How to Begin Taking Up Space Unapologetically

Part of taking up a whole lotta fucking space means occupying the space we physically inhabit…aka our bodies…without feeling the need to minimize or enlarge ourselves to fit into societal expectations or standards. I'm talking about the amount of energy we exert as women... but I bet there are some men out there who can relate too... the amount of energy we exert trying to fit in. And I mean literally “Fit In”...fit into clothes we want to wear and the image we think we must hold in order to be accepted. It's about recognizing the value of our existence, taking up the space we naturally occupy, and being unapologetic about it. Whether it's physically, emotionally, or intellectually, allowing ourselves to take up space authentically is crucial for self-acceptance and personal empowerment. It's a way of asserting our presence and asserting our worthiness in the world. In this episode, we discuss the process of awareness and healing that is necessary to begin dealing with our own wounds and insecurities that become what we project onto others. And once this healing work begins within us, then our perspective of others will change. We must first create the space for us to inhabit authentically, which will then enable us to allow this space for others as well.
