Hello Gorgeous, welcome back to The Main Character Experience™!
This episode is for the woman who knows she’s been playing small, waiting for the “perfect moment,” or hiding the truest version of herself.
I’m sharing exactly what happened when I finally stopped hiding, claimed my voice, and boldly declared who I’m here to serve. (Spoiler alert: everything changed — my community reignited, doors opened, and I could feel God smiling like, “Finally, boo.”)
If you’ve been feeling stuck, invisible, or scared to take that first bold step, this is your wake-up call.
We’ll talk about:
- Why fear keeps us behind the curtain (and how to push past it)
- The game-changing shift that happened when I owned my voice
- How to take one bold step this week toward the life you know you’re meant to live
Your challenge: Where are you hiding? Where are you shrinking when you know you’re called to expand? This week, do ONE bold thing that moves you closer to your truth.
