Stop Self-Silencing

In this episode we explore why being aware of self-silencing is so important and how it affects us more deeply than we might realise.

Show Notes

Self-silencing can subtly creep into our lives, often without us even noticing. It’s often the voice in the back of our heads telling us to stay quiet, to not rock the boat. 

It limits our potential to connect genuinely, to make meaningful impact, and to grow as individuals. 

It's an innate fear, and while this fear can sometimes serve as a protective mechanism, alerting us to real dangers, it often oversteps its bounds. It holds us back from expressing ourselves, from taking risks that could lead to growth.

It's important to recognise when fear is acting as a guardian and when it's acting as a gatekeeper to our self-expression.

The key is to recognise when fear is serving a purpose and when it's merely holding us back from expressing our true selves. It's about listening to our fear, understanding its roots, and then making a rational decision about whether it's a genuine warning or an irrational barrier.
