Why Women Play Small | Speak, Mother

Send Shannon A NoteWhat happens when a woman is proud of herself? When she celebrates her wins without apologizing?If you've been conditioned to believe that pride is dangerous, that being "too much" will cost you friends, safety, or likability, this episode is for you.This week, we're diving into why women have been taught to shrink, stay humble, and never claim their gifts. We explore what we're teaching our daughters when we downplay our own abilities and why it feels safer to be underestimated than celebrated.Your playing small serves no one. Shining brightly gives other women permission to do the same.This episode is part of a multi-part exploration inspired by the work of On Our Best Behavior by Elise Loehnen.
