The No Cry Zone

Are You Shrinking?


Listen Later

In this NoCryZone episode, Jim Best tackles one of the most overlooked habits holding people back from their potential - the quiet, polite, socially approved act of shrinking yourself.

We don’t disappear overnight; we disappear in millimeters - every time we downplay a win, silence an idea, or soften our truth so others stay comfortable. Shrinking feels safe, even noble. But it drains confidence, dulls creativity, and erodes authenticity.

Jim exposes why we do it, how the world rewards smallness, and the high cost of living below our own potential. He then reveals practical, powerful ways to stop shrinking — to reclaim confidence, voice, and visibility — and how that shift ignites the Perpetual Momentum Engine that drives lasting growth.

This episode is a direct challenge to play bigger, live truer, and stop apologizing for your full presence.

Because the moment you stop shrinking, you start expanding - not just yourself, but what’s possible for everyone watching.

Key themes: Authenticity • Courage • Confidence • Personal Sovereignty • Momentum • Growth
