π Part 14: Stop Shrinking to Fit in Rooms You Outshine
π‘ Let’s Start Here: Playing Small Isn’t Humble—It’s Self-Sabotage
You’re not being “humble,” baby.
You’re hiding.
You’re editing yourself.
You’re rounding your edges, muting your magic, and softening your sparkle just to make other people comfortable.
And what has that gotten you?
π€ Sleepless nights.
π€ Friends who “tolerate” but don’t celebrate.
π€ Jobs that exploit instead of empower.
π€ Lovers who dimmed your light then called you dramatic when you noticed.
It ends today.
Because here’s the truth: You weren’t born to blend in. You were born to be the whole mood.
π The Shrink Phase: When She Was Digestible
You remember that girl, right?
-
She watered herself down at the table.
-
She laughed at jokes that weren’t funny.
-
She got quiet when her intuition got loud.
-
She didn’t wear the lipstick.
-
She didn’t post the photo.
-
She didn’t speak up, even when her soul screamed.
She thought being liked was safer than being seen.
But now?
She’s tired of playing small.
Because baby—when you shrink to fit in, you starve the very parts of you that were designed to shine.
π₯ She Doesn’t Shrink Anymore. She Spreads Light.
This is the unbothered, unfiltered, unshrinkable version of her.
Now she:
✅ Speaks with her chest.
✅ Walks like the room was built around her.
✅ Wears what makes her feel powerful, not palatable.
✅ Protects her peace like it’s platinum.
✅ Doesn’t seek approval—she owns her presence.
She’s no longer afraid of being “too much.”
She’s afraid of dying in rooms where she’s never fully lived.
✨ If You’ve Been Shrinking, You Might Feel Like…
Let’s do a gut check, babe:
❌ You downplay your accomplishments.
❌ You second-guess your words in group settings.
❌ You avoid posting content because “what will they think?”
❌ You feel uncomfortable when people compliment you.
❌ You let people with less light make you feel like you’re overexposed.
That’s not humility, baby.
That’s habitual hiding.
And your soul is suffocating from it.
π Say This with Your Whole Heart—You’re Done Shrinking
-
I will no longer downplay my greatness to be liked.
-
I was not built to blend in—I was born to stand out.
-
My presence is powerful, and I allow it to be fully felt.
-
I attract people who celebrate, not compete.
-
I refuse to silence myself to soothe small minds.
-
I am not “too much.” I’m the exact amount required to change the room.
Say it again until it sticks to your soul.
π Journal Prompts to Expand Your Power & Take Up Space
Be honest, babe. This is your moment to reintroduce yourself to your full self:
-
Where in my life am I still shrinking—and why?
-
What was the moment I started making myself smaller for acceptance?
-
What version of me am I hiding to stay safe?
-
What does it feel like to be fully expressed in every space?
-
Who am I when I stop performing and start embodying?
Write like nobody’s watching—because this one?
It’s between you and your power.
π π½ 7 Badass Ways to Take Up Space This Week
Say goodbye to small. Here’s how you expand boldly:
-
Post the photo that makes you feel ICONIC. Don’t second-guess it.
-
Tell someone “Thank you” when they compliment you—and mean it.
-
Walk into a room and make eye contact. You’re magnetic—act like it.
-
Say “I’m proud of myself” out loud after completing anything.
-
Wear that color. That fit. That makeup. That scent.
-
Speak in the meeting. Start the convo. Stop holding back.
-
Remove one person, page, or pattern that makes you shrink.
You’re not out here auditioning anymore. You’re building your empire, baby.
π Your Full-Sized Aura Isn’t for Every Room—and That’s Okay
Some rooms are just too small for your vision.
Some people are too limited for your expansion.
Some energies will NEVER match your elevation—and that doesn’t mean you’re the problem.
It means you’re on assignment.
To shine.
To stretch.
To break ceilings without permission.
π― Glow-Up Challenge of the Week: Take the Lead
Pick one (or all) and OWN your presence this week:
π Walk into a room and pretend the floor was rolled out for you—because energetically, it was.
π§Ό Clean your space and rearrange it to match the frequency of a woman who’s not hiding anymore.
π Write an “I am done shrinking” declaration and sign it like a contract with yourself.
π± Start the brand, the post, the project—whatever you’ve been scared of doing out loud.
π€ Tell your story. Speak your truth. And don’t edit it.
π Final Words from the Woman Who Expanded
You’re not here to tiptoe through life.
You’re here to:
-
Speak like the mic was built for you.
-
Walk like the floor was designed for your rhythm.
-
Live like your existence is a divine disruption to every space that tried to tame you.
You are not a shadow. You are sunlight.
You don’t shrink to survive.
You expand to empower.
And from this moment forward?
Stop shrinking to fit in rooms you outshine. Build your own palace.
