978 | If Everyone Likes You, You’re Playing Small

In this episode, Marsha shares a powerful reminder about the cost, and the importance, of showing up authentically. She explores the difference between simply inspiring others and truly activating them to see what’s possible in their own lives, while acknowledging that not everyone will resonate with your voice or message. Marsha discusses how being misunderstood is often the “tax” you pay for authenticity and why trying to please everyone only leads to playing small. Instead, she encourages listeners to focus on speaking their truth, trusting their impact, and remembering that even helping one person through your message makes it worth sharing.Chapters:[03:41] - Navigating Authenticity and Acceptance[04:30] - Understanding Activation and Inspiration[07:12] - Embracing Authenticity and Misunderstanding[11:08] - Finding Your Voice[12:30] - Embracing AuthenticityMarsha Vanwynsberghe — NLP Storytelling Trainer, OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification, Author, Speaker, and PodcasterWrite Your Damn Book Program: https://www.marshavanw.com/writenowUnbothered Mind Private Podcast https://www.marshavanw.com/unbotheredmindpodcastUnbothered Entrepreneur Masterclass (for the Podcast Listeners): https://www.marshavanw.com/unbothered-entrepreneur-masterclass-podcastDownload “You Are Supported” Hypnosis and Subliminal Bundle HERE Join the next cohort of OUTSPOKEN NLP Coaching Certification (kick-off in January 2026, in person or virtual) HEREThe Stories We Tell Ourselves Digital Program August Promo Save $333 HERE.
