19 | Your Work Doesn’t Need More Eyes. It Needs the RIGHT Ones (Story Time)
In this solo episode, I share a story that changed everything I know about authenticity, alignment, and leadership.
It starts with a stage, a guitar, and a gut feeling — and turns into a powerful lesson on trusting your body, your message, and your people.
Whether you’re a coach, creative entrepreneur, or purpose-driven leader, this episode will help you stop performing for the wrong crowd, release the pressure to “be louder,” and finally align with the spaces — and the people — that feel like home.
We’ll dive into embodiment, nervous system regulation, and the energetics of visibility — exploring how real growth doesn’t come from forcing your way into the biggest room, but from showing up fully in the right one.
If you’ve been struggling with imposter syndrome, burnout, or constantly trying to prove your worth online… this episode will remind you: your art, your voice, and your truth don’t need validation — they need resonance.
HIGHLIGHTS
00:00 – The story behind trying to fit in
A personal story about performing music on the wrong stage — and how that moment mirrors what so many creators and entrepreneurs experience in business.
02:30 – The pressure to say yes to everything
Why chasing “big opportunities” can disconnect you from your truth — and how to know when an opportunity isn’t aligned.
04:00 – How to recognize when you’re in the wrong room
Signs you’re performing instead of expressing, and how your body gives you early cues through tension, hesitation, and fatigue.

The hidden cost of trying to fit in: emotional exhaustion, creative disconnection, and self-betrayal.
08:30 – Finding your people through embodiment and self-trust
Why smaller, more intentional spaces often lead to deeper impact, creativity, and connection.
10:00 – The truth about alignment and success
Real success doesn’t come from forcing or performing — it comes from resonance, self-expression, and nervous system safety.
11:00 – Final reflection: stop changing your message to fit in
If you’re in the wrong room, it’s not your voice that’s wrong — it’s the space. Trust your gut, follow the peace, and your people will find you.
