Emily & Meg discuss what it means to downplay our personalities, where we got the messages that we need to, and what it means to stay in our own power.

“We become small to belong.”
“Did anyone ever ask what does it feel like when you feel powerful?”
“Can we shift the question from why do I feel small to how do I learn to find, be, express my own power?”
“We now have this Extroversion Ideal - where we follow the loudest person in the room. Does that make us want to shrink ourselves down to become the opposite? Do we need to watch out for this tendency?”
“Did religion’s idea of ‘staying humble’ affect you defining your personality and personal power?”
“We let someone else label or prescribe who we are then we take it on. And we lose ourselves to that.”
“Trusting who you are and defining power for yourself is a start to finding our authentic self.”
