🌿 In my last article, “The Woman Who Shrinks,” I explored what really happens when confident women suddenly feel smaller in English. It’s not grammar. It’s not fluency. It’s disconnection — a quiet break between who you are and who you become when you switch languages. Today, I’d like to help you feel this shift more clearly — not by studying it, but by noticing it. Below is a simple 3-minute reflection I use with many of my students. It helps you see the exact moment your energy drops — what I call your “shrink point.” No pressure, no judgment. Just awareness. Because awareness is the first step to reconnection. 🎯 MINI-EXERCISE: “The Shrink Point” Duration: 3 minutes 1. Close your eyes and recall a recent English conversation. When did your energy drop? That’s your shrink point. 2. Ask gently: “What was I protecting in that moment?” 3. Place your hand on your chest and say: “I don’t need to protect this version anymore.” That’s where reconnection begins — not in grammar, but in grace. If this reflection resonated with you and you feel ready to explore this work more deeply, you’re welcome to reach out to me through my profile. I don’t promise results to everyone — I choose the students I work with carefully. But if it’s the right moment for you, one conversation can change how you speak, feel, and lead in English.
