The Joy I Shrunk to be “Professional” & Fit In

13 minutes

What if the parts of you you’ve been hiding… are actually the parts meant to lead you back to yourself?

In this episode, I’m sharing the realization I had around how long I’ve been shrinking my joy, muting my passions, and trying to look “professional” instead of fully being myself.

In this episode, I talk about:

How fear of judgment can disconnect us from what we love

Why I stopped downplaying my Disney obsession, book nerdiness, and joy

How joy, play, and fun help you show up better in life and business

Questions to ask yourself about what lights you up right now

Why your people can’t find you if you keep hiding who you are

Maybe the thing you’ve been shrinking is the very thing that makes you magnetic. What would change if you let it take up space?
