This is one of my favorite topics to discuss: what’s the hidden cost of self-silencing, and how are we as women conditioned to suppress ourselves? In this episode, we dive into the roots of self-silencing: how we as women are taught from a young age to override our inner knowing, our bodies, and even our voice in order to please others, maintain peace, or avoid conflict. I’ll explore how these patterns leave us feeling disconnected from ourselves and the physical toll self-silencing can sometimes take as well as the energy it creates in the body. If you’ve ever felt pressure to shrink, to put others first, or to ignore your intuition, tune in. *As always friends (hopefully obviously) this is not medical or mental health advice.Take my Elemental Energy Archetype Quiz to understand your unique energetic sensitivities and gifts.Or join me over in the Letters to the Sensitive Soul newsletter, gentle guidance for reconnecting with yourself, honoring your sensitivity, and mastering your own energy so you can feel anchored into your own inner knowing.If you Liked this episode, consider leaving a rating or review, it helps so much for new shows :)
