If you’ve been saying yes when you mean no, holding back what you really need, or feeling guilty any time you try to put yourself first — this episode is for you.

We’re talking unfiltered truth about boundaries and guilt — why setting them feels so uncomfortable, where that guilt actually comes from, and how to stop abandoning yourself to keep the peace.

It’s time to stop letting guilt run the show and start building boundaries that feel clean, grounded, and aligned.

🎧 In this episode, I share:

Why guilt shows up when you try to set a boundary
How your nervous system has been trained to equate control with safety
The hidden cost of doing it all yourself
The difference between self-protection and self-trust
How to honour your capacity and your power
A new way to see boundaries — without shame, fear, or apology

Boundaries aren’t about being harsh or cold.
They’re about showing up fully as yourself — with love and clarity.

Have you ever been told you're too much ? Too loud. Too emotional. Too ambitious. Too sensitive. I have — and I know how deeply that message can get under your skin. In this episode of Confidence Unfiltered , I’m pulling back the curtain on the real reason so many of us shrink ourselves to fit in. I talk about the invisible rules we’ve been taught — especially as women and ADHDers — to stay small, agreeable, and nice... even when it costs us our confidence, clarity, and self-worth. I’ll walk you through how I broke the pattern of people-pleasing, overthinking, and playing small — and how you can do it too. Because confidence isn’t about faking it or being perfect. It’s about owning your power , showing up unapologetically, and finally taking up the space you were always meant to. 🎧 In this episode, I share: Why being told “you’re too much” is a tactic that keeps women small The shrinking cycle and how it messes with your confidence How I stopped editing myself to fit in — and how you can too What it really means to own your power as an ambitious, sensitive woman How to move through the fear of judgment and show up fully This episode is for every woman who’s ever felt like she had to tone it down just to be accepted.
