The Femme Cast
Welcome to The Femme Cast—the podcast for women who are truly ready to break free from toxic relationship cycles, choose themselves, and become a magnet for the love they deserve.
I’m Maria — Master Energy Healer, Radical Self-Love Leader, and Relationship Mentor.
I work with the women who are cycle breakers, grid shakers, and truth layers — the brave souls who came here to dismantle the inherited beliefs that told them they had to chase love, prove their worth, and beg to be chosen.
I help them break free from the karmic cycles and generational patterns that keep them stuck in toxic relationships and self-abandonment — so they can unapologetically choose themselves, reclaim their inherent worth, and become magnetic to soul-aligned love, expansive opportunities, and the liberated life they were born to lead.
Without ever shrinking, settling, or self-abandoning again.
I’ve been where you are, stuck in cycles of chasing love, begging to be chosen, and abandoning myself again and again in the name of love. But I turned my pain into purpose, and now I’m here to help you do the same.
Each week, I share personal stories, actionable insights, and a blend of spiritual and practical tools to help you heal from past wounds, reclaim your self-worth, and rewrite your love story. You’ll hear everything from vulnerable truths about my own journey to breaking toxic patterns to empowering lessons that will guide you toward creating the healthy, loving relationships you crave.
Join me as we say goodbye to self-abandonment, people-pleasing, and unhealthy dynamics, and hello to radical self-love, emotional freedom, and true empowerment.
It’s time to reclaim the version of you who never had to beg to be chosen.
You ready?
Let’s do this.

The Art of Being “Too Much” | Why Playing Small Isn’t Keeping You Safe—It’s Keeping You Stuck
Have you ever been told to tone it down? To stop being so extra? To take up less space so others could feel more comfortable?
If you’ve ever felt like your light made people squint—this episode is your reminder that the problem was never you. It was the room you were in.
In this raw and unfiltered episode of The Femme Cast, I take you behind the curtain of the subtle and not-so-subtle ways we’re made to feel like we’re “too much” in friendships, workplaces, and even sisterhood circles—and how those experiences are almost never about us, but a reflection of others' discomfort with their own unhealed wounds.
We’ll explore:
🎤How childhood trauma and abandonment wounds shape our fear of standing out
🎤What it really means when someone is threatened by your shine
🎤The difference between sisterhood wounds and survival wounds—and how they quietly sabotage female connection
🎤Why being palatable and pleasing won’t keep you safe—it’ll keep you stuck
🎤And how to finally stop shrinking in spaces that were never meant to hold your full power
I share personal stories—from being subtly silenced in the workplace to being policed by friends for being “too much” at brunch (yes, the outfit shaming is real). And I break down the invisible dynamics that turn confident women into emotional contortionists just to belong.
But here's the truth:
You were never too much.
You were just too bright for people still trying to hide in the dark.
So if you’ve been doubting your worth, questioning your voice, or wondering if you need to shrink to be loved—this episode will help you reclaim the parts of yourself you’ve been taught to hide.
Because real safety doesn’t come from dimming your light.
It comes from shining anyway—and trusting that the right people will never ask you to shrink.

Hey you guys, what is up? Welcome back to the show. I am so excited and grateful to have you guys back. Welcome, if you're new.
MARIA @THEFEMMECAST:Today we're talking about something that we recently had a very similar conversation here on the podcast, but I kind of wanted to take it from a different perspective, and that is this idea of how sometimes we're made to feel like we're too much, or we need to kind of tone ourselves down a little bit, dim our light in order to fit in, in order to be liked and to be appreciated, and sometimes we walk into these rooms or environments or situations and we're made to feel like we're too much, and then we're made to feel bad for being too much, as if being too much is kind of a bad thing. And I'm here to tell you that you're not too much. You're probably just in the wrong room. You know You're probably in the wrong room and there's probably some mindset work to be done there. About again on that fear of abandonment, right, and fear of rejection and fear of being left behind, because ultimately we're afraid that if we um, we stand out too much, if we shine too much, if we take up too much space, if we allow just ourselves to be seen and other people to be threatened by our presence or to feel like they're in competition and, worst case, losing um, then we're afraid that we're going to be ejected from the tribe and exiled and left to die alone, literally. That is the core, foundational wound that is coming up in this moment. So, again, you know, safety first, always reminding yourself that you are safe in all of these circumstances, is so important. So we talked about this from the perspective of the sisterhood wound and how you know, women constantly compete against one another and this is probably along the lines of the same thing, but I want to bring a different lens to it.
MARIA @THEFEMMECAST:So I recently had this experience of, you know, being made to feel like I was too much and I'm using air quotes right now being made to feel like I was too much and I'm using air quotes right now, um, and it happened specifically in the workplace and in my friendship circle, where I was made to feel like I was too much, that I needed to tone it down, that I needed to to um not take up so much space, not be quite so seen, not um, hold myself to such a high standard, because it was making people around me uncomfortable In the workplace. Specifically, right, this looked like, you know, I wasn't allowed to shine, I wasn't allowed to really showcase my skill set or my knowledge and you know, what I brought to the table? I couldn't share an authentic perspective and insight and opinion, and if I did, it was all of the above was somewhat treated more like competition rather than my own, you know, freedom to shine and to excel and to really share my gifts, you know, and my talents with my team. So, instead of being seen as a positive where oh yeah, she's really talented and XYZ and she's, you know, she really brings a perspective. Maybe, ian, you know, maybe you don't have to agree with me I don't expect everybody to agree with me, but I think that the whole how dare you bring an opposing opinion? Is different than, okay, I see your opinion and I can see where it's coming from, but you know there's two different ways to handle that. Right, I don't believe, you know, I don't appreciate being in a silo where everybody just kind of agrees with whatever it is that I have to offer, but I do want to be able to offer, you know, I do want to be able to voice an opinion, a concern an insight, a perspective that maybe somebody else hasn't seen, I just put it out on the table and just allow it to just be there. You know, whether people, like you know, want to adhere to it, like whether people want to take it and run with it, so be it. If not great.
MARIA @THEFEMMECAST:But to be made to feel like I should not have an insight or an opinion or a different perspective, to be made to feel like anytime I shine or bring my skill set or my value or my experience to the conversation to see if I could, you know, use my experience to add more value and to create positive change, to make me feel like that's a bad thing, that's not cool. You know, that really just comes down to again that you know oftentimes and I see this so much when I see, you know, people pleasers in the room together where we're all just kind of trying to and I've been there, I've been in the situation so many times where we're all just trying to like, kind of like, outdo each other to see who is the ultimate pleasing person in the room, because we feel so safe when we are the most pleasing and it can be very threatening when we're not. It can make us feel like we're replaceable, like that. And that's literally what I saw in this other person that I was in this exchange with right. So, and then also in friendship circles, where, you know, I wasn't allowed to stand out too much or get too much attention or, you know, especially from men, right or I wasn't allowed to look too good, I was discouraged from, you know, getting dressed up. And I want to just preface this by saying I'm a girl's girl. I, you know, I went to fashion school. I love any excuse Not that I need an excuse, but I love any excuse to put on a fucking cute outfit and get out, especially now that you know I'm home so much, right, like I work from home, I run my business from home, I'm a home caregiver for my parents.
MARIA @THEFEMMECAST:Like I'm home, home, home, home, home. Like I do get out. It's not that I don't get out, but I spend way too much time at home. I'm usually in like some sort of like yoga pant or like exercise or lounge wear, so I don't get to get dressed up and put on a cute outfit and go out all that often. So when I get the opportunity to go out, I want to put on a cute outfit. And there was one of my friends who was literally like, oh my God, like why do you have to dress up every time we go out? It's just brunch. Can't you just come casual and relax? It's like dude, why does it matter? Like, why I spend every day in yoga pants? I don't want to wear yoga pants when I go for brunch. I mean, sometimes I do, but most times I don't. Most times I want to put on a cute fucking outfit and that is my prerogative right.
MARIA @THEFEMMECAST:I used to get so triggered by that and I think I'm probably still triggered because, like, listen to me, but it really like I mean, at the end of the day, it comes down to and this is the assumption or not assumption, but this is the conclusion I've drawn from these experiences is that when people are trying to keep you down, when people are trying to make you dim yourself, shrink yourself, not get so much attention, not gain so many accolades, it's because they in some way, shape or form, feel threatened by you. Now, both of these individuals that I'm speaking of today, you know, initially, although it was very triggering for me and it was very uncomfortable for me, and it kind of felt like it was very off. I'm choking Truth being told here. It was very off-putting for me and what I realized in this exchange with both of these individuals was actually how uncomfortable they were with my success because of in both of them.
MARIA @THEFEMMECAST:But ultimately both of them wanted to be the most liked, the most appreciated, the most of value they took. They took pride in making sure that others around them not everybody in most cases, but depending on the environment or the circle that they were in, you know, when it was one that they wanted to win the approval of, they took pride in going above and beyond to win that approval. There were some circles where they could give a flying fuck, honestly, what the other people thought of them. They were very strong women, to be honest, so there were some environments where they could give a flying fuck what anybody thought of them. So kudos to them for that. But then there was other environments where they needed to be kind of the center of attention, the most pleasing person in the room or in the conversation at all times.
MARIA @THEFEMMECAST:And luckily for me, I was in the room with them when they needed to be the most pleasing and the most appreciated, and so when I would shine, it would unnerve the fuck out of them and they would come at me and this was very jarring because it made me feel defensive. It would put me in fight mode. So obviously there was a trauma there, right where, for me, what was coming up was, you know, when I was younger and you know, you know, with my circle of friends, you know, there's always those, those couple of girls, was, you know, when I was younger and you know, you know, with my circle of friends, you know, there's always those, those couple of girls where, you know, I kind of felt like I could never really shine. They were always like berating me. They were always judging me.
MARIA @THEFEMMECAST:You know, when I did shine, they kind of, you know, they started rumors behind my back. They talk shit about me because at the end of the day, they needed to have the upper hand. They were very insecure girls and they made themselves feel better about themselves by putting me down. And they were friends, but they were almost bullies, like they were your typical mean girl, right? And so that's the vibe, that's what it was bringing me back to, right, and so that's what kind of that, that that's the vibe, that, that's what it was bringing me back to right.
MARIA @THEFEMMECAST:It was bringing me back to that you know, little nine, 10 year old me, who was feeling bullied by the girls around them, who was feeling like you know, the people that she called her good friends, her best friends, who you know, who for the most part were loving and supportive and kind, you know, would suddenly, like you know, who for the most part were loving and supportive and kind, you know, would suddenly, like you know, throw them off the pedestal the minute they started to shine or get attention, because it made them feel less uncomfortable and less about themselves. So, you know, that was, it was healing, sure, because I got to go back to that little girl and tell her listen, boo, these people would not be treating you like this if they didn't, in some way, shape or form, feel threatened by you. So actually, it's not because you're a bad person, it's not because you're uncool, it's not because you're uncute and it's not because you don't deserve all this attention, affection and accolades and the freedom to shine to your heart's content. It's because you are shining so much and it's making them as comfortable as fuck, because they don't feel good in who they are and so, instead of lifting themselves up, which is what a healthy, emotionally mature person would do. They are trying to tear you down, to bring you down to their level.
MARIA @THEFEMMECAST:Well, so, needless to say, my higher self was not going to stand for that and flat out told my inner child you go and shine, and shine to your heart's content and trust that the people who are meant to be with you will stay with you and the ones who won't, who don't, won't, and that, no matter what happens, know that you're safe because I have your back. And that's literally how we have to have these conversations with our inner child. Sometimes, right, we literally have to say to our inner child be the voice in the room that we wish we would have had back when the trauma actually happened. Right, I'm here, I've got your back, you're safe. Go, fucking shine, do your damn thing and trust that the people who are going to love you will meet you there, you know, will meet you at the door when you get there, you know. And that does take trust and that does take faith, especially when you know we've been conditioned for so long and we believed for so long that it was dangerous for us to not do every pleasing thing out there, or to do the unpleasing thing right and risk being abandoned and rejected, right, that is scary when pleasing has been your default. But in having you know and seeing it that way and seeing it as okay, well, now they're seeing me as a threat and I'm seeing and now I'm seeing it play out, and I'm actually seeing the emotional response. I'm seeing where they get triggered. I'm seeing where they get activated. I'm seeing what's activating them and I'm like, oh fuck, why didn't I see the sooner? And so I take that.
MARIA @THEFEMMECAST:And so this was the mindset shift. I take that as this is not that I'm being too much. This is not about me taking up too much space. This is literally about me stepping into my power. This is literally about me stepping into my full potential. And yeah, it's going to rattle some feathers, but do I want to not step into my full potential and risk not rattling feathers? Or just for the sake of not rattling feathers? Or do I want to risk rattling a few feathers and actually step into my full potential, especially when I think about, right, and this was and I would literally go on these mental tangents right, well, what's waiting for me on the other side of when I reach my full potential.
MARIA @THEFEMMECAST:Right, and that could be many things. It could be many things for many different people. It could be stepping into the right career. It could be earning more income. It could be finding the right relationships. It could be finding the right partner. It could be, finally, you know, achieving the health and well-being that you've been trying to achieve for so long. You know, whatever that is for you, what is the cost? Like, what is it costing you to keep yourself small, to keep other people from getting uncomfortable?
MARIA @THEFEMMECAST:Right, and how can you, you know, recognize that it has nothing to do with you and everything to do with them, and you make the conscious choice to take that as a sign that you are moving in the right direction. You are moving the direction towards your full potential, and it's ruffling some feathers and that's okay. And you continue to grow and you continue to expand and you continue to shine and you continue to evolve. And when you outgrow the room, you enter a fucking different room. Like, just leave the room and go into another room that can hold your vibe, your energy, your shine, your light. Right, instead of always trying to fit into rooms where you've outgrown, where maybe you're just too sometimes we're just too good for the rooms that we're in, you know.
MARIA @THEFEMMECAST:I know I was in a room that I was too good for what I was in and I know that you know I had made that choice because that was the choice I needed to make at the time because of, you know, whatever was going on with my family and my caregiving responsibilities, and I just needed something convenient in that moment. But I know that there was some, you know, powerful skills that I was not utilizing in this role. I was actually feeling like I was, you know, keeping myself small by being there and it started to actually feel like, you know, like like I was having an aversion to being in my own skin. You know, because I know what I'm capable of and I know what it is that I bring to the table. And, you know, as I started to let that part of myself be seen, I realized I was in the wrong room. And that's okay, you know, that's okay.
MARIA @THEFEMMECAST:The important thing is that we don't let the room decide what we think we're capable of. Right, I can recognize that I'm capable of so much more. I'm capable. I'm capable of, you know, bringing XYZ to the table. I have XYZ experience. I have talents and gifts in all sorts of places. Right, we're talking about the workplace right now. So I know that where I'm at right now, although it's great, I have a great team. I have, for the most part, I have a great team. You know. It's easy, it's flexible and it gives me the freedom to do what I need to do.
MARIA @THEFEMMECAST:But I know that I'm capable of more and I'm just I'm going to keep leaning into what that more is and trust that the pieces are going to kind of fall where they may and I'm going to keep my eyes open, my peepers peeled, to figure out what that next step is, what that next room is that I can step into. That may feel a little uncomfortably large at first, but that, I know, is where I am meant to be. So I take it as a sign that I'm moving towards my fullest potential. I take it as a sign that I'm on the right track and I take it as a sign that, you know, maybe I've outgrown some of these spaces and that's okay and I'm going to keep my, my focus and intention on always showing up as the best version of myself, no matter who's uncomfortable in the room, doing it obviously respectfully, and then, you know, keeping my focus on what that next step that I'm moving into is, and I think that when we can take it from that perspective, you know, from that empowered state versus okay, well, how am I going to like, how am I going to say, how am I going to state my opinion without actually stepping on anyone's toes, or how am I going to actually let them know what it is that I can do without it making anybody else feel like I'm somehow competing with them or outdoing them or trying to outshine them? It's not about that, and if it's about that, then I will look at your own insecurities because, you know, the only time we ever try to compete or put other people down and make other people feel bad about themselves or what they bring to the table, is because, in some way, shape or form, we feel less than. So maybe there's somewhere in there that maybe you're feeling less than, but if this is coming from a genuine place of I know what the fuck I'm capable of, I know what it is I'm here to do, I know my gifts and my talents and the experiences that I bring to the table, and I'm going to let that be seen right and I'm going to let that contribute. And I'm going to let that contribute and I'm going to let that add value and I'm going to use that in positive ways to create impact. When you can do that, and do that from a place of recognizing that when these things happen, they're just goalposts, letting you know that you're moving in the right direction.
MARIA @THEFEMMECAST:And, rather than shying away from those opportunities, lean in. Lean in to making people feel uncomfortable, lean in and keep stepping forward when people make you feel like you know you're taking up too much space or you're shining too much, or you're. You know you're coming across um you're, you know you're, you're, you're coming across um they're. They're taking it as competition rather than, um, you know your own personal uh, achievement or elevation and and how you're trying to to up-level yourself and your career. These are all very unhealthy patterns and obviously you know they're coming from a wounded place. Um, you know, hurt people. Hurt people, right? Obviously, if they're feeling from a wounded place, hurt people, hurt people, right. Obviously, if they're feeling this insecure to take me, showcasing my skills as a threat, obviously there's something wrong there, right? I'm not saying that there's something wrong with them, but obviously there's some issues that they're working through that is triggering for them, and my hope is that one day they see it that way, you know, so that they can heal these wounded parts of themselves.
MARIA @THEFEMMECAST:But to hold myself down, to let my to to you know, dull my shine to to, um, you know, uh, uh, not sugarcoat, but to veil or to hide the experience, the value, the skill set that I bring to the table so that I can keep others, by feeling threatened by them, fuck, no, like, no, that is. I'm just not available for that anymore. There was a time when I used to do that, because the most important thing for me was to fit in and to be liked. And it's not that I don't like to fit in, it's not that I don't like to be liked, and it's not that I don't like to fit in. It's not that I don't like to be liked, and it's not that I don't like to be friend, create friendships in the workplace. I'm not ruthless Like, I'm always very respectful and I'm always very supportive of other people's ideas and perspectives, and that's one thing that I always, you know, try to advocate for is to people, for to create a space where people can bring their insights, their ideas and and and and their, their skills and feel celebrated and acknowledged for it.
MARIA @THEFEMMECAST:Because I think, you know, the more we can do that, the more we can accomplish. When we can, you know, lift each other up, and I'm I'm a I'm a huge believer in especially women lifting up other women. Like we need more women in leadership roles, we need more women out there making an impact, and if we keep cutting each other down like this, like we're never going to get there. So I believe in lifting myself and in lifting others too. So you know, I will continue to advocate for other women to uplift themselves, to showcase their skills, to shine and to add value and to create impact. I will continue to try and do the same and, unfortunately for the women, that it makes them uncomfortable. I hope that they take it as an invitation to maybe get to that place where they feel confident enough and good enough and worthy enough within themselves to be able to lift up other women as well and not see them as a threat. And sometimes I think there's just like fine line of like oh yeah, I'm willing to lift up other women and support other women and help other women elevate until they get better than me and then suddenly I want to cut them down.
MARIA @THEFEMMECAST:There's that too, you know, and I've seen that. Where it's like, yeah, I'm cheering you on, and I've seen that, where it's like, yeah, I'm cheering you on and I support you and I want you to accept. What do you mean? You're making more money than me, right? What do you mean? You just got the promotion that I've been pining for for like the last like five years and you basically just woke up one day and it like dropped right in your lap, like what do you mean? What do you mean? You got the perfect partner that I've been, like you know, dating every douchebag for the last 10 years, trying to sift through, and you date one guy and suddenly you find him out of like, like like an oyster out of a fucking, like a, like a pearl out of an oyster shell. Like what is that? You know there's that too, right? So don't let that mislead you either.
MARIA @THEFEMMECAST:All of these are tribal wounds, sisterhood wounds that we've kind of again going back to that whole. We do see other women often as competition, but in these cases, especially in the workplace, this can happen with men too. This is not a sisterhood wound, this is a survival wound. This is a patriarchal belief that makes us believe that we always need to be winning, that we always need to be the most powerful person in the room, the most valuable person in the room. Otherwise, you know, our career, our livelihood, our survival, our very survival, could be threatened if we're not you know. So that's where I think the difference comes between this and last episode. Last episode, we talked a lot about the sisterhood wound. This goes a little bit deeper, right, so I will leave you with that.
MARIA @THEFEMMECAST:I feel like I kind of went on a tangent today. I don't know if you got anything from that, but other than to say I give you permission to shine to your heart's content, to let your value and your worth be seen and witnessed by all, to lead, to create impact, to make positive momentum in your life, in your communities and in the world around you, and to really step into your full potential. And when you see people in that process trying to tear you down, take that as a sign that you're moving in the right direction, because darkness will always try and take down light. So if the darkness is trying to take you down, take that as confirmation that you're shining as bright as fuck and to keep shining. And if you're in rooms or places or environments that just you know, you feel like, you know you keep putting your value out there and people are yeah, yeah, that's great and anyway.
MARIA @THEFEMMECAST:So we're going to go over here, you know, when it's not, when you're not making the impact that you want to make with your skills, with your, with the value that you bring, with your perspective, your insights, you know, maybe it's time to think about getting a different, getting into a different room, a different conversation, sitting at a different table, one where you can actually make a difference. And I do believe and I will leave you with this one thought you know it's not up to the room to decide whether we think our, what we have to bring, is valuable. We need to innately know that what we bring is of value, and waiting for the room to tell us whether or not it's valuable is you know that's another form of that's waiting for external validation right, we need to know that it's valuable and when we know that it's valuable, and we bring it to the table, and we bring it confidently whether or not other people want to pick it up. That is their prerogative right. People always have a choice, but and we shouldn't let whether or not people pick it up determine the value that it brings.
MARIA @THEFEMMECAST:But and so I say that to illustrate the point you know sometimes rooms that make you feel small. If it's making you feel small, then that means you have some work to do so that you don't feel small in those rooms. Are you following me? So like, if you walk into a room and no one's appreciating what you bring to the table and suddenly you're feeling really small? Well then there's some work to do because, regardless of what's happening in your surroundings, you should never let your surroundings dictate whether or not you bring value or not.
MARIA @THEFEMMECAST:Right, but when you can walk into a room and add value, share your gifts, share your talents, share your insights, and either A, you'll make an impact with them or, b, you know, maybe you don't make an impact with them and people don't pick action on them, or you know, work with them, but you still feel like, okay, well, maybe they didn't pick that up and they didn't want to run with it, but I still feel like I know I add value. That's when you know you're coming from a whole place and when you can be in a room and say, well, you know, maybe they didn't pick that up or you know maybe, um, that wasn't for them or they weren't ready for that at the time, but I know that I still bring value. Um, you know maybe that maybe you could still be in that room and still contribute and still offer your ideas and still offer your perspective and still let your light shine. And if it's constantly, if it's constantly where they're not picking up your ideas or letting you shine or letting you share your gifts and your talents with the team or the community or the organization, then it probably is time to find a new room or a new table to sit at, right, one that'll really appreciate what you have to offer. Because if you know that you have to offer it, now it's up to you to find a place where you can utilize it and make impact with it. Right, and if you have skills that you need to. This is totally becoming we've totally veered from relationships and targeted career thing or purpose. But if you can walk into those spaces knowing the value that you bring, knowing the impact that you can make and you can continue to take aligned action with that. That's what you want and you know, eventually you'll get into those rooms where you're meant to be, where you can make the impact, where you can add the value and where you can lead with confidence. Right, so keep leaning into that. But if there's a part of you that is feeling small in these rooms because they're not valuing your ideas, and that is your work to do, to see, okay, where can I find the value in me, the worthiness in me, without needing that external validation?
MARIA @THEFEMMECAST:Because, let me tell you, I did it with this podcast. Like, for so long I felt like nobody was listening. I kept fucking talking. I kept fucking talking because I knew I had stories, I had been through some shit and I wanted to share some shit, right, and I knew that some of that shit was going to be really helpful for other people to listen to. And so had I not leaned into that discomfort of feeling like, well, nobody's listening, so nobody really cares anyway, here we are a few years later. You know, over 100 countries listen to the podcast, over 1,000 cities. You know, all over the world Some of them I can't even fucking pronounce and they've been listening to my content, right, and imagine the impact that I wouldn't have made had I given in to that feeling of, well, nobody's listening, so why bother? You will find your mic. You will find your mic, you will find your podium.
MARIA @THEFEMMECAST:The point is keep leaning in, keep believing, keep trusting, keep sharing, keep shining. And when it feels like you know you're in a space where you know the value that you bring, you see the value that you bring. You know what you're capable of but there's just no room to really make a dent with that, that's when you know it's time to move. Okay. And if you're feeling small because you know the people around you aren't picking up on your ideas or appreciating you know what it is that you bring to the table and what you have to offer and what you share, then that is yours to do.
MARIA @THEFEMMECAST:That is your work to do before you start to get into those bigger conversations, because when you get into those bigger rooms you get to sit at those bigger tables. Let me tell you, if you're not solid and believing, you know who you are and what you're all about and what you're talking about, they are going to, like, rattle you more than any of those small rooms ever could trust me. So some unsolicited career advice today. We started with relationships. We moved into career and purpose, so take with Matt what you will. I love you guys Until next time, massive love.
