Confidence Unfiltered with Sky Maree Steele

How to Stop Shrinking Yourself to Fit In (Ep. 3)

Sky Maree Steele Season 1 Episode 3

Have you ever been told you're too loud, too sensitive, too intense… or just too much? In this powerful episode of Confidence Unfiltered, Sky Maree Steele dives deep into why so many of us, especially women and those with ADHD, learn to shrink ourselves just to feel accepted.

We explore the hidden conditioning that teaches us to dim our light, second-guess our voice, and filter our true selves. If you've been shrinking to make others comfortable — this episode is your permission slip to stop.

You’ll learn:

  • Why you feel like you’re too much (and why it’s a lie)
  • How to reframe emotional sensitivity as a superpower
  • How to stop people-pleasing and start owning your voice
  • How to take up space unapologetically in your career, relationships, and self-expression
  • Practical mindset shifts to help you show up boldly — without shrinking, editing, or over-apologizing

Whether you’ve struggled with being “too emotional,” “too ambitious,” or “too intense,” this episode will help you reclaim your confidence and live life fully, on your terms.
