Space 🙆‍♀️

What might it look like to fully take up space?

May 20, 2025

I went for a sports massage last week.

Between the cracking joints and full-body twists, the therapist noticed how tight my hips were. Afterward, as we chatted, I sat with my legs crossed, slightly hunched over, leaning into my thigh.

He gently corrected me and said: “Uncross your legs. Open up. Take up more space. The world will take you more seriously when you do. There’s no need for you to shrink.”

That landed.

I hadn’t realized how much I was physically making myself small. And how it was showing up even in how I sit.

And it made me wonder: 

Where else in life do we shrink ourselves without even noticing?
