Episode 43: The High Cost of Playing Small
Have you ever felt like you were meant for more—but something keeps holding you back? Maybe you hesitate to speak up, you downplay your expertise, or you’re waiting for the “right time” to finally step into your full potential.
Here’s the truth: Playing small comes at a cost. And it’s not just lost opportunities—it’s lost confidence, lost growth, and lost impact.
In today’s episode, I’m unpacking why we shrink ourselves, how to recognize the hidden costs of playing small, and, most importantly, how to break free from fear and start stepping into your power.
Because you weren’t made to sit in the shadows—you were made to shine. And the world needs your voice, your leadership, and your impact.
In this episode, we cover:
✅ How to recognize where you’re playing small in your life and business
✅ The hidden cost of underestimating yourself (and why it’s keeping you stuck)
✅ 4 powerful steps to start playing bigger today
✅ A bold challenge to push past fear and take action
Plus, I’ll share a personal story of when I held myself back—and what it took to finally step into my next level.
