Moment: When Slowing Down Became a Way of Shrinking
Manage episode 481771933 series 3476724
I uncovered a pattern of slowing myself down to avoid making others uncomfortable, only to realise I was actually shrinking my own potential. This moment explores how high-achieving women often temper their natural pace and ambition out of fear of being "too much" or leaving others behind.
• The danger of learning early that moving too fast threatens others around you
• How slowing down can become a form of self-sabotage and protection
• The distinction between moving at your natural pace versus hustling from pressure
• Why adding unnecessary struggle to "earn" success diminishes your natural gifts
• Moving quickly while still bringing others along through clean energy and systems
• Embracing your natural pace without shrinking your dreams or intelligence
• Learning to trust your instincts and make decisions efficiently
Take our new quiz designed for high-achieving women who are outwardly holding it together but quietly running on empty. Visit the link in the show notes to discover your burnout archetype and unlock your hidden powerhouse potential.
