The State Shift Workshop From knowing to doing – despite the voice that says you can’t
Have you ever felt like there’s a part of you that you’ve learned to hide?
The part that was too much. Too intense. Too ambitious. Too sensitive. Too… you.
Somewhere along the way, you locked it away. You learned it wasn’t welcome. So you buried it.
That hidden part? We call it the Shadow.
But there’s something else in there too. A voice that tells you you’re not good enough. That you should wait. That you’ll fail anyway. That voice is not your Shadow. That voice is Part X.
Here’s the crucial difference:
- Part X wants to sabotage you. It refuses to work with you. It wants to stay hidden and keep you small. It never evolves.
- Your Shadow is the opposite. It wants a relationship with you. It’s been waiting, sometimes for decades, to be welcomed back. It can transform. It holds gifts you didn’t know you had. Your intuition, creativity, wisdom.
- Every time you fight Part X, you fight for your Shadow.
What changes when you learn to tell them apart:
Internal doors open: genuine confidence, inner calm, self-trust. External doors open: you stop projecting, stop self-sabotaging, start attracting what actually fits.
This isn’t positive thinking. This isn’t another vision board. This is learning to recognize what’s trying to destroy you and what’s been waiting to help you all along.
In this 3.5-hour workshop, you’ll:
Recognize where you’re stuck and why the same patterns keep returning
Learn to distinguish between Part X and your Shadow through experience, not theory
Meet your Shadow, not to fix it, but to welcome it back as an ally
Leave with your personal State Shift Protocol and one clear action

About Sylvia
I know that hiding. Intimately. For years.
I was stuck in a career that no longer fit who I was becoming. And I was addicted to everything outside myself. Work, recognition, stuff, wine, distraction. Society wouldn’t call most of these addictions. I would.
Anything to avoid feeling what was actually alive inside me.
By 2016, I had tried everything. Psychology courses. Coaching certifications. Personal development programs. Smart people, good intentions, but nothing gave me a practical method that actually worked in the moment when I needed it most.
Then I discovered Phil Stutz’s Tools. And everything shifted.
Not overnight. Not easily. Still a work in progress. But real.
I flew to Los Angeles to learn directly from Phil. I completed the Heroic Coach certification. I became alcohol-free, 1.5 years now. But more importantly: I found my own source of energy instead of endlessly searching for it outside myself.
The State Shift Method is where these worlds meet: Stutz’s Tools for breaking through resistance and the Heroic framework for showing up daily.
Now I help people all over the world to close the gap between knowing and doing.
You are so welcome in this workshop to meet your shadow.
