Why Smart Women Keep Losing Arguments
Even When They’re Right
​
The Self-Gut Check Method is your 3-day reset to communicate with poise, re-center your goals, and stop reacting from pressure, guilt, or emotional overload.
For the Woman Who’s Done Shrinking
You’ve tried to stay calm. You’ve tried to be clear. You’ve tried to choose your battles.
But somehow, you still walk away from hard conversations either going off, shutting down, or over-explaining just to keep the peace.
You know you’re capable of leading with grace and clarity.
But too often, your emotions hijack the moment.
You’re not dramatic. You’re just done being the strong one who has to silence herself to hold everything together.
It’s time to become the emotional planner your future deserves.

What Is the Self-Gut Check Method?
Created by Davina Dandridge, author of Brains and Baubles and developer of the Emotional Sophistication Map, this method was born from years of coaching high-performing women and studying communication breakdowns in real life, not theory.
​
The Self-Gut Check Method helps you go from Triggered Responder to Emotional Planner, in real time.
​
This method is not about meditation. It’s not a routine for quiet mornings. It’s a 5-part strategic pause you can use in the middle of a heated moment, a difficult conversation, or a decision you're about to regret.
What’s Inside the 3-Day Course
Build emotional precision, protect your peace, and communicate like the woman you've quietly dreamed of becoming.
Day 1: Name It Before You Carry It
Learn how to identify what you’re truly feeling so you can stop reacting based on confusion, pressure, or old emotional habits. When you name your emotions clearly, you no longer carry what doesn’t belong to you.
​
You’ll leave this session with a stronger sense of personal clarity and emotional relief.

Day 2: Redesign the Win
Get crystal clear about what you want in conversations, relationships, and decisions, without guilt or second-guessing. This day gives you the tools to clarify your personal goals and detach from outcomes that were never yours to manage.
You’ll stop over-explaining and start feeling grounded in your own vision.
