How "Playing Small" Is Holding You back from Your True Potential

What it means to play small

When most people think of the word “woman,” a few characteristic images come to mind. A woman is often seen as someone who is nurturing and gentle, someone who puts others first and has a lot of compassion. While these qualities are definitely admirable, they don’t tell the whole story.

There is another side to women that is often hidden away, suppressed, and neglected. This side is bold and ambitious. It is the side that wants to take risks and go after what she wants in life.

However, far too often this side of women is suppressed by society’s expectations and limitations. As a result, many women end up living small, unfulfilled lives. They don’t pursue their dreams or reach their full potential because they don’t believe they are capable of doing so.

This is not only harmful to the individual woman, but it also has far-reaching consequences for society as a whole.

When women play small, we all lose out on the valuable contributions they could be making.
