What if the very thing you’ve been praised for; being humble, easygoing, low-key is actually the thing holding back your leadership?

In this powerful opening episode, I share the truth about playing small and why it’s not humility… it’s self-suppression.

I unpack the hidden cost of shrinking yourself in business, leadership, and life and how it’s time to stop dimming your light for the comfort of others.

You’ll hear a deeply personal story from my journey, a science-backed reason our brains confuse safety with silence, and a reframing tool you can use today to take up more space with confidence and authenticity.

💭 What we cover in this episode:

• The myth of humility and how it masks fear

• What “playing small” really communicates as a leader

• A neuroscience perspective on why visibility can feel threatening

• A powerful self-coaching prompt to expand your presence

• How to stop outsourcing your voice and own your space

“You weren’t born to be palatable. You were born to be powerful — with heart.”
