In this raw and powerful episode, Sonya Figueiredo invites you into a personal lightbulb moment - one that uncovered the hidden spells we carry from childhood and the deep conditioning that keeps us playing small.

Through heartfelt storytelling, Sonya explores how tribal patterns, inner child wounds, and survival strategies shape the ways we shrink, hide, and silence our true selves. She shared a vulnerable childhood memory that planted the belief that safety comes from staying small - and the journey of unlearning, reframing, and stepping into her full light.

This episode also invites listeners to reflect on their own inner voices - the ones that were once designed to protect but now hold them back - and offers a powerful reframe: You don't have to exile those parts of you. You can meet them with compassion and lead with your true self.

If you've ever gelt afraid to be seen, judged for shining too brightly, or trapped in expectations that aren't your own, this conversation is for you.
