Have you ever walked into a room and instantly felt small? The truth is, intimidation isn’t a sign you don’t belong—it’s a sign you’re growing.

In this episode, I share how to:

* Reframe intimidation as proof you’re stepping into growth.

* Walk into new spaces with both humility and confidence.

* Decide for yourself which rooms are worthy of your presence.

* Use curiosity to break the ice and connect with others authentically.

* Recognize when a space aligns with your vision—and when it doesn’t.

By the end, you’ll feel empowered to claim your place in the rooms that call you forward, knowing that the people you once feared are just people too—imperfect, human, and once standing right where you are now.
