When growth feels tricky or you get stuck…

It’s not because you want to ‘play small’—it’s because your mind is protecting you.

In this episode, I explain why the coaching cliché of “playing small” is misleading (and damaging) what’s really happening when female entrepreneurs keep parts of themselves hidden or suppressed.

If you’ve been battling entrepreneur mindset blocks or business mindset blocks, it’s not laziness—it’s your nervous system trying to shield you from the fear of failure. I’ll show you how to see it, name it, and start dismantling it.

You’ll hear how I uncovered these patterns in my own work (and yes, cringed at past choices), plus what happens when you finally strip off the filter.

In this episode:

• Spot the Glimmer Effect: Identify where you’re showing just a glimpse of your real voice—and how to release more of it

• Rethink Self-Doubt: Use it as a signal, not a stop sign, so you can move forward without second-guessing everything.

• Break the Future Backlash Loop: Stop rehearsing failure before it happens

If you’re ready to grow your business with less chasing, less hustle, this is a must-listen.

🎧 Listen now for mindset shifts that help female entrepreneurs like you move past fear and into action.

You weren’t made to stay small.

And if you're tired of walking the tightrope between being liked and being heard—this episode is for you.

Because how to be more confident in yourself doesn’t start with fixing who you are. It starts with unlearning the stories that told you to shrink.

We’re joined by Lauren Currie—serial entrepreneur behind six businesses and founder of UPFRONT—who’s on a mission to help 10 million women build unshakable confidence and change leadership from the inside out.

If you’re navigating what it means to be a leader or founder, you already know the unspoken rules: be confident, but not too confident. Be strong, but still likeable. This conversation will help you redefine success on your terms.

Lauren shares what it really takes to become the most confident version of you—and why confident women will upset people (and why that’s ok).

In this episode:

• How to Build Confidence (For Real): The 3 mindset shifts that make confidence a daily practice—not a personality trait.
  
  
• Ditch the Likeability Trap: Why being palatable is keeping you stuck—and how to fully embrace ALL of you.
  
  
• Rewrite the Rules for Women in Business: How to lead without shrinking and be more confident in yourself in all areas.
  
  

This isn’t another fluffy pep talk. It’s a rally for women who are ready to own their power.
