it feels shameful to want this

friend,

Let’s get radically honest for a moment…

You want to be seen.
You crave recognition.
You know your work is powerful.
and is meant to be known!

But somewhere along the way, you picked up the belief that shining too bright makes you “too much.”

That talking about your work boldly is… bragging.

That you need to stay “humble.”

Let me be clear:
Humble is not your truth.
It’s a social construct…it’s cultural norm.

Your truth is VISIBLE.
Your truth is BOLD.

And until you claim that, you’ll stay in the shadows of those who have no problem showing up loud and clear.

So the next time you feel a pang of discomfort and ickiness seeing someone you follow shine, ask yourself:

Is that really jealousy… or is that a mirror reflecting my deep desire to be seen?

Because if you’re craving depth, confidence, visibility, and integrity, it’s time to stop hiding.

There’s a difference between ego and truth-telling.

Between boasting and owning the brilliance only you bring to your clients, your community, and your expertise.

No one is coming to hand you your flowers or discover you.
You need to CLAIM IT yourself.

This is what I’m here to intiate you into…your BIGNESS.
