Welcome to Shedding the Bitch™ where we are challenging the paradigm that in order to be successful in business or in life you have to be a bitch.

“To be the person you’re NOT, is to waste the person you are!”

Millions of men, women, young boys and girls experience it once in their lifetime – an individual who gets in someone’s face, has an ax to grind with the world, thinks bullying people will get them what they want, or who simply has been faced with the biggest challenge of their life. The way they respond is all BITCH. Do you know someone like that?

I was that someone, for a very long time. Shedding the Corporate Bitch is my story of how I thought in order to rise to the top of my corporate career, to earn the money I deserved, and to succeed in the boardroom, I had to be a bitch.

Shedding the Corporate Bitch and all of the other topics in the Shedding the Bitch™ series focuses on various areas of life where men and women of all ages have shifted their life from bitch too beloved.

I look forward to bringing you my story and invite you to check out Chapter 1 now available. Then stay tuned for other funny, inspiring and take action stories that cover topics as vast as Relationship, Divorce, Male, Cancer, Menopause and more. If you have stories and topics you would like us to address please let us know – Submit Your Topic/Story today!

What 1 thing is holding you back from pursuing and achieving  your goals and dreams?

List it: ______________________________________________________________

What is the solution (there always is one)? ______________________________________________________________________

At one time or another every one of us experience some negativity, insecurity, or angst about what it is we are wanting to achieve in life. After all, no one wants to leave this ONLY life we have saying we did not do what we really, truly and passionately wanted to do.

What is the bitch in your mind, in your life that is stopping you? Be honest!!!  Write it out, that is powerful in itself: _______________________________________________________________________________________

YOU deserve to accomplish anything you want to. Be honest with yourself no matter how hard it is and just shed it from your life and your mind. You will get what you want if you do.

Trust me….. I have been through it myself.

Negative Mindsets and Belief Systems = Bitch

by Bernadette on June 22, 2010

When I first started writing this book – Shedding the Corporate Bitch, it was and still is a confession of my days in corporate when I decided that being a bitch was the only way that I could climb the corporate ladder and achieve the success that I wanted.

As I began to write it, and then market it around the country, I have had hundreds of people come up to me and tell me about the ‘bitch’ that they were dealing with. At first I expected to hear about another woman, and more often than expected, men that treated people like crap and forced their way up the ladder.

Instead what people were telling me and I in turn started learning about myself, is that my ‘bitch’ was not just the ugly, curt, mean, or rude personality traits that one may define and characterize someone being a bitch. I was quickly realizing that the real bitch was not someone else at all – or their personality. The bitch was the junk people have in their minds, thoughts, and beliefs.

The bitch was the ugliness that men and women internalize about themselves that holds them back, down, and out from believing in themselves and therefore the dreams and desires they have for life, love, business and more.

The bitch was both the internal fighting we are doing with ourselves, as well as the external fighting/arguing/bitching we are doing with others.

So my question to you – what bitch are you dealing with internally that is preventing you from achieving all of the things you so crave?

What negative beliefs or mindset do you have that leaves you completely frozen in place, or even pushing you backward?

What bitch are you NOT dealing with, confronting, and standing up to internally that if you did, you would be completely transformed to create anything you can dream?

I would love to hear from you and determine how my own lessons can help you!

Bitch Does Not = Success
