What if the parts of you you’ve spent a lifetime hiding, the quietness, the sensitivity, the urge to shrink, were never weaknesses at all?
In this episode, I share my personal story of how I’ve navigated shyness over 51 years. From childhood moments that wired me to retreat, to Instagram Lives that stretched every edge of my nervous system.
This is the journey of reclaiming a new kind of power, one that doesn’t require performance, volume, or perfection.
For years, I believed my shyness was something to overcome. Something that made me less than. Something that held me back from speaking, leading, and being seen.
But what if the quietness was never the problem?
What if the real issue was how the world responded to it?
💭 If you’ve ever hidden your voice
💭 Avoided being seen — even when you want to be
💭 Or felt like your quietness disqualifies you…
This episode is for you.
Because shyness is a trait — not a flaw.
And sometimes the most powerful thing you can do…
is show up exactly as you are.
