My Experiences With Staying Small | 027

Lately, I’ve been reflecting a lot on my relationship with self-promotion and marketing, and how I tend to "stay small" when it comes to talking about myself or what I offer. I share my own experience of hiding when I needs to promote my work, while feeling completely alive and connected when I’m actually with clients, doing the work I loves. That contrast really hits home for me—the joy and flow I feel when I’m in the middle of supporting others, versus the fear and hesitation that comes up when I have to be seen more publicly.

I am tying this pattern to deeper fears, like being ostracized or betrayed, and it makes me think about how these old wounds can quietly shape our choices today, keeping us from reaching more people or fully stepping into who we are. It’s a reminder for me of the importance of grace, awareness, and community in helping us move through these patterns. I’m also realizing how vital it is to really pause and inquire into our own needs and values—especially when we’re being marketed to or considering different programs.

I’d love to invite you to reflect on this too. How much do you trust the unfolding of your own path? What do you feel might be holding you back? I’d love to hear what you discover about yourself in this process!
