Three Tools to Stop Downplaying and Ask for What You Truly Want

Have you ever downplayed what you really wanted because it felt safer not to ask for too much? There were seasons when I told myself I was fine with a smaller version of the dream, but deep down, I knew I was playing small. Today, I share three reasons why we don't ask for more, as well as tangible practices to overhaul this pattern in order to fully OWN even the biggest version of your dream.
