Tired of “Tiptoeing”

from The Permission Slip · host Nicole Morris

There's a particular kind of tired that sleep doesn't fix. It's the tired that comes from years of monitoring — your words, your tone, your timing. From calculating how much of yourself is safe to show before someone else becomes uncomfortable. From making yourself the variable in every room so that everything around you stays steady. It's exhausting. And most of us have been doing it so long we forgot it was a choice. In this episode, Nicole Morris sits down with Heidi Pearson, Founder of Pearson PR Consulting, to explore what chronic self-monitoring actually looks like in the lives of high-functioning women — and what it takes to stop.  Because tiptoeing isn't just about boundaries. It's about what happens to your sense of self when you've spent years editing yourself before anyone even asks you to.This conversation is for the woman who is done performing calm she doesn't feel. Done shrinking into spaces that were never designed for her to fit in. She's tired of tiptoeing. And this episode is the beginning of where it ends. Enjoyed this episode?
