Until I took Stop Playing Small, I didn’t realize how much I was “playing small”. I used to believe that making decisions was supposed to be hard or that I couldn’t make them. It was my own self-judgment. This online retreat has created the space for me to bring beliefs like this up, explore and release them. The experience of being able to show up and just be myself with Jennifer and my classmates was healing. It helped me see the places where I held back and the places that I can step into more fully in my life. I always used to think that I had to show up in a certain way; I had to be perfect. I am now seeing that showing up as I am is perfect. Stop Playing Small has helped me see that even if I make mistakes, that’s ok. I feel both lighter and freer. I feel like I have a purpose and can be myself. Self-acceptance was my biggest take-away!
