Why is it so much easier to live disappointed than to live joyfully? And why do we tamper down the very parts of ourselves that could inspire others the most?

This episode started as a voice note I sent to a friend who's been exploring how to help women step into their full expression - but it turned into something so much bigger.

I'm sharing Brené Brown's insight that joy is the hardest part of vulnerability, how the coaching industry's "be loud, be bold" mentality can sometimes mask deep insecurity, and why your unique expression needs to be conjured from your own life experiences - not copied from someone else's projection.

What we're covering:

• How childhood shame blocks adult expression and what to do about it
• Why the most insecure people are often the loudest (and what that means for you)
• Moving from disappointment-based living to joy-based living
• The masks we unconsciously wear and how to recognize them
• Why inspiring others starts with allowing yourself to feel genuine joy
