đŸŽ™ïž Rebel Truths Episode: "Playing Small Is Selfish as F*ck"

Let’s get one thing straight:
🚹 Playing small isn’t responsible. It’s not humble. It’s not noble.
đŸ’„ It’s SELFISH. Period.

In this fire-fueled episode, I’m breaking down the real cost of dimming your light and shrinking your power.

You think you’re protecting yourself from judgment

But what you’re actually doing is robbing the world of the magic only you can bring.

Every time you hesitate, downplay your brilliance, or wait for “the right time”...
đŸš« Someone else misses the message, the permission, the activation they need from you.

đŸ”„ Inside this episode:

💣 Why playing small is the ultimate form of self-absorption
💣 The hidden damage you’re doing by staying quiet, safe, or “relatable”
💣 How shrinking your power to be liked is blocking your impact
💣 What it actually looks like to take up space with unapologetic leadership
💣 The shift that turns fear into fuel—and gets you SEEN, PAID, and RESPECTED

đŸ’„ Rebel Truth Punches:

🧹 “Your fear of being ‘too much’ is stopping you from giving enough.”
🧹 “You’re not being humble. You’re hiding.”
🧹 “Your power isn’t about you—it’s about what it does for everyone else who sees you lead.”

🎯 This episode is for you if:

✅ You’ve been second-guessing your boldest ideas
✅ You’re tired of filtering your voice to be more “digestible”
✅ You know you’re built for bigger—but you’ve been playing in safe zones
✅ You’re ready to be remembered for your impact, not your politeness

🎧 Listen now & get the f*ck out of your own way.
đŸ”„ Because impact > insecurity. Always.
