Lesson Overview

28.36 – What If You’re Afraid to Take Up Space?: Many people learn early to shrink—to stay polite, quiet, or invisible so others feel comfortable. But taking up space isn’t arrogance; it’s permission to exist fully. You have the right to speak, stretch, and share without apology. Confidence starts with physical posture—standing tall signals self-trust even before words do. When fear whispers that you’re “too much,” remember that presence is power. The world expands for those who dare to be seen authentically. Each time you claim space through voice, creativity, or movement, you redefine what’s acceptable. Courage doesn’t erase fear; it acts despite it. You don’t need permission to occupy your life completely. Taking up space means choosing visibility over erasure—and that choice transforms everything.
