Break Through Your Invisible Ceiling
Why you keep holding yourself back when deep down you know so much more is possible for you - and what actually shifts it.
Friday, 28 August · 9:30 a.m. Lisbon & London · 10:30 a.m. Berlin · live on Zoom
(Early bird in North America? The replay has you covered.)
Hosted by Anouk Knuffmann, mindset & wealth coach. In May, 600 women did this work live with her. This is the first time she's teaching it in English.
You already know something is off.
Maybe it looks like this:
- You have the strategy. You've hired the business coach, bought the course, filled the Google Doc. And when it's time to actually implement… you freeze.
- You start showing up online, it works, people respond. And the moment more eyes are on you, you quietly pull back.
- You have your biggest month in business ever. And then you ghost your audience for three weeks.
- On the sales call, you hear yourself say a smaller number than the one you decided on. Before she even objected. Or worse: you never say it out loud at all - you hide the price in an email afterwards.
- You've been "about to start" for a year. One more certification first. One more course. Then you'll be ready.
- Success feels incredible for about three days. Then something in you finds a way to shrink everything back to the size that feels familiar.
And the worst part? You can SEE yourself doing it. You're smart enough to watch your own self-sabotage in real time. You just can't seem to stop it.
You don't lack discipline. Or knowledge. Or strategy.
If more information could fix this, you'd have fixed it years ago.
Here's what I learned the hard way, in my own business:
Strategy only takes you as far as your nervous system feels safe.
You have an inner thermostat. A setting for how much success, money and visibility feels safe to you. The moment life grows up past that setting - more clients, more visibility, more income - something in you quietly turns the temperature back down.
You hesitate. You hide. You sabotage the thing that was finally working.
That "something" is made of three forces working together. One of them you've heard of - the nervous system. Everyone's talking about it right now. But be honest: has scrolling past regulation tips changed your pattern? Knowing the word and changing your setting are two different things. And the nervous system is only one of the three.
In the workshop I'll show you how all three work together - and you'll feel where your own thermostat is set.
Because self-sabotage is self-protection. Your nervous system doesn't ask "do I want more?"
It asks "is more safe?"
"You spoke to my soul."
In May of this year I stood on a stage in front of 600 women and told the story I used to hide: how I built a successful business on the outside while quietly sabotaging it from the inside.
Afterwards, women lined up to talk to me. And so many of them said a version of the same sentence:
"I can feel there's more out there for me. I'm not living up to my full potential. And I keep getting in my own way."
If that sentence is yours too, this workshop is for you.
In these 90 minutes you will:
- Find out where YOUR invisible ceiling is - the exact patterns where you've been holding yourself back (you'll recognize yourself faster than you'd like)
- Meet the three hidden forces that set your inner thermostat, and why willpower loses against them every single time
- Understand why the freeze-retreat-sabotage cycle keeps repeating, no matter how much you learn
- Do a live tapping session with me to expand your capacity - so you leave with the shift started, not just explained
This is a workshop, not a webinar. You won't be watching slides for 90 minutes while someone talks at you. You'll be working on your own ceiling, live.
I know this pattern from the inside.
In February 2025, I re-launched my group program. My goal was €15,000 to €20,000. That already felt big to me.
Five minutes after I shared the link, the first woman bought. Then the second. Within 24 hours, four clients. After 28 days, almost 30,000€ in sales.
People came up to me, celebrating my success.
I should have been celebrating, too. On the outside, I was.
But inside, a quiet voice said: "Oh no. Now everyone can see you. What if you can't hold this?"
So I did what so many of us do. I got less visible. I sold less. I slowed everything down. And I called it "taking a breather."
Today I know what it was: self-sabotage. My mind was ready for that level. My nervous system wasn't.
Finding the way out of that pattern changed everything.
One year later, I stood live on stage teaching this work to 600 women. Me - the woman who had failed at public speaking three times before.
Off the back of that keynote, 35 new clients joined me in a single month - while I kept holding space for every client I already had - and I hit my highest cash months twice in a row.
And life didn't pause to make room for any of it. At home, everything was changing: I was finding my feet in a brand-new co-parenting reality, in motherhood, in life itself. And I still protected time for myself and the things I love.
A year earlier, one big launch was too much for my system. This time I could hold all of it - because now I know exactly what it takes.
That's what I want to show you on 28 August.
Hi, I'm Anouk.
I'm a mindset & wealth coach for ambitious women. I work with tapping, subconscious work and the nervous system, because that's where the real ceiling lives - and I've helped hundreds of women break through theirs: raise their prices, show up visibly, finally start the thing.
German-born, I left at 21 - First South Africa, then Spain and Portugal. Today I live in a beautiful portuguese surf-town with my daughter, and I run my business from the beach more often than from a desk.
I created this workshop because I kept meeting the same woman over and over: smart, capable, already successful on paper. And still playing smaller than she knows she could. If you've read this far, you might be her.

Questions you might have
- I can't make it live. Should I still sign up?
- Yes. Everyone who signs up gets the replay. But if you can be there live, be there live - the tapping session at the end works differently when we do it together.
- I've never done tapping. Is that a problem?
- Nope. I'll guide you through every step.
- Is this another webinar that's secretly a 60-minute sales pitch?
- No. You'll do the actual work in the room: find your ceiling, learn the three forces, tap live. At the end I'll tell you what's next for the women who want to go deeper, in a few minutes, openly. The workshop delivers either way.
- I have a job, not a business. Is this still for me?
- If you keep holding yourself back from what you actually want - asking for the raise, starting the thing, standing up for yourself - yes. The ceiling works exactly the same way.
- What's this "tapping" thing anyway?
- Tapping (EFT) is a simple technique where you tap gently on specific points of your body while speaking out loud. It calms your nervous system while you face the thing that scares you. It looks a little funny but works. Come, try for yourself.
More is possible for you. Deep down you know it. You feel the pull.
When I first taught this work, 275 women signed up within days and my program filled with 35 clients. This is the first time I'm teaching it in English - and I'd love for you to be in the room.
