Zalman is my therapist—and my secret weapon.
When I was unraveling, he didn’t just offer support. He helped me see the patterns running my life and gave me language sharp enough to cut through them.
His insights show up everywhere in Permission to Be Powerful—because they changed me. Now I want them to reach you.
This is your introduction to Zalman, LCSW. You’ll be hearing more from him.

Dear Permission to be Powerful Reader,
People treat you the way you treat yourself.
And until you connect more to yourself and your feelings…
And learn more about yourself via observing and noticing thoughts and feelings…
You'll treat yourself and speak to yourself and see yourself…
The same way you were raised to see yourself.
But that also means that by working on you and making changes.
Everything around you SHIFTS and changes.
Like a small drop that hits the water…
Making huge ripple effects in all directions.
