If you’ve ever been told you’re “too much,” this episode is going to feel like exhaling for the first time in years.

In this conversation, I open up about the version of me that learned to stay small, softer, quieter, and more convenient because my bigness made other people uncomfortable. And how that survival strategy didn’t just shape my personality… it shaped my nervous system, my gut, my hormones, and the way my body braced for decades.

We’re talking:
 ✨ the moment your body first decided “I’m too much”
 ✨ why staying small becomes your whole identity
 ✨ how chronic bracing causes bloating, cravings, burnout + inflammation
 ✨ the emotional cost of being the “easy one”
 ✨ how to safely take up space again
 ✨ micro-moments that start healing your body from the inside out

If you’ve been shrinking your voice, your needs, your excitement, or your emotions… I see you. And I made this episode for you.

Your bigness isn’t the problem, it’s your power.

IN THIS EPISODE:

• Why your gut issues might actually be freeze patterns
• How emotional suppression affects stomach acid, bile, cortisol + blood sugar
• The identity shift from “palatable” to “embodied”
• What healing looks like in daily, doable micro-moments
• The reframe that lets your body finally stop bracing

QUOTE TO REMEMBER:

“Your body isn’t broken. It’s bracing — because you were told your aliveness was too much.”
