A coach explains why people hold themselves back out of fear and comfort. Playing small means making decisions to feel safe rather than to grow. Real change comes from building genuine internal confidence, not just being reassured from outside.

Never play small, because I think that's what I had inadvertently learned, to play small because it either makes me comfortable, other people comfortable. But I think that was like, to me, to continue to challenge myself to do not play small.
So what does never play small mean to you now?
To me, it is not make decisions out of fear, which is what I think a huge part of my work with you was you saying, okay, hold up here. And I remember on that first day you said, you are safe. But just because I tell you you're safe does not mean that you believe you're safe. And that's what we're gonna do together, is get to a place where you believe, you know, that you're safe.
