Welcome back to part two of our four-part mini-series all about unshrinking, unlearning, and unapologetically owning your voice.
In this episode, Devan and Kelsey dive into the best and worst advice they’ve ever received—personally, professionally, and emotionally. From unsolicited feedback that stuck around way too long, to game-changing guidance that altered how they show up in business and life… this one is juicy.
They dive into:
The advice that kicked off Devan’s journey to unapologetic confidence
Why Kelsey is rethinking when to speak up (and when to wait)
The worst things people have said to them—and how they’ve reclaimed the power
How external validation, beauty standards, and "success myths" mess with our heads
A vulnerable talk about self-image, pink hair, and the fat insults that don’t land anymore
The myth of “fake it til you make it” and what builds real confidenceThe one thing they’d tell their younger selves (and maybe you need to hear it too)
Powerful reminder: You do not need to be liked to be worthy. You don’t need to meet anyone else’s expectations to be successful. And your voice is worth using—even if it makes people uncomfortable.
