Being small (personality, emotionally and professionally)is how I played most of my childhood into my teen years and also into my adult life.  It made it easier for me to feel invisible and play into that small space. I didn't have to try very hard or accept responsibility for myself or my outcomes as long as things looked OK on the surface. Not facing fears was my M.O.

I think over the past 3 years I've started unpeeling those layers that have held me back.  It has allowed me to open and experience an authentic freedom from the mental and emotional 'prison' I had built up.  My evolution still unfolds on a daily basis but the fact that I've started this process makes me feel very grateful and proud.
