What happens when you stop shrinking yourself?

After two days of inspiration at Shine Away, I’m reflecting on what it means to live unapologetically and to expand without waiting for permission.

We’ll talk about what growth really feels like (spoiler: messy and magic), how to rebuild self-trust, and why joy is found not in arriving, but in the figuring.

Because expansion isn’t about becoming someone new — it’s about outgrowing what no longer fits. ✨
