You're Allowed to Take Up Space
from Your Odyssey Podcast · host Tara Alexandra & Karen Novy
You’re allowed to take up space. But what happens after that? In this episode, we move beyond the idea of visibility into something deeper… capacity. Because taking up space isn’t just about being seen or heard. It’s about what you carry into the rooms, conversations, and relationships you’re part of. Your presence is not neutral.Whether you realize it or not, it shapes the emotional climate around you. We explore: The difference between visibility and capacity How your presence influences every space you enter The subtle ways we show up with hesitation, avoidance, or clarity What it actually looks like to be more present in real time This isn’t about becoming louder. It’s about becoming more available to yourself and to the moment you’re in. Follow us on Instagram!
