We Were Never Meant to Live Behind a Mask

I help women who have spent years conforming, performing, and people-pleasing reconnect with who they truly are — so you can release expectations, reclaim your voice, and step fully into a life that feels aligned, confident, and free.

You Were Never Meant to Shrink or Perform

Hi, I’m Antoinette McCormick — life coach, speaker, and host of Hot Flashes & Cold Truths. I help women who are tired of wearing masks, following scripts, and living by everyone else’s expectations finally come home to themselves.

For years, women have been taught to silence their truth, suppress their needs, and keep the peace at the cost of their identity. I chose a different path — and now I help other women do the same.

It’s time to stop living by the expectations placed on you.

You’ve spent years showing up, holding it all together, and becoming who you needed to be for everyone else. Somewhere along the way, you learned to mute yourself, wear the mask, and push through.
This is where that stops.
Through one-on-one coaching, you’ll strip back the expectations, unlearn the conditioning, and reconnect with who you actually are — not who you were told to be. This is about clarity, confidence, and finally living life on your own terms.
