What if the very thing you’ve been praised for; being humble, easygoing, low-key is actually the thing holding back your leadership?
In this powerful opening episode, I share the truth about playing small and why it’s not humility… it’s self-suppression.
I unpack the hidden cost of shrinking yourself in business, leadership, and life and how it’s time to stop dimming your light for the comfort of others.
You’ll hear a deeply personal story from my journey, a science-backed reason our brains confuse safety with silence, and a reframing tool you can use today to take up more space with confidence and authenticity.

The myth of humility and how it masks fear
