Have you been dimming your light to fit in?

It starts subtly.
You hesitate to share your wins.�You downplay the impact you’ve made.�You worry that being proud makes you “too much.”

This is what happens when we internalise the unspoken rules—like Jantelagen in Sweden, or Tall Poppy Syndrome in Australia.

We learn to shrink.

But here’s the truth: shrinking serves no one.

Since 2019, 1,500 students have come through the doors of my college.�We’ve seen transformations. Tears. Breakthroughs.�And I’ve built methods, systems, and communities that didn’t exist before.
For years, I quietly did the work.�Now, I’m learning to stand in what I’ve built—with pride.�Not for applause. But because it’s real. And it matters.

🌿 You’re allowed to be proud of what you’ve created.�🌿 You’re allowed to share your story—without apology.�🌿 You’re allowed to take up space, beautifully and fully.

The world needs what only you can offer—without dilution.

✨ Where have you been playing small? And what shifts when you say, “I’ve earned this”?

When in doubt, let the forest whisper you home.

This comes from a deeper part of my story, one woven through the women in my family who always turned to the earth when things felt heavy.

If life feels loud right now, maybe it’s the reminder you need too.

I explored the difference between fire that consumes and fire that sustains. The kind that comes from hunger… and the kind that rises from wholeness.

If you’ve felt the ache of burnout or the call to create differently, this piece is for you.
May it meet you gently and remind you:
You don’t need to let go of your ambition, just the fuel that’s burning you.

Spiritual teachings, mindfulness traditions, and even modern psychology often treat the ego as something to overcome—something to control, transcend, or release in order to find true freedom.

But what if the ego isn’t the enemy? What if the ego is simply… your shape? Your voice? Yourself, wearing form?

Most of what we’re being shown about leadership still leans into dominance. Control. Certainty. Standing at the front, being the one with the answers. That model is still deeply embedded in our systems, in our workplaces, even in the way we talk about success.

But what if you feel called to lead but that model never felt quite right to you?
What if you’ve always sensed that leadership could be something else—something quieter, more honest, more rooted in how we show up rather than how we perform?

Here’s what I know:

Talent is largely buried, especially at the start.

It doesn’t arrive polished or confident. It doesn’t shout. And if we only reward what’s already shining, we miss the people who are still learning how to glow.

I’ve seen this time and time again. In music. In dance. In theatre. In the healing arts. Talent isn’t always loud. It isn’t always obvious.
And if we only reward what’s shiny and already confident, we miss the ones still learning how to glow.

I’ve seen this too many times—in classrooms, studios, therapy rooms, even my own family. Hidden brilliance pushed aside because it didn’t “look” the part yet.

This isn’t just a conversation about talent, but about what happens when we really see someone.

Self-silencing doesn’t always look like silence. It doesn’t always sound like someone holding their tongue or turning away. Sometimes it looks like someone smiling through something that hurts. Saying they’re fine. Letting another moment slide because they’re tired—or because speaking up just feels too heavy.

Over time, that silence gets internalised. Not just in the mind, but in the body. In the nervous system. In the jaw that clenches, the stomach that knots, the headaches that won’t go away. We tell ourselves we’re okay. We adapt. We explain things away: “It’s not that bad,” “I have it better than some,” “It’s just a phase.” We learn to live with it...

...when someone who once left you emotionally unheld asks for access to your body, it doesn’t feel like connection. It feels like risk. Not hatred — just a deeply embedded boundary your body formed in the absence of being seen.
And if you find yourself pulling away, questioning why you don’t feel like being close — even when everything looks fine now — this might be why. Your body isn’t betraying you. It’s protecting you. It’s responding to something that was never fully acknowledged.
We rarely talk about these kinds of ruptures. The quiet ones. The ones we excuse because “they didn’t mean it” or “it wasn’t that bad.” But we live with them — in our tension, in our discomfort, in the stories we tell ourselves about why we’re not more “open.”

Many women were handed the role of emotional guardian before they even knew how to guard themselves. They were the ones asked to go speak to the sibling in crisis. To mediate between parents. To notice when someone was upset and fix it—before things got worse. So of course, as adults, they become the ones who hold. Who soothe. Who protect. Even when they’re tired. Even when they shouldn’t have to. Even when it’s not their job anymore...

There’s a moment—right near the end of the creative cycle—that still catches many of us off guard.

Not when the idea first arrives, wild and electric.
Not when we’re building it, shaping it, giving it form.
It’s the moment after that—when the thing we’ve made is sitting there, waiting to be shared.

Not for validation.
Not for applause.
But because offering it is part of its life.
Because until we release it, something in us stays paused too.

And that moment, for creatives, can be the hardest.
Especially when you’ve done it before.
When you’ve already been seen, already been praised, already built something others respect.

That’s when the quiet pressure shows up—to match the last thing, to impress again, to give your audience what you think they expect. And without realising it, you begin creating not from truth—but from performance…
