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?
