Immigrants often live in an in-between place.
They are here, but not always fully welcomed.

As an immigrant myself, I know what it feels like to live in between.

And now, immigrants feel suddenly “important.”
But it’s not really about us.
We have become a symbol. A vehicle for many strong feelings.

It’s not just about borders.
It’s about belonging.
About what kind of human field feels safe enough to stay in.

We all carry scars.
Some are easier to notice than others.
And some, are true launchpads.

Self-loyalty is the moment you stop performing and start inhabiting yourself, when your voice and your body finally match. When judgments start to loose their grip on us.

That’s where steadiness comes from.
That’s where real authority begins.

If this hits something true in you, tell me where or when does your body say “not anymore.”

Have you noticed how sometimes we feel drawn to someone (or pushed away) before we know anything real about them?

We’ve all felt it:

• That instant “home” sensation with someone we barely know

• The quiet hope that a new connection might repair something old in us

• The whisper after betrayal: 𝘗𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘦 𝘣𝘦 𝘴𝘢𝘧𝘦. 𝘗𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘦 𝘣𝘦 𝘥𝘪𝘧𝘧𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘵

• Confusing quick rapport with real trust, or trusting charisma over character

Our first impressions aren’t neutral. They arrive carrying projection, aspiration, desire, and the stories our body remembers before we do.

There’s one question that changes everything: Do I feel more me next to this person… or slightly distorted?

My new episode explores this with depth and clarity. The Law of Educated Guesses: Why We Misread People, and Why It Feels So Real.

What is your definition of autonomy? Love to know your take on it.

When you’ve reached every marker of success and something still feels off… that’s your body speaking.
Shame isn’t the enemy.
It’s the gate back to your real voice—
the gate toward authenticity.
And the moment you take your true space—
not more, not less—
the room expands,
and your voice lands with its full meaning.
If you’ve reached the top and still feel the gap, tell me where it gets heavy. -loyalty

Shame isn’t a warning of inadequacy. It’s an opening.
Trust that.
You are built to grow to your full size.
Stand in your own authority,
and let the room rise to meet you.

We all know that moment when we walk away from a conversation and feel our whole body tighten — replaying every word, worrying we were too much, wishing we had stayed smaller.

That isn’t modesty. It’s the earliest form of shame, pulling us back into the roles we learned to survive.

This episode unpacks why we shrink to stay safe… and how we slowly grow back into our full emotional size.

We talk about:

• the first moment we learn to be “less”

• how shame speaks through the body, not the mind

• the roles we adopt to stay inside the field (Caretaker, Solver, Quiet One, Performer)

• the sensory experience of unshrinking

• and how autonomy grows when shame stops being the boss

It’s not about reinvention. It’s reunion ..with the parts of us we hid to stay loved.

If you want the short version, here’s what this conversation asks you to consider:

👉 Are you connecting… or disappearing?

👉 What part of you deserves to be in the room with you today?

👉 What would “standing in your full size” feel like today?

👉 What if shame was just information — not your identity?

👉 And what relationships would remain if you stopped shrinking?

If any of this hits somewhere real, listen in: https://player.captivate.fm/episode/117ce1b2-7b3b-47b7-ac33-46f70f411b2f/

And if you know someone living at the edge of their own life, share this episode with them — let it reach anyone ready to grow back into their full size.
