102. How to Be Heard: Why Brilliant Women Go Quiet in High-Stakes Rooms
Description
You can be completely confident in your expertise and still walk into one room and feel like you lose access to the woman you were five minutes earlier. You know what you think. You know what needs to happen. But when the stakes are higher and the power dynamics shift, you may find yourself explaining more, softening your position, or leaving the conversation wondering why you didn’t just say what you wanted to say.
In this episode, I share why brilliant women often struggle to be heard in high-stakes rooms, and why the issue is not a lack of confidence. I break down what happens to women under pressure, including the ways we protect ourselves through patterns like shrinking, pleasing, fixing, over-controlling, or managing other people’s perceptions. You’ll learn how to recognize these patterns, reconnect with your authority, and practice the Command states that allow you to show up with grounded power and presence.
