You’re not here to please, you’re here to live. New research from The Female Lead shows that nearly half of women hold back their opinions just to fit in. Even more downplay their achievements to avoid being seen as too much. Sound familiar?

In this weeks episode Mum and I discuss the reasons so many women silence their voices and what it really costs us. You’ll learn why this isn’t just a mindset issue, but a nervous system and trauma pattern. We explore everything from ancestral wiring to the fear of being judged, plus how to rewire these patterns through affirmations, journaling and daily voice expression. If you’ve ever softened your truth, shrunk your power or worried you were too much, this episode is for you!

Through personal anecdotes, including job losses and significant life changes, we explore the concept of the 'yellow door' – opportunities that arise when least expected. We emphasise the idea that what seems like a failure could be a necessary redirection, leading to greater opportunities and personal growth.
