Are you downplaying yourself without realising it? Do you struggle to set boundaries, assert your needs, or confidently own who you are?
In this powerful Part 2 of my conversation with Dr. Perpetua Neo, we explore why self-confidence isn’t just about being bold—it’s about knowing who you are and standing in that truth. We unpack why many people, especially women, feel pressured to soften their presence and avoid being seen as ‘too much’—and how that impacts relationships, work, and self-worth.
This episode also dives into codependency—what it really looks like beyond the stereotypes, why even high-achievers can fall into codependent patterns, and how to break free from relationships where you feel like you’re giving too much.
If you’re ready to step into your power, reclaim your voice, and build relationships from a place of confidence—this episode is a must-listen.
