Stop Dimming Your Light for Someone Else’s Comfort — Your Sparkle Is Your Power

from Wheat Fields, Wisdom & Whiskey

Most people are hiding. They shrink their dreams, their voice, their light—because someone once told them they were “too much.”But here’s the truth: you are not too much. You are exactly enough.In this solo episode, I share a raw stories and moments I almost played small—when fear, self-doubt, and the temptation to dim my sparkle almost won. I’ll walk you through what it felt like, the turning point when I finally said never again, and the wisdom that shifted everything.Because the world doesn’t benefit when you shrink—it suffers. Your sparkle isn’t optional, it’s your responsibility. And when you shine, you give others permission to do the same.***What You’ll Learn in This Episode:How to catch yourself when you’re dimming and ask, “Am I doing this for me—or to make someone else comfortable?”Why doing one bold thing today that feels scary can set you free.A simple daily practice to remind yourself that you are enough.***My Favorite Quotes:“Stop dimming your light for someone else’s comfort.”“You are worthy, simply because you are you.”“Your sparkle isn’t optional—it’s your power.”The quote I have hanging on my wall: “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us.We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous,talented and fabulous?Actually, who are you not to be?You are a child of God.Your playing small does not serve the world.There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that otherpeople won’t feel insecure around you.We were born to make manifest the glory ofGod that is within us.It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone.And as we let our own light shine,we unconsciously give other peoplepermission to do the same.As we are liberated from our own fear,Our presence automatically liberates others.” — Marianne WilliamsonMy Sparks for YOU:If today’s episode spoke to your heart, share it with a friend who needs to be reminded of their brilliance. That’s how we spread the light—and the whiskey wisdom too.And if you haven’t yet, hit follow so you don’t miss what’s coming next.Remember: you are worthy just because you are you. Don’t let anyone, ever, dull your sparkle.Support the showConnect with Karey:Follow on Facebook Karey Harris Luminaissance Queen & Instagram Karey Harris OfficialWebsite: https://www.kareyharris.com/Listen, like, download and subscribe to Wheat Fields, Wisdom & Whiskey wherever you get your podcasts.Buzzsprout Website – https://www.buzzsprout.com2305240Apple - https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/wheat-fields-wisdom-whiskey/id1734106483Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/08c35sXsd5qIOqLDwPrZ7j?si=f84b68dd6eae4c49Would you like to be a featured guest on the podcast?Do you have questions? Email us at [email protected] By:  Swampy Cree ProductionsCopyright @ Wheat Fields, Wisdom & Whiskey
