Why “Playing Small” Is BS (and the REAL entrepreneur mindset blocks holding you back)
Description
When growth feels tricky or you get stuck…
It’s not because you want to ‘play small’—it’s because your mind is protecting you.
In this episode, I explain why the coaching cliché of “playing small” is misleading (and damaging) what’s really happening when female entrepreneurs keep parts of themselves hidden or suppressed.
If you’ve been battling entrepreneur mindset blocks or business mindset blocks, it’s not laziness—it’s your nervous system trying to shield you from the fear of failure. I’ll show you how to see it, name it, and start dismantling it.
You’ll hear how I uncovered these patterns in my own work (and yes, cringed at past choices), plus what happens when you finally strip off the filter.
In this episode:
- Spot the Glimmer Effect: Identify where you’re showing just a glimpse of your real voice—and how to release more of it
- Rethink Self-Doubt: Use it as a signal, not a stop sign, so you can move forward without second-guessing everything.
- Break the Future Backlash Loop: Stop rehearsing failure before it happens
If you’re ready to grow your business with less chasing, less hustle, this is a must-listen.
🎧 Listen now for mindset shifts that help female entrepreneurs like you move past fear and into action.
