Pigeon-Holed or Self-Restraint. Who's Holding You Back?

Pigeon-Holed or Self-Restraint. Who's Holding You Back?

In this episode of the KimUnity Soulutions podcast, we dive into a layered truth that many of us don’t want to face: Are we truly being “pigeonholed” by others or are we unintentionally limiting ourselves?

Kim the SME unpacks the experience of being overlooked, boxed in, or misunderstood—especially as quiet leaders, Black sheep, or those who choose solitude over small talk. Instead of staying stuck in frustration, Kim challenges you to dig deeper and reflect:

• Are you labeling your experience in a way that limits your learning?

• Are you being blocked—or being built?

• Have you stopped pursuing something because someone else told you no?

• What if that detour was protection… not rejection?

She also shares a powerful personal story about being passed over for a promotion and how choosing to serve, rather than walk away, opened unexpected doors.

Kim introduces her brand new Questions & Perspectives Card Deck—a tool designed to help teams, families, and communities move past surface-level talk and into meaningful, transformational conversations. These cards aren’t just icebreakers, they’re bridge builders.

This episode will have you rethinking how you define limitations, leadership, and your own voice. If you’ve ever felt like you were “next in line” but somehow still left waiting… this one’s for you.

🎧 Tune in now. Reflect, reset, and realign.
