Are you shrinking yourself to stay safe? Staying in the shadow of someone? Holding back ideas, keeping quiet, or silencing your voice so you don’t rock the boat? That’s what playing small looks like — and it comes at a cost.

In this week’s Mojo Monday, Carly Taylor shares why staying in the comfort zone feels safe in the short term but creates a gap between who you are and who you’re capable of being. She reflects on her own experience of dipping in and out of “smallness,” and the choice to step into the unknown instead of retreating.

This isn’t about arrogance or ego — it’s about showing up as your full self, unapologetically, and being willing to take risks when it matters.
