You don’t have a confidence problem. You know exactly how powerful you are, it’s just that you’ve spent years pretending you’re not. Years making yourself easier to be around. Softer, quieter, slower, less intense, so the people in your life wouldn’t feel threatened or intimidated or uncomfortable by just how much of you there actually is, and the fact that they can’t keep up with you. It’s why you smile and laugh when you’re actually furious and your tongue. Why you downplay your own gifts when people compliment you, why you feel weird about it when money comes easily for the things that come naturally to you You pretend to be less weird, less intense, less goofy than you actually are. All the while still feeling chosen and called to something greater. And then feeling jealous watching someone half as talented as you get simply because they’re not hiding. And this is the rub you haven’t been able to articulate yet, the thing that’s been feeling deeply wrong. You can’t access your purpose because you’re still performing your old identity. You have a sense of it, you can feel something bigger waiting for you, but you can’t get traction because you keep trying to build the new thing from inside your old self. And the tension between these two things, shrinking yourself while feeling called to something enormous, is your core wound and core desire battling it out in real time. You’re dimming a light you know is supposed to be blinding, which leaves you feeling both too much and not enough simultaneously. So here is the secret you’ve been looking for. You feel chosen for a reason. There is something enormous waiting for you on the other side of the version of yourself you’ve been performing. The thing you’ve been hiding isn’t your liability, it’s what you’re called to lead with. It is your entire value proposition, your intensity, your strangeness, your depth, your hunger. The parts of you that you’ve been apologizing for your entire life are, in fact, your greatest power sources. This is what my clients learn when we work together, how to stop fixating on needing to do and be and have more, and realize you already have everything you need. It is simply about learning how to wield it with confidence and precision. So when you’re ready to stop hiding the most powerful parts of you and start leading with them instead, book your initiation call with me to get started.
