Ep. 31 The High Price of Playing Small: Why Your Words, Your Mindset, and Your Courage Matter More Than You Think with Luann Horobin

If you’ve ever found yourself holding back, dimming your light, or shrinking because it felt safer than being seen — this episode is for you.

This week on CLARATY in Action, I sit down with Luann Horobin, a neuroscience-based executive coach who has spent over two decades helping high performers break through mental barriers, rewrite limiting narratives, and step boldly into who they’re meant to be.

We go deep into the psychology of self-sabotage, the hidden cost of playing small, and how the language we use — with ourselves and others — becomes a blueprint for either our limits or our evolution.

Luann brings clarity (no pun intended…but kind of) to how our brain protects us through patterns of fear, doubt, and hesitation — and how vulnerability is not weakness, but the bridge to growth, connection, confidence, and sustainable success.

This episode will challenge the stories you’ve been repeating, call out the subtle ways you are keeping yourself “safe” instead of successful, and give you practical neuroscience-backed tools to expand what you believe is possible.

Whether you're a leader, entrepreneur, executive, or someone who knows you’re capable of more — this conversation will help you step out of hiding and into aligned impact.

🔑 Key themes inside this episode:

• How subtle language reveals (and reinforces) fear
• The neuroscience of stepping into growth
• What really happens when we finally stop playing small
• Vulnerability as the catalyst for confidence and transformation
• Practical mindset shifts to unlock bold leadership and action

This isn’t motivation.
It’s activation.

👉 If you’re ready to lead bigger, grow braver, and finally stop abandoning your own potential — press play.
