TRANSCRIPT 🔗
00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:07.040
This script flip is for the woman who has something to say and keeps finding all the reasons not to.
00:00:08.800 --> 00:00:17.679
Welcome to Flip the Inner Script, a podcast for female founders who are over their inner critic showing up when they are scaling to bigger things.
00:00:17.920 --> 00:00:25.440
This podcast is for the woman who has built something and still finds herself wondering why success doesn't feel the way she thought it would.
00:00:25.600 --> 00:00:35.439
We'll dive deep into inner stories, social conditioning, self-leadership, identity, and what it actually takes to master being the woman who meets her next level.
00:00:35.600 --> 00:00:42.000
This is your permission slip to finally flip the script so that you can unlock the success you dream about.
00:00:42.240 --> 00:00:43.200
Let's go.
00:00:45.119 --> 00:00:55.359
This script flip is for the woman who has something to say, something to share, something to show, and keeps finding all the reasons not to.
00:00:55.679 --> 00:01:10.560
The post that's been sitting in your drafts for three weeks, the offer that you haven't announced yet because it's not ready, the vulnerable ask you want to make, the video that you've recorded and deleted at least four times.
00:01:10.879 --> 00:01:17.359
Girl, you're not lazy, you're not unprepared, you are scared of being seen.
00:01:17.599 --> 00:01:19.760
And there's nothing wrong with you for that.
00:01:19.920 --> 00:01:24.640
It's just the story that's running and it's not doing you any favors.
00:01:24.879 --> 00:01:26.239
Here's the old script.
00:01:26.480 --> 00:01:31.599
If I stay small and stay quiet, then I stay safe.
00:01:32.159 --> 00:01:39.840
If I'm seen, I could be judged, criticized, or worse, rejected.
00:01:40.239 --> 00:01:41.840
It makes sense, right?
00:01:42.319 --> 00:01:47.519
Somewhere along the way, being visible got wired to danger.
00:01:47.760 --> 00:01:51.040
Maybe you were the loud kid who got told to sit down.
00:01:51.280 --> 00:01:56.319
Maybe you shared something once and it didn't land or impact the way that you hoped.
00:01:56.480 --> 00:02:00.640
You launched something that you were so excited about and it was crickets.
00:02:01.040 --> 00:02:05.200
It doesn't matter where it started, but the pattern is still the same.
00:02:05.439 --> 00:02:07.280
And it's on repeat.
00:02:07.599 --> 00:02:10.080
Hide and you can't get hurt.
00:02:10.400 --> 00:02:13.680
Except hiding has a cost too.
00:02:14.159 --> 00:02:16.319
Nobody talks about that part.
00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:24.719
Every day that you stay invisible is a day the person who needs exactly what you have doesn't get to find you.
00:02:25.120 --> 00:02:32.719
And there's someone out there that needs what you do, how you share, and how you lead.
00:02:34.319 --> 00:02:35.759
So here's the flip.
00:02:36.719 --> 00:02:40.080
Being seen doesn't make me unsafe.
00:02:40.479 --> 00:02:44.800
It makes me findable by the people that I'm actually here for.
00:02:46.719 --> 00:02:48.719
Not everyone has to like it.
00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:51.360
They just have to see it.
00:02:52.639 --> 00:02:55.039
And approval was never the goal.
00:02:56.719 --> 00:03:01.360
What I'm sharing and what I'm offering will find the right people.
00:03:02.000 --> 00:03:04.800
Those are the ones that I'm showing up for.
00:03:06.719 --> 00:03:11.599
I'm allowed to take up space before I feel fully ready.
00:03:13.520 --> 00:03:15.280
Let that one sink in.
00:03:16.560 --> 00:03:24.319
You are allowed to take up space and move before you feel ready.
00:03:25.280 --> 00:03:28.879
Because ready isn't a feeling, it's a decision.
00:03:29.280 --> 00:03:39.520
You've been waiting for this feeling that's never gonna come because confidence doesn't show up first and then you make the post and then you make the launch.
00:03:39.840 --> 00:03:42.879
You post and the confidence comes after.
00:03:43.199 --> 00:03:46.479
You launch and the confidence comes after.
00:03:46.639 --> 00:03:47.759
That's the order.
00:03:48.000 --> 00:03:53.039
You do the thing and then the confidence comes every time.
00:03:53.599 --> 00:03:59.840
Nobody tells you that because it's less comfortable than just believe in yourself first.
00:04:01.360 --> 00:04:03.120
So I challenge you.
00:04:03.840 --> 00:04:12.879
Post the thing, send the voice note, say the sentence that you've already been rehearsing in your head for the week.
00:04:13.199 --> 00:04:14.560
Make the ask.
00:04:15.199 --> 00:04:24.079
Do it today, not once you feel ready, because remember, ready is never going to arrive on its own.
00:04:24.879 --> 00:04:28.319
And if somebody doesn't get it, that's not yours to own.
00:04:28.560 --> 00:04:30.240
That's not yours to control.
00:04:30.399 --> 00:04:33.920
Your job is never to be liked by everyone.
00:04:34.399 --> 00:04:43.519
Your job in this world is to be honest, to be true to you, and to let the right people find you because of that.
00:04:44.639 --> 00:04:46.079
Let this one land.
00:04:46.480 --> 00:04:49.040
Maybe you say it out loud with me too.
00:04:49.360 --> 00:04:53.920
I am not here to be small so other people are comfortable.
00:04:55.519 --> 00:04:59.439
Being visible is not dangerous.
00:05:01.920 --> 00:05:06.560
The people I'm meant for can't find me if I'm hiding.
00:05:08.079 --> 00:05:15.360
The people you are meant for cannot find you if you are hiding.
00:05:16.000 --> 00:05:17.920
So show up anyway.
00:05:18.639 --> 00:05:19.279
I know.
00:05:20.240 --> 00:05:20.879
I know.
00:05:21.040 --> 00:05:23.040
Let's take a deep breath in.
00:05:26.079 --> 00:05:27.040
And out.
00:05:31.439 --> 00:05:34.399
Go be seen today.
00:05:34.639 --> 00:05:40.560
Even if it's just a little, even if it's imperfect, even if you're not ready.
00:05:41.759 --> 00:05:43.600
That's your script flip.
00:05:43.759 --> 00:05:45.839
I'll catch you in the next one.
00:05:52.879 --> 00:05:54.879
That's a wrap on today's episode.
00:05:55.040 --> 00:06:00.000
