Have you been told you're too much?

You laugh too loud?

Talk too much?

Are too direct?

Or is it just me?

Lol because I know it's not.

From very young ages, women are taught to play small, to be small, and to not rock the boat.

I was praised when I did what others wanted me to do over what I wanted to do.

I was threatened or punished if I spoke up for myself or my needs.

How does this show up in our lives as young women and beyond?

We learn to hide our true selves and abandon our desires and wants.

This leads us to feeling bitter and resentful.

Even more worrisome, we can feel like no one knows the real us.

No more.

Join me on the show this week as Kim Strobel and I discuss it all. Patriarchy, people pleasing, confidence, and our role as women crafting a new vision of what being a woman looks like, and even more importantly, feels like.
