What Happens When You Stop Apologizing for Taking Up Space?

Epictetus, Carl Jung, and Laozi examine why we apologize for existing and what we're actually protecting when we make ourselves smaller. Through their debate about whether the fear is a childhood wound, a somatic pattern, or simply a habit we've stopped questioning, they reveal that the catastrophe we're dreading almost never matches what actually happens. The listener leaves with a single challenge: notice the next time you shrink before anyone has asked you to, and do the thing anyway—then pay attention to what really occurs instead of what you predicted.📖 Pay Attention by C.
