Why You Were Taught to Tone It Down — And How It’s Still Controlling Your Life
Manage episode 499462750 series 3168640
Were you celebrated for who you truly were as a little girl… or quietly taught to tone it down?
In this episode, we’re going straight to the root—the moments in childhood when you learned it wasn’t safe to be fully you.
Not to stay stuck in the past, but to uncover the exact point you internalized:
- “I’m too much.”
- “I need to shrink to be loved.”
- “It’s safer to hold back.”
We’ll unpack:
- How innocent comments (or even a look) can shape decades of self-worth patterns
- Why this internalization drives who you date, how you set boundaries, and what you tolerate
- The exact process to break the cycle so you never have to shrink again
Because once you recognize the blueprint… you can rewrite it.
🎧 Listen now and start reclaiming the parts of you the world told you to hide.
