About Isabell
Hi, I'm Isabell. I'm a visionary therapist and the founder of SHiFT, a groundbreaking mental health app that removes barriers to accessing the transformative benefits of therapy while promoting greater representation in the mental health field.
Over the past decade, I have been dedicated to educating, empowering, and revolutionizing the way we love ourselves and others and teaching Emotional Maturity.
As the mother of an amazing son and a woman who was married for many years, the end of my relationship marked the beginning of my life's purpose—turning my mess into my message.
Growing up in a fragmented family, I vowed to be smarter than my parents when it came to love. But despite my extensive education and numerous checklists, nothing could save me from becoming another shitty divorce statistic, like millions of others.
Romantic Attraction is important, but Emotional Maturity is love.
Beyond my devastation, depression, and despair, I needed answers for why relationships end. Because I wasn’t ready to give up on love, I just needed to figure out why some people have great relationships, while the majority of us do not.
After months of obsessively researching the topic of love, I discovered the answers to my burning questions and I began sharing my discovery with thousands of people, many of whom were bitter and resigned about love, or on dating apps, feeling more discouraged and disconnected than ever. I soon realized that my discovery would forever change the way we think about love.
I also began to see that for those who grew up in dysfunctional childhoods, where emotional needs were not met - the need to feel safe, secure and loved – the heartbreak and pain in relationships was just more “evidence" that we are unworthy of love. This is why we stay in unfulfilling and unhealthy relationships, hustling for love, and believing something is intrinsically wrong with us.
There’s nothing wrong with you. We’re just growing up in a culture that doesn’t value the knowledge, skills, and healing that’s required for successful relationships. So, we take a “trial and error” approach to love and the odds are not in our favor.
It’s time to learn the New Model For Love, and stop wasting your time with the wrong people.
