Today’s episode is one that’s been stirring in my heart for a while. We’re talking about something I see in almost every client I work with and if you’re listening, I’d guess it lives somewhere in you, too:
✨ The fear of being fully seen ✨ The subtle ways we shrink ✨ The quiet ache of dimming your sparkle to stay safe
Maybe you wouldn’t call it that, but maybe you’ve felt it. That moment of hesitation before saying the bold thing… That voice that says, “Tone it down…” That feeling of being… fine, but not fully alive.
This episode is for the part of you that’s so ready to stop playing small but still scared to take up space.
We’re going deep into:
The myth that success = aliveness
The ancestral roots of fear and the Witch Wound
The modern ways we cap our joy, magic, and radiance
And how to begin healing… not by pushing harder, but by creating safety in your body to be fully, wildly you.
This isn’t a mindset pep talk. It’s a soul-level remembering. A nervous-system recalibration. A return to your sparkle.
💡 In this episode, we explore:What “high-functioning dissatisfaction” really is (and how it hides behind your to-do list)
Why feeling dim doesn’t mean you’re broken, just disconnected from your aliveness
How the Witch Wound still lives in our bodies today (even if you’ve never heard the term)
The sneaky ways we self-edit and shrink- even in small, everyday moments
Why your nervous system resists joy and visibility (and how to gently rewire it)
Tangible tools to reconnect with pleasure, radiance, and your most expressed self
You’re not too much : you’ve just been taught to be less.
You don’t need a bigger life. You need a brighter one.
Your sparkle is not a threat. It’s a gift.
You don’t need to start over, you just need to start glowing again.
“I should be happy… so why do I feel a little off?”
“I want more, but I’m scared to want too much.”
“I used to feel so alive… where did that version of me go?”
If any of that lands, this episode is for you.
