Episode Synopsis

Do you ever please others at the expense of your own voice? For years I performed calm on the outside while quietly shrinking inside. I know what it feels like to keep everyone else happy while your own voice gets smaller and smaller. In this episode, I share the exact process that helped me silence my inner people-pleaser and finally lead by example. You’ll learn how to pause, tune into what you truly need, and speak up without guilt or emotional blowups. I’ll guide you through the simple shift from trigger → react → regret into trigger → pause → respond, so you can build calm, confident communication habits that last. If you’re ready to stop playing small and show up as the version of yourself you’ve always known was there, this conversation will help you take that first step.   “Pause, respond, and own your voice.” – Jenny Maxwell   You’ll hear about: Why fear of judgment keeps you playing small How stagnancy shows up in relationships and habits The ripple effect of leading by example Tony's transformation from breakup to business owner Becoming an expander for those around you One doable action step to start this week   My resources: Press Pause: https://jennymcoaching.thrivecart.com/presspause/ Your Anytime Reset: https://jennymcoaching.thrivecart.com/youranytimereset/ 1:1 Coaching Book a call: https://calendly.com/jennymcoaching/initial-call?month=2025-09   Connect with me:   LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jennymaxwell-leadership-coach-replacemicromanagement/  Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/jennymcoaching/?hl=en  Website - https://jennymcoaching.com/   Don’t Miss the Next Breakthrough Subscribe on Apple Podcasts or Spotify so you never miss a reset moment.
