Summary

In this episode of Vibe's Jojolicious, I discussed the importance of recognising and overcoming the tendency to shrink oneself in various aspects of life. She emphasises the need for individuals to take up space, assert their needs, and embrace their true selves as they move into 2026. The conversation is filled with empowering messages aboutself-worth, boundaries, and the significance of community support.

Takeaways

•  Some of us worked into 2026 excited and hopeful.
• This is the year you stop apologising for being awesome.
• Shrinking can be subtle and quiet.
• You shrink when you don't correct people who cross your boundaries.
• Ask yourself, where have I been shrinking? You will feel uncomfortable in places that used to feel good.
• Stop over-explaining your decisions.
• Choose relationships that make you feel seen.
• Celebrate your wins, no matter how small.
• This is your year to step fully into who God designed you to be.
