Ever notice how your work always has to make sense?
How it can’t be light.
How you feel the need to contribute something substantial every time you speak?
Sometimes that’s integrity.
And sometimes it’s a systemic shadow.
In many systems, presence wasn’t enough.
You belonged because you were useful, insightful, or made things make sense.
So depth became safety.
Clarity became control.
And explaining became a way to stay.
This episode isn’t about doing less or dumbing down.
It’s about noticing when “depth” becomes a hiding place.
Because when everything is airtight, nothing can really touch you.
What if saying less isn’t a loss of value; but a sign of trust?
Listen if you’re curious what happens when you speak from place instead of role.
Want to know how your subconscious influences your life?
In February 2026, I was invited to the 500-person Yes Life Summit, where I shared a Yes to Life hypnosis. Inside you will see what's currently blocking you in saying yes to yourself.
