Why is it that the moment you step into your power, people around you start warning you, doubting you, or trying to keep you “safe”? In this episode, I explore why this happens — and how to free yourself from their fears.

In this intimate solo episode, I talk about a phenomenon so many leaders and high achievers experience: the moment you rise, others feel afraid on your behalf. They caution you, they advise you, they project their own insecurities onto your path.

I share how easily we get pulled into their fear — how quickly doubt can creep in and make us abandon our dreams before they even start. And I walk you through my own journey of reclaiming my power by cutting the ropes to those who needed me to stay small.

You’ll hear why your environment matters more than you think, why you cannot rise with people who need you to shrink, and how choosing yourself can completely shift the trajectory of your life.

This episode is an invitation to step into your boldness, your clarity, and your inner peace — even when others don’t understand it.

“You can’t rise if you keep people around who need you to stay on the ground.”
