No One Asked But… You’re Probably Playing Small in Ways You Don’t Even Realize
About this episode
Nicole Johnson discusses the subtle ways women hold themselves back and offers insights on overcoming these limitations.
We don’t play small the way we used to. We’re building careers, raising families, starting businesses, and doing more than ever before… but if we’re being honest, there are still quiet ways we hold ourselves back. In this solo episode, I’m breaking down the subtle, socially acceptable habits that keep women stuck—things like over-explaining, over-apologizing, softening your opinions, delaying action, and waiting until you feel “ready.” These aren’t obvious. They’re the quiet patterns that feel normal… but quietly limit your growth. I share personal examples from my own life, career, and relationships, along with real talk on where I’ve caught myself doing the same thing—and how I’m working through it. If you’ve ever felt like you want more, but can’t quite pinpoint what’s holding you back… this episode is for you. And I’ll leave you with a few powerful questions to help you start shifting out of it. Interested in my upcoming event? HERE Use code: wellthyhealthy for a discount
