Within my personal experience, and through the coaching explorations I have had with many women, one of the most insidious and common fears I see is this:  the fear of being seen and of taking up the space we yearn for. 

It’s a subtle, persistent voice inside of us that says, “It’s safer to remain unnoticed, to not take up too much space.” urging us to shrink and to stay small, to protect ourselves from judgment or criticism. 

For many of us, it quietly lingers in the background of our lives (sometimes unnoticed), yet it powerfully shapes the way we show up in every area of our life.

Perhaps it’s something you too, are familiar with? If so, you are most certainly not alone.
