You’ve been editing yourself. Softening it. Making it sound safer, more like what you thought someone wanted to hear. But the thing you keep cutting out is usually the thing people need most. In this…
Candy MotzekHostNo entities detected.
The way you may have edited yourself, shrunk yourself to fit into the world isn't helping you.
That inner quirky stuff that you've been editing out, that you've been shrinking, that you've been translating into that safe language, it is not a liability.
It's what people who are right for you are actually looking for, and they can't find it anywhere else.
They are looking for someone who can see their golden thread in the mess of their mind, someone who has an inner knowing, someone who cares about them, and who will not separate the inner work from the outer work because they understand what happens when you try.
I'm your host, Candy Moatsak, and I wanna start by asking you something a little bit personal.
Is there a version of you that only certain people get to see? The version that meditates and prays or sits quietly and listens for a download? The one who has a sense about people? Maybe you've got a knowing or a strong intuition, but you've learned not to talk about it too much because it's hard to put into words.
The one who thinks about purpose and meaning and alignment, not as concepts, but as actual living concerns.
And then there's the professional version, the one with the credentials and the degrees and the clear elevator pitch, the one who explains what she does in surface language or explains it in a way that doesn't raise eyebrows.
Now, if those two versions of you don't quite match, this episode is for you because somewhere along the way, you learned that the full version of you was too much, that all the complicated bits were private only to you and a few trusted people.
Or maybe that certain rooms needed a certain kind of editing, and you got really good at that editing.
