, power, and joy.
Welcome! My name is Brittney M. Scott and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and coach with background in working with families, teens, and young adults.
However, as the oldest daughter in my family and now the mother of a daughter, it is my passion and joy to work with both daughters and mothers.
This work started when as a counselor, I noticed that so many of the teens and women who came in with so much anxiety, anger, and frustration often also struggled with their relationships with their moms. To better help them, I started learning about mother-daughter relationships, which led to me training with Rosjke Hasseldine as a Mother-Daughter Attachment Coach and becoming a teaching member of Mother-Daughter Coaching International.
Doing this work has helped women find their voice, own their power, and pursue their dreams, laying the groundwork for the next generation of confident and fulfilled women.
