In today’s unapologetically bold episode, Linda calls out the patterns that keep women—especially women of color—playing small, dimming their light, and apologizing for their greatness. Drawing from a powerful client story, Linda dives into the cultural conditioning and systemic pressures that teach women to shrink so others won’t feel small.
But here’s the truth: the world doesn’t need you to survive...It needs you to THRIVE. It’s time to own your wins, stop apologizing for your greatness, and step into your power.
🔥 Fire Facts from Today’s Episode1️⃣ Why women of color downplay their achievements—and the cultural roots of this behavior. 2️⃣ The difference between strength and power—and why being "strong" isn’t enough. 3️⃣ The life-changing shift that happens when you start celebrating your wins.
Key TakeawayStop apologizing for your success. Your greatness is not a threat—it’s an invitation for others to rise. Normalize celebrating wins, owning your achievements, and living in unapologetic power.
