Summary
Along the same lines of the fear of success and pushing past the cult of average, we have to have an honest conversation around our fear of outshining and our DESIRE to be mediocre, since being successful can feel really scary. This is an episode everyone needs to listen to.
You've been taught through your experiences that you're only lovable when you're palatable and you're not making them feel bad about what they AREN'T doing - which is why it feels easier to keep making mediocre choices. But the WORLD needs you in your full light. BREAKTHROUGHS INBOUND.

| 0:00.0 | We're so scared of outshining that we completely turn off the light. And when we're in the darkness |
| 0:08.1 | of our own lack of fulfilled potential, we are destroying our lives more so than contributing |

| 0:19.3 | Hey guys, you're listening to the Big Conversations podcast. |
| 0:23.8 | I'm your host, Haley Hoffman Smith. |

| 0:37.6 | So let's get started with today's big conversation. |
| 0:44.1 | Hello, my friends. |
| 0:45.6 | Welcome back to another episode of big important conversations. |
| 0:49.8 | Today's conversation is going to be a little bit spicy, and it's all about outshining, |
| 0:56.0 | competition, dimming your light, being accepted by your peers, |
| 1:01.1 | slash worrying about their perception of you when you start to succeed, |
