Stop Waiting for Permission
2026-02-03
If you’re waiting for someone to hand you the next opportunity, this one’s for you. We don’t always realize how often we hold ourselves back, telling ourselves it’s not our role, we’re not ready, or we don’t want to look pushy. The problem? Silence gets mistaken for satisfaction.
This episode is a wake-up call to notice the invisible rules you’ve absorbed and start challenging the ones that no longer serve you. I’m sharing how to move from observer to advocate, use curiosity as a powerful tool, and start showing up like someone who’s ready to lead.
You don’t need a permission slip. You need a plan.
In this episode, I’ll cover:
How to spot the subtle ways you’re holding yourself back
A reframing strategy to shift from polite silence to confident curiosity
What to ask for in the next 72 hours to change how you’re seen
