Are you holding yourself back, even though deep down you know you’re meant for more?

Thats the question this week .. are you holding back and playing small?
I’m talking about this because I know so many of us grapple with it, not because we lack ambition or drive (far from it), but because fear, perfectionism, and the desire to feel safe keep us from taking that next step. In this episode, I open up about my own moments of holding back, and invite you to reflect on whether you’re doing the same.

This is for anyone who’s ever looked around and thought, I know I could be doing more, but I’m not. If that’s you, we’re going to explore:
What playing small really looks like—and why it often hides behind perfectionism, overthinking, and playing it safe
- Why playing small doesn’t mean you lack ambition, and how even the most driven women can feel stuck
- The surprising role fear plays in keeping you “safe” and how to start shifting out of that mindset
- Simple ways to recognise when you’re holding yourself back—and what to do instead
- How surrounding yourself with people who are already playing bigger can help you raise your own game
- A mindset shift to reframe fear and start stepping into your courage—one small, bold move at a time

You’ll walk away from this episode with the clarity to see where you might be playing small, and the encouragement to take one step towards something bigger.
It doesn’t have to be a giant lea, just a small, uncomfortable action that moves you forward.

🎧 Meet Your Host

Hey, I’m Shelley Bosworth, International Business and Mindset Coach, keynote speaker and founder of The Se Is Courageous Collective

 Beginning my career in the heart of the UK’s corporate world, I spent 25 years climbing the ranks across retail and hospitality, from Harrods to Starbucks to Haven Caravan Parks. Along the way, cultivating an ability to bridge the gap between strategy and people, leading large teams through transformation and growth.

In late 2019, I left the corporate world to launch her coaching business, going all in on a vision to empower others, just as the world began facing an unprecedented global pandemic. Since then I’ve worked with businesses and individuals worldwide, empowering hundreds to break through self-doubt, overcome imposter syndrome, and take bold courageous action toward their goals.

Known for my high-energy, authentic, and no-nonsense approach, I like tithing I inspire others to take courageous action and embrace the mindset shifts that make success possible. Life is too short not to go for what you want, my own story is proof of that and she I can’t wait to help you write yours.

My mission is to help women like you stop overthinking, start taking bold action, and finally go after the life and business you really want.

If you’re ready to stop second-guessing and start building real momentum, you’re in the right place.
