Do you work from the inside out or the outside in?
Some people go inward first.
🧠They think deeply.
🧠They reflect.
🧠They work on confidence, regulation, self-trust.
🧠They care about how things feel beneath the surface.
Other people change the outside first.
💅They update how they show up.
💅Their style.
💅Their space.
💅Their environment.
💅The rooms they walk into.
Both are valid.
But here’s what I’ve seen over and over:
When one side grows and the other stays underdeveloped, expansion stalls.
True expansion needs both.
I’ve seen brilliant people limit their impact because their external presence didn’t match their internal capacity.
And I’ve seen polished, powerful individuals feel empty because their inner foundation wasn’t developed.
In this week’s episode, I talk about why alignment between your inner architecture and your external expression matters more than most people realize.
