The Coach's Corner/Expansion/Quit Auditioning for Your Family

You’re not here to be chosen, you already were. It’s time to stop shrinking your fire to earn love from people committed to misunderstanding you.

You Don’t Need Approval to Be Free

“You are not here to be chosen. You are here to remember that you already are.” ​— Dr. Diva Verdun

How many times have you caught yourself toning it down in front of your family?

Shrinking your wins.
Soothing their discomfort.
Editing your power so you don’t stir the pot.

That’s not peace.
That’s an audition.

And you can stop now.

You’re Not the Problem. You’re the Disruption

When you evolve, you become a mirror.
And for some, your reflection is uncomfortable.

Your growth exposes their stagnation.
Your joy highlights their denial.
Your truth rattles their need to keep the script the same.

So they call you too much.
Dramatic.
Difficult.
Delusional.

But let me tell you something sacred:
Their comfort is not your assignment.

Family Can Love You and Still Not See You

There’s a difference between being loved and being understood.

​Many women over 50 stay trapped in emotional loyalty contracts:

  • “If I shine too much, I’ll lose them.”
  • “If I speak up, I’ll be exiled.”
  • “If I outgrow the narrative, I’ll break the family.”

But here’s the truth:

If the only way they love you is when you’re small, ​that’s not love—it’s control dressed up in tradition.

⚡ Power Shift Protocol: End the Audition​

  • Notice Where You Shrink - Pay attention to how your body shifts around certain family members. That’s wisdom, not weakness.
  • Say It to Yourself First - Before confronting them, tell yourself: “I no longer need their approval to be who I am.”
  • Honor Their Journey, But Prioritize Yours - You can love them without aligning with their limitations.
  • Declare the Audition Over - Out loud. Right now. "I’m no longer performing for love I already deserve."

The Fire Isn’t Meant to Fit the Box

You’re not rebellious, you’re righteous.
You’re not disrespectful, you’re divine.
You’re not too much, you’re finally whole.
