What if the thing that’s really keeping you stuck isn’t time or confidence, but the parts of your story you’ve hidden away? In this episode, I open up about the day that changed everything for me, when I finally let the scary parts of me be seen.

I dive deep into all the reasons we stay small, why fear of judgment feels so heavy, how ego tricks us into staying quiet, and what actually happens when you give yourself permission to share your truth. Writing my story and exposing it to the world was the freedom I never knew I needed. But the book is only the byproduct - it’s about reclaiming your confidence, connection, and most importantly: Yourself.

Here are the Highlights:

06:45 – The day I stopped hiding and the miraculous thing that happened next

09:10 – Judgment, childhood play, and my son’s lion moment

13:47 – How ego keeps us quiet and the trick we all fell for

22:29 – The fear of leaving people behind (and doing it anyway)

25:45 – Why real connection always starts with storytelling

32:21 – Publishing my book, scary freedom, and the 1% club

35:41 – Authority doesn’t come from titles, it comes from truth
