In this episode, I open up about a deeply personal realization I had during a health coaching session, one that connected my weight gain, lingering cough, and even my fear of being truly visible in my work.

For months, I thought I was protecting myself by being “careful” with what I shared online, especially on LinkedIn. I wanted to be hireable, palatable, acceptable. But underneath that “safety,” I was holding myself back from being me. This conversation is for anyone who has ever dimmed their light out of fear of judgment, rejection, or not belonging.

I talk about:

- The surprising link between safety, fear of being seen, and how it shows up in our bodies.

- Why we hold ourselves back after failure or rejection — and how to move forward anyway.

- The power of saying yes to yourself and courageously showing up as the real you.

- If you’ve been quietly playing small, this is your reminder: your authentic voice is the thing that will set you free.
