Send us a textShe's been on the mic with me before — but never quite like this.In this powerful return episode, I sit down with my daughter, Samantha, for a raw, unscripted conversation about something we've both lived: the pressure to shrink.To dim our light. To tone it down. To make ourselves smaller — so other people feel more comfortable.We talk about what that's looked like in our lives, how it shows up differently across generations, and what it actually costs — in confidence, creativity, connection.And then we talk about what happens when we finally stop.This isn't just about speaking up. It's about taking up space. In rooms, in relationships, in the world.If you've ever held back who you really are — this episode will hit home.Press play. Then ask yourself: Where are you still shrinking? And what if you didn't?Connect:kim@kimbolourtchi.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/kimberly-bolourtchi/Learn more:www.kimbolourtchi.com

In this episode, I help leadership coach and podcaster Julie Neale work through the discomfort she feels on stage.Though she's right at home behind the microphone, being on stage stirs up something different. Julie may look confident, but inside, she's anxious — silently struggling.Together, we trace her nerves back to early experiences that shaped her identity, including a pivotal moment when her father, with the best intentions, publicly praised her in a way that became a role she felt expected to play — even at the expense of her own truth.We also talk about how to feel more grounded, expand your stage presence, and create a sense of belonging in front of an audience.If you've ever felt unseen, misrepresented, or not fully yourself in the spotlight, this conversation will speak to you.Click here to check the full show notes.

On this episode of the AACC Podcast, Ray Chang interviews Alice Matagora and discusses the journey of finding belonging and embracing her identity as an Asian American woman within white evangelical spaces. Alice emphasizes the need for communities that embrace and value the full expression of God's kingdom, where individuals can be their authentic selves. When faced with challenges as Asian American Christians in discipleship and leadership development, she emphasizes the importance of true belonging and being fully oneself, rather than fitting in and disowning parts of who we are.

Sexologist Alexa Andre (@sexwithalexa) is joined by Catherine Drysdale—sex & relationship coach—who's on a mission to help women and femmes unlearn the “good girl” scripts that keep them small, quiet, and out of touch with their desires.We talk about:• What “good girl conditioning” really means and how it shows up in our lives• The difference between Good Girl Conditioning and being a "good girl" in a power dynamic• The pressure to be nice, palatable, and liked (and how that impacts our relationships and sex lives)• Why so many of us have trouble asking for what we want—especially in bed• The link between patriarchy and the fear of being “too much”• How to begin reclaiming your voice, your wants, and your power• Ways to get comfortable with discomfort, especially when it comes to setting boundaries• Rewriting your relationship with shame, worthiness, and sexual expressionThis is a permission slip to take up space and live more fully, more loudly, and more authentically.✨ At the end of the episode, we also chat about how this work spills into dating, communication, and how to support other women on the same journey.

In this episode of WAIT. HOLD UP…WHAT?, host Dawne Hanks is joined by Alyson Spungin for a vulnerable, honest conversation about what it means to truly take up space—and how that looks different for everyone.Together, they unpack the pressure women face around body image, productivity, and performance, especially within the dance community. Alyson shares how her personal experiences with therapy and psychology shaped her understanding of health, healing, and autonomy. She also opens up about her practice of celebrating small wins offline—without social media, without external validation, just presence.Dawne and Alyson both reflect on how we often expect others to “fix” us when all we really need is a safe space to exist. They honor the quiet, supportive men in their lives—like Alyson's father, who drove hours just to check in during her first year of college, or Dawne's stepfather, who offered small gestures that made a big impact. These moments model the kind of support that empowers rather than overcomes.This episode isn't just about movement or mindset. It's about redefining what health, growth, and support look like on your own terms—and how giving ourselves permission to take up space is a radical act of self-trust.

Man I went through some MAJOR mindset reflection the other day and I just had to share it with you. It is so common to feel fearful and not good enough in the face of an uplevel and that's what tends to hold people back and keep them in a loop. If you want different, you need to move different and for long enough to create change! Your next level reality and upgraded identity is on the other side of pushing past limiting beliefs and learning to endure the initial phases of uncomfortability to see it through. You DO have what it takes and you ARE good enough and I am going to tell you why in today's epi

When you imagine your 60s and 70s, do you picture yourself on the couch eating twinkies and watching TV for your final days? Well, Liz thought so too! Turns out, there's so much more to do than we think. It's not too late to start a new hobby, change your mind about your values, connect with new people, and so much more. You CAN teach an old dog new tricks. Let's get curious about aging as a woman, bust some myths around expectations, and find excitement in what's to come!    Some key takeaways from this episode include: Stay true to yourself as you age. Aging comes with societal expectations, but embracing your authentic self—rather than conforming—leads to a more fulfilling life in every aspect.  Reflect on your values and politics in our ever-changing American society. Politics, discrimination, and personal integrity all shape how we navigate aging. Regularly evaluating your beliefs and relationships ensures they align with your true purpose. Question standards and take up space! Many women have unconsciously minimized themselves to fit societal norms. Challenging these expectations allows you to live more freely and impact the world in a meaningful way.    MUD/WTR is a coffee alternative consisting of 100% organic cacao, ayurvedic herbs and functional mushrooms.

In this bonus episode, Michelle reflects on her conversation with Nicole and dives into the power of taking up space—not just physically, but in every part of life.

We must recognize the imperative of taking up space online as a critical element for achieving success in our endeavors. The predominant assertion of this discourse is that the barriers to visibility, such as fear of judgment or failure, must be dismantled to allow for authentic expression and engagement. It is incumbent upon us to abandon the tendency to dilute our messages in an effort to conform, as this only serves to hinder our potential and the impact we can have on our audience. By committing to a more pronounced and unapologetic presence in the digital sphere, we position ourselves to cultivate meaningful connections and drive momentum in our business ventures. Ultimately, the act of being seen is not merely a choice; it is a declaration of our worthiness and an acknowledgment of the value we bring to the discourse.The discourse presented within this episode delineates an imperative truth: the necessity for individuals, particularly entrepreneurs, to assertively occupy their digital space. The speaker articulates a compelling argument against the pervasive tendencies of self-doubt and fear that often plague those seeking to establish an online presence. Central to the dialogue is the assertion that many individuals, despite possessing the requisite knowledge and strategies to succeed, inadvertently stifle their potential due to an overwhelming concern regarding external perceptions and judgments. This reluctance to fully express one's authentic voice often leads to a dilution of their message, resulting in a lack of engagement and visibility in an ever-competitive online landscape.The speaker emphasizes that true success necessitates a conscious decision to embrace one's uniqueness and to communicate with unapologetic boldness. By ceasing to filter their thoughts and opinions, individuals can cultivate a more genuine connection with their audience. The conversation further explores the psychological barriers that inhibit individuals from presenting their offerings with confidence, arguing that such self-imposed limitations ultimately hinder professional growth and the realization of one's aspirations. Through a series of actionable steps, the speaker encourages listeners to abandon mediocrity, champion their achievements, and persuasively convey their value to potential clients.Moreover, the episode serves as a clarion call for consistency and perseverance in one's marketing endeavors. The speaker elucidates the principle that visibility is intrinsically linked to momentum; it is through relentless commitment and daily engagement that individuals can foster a loyal following and propel their business forward. Ultimately, the discourse is a profound reminder that to achieve significant results, one must first decisively take up space and affirm their rightful place within the digital realm.Takeaways: The necessity of fully committing to one's online presence cannot be overstated; it is imperative that we recognize our worthiness of being seen. The fear of judgment and failure often leads individuals to dilute their messages, which ultimately hampers their business growth and impact. To effectively take up space online, one must embrace authenticity and abandon the practice of filtering one's true thoughts and opinions. Consistency in showing up online, even in the absence of immediate recognition, is crucial for long-term visibility and success in any endeavor.
