There’s one sneaky lie that we all tell ourselves. It has the best of intentions - to keep us safe, small, and silent. It’s a protective lie because it doesn’t want us to get rejected or abandoned. The problem is, it also keeps us from speaking up and showing up with impact in the world.

In this episode we talk about:

• The lie that keeps us stuck and silent
• Two thoughts you need to release
• The one small action to take that will make all the difference
