Are You Playing Small in Your Life Without Realizing It?

from Guided: Hearing God's Voice in the Life You Actually Have · host Brenda Bertrand

Friend, have you been playing small? We often do, not because we're weak, but because being small feels safer than being seen. This episode names what playing small actually protects you from: being "too much," disappointing people, conflict, responsibility, success, and your own power. And it names what playing small costs you: your voice, your aliveness, your freedom, your life. For the woman who's been dimming herself so others feel comfortable, who's been apologizing for her presence, who's been hiding her gifts—this is your invitation to step into the bigness God has been inviting you toward all along. The terror is real. But the freedom on the other side? That's real, too.Resource: Playing Big by Tara Mohr is the best book on this topic. Get it and thank me later.
