Why is it that you feel powerful at home… but calculated at work? In this episode, Mischelle takes you inside the emotional split so many high-performing women navigate daily, leading with confidence at home, only to second-guess their presence in professional spaces. We unpack the real cost: from nervous system burnout to the invisible labor of managing tone, timing, and trust. This isn’t about being more confident. It’s about remembering who you’ve always been, and refusing to shrink to fit rooms that still can’t hold your truth.  If you’ve ever braced before speaking, even when you knew you were right, this is your episode. If any part of this conversation felt familiar, not just in your head, but in your body, I invite you to take a quiet next step. Discover the emotional pattern you’ve been performing in, maybe without realizing it. No pressure. No fixing. Just a gentle naming.
