Have you ever felt like you are called, capable, and gifted, yet still holding yourself back? In this episode of The Bold Becomers Podcast, Chara Jané names the quiet pattern many women of faith live in without realizing it: background behavior.

Background behavior develops after bushel experiences. It convinces you to stay hidden, to shrink your voice, to delay obedience, and to believe that your season has passed. But the truth is this: background behavior is a response. It is not your identity.

In this powerful and compassionate episode, Chara speaks directly to the woman who wants to show up but feels stuck in the fog. She shares personal insight, spiritual truth, and practical steps to help you recognize background behavior, challenge the lies it whispers, and begin moving forward in alignment with who God created you to be. If you have ever doubted your worth, questioned your voice, or felt tempted to stay in the background even while God is calling you forward, this episode is for you. You are not your background behavior. Your light was never the problem.
