There's this beautiful tension between being able to show up authentically in different rooms and slipping into performance mode without even realizing it. Marisa calls it her gift to "mold and chameleon" into different spaces, but there's a line where connecting becomes performing, where you're trying to prove you're worthy of being in the conversation instead of just being present. And Sara knows this tension intimately. When her business expanded last year, revenue grew but so did expenses. She found herself making the same money, staring at her bank account thinking, "Well crap, I'm not who I said I was." That's where imposter syndrome lives. Not in failure, but in the gap between who you think you should be and what the data shows.

🔥 In This Episode:

• The difference between authentically matching energy in a room versus going into performance to feel worthy
• Sara's raw story of expansion, increased revenue, flat profits, and the identity crisis that followed
• Why you can't just switch a button and muscle your way through imposter syndrome
• How your nervous system stores everything and why healing happens in layers, not quick fixes
• The vibrational frequency you bring into spaces and how it mirrors back what you're extending

Healing isn't about someone telling you to just change your behavior and push through. You have to sit in the tension, understand why you're feeling the way you do, and honor where you actually are. That's where the real power lives.
