For two years, Holly Fair couldn't make herself walk out of her own bedroom. Then she walked onto a stage in front of thousands of people — and crowned herself a queen.

This episode is about the quiet apology most of us are running: the one where we shave ourselves down to a smaller, safer version so we're easier to like. Holly learned to hide who she really was when she was a little girl, and it almost cost her, her life. We trace how she finally stopped apologizing for who she is — and what actually made the shift. (Hint: it wasn't willpower.)

Along the way we get into why hiding yourself wears you down, why living as your real self builds you back up, and one line from an ancient text that says living someone else's life is dangerous.

Holly is a trainer and speaker with the Tony Robbins organization. You can find her at www.fireuplife.com.

Here's the question to sit with this week: what's the part of you that's still waiting for permission to come out front?
