In this unapologetically honest episode, you'll uncover how the words you choose shape your beliefs, behaviours, and ultimately, your reality. It's time to stop outsourcing your power.

If you’ve been feeling like you’re meant for more - but something keeps holding you back - this episode might be just what you need right now. Beyond the Voice: The Real Reasons You're Playing Small (And How to Rise Out of It) gently explores what’s really going on beneath the surface when you feel stuck, even though you’re smart, capable, and working hard.
You’ll discover why trying to “feel more confident” hasn’t been the answer - and how shifting into courage first can open up new possibilities. You’ll hear four subtle but powerful patterns that may have been slowing you down: the stories you tell yourself, the pressure you carry, the fear of letting go, and the habit of comparing yourself to others.
Inside, you’ll take away:
- A kinder, more helpful way to reframe your self-talk so you can start moving forward again
- How to find the space between comfort and burnout - and finally build sustainable momentum
- Why certainty isn’t required to begin (and how waiting for it might be holding you back)
You don’t need to change who you are - just start trusting yourself more deeply and free yourself. Stop waiting for permission. Pick yourself, back yourself, and rise.
