You ever find yourself shrinking in the very space God told you to build? Maybe you’re second-guessing your voice… softening your truth… tiptoeing in rooms you were called to lead. If you’ve been performing peace while secretly spiraling inside—this episode is your sacred reset. 
In today’s Sips & Stillness™ episode, Dr. Seida shares a raw story from one of her retreats, the exact moment she realized you can’t shrink and lead at the same time, and how soft confidence became her anchor. You’ll walk away with bridge affirmations, journal prompts, and the courage to stop shape-shifting and start showing up—fully, freely, and without apology.
 
✨ WHAT YOU’LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE:
✅ Why you shrink in moments you should feel confident
✅ How emotional labor is draining your nervous system
✅ The truth about “low maintenance” & other trauma-trained identities ✅ What soft confidence really looks like (and how it feels)
✅ Why performance-based acceptance keeps you exhausted
✅ A rhythm reset rooted in presence—not perfection
