Episode #200: The Dark Side of the Worlds Most Beautiful Country

0:00 1:08:54

You live in one of the most beautiful countries on earth.

You also live in a country where women are afraid to be seen trying. Where standing out invites being cut down. Where your bigness makes other people uncomfortable, and somehow that becomes your problem to manage.

I love Australia. But this is an honest episode.

In America, women tell me I inspire them. In Australia, they walk up and say, “I just want you to know, you're a trigger for me.” Woman after woman. And I've spent a long time working out what I'm meant to do with that. This episode is where I landed.

Tall poppy syndrome is real. The fear of being seen trying is real. And the price women pay for staying safe, the clipped wings, the unlived dreams, that's real too. I'm done cuddling insecurities to make people comfortable around my standards. This is permission for you to stop doing it too.

I read Roger Federer's graduation speech, where he reveals that despite winning 80% of his career matches, he only won 54% of the points. That one stat broke something open in me about what it means to go after your dreams without needing every step to be the right one.
