Most people are hiding. They shrink their dreams, their voice, their light—because someone once told them they were “too much.”

But here’s the truth: you are not too much. You are exactly enough.

In this solo episode, I share a raw stories and moments I almost played small—when fear, self-doubt, and the temptation to dim my sparkle almost won. I’ll walk you through what it felt like, the turning point when I finally said never again, and the wisdom that shifted everything.

Because the world doesn’t benefit when you shrink—it suffers. Your sparkle isn’t optional, it’s your responsibility. And when you shine, you give others permission to do the same.

***What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• How to catch yourself when you’re dimming and ask, “Am I doing this for me—or to make someone else comfortable?”
• Why doing one bold thing today that feels scary can set you free.
• A simple daily practice to remind yourself that you are enough.

***My Favorite Quotes:

• “Stop dimming your light for someone else’s comfort.”
• “You are worthy, simply because you are you.”
• “Your sparkle isn’t optional—it’s your power.”

The quote I have hanging on my wall: 

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous,
talented and fabulous?

Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small does not serve the world.
There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other
people won’t feel insecure around you.

We were born to make manifest the glory of
God that is within us.

It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine,
we unconsciously give other people
permission to do the same.

As we are liberated from our own fear,
Our presence automatically liberates others.” — Marianne Williamson

My Sparks for YOU:

If today’s episode spoke to your heart, share it with a friend who needs to be reminded of their brilliance. That’s how we spread the light—and the whiskey wisdom too.

And if you haven’t yet, hit follow so you don’t miss what’s coming next.

Remember: you are worthy just because you are you. Don’t let anyone, ever, dull your sparkle.

In this episode of Wheat Fields, Wisdom & Whiskey, I sit down with certified holistic nutritionist and digital course mentor Leigh McSwan to explore what it really means to build a life and business rooted in freedom, alignment, and integrity.

We talk about the bold pivots, the quiet nudges, and the brave decisions that led her to leave a successful wellness brand behind — and how she now helps other health practitioners scale their wisdom into impactful digital courses through her signature DCC program.

This is an episode about walking away from what no longer fits, trusting your evolution, and creating space for something more supportive, soul-led, and sustainable.  Key Take Aways  From the Episode:

• Freedom & Alignment Over Success: True business success is about creating a life that feels free and aligned with your values — not just chasing external markers.
• Trusting the Growth Process: Growth often requires letting go of what no longer fits, even if it’s been successful or comfortable.
• Bold Pivots Can Lead to Soul-Led Business: Making brave decisions to pivot opens up space for a more sustainable and meaningful path.
• The Power of The Quiet Nudges: Sometimes subtle inner calls guide us toward change, and paying attention to those can transform your journey.
• Scaling Wisdom Through Digital Courses: Sharing your knowledge in an impactful way allows you to reach more people without burning out.
• Integrity as a Business Foundation: Building with integrity attracts the right clients and supports long-term fulfillment.
