#7 You’re Not Stuck — You’re Underplaying Your Power (And You Know It)
Ever had that moment where you realise you've been holding yourself back: sticking to what's comfortable, safe, and familiar...even though deep down, you know you're meant for more? In this episode, we’re talking about what it actually means to “play small,” how to tell when it's happening, and what to do when you're ready to take up more space.
I’ll share why this topic kept coming up with clients (and why I almost didn’t record it — ironic, I know), how fear and nervous system dysregulation can keep us in cycles of self-sabotage, and why growing your business or life requires expanding your capacity, not just your mindset.
You’ll learn the three key areas to focus on when you’re ready to play bigger: mindset, body, and community; along with personal examples and practical tools for each. From visualising your growth container to shaking off stress like a dog after play (yes, really), we’ll explore how to move through resistance and build a life and business that matches your ambition.
This one’s for you if you know you’re meant for more but haven’t quite made the leap. It’s okay —you’re not behind, you’re just getting ready to step into your feature pyramid.
P.S. The concept I share about dogs shaking off the stress is known as completing the stress response loop!
Reflection Questions from Today’s Episode:
- Where have I been holding myself back and where do I actually want to go next in my life or business?
(Be honest: what have you been avoiding or delaying, even though you know it’s time?) - Am I grounded and present enough in my body to take the next step?
Or have I been stuck in stress, anxiety, or fear? If so, what needs to shift so I can move forward with clarity? - What values guide how I work and make decisions?
Are the people I surround myself with aligned with those values or are they expanding what I believe is possible?
