Do you ever feel like you’re hiding who you really are? In this episode, we explore why you may fear being seen, how shame makes us play small, and what it takes to finally shine with confidence.

Whether it’s childhood conditioning, imposter syndrome, or just not wanting to “take up too much space,” these fears are real—and they keep so many of us from showing up fully. But the truth is: you’re not too much. You were meant to shine.

You’ll learn:

• What’s really holding you back from being visible

• How fear of judgment or rejection shapes your self-image

• Why “playing small” feels safe—but costs you joy

• How to build the confidence to take up space and speak your truth

This is your permission slip to be bold, to be seen, and to stop shrinking in order to belong. You are worthy. You are powerful. And it’s time to stop hiding.
