How often do you edit yourself in conversation to say what you think people want to hear instead of saying what’s true for you? Where in your life are you being yourself, but only at half volume? And are you secretly resentful and exhausted from making yourself smaller so that other people around you are more comfortable? So I’m doing a specific unpacking of my full astrological profile right now, and it’s a very nuanced, really fucking deep examination of the distortions that have been constant themes in this incarnation. And one of the first distortions is why I’ve known who my true self is my whole life and why I’ve compromised the full expression of her. So I wanted to do an episode about this because I see this all the time, every day, in fact. We’re all conditioned by our families, uh, if not them, then definitely by school systems and then society and culture to quote unquote fit in, to not be so loud, to not take up too much space, to not rock the boat, to do whatever everyone else is doing that’s cool and acceptable. Even if it asks us to dim our light, to silence our voice, to tone ourselves down, to conform. And we’ve all suffered because of that. So in today’s episode, we’re going to talk about the cost of minimizing your true self, of making yourself small, of only being your authentic self like 50% of the time, and why, even though deep down you know who you really are, you still compromise the full and whole and radiant, brilliant, badass, give no fucks, divine and highest version of you. Welcome to the Simple Source, a paradigm shifting space where self-love, healing, spirituality, and personal growth are redefined. Have you been told healing takes years, that abundance must be attracted, or that transformation requires struggle? You haven’t been told the truth. I’m Linda Villines, a certified, trauma-informed holistic coach, author, and spiritual guide. After healing myself from chronic conditions, complex trauma, and lack, not by following traditional frameworks, but by creating my own, I’m now teaching you to love, heal, and free yourself, mind, body, and soul, so you can reclaim your highest health, happiness, and potential with joy and ease. Each week, we go beyond surface-level self-help and into the real mechanics of transformation. If the traditional paths to healing and spirituality haven’t produced the changes you want in the life you desire, you’re in the right place. You were never meant to struggle or wait for what is already yours. Let’s get started with today’s episode. So a lot of really uh self-aware, really smart, really mature people can excel in various areas of their life, but in certain situations, they shrink, right? Maybe it’s around a certain type of person or in a certain type of circumstance circumstance or in a certain type of circumstance, but I see this like all the time. Someone who shines like 40% of the time as their whole and highest self. And then the rest of the time, they tone themselves down or they soften that thing that they really want to say. And that, of course, shows up as people-pleasing, right? Saying yes when you really want to say no, smiling when you’re actually grimacing or annoyed inside, saying you’re fine when you’re exhausted and unhappy, trying to be easy-going, trying to be agreeable while your true wants and needs are suppressed, or making your voice a little more digestible because you can sense that the people that you’re talking to, relating to, can’t actually hold the full version of you. Sound familiar? That’s all familiar to me. The last, the last one, especially in the past few years. My full whole highest self in human form is a version that many people in my life just can’t hang with. Not because my friends don’t love me, but because I operate truly multidimensionally. And like 99.999999% of people, I have done the math alive, can’t relate to how I experience reality, to what I see, to what I feel, what I know, what I hear, like 24-7. But what I’ve come to terms with recently in the past year is that every time I show up smaller than the full, unrelatable version of me to make the other people around me more comfortable, it really is like a deep self-betrayal because I’m betraying my soul, my body, my consciousness, my heart, my field. And so now I really endeavor to give fewer shits about the comfort of other people because at the end of the day, the comfort that matters the most is the integrity I hold in my mind, in my body, right? My consciousness, my heart, my soul, about whether I have lived truthfully. And so I hope this episode gives you permission to also give fewer fucks about making other people comfortable in your divine presence and more permission to be big, to be loud, to shine, to be weird, to be odd, to be unrelatable, to say the raw and honest thing, to look unusual and brilliant or beautiful. Because as we’re gonna get into throughout this episode, every single time you make yourself smaller, your body, your reality, your entire sense of self gets smaller too. Meaning your potential for real and lasting joy and love and abundance and connection and community and success or whatever your heart desires gets smaller. Because minimizing yourself for others is not without consequences, friend. Quite the opposite. Your body is paying for it, has paid for it. Your nervous system pays for it, your reality pays for it. A lot of what you have accumulated and have been carrying from making yourself smaller to be more acceptable and less vulnerable is actually the enormous energetic and physiological and psychological and emotional weight and spiritual weight of thousands of self-betrayals. And your body has felt every single one of them. Your field has felt every single one of them. Your reality reflects every single one of them. And that’s why you’re secretly resentful. That’s why you can’t seem to shake that exhaustion, why you’re always stressed, why you feel alone even around the people that you love, why you’re fed up often, why you can’t seem to land the thing. Because decades of self-betrayal and self-abandonment have created and reinforced dysregulation, inner tension, a nervous system that has never really gotten to fully relax, and a body that has never fully felt free in itself. And what you experience as external symptoms and external problems can be traced back to how honest or dishonest you have been with yourself in private and in public. Because it’s not always for the sake of others, right? Even though that’s often the trigger for a self-betrayal for minimizing yourself. Sometimes, even when no one is watching, you still don’t allow yourself to be free, right? To be whole, to be big. So that’s what we’re unpacking in this episode. While you can feel and know and understand your true self and still shove them into the corner without light, without air. Now, before we move on, I want to be clear: there is a difference in being gentle with how you treat other people, with how you communicate for effectiveness and suppression of your true self. The former is you being honest while being compassionate. The latter is you being afraid of being seen whole and full and real in order to be loved and accepted or to keep the peace. And the former is not what we’re talking about today. All right, so let’s talk about the latter. So if you’re listening to this, I’m assuming I’m just gonna make a wild guess that you are probably someone who gives a shit about themselves to some capacity. So you’re probably intelligent, you’re capable, you’re likely pretty competent in many areas of your life. You can handle the tough shit, you know how to do the work or you have done the work. And still, still, there are specific people or specific dynamics where you shrink, where you edit yourself, or you edit your truth, where you become acceptable instead of a hundred percent real and true to you. Now, firstly, I want to say that doesn’t mean that something is wrong with you. You are not weak because of that. You haven’t failed at personal growth, you haven’t failed at your healing. What’s happening is just a learned adaptation, a survival response. Because somewhere along the way, in your childhood, that’s always what that means, you learned which versions of you were safer to be and which versions were not, right? Which versions got loved more, praised more, chosen more, which versions got the higher grades, more approval, more recognition, and which versions didn’t, right? Got punished, which versions were criticized, rejected, shamed, abandoned. And despite how you might judge your body or how you might feel about your body, the truth is your body isn’t broken. Your body is incredibly intelligent. Your body, being the house for your nervous system, for your soul in this life, is designed to keep you safe and connected and alive. So when a version of you got those things, connection, a sense of safety, belonging, love, your nervous system and thus your body, went, okay, all right, we’re gonna file that as the safe version. And safety is prioritized by your nervous system, by your body, by your brain. And it doesn’t matter, unfortunately, it doesn’t matter if that version of safe meant that your true self had no voice. And then as that version of you got reinforced over time, meaning when you didn’t change the conditioning, you didn’t reteach your body that being your full whole self is now safe as an adult, your nervous system and your body kept prioritizing that quote unquote old safe version of you. That’s attachment conditioning, or what is also known as a fond response. So let me explain that another way. If you became the competent child, meaning you were the one who figured out that being helpful, being responsible, being competent was how you were given attention and love by your family, how you made friends more easily, then that version of you essentially got rewarded. And so then you just became hyper-useful to stay safe. But now, as an adult, you cannot make mistakes without feeling like a failure. You’re the one who offers to help your friends with their lives, even though your life is like secretly an emotional mess, because the competent version still feels like the only safe version. It still feels like the version that keeps you loved. Even though, and this is what is important, at this point as an adult, you have spent decades just wanting to mess up, to not know the answers, to not make plans for the group, to just sit the fuck down and let someone else take care of it. Or maybe you were the expressive child, the loud one, the sensitive one, the one with big feelings, big opinions, big talent, big personality. And then somewhere along the way, someone told you, overtly or subtly, that you were too much, too loud, too dramatic, too intense, your joy was too much, your tears were too much, that essentially you being you was a problem. And so then you learned to tone yourself down, to be quieter, to not take up so much space, to say less, to hold back your opinions. And so now as an adult, maybe you can lead a whole meeting, maybe you can make the most sales on your team. But the minute that you are around someone who reminds your body, your nervous system, that your whole self doesn’t get approval, doesn’t get acceptance, you shrink to make yourself more acceptable, more manageable, more likable, quote unquote likable. Or maybe like me, you experienced both, right? You were raised in an environment where you were told to be quiet, to be obedient, to earn your place, to not dream, to not make problems for other people, and to not want too much. But that wild and sovereign, undeniable part of you knew that you were never meant to be quiet and small and invisible. I think that we have all experienced that to like some degree. Like the soul in the true self knows freedom, right? Knows your truth, knows how brilliant and big and beautiful you are. But then the rest of your life and the world tell you to be less than. And then you get rewarded for being less. And that’s a real and significant inner and outer conflict that doesn’t get resolved by self-awareness and more self-help books. It gets resolved when your knowing becomes embodied, meaning when what you know about yourself is not only true in your mind, but true in your body and also safe in your body. Now, I want to get into something that I said earlier earlier because many people don’t connect the dots here between I shrink myself on a daily basis, do I have daily symptoms and problems? Many people think that if you’re dealing with depression or anxiety or sleep problems or digestive issues, chronic pain, that it’s like the obvious stuff, right? You’re not eating your vegetables, or you’re not taking care of your body, you’re like not exercising, or you’re working too much, you’re too stressed. And if you have invested in healing, then you probably also understand that trauma, your childhood, major unresolved stressful events also factors, right? Now, those things are all contributors to symptoms. But this is what I want you to think about that you probably haven’t thought about. The constant nervous system burden of making yourself smaller every single day. The constant nervous system burden of self-betrayal and self-abandonment, right? That heavy load of repressed and suppressed emotions, of joy, of grief, of anger, of rage, of shame in your body, because you have chosen the safe version of you over the true version of you. That’s a real burden. So your body is always reacting to its environment. That’s literally the design of your nervous system, right? Respond to my immediate environment. And your body’s environment is you, is your thoughts, your feelings, your choices, your behaviors, your field, your community, right? What you watch on Netflix, what you listen to, the music, the podcast, what you eat, what you put into your body, the things that touch your body, whether you’re in a city with smog or in uh nature with fresh air. And your entire environment reflects how truthful you are to yourself. All of it. Now, to be clear, I’m not talking about financial and societal constraints, like whether or not you can afford things, whether or not your community is kind or bigoted. I’m not talking about that. But your environment, there are instructions for your nervous system and thus your body. So when you override your truth to stay acceptable, and then you feel shame and resentment, that becomes the environment your body responds to. And your body does not register that self-betrayal as you trying to be mature or you trying to be kind or responsible. Your body registers that as emotional suppression. Your body registers that as the stress and shame of self-betrayal, as internal conflict that is not getting resolved. And when that happens once in a while, your system can handle that. But when it happens over and over for years, decades, your body starts carrying a massive accumulated load of stress and physical, uh, emotional, and yes, like spiritual tension that it’s not designed to carry for decades. Your body is designed to handle short-term or acute stress. Long-term and chronic stress, that is not what your body is designed to handle. And that is what self-suppression and self-abandonment and self-betrayal are to your body. Like real stress. If you’ve been doing the work but still feel stuck, like no matter how much healing, manifesting, or personal growth you invest in, or spiritual practices you try, something just isn’t clicking. You’re not alone and you’re not failing. The truth is, most teachings and approaches are outdated and only scratch the surface. My book, Unconditional, You Are Perfect As You Are, helps you understand exactly why things haven’t been clicking and how to resolve the root of why you’re struggling. Unconditional self-love isn’t just a nice idea if you truly want to be free. It’s the missing piece and the foundation for everything you desire. And you don’t have to do or figure everything out on your own. You deserve clear, comprehensive, and empowering step-by-step guidance in self-love, self-healing, and spiritual growth.

And then just think about what that actually like takes energetically for you to like suppress in real time. Okay. You have an impulse or truth that arises in you, right? Something real wants to come out of your mouth. You want to say something, you want to say no, or you want to say yes, or you want to cry, or you have some sort of need. And instead of following the impulse, the need or saying your truth or crying or just being like, no, you swallow it, you redirect, you edit, you put on a brave face, you neutralize it, you shrink. You essentially perform being something else. And that takes energy, and not the kind of energy that you have from ease, but energy that is sourced from vigilance, because it’s the energy of constantly monitoring yourself and the people around you. And your body is then spending energy on performing and being vigilant and scanning. That’s a fuck ton of energy. Now, if you add up every single conversation, every relationship, every day for every year that you have done that from childhood to adulthood, that’s why no amount of rest or vacationing is going to remedy you feeling exhausted. You’re not tired because you’ve been working too much, which I mean if you work too much, don’t work too much. Of course that’s a factor. But what I’m saying is the fatigue, the soul fatigue, is from the enormous energy that it requires to not be yourself and pretend to be someone else. The exhaustion is not about sleep or work. It’s about how tired your brain, your body, your soul are from trying to not be whole and full and free. That nagging resentment that sits underneath the surface all the time, that low-grade annoyance, that low-grade anxiety that lives in your chest and your body, in your stomach that never fully resolves, the intermittent insomnia that’s all connected to your body not feeling safe to be itself, or to let decades of facade that it has been carrying to be accepted go. The digestive issues that flare up for no no reason, that’s because your gut is full from all the truths that you have swallowed, all the truths that you have not digested, and the depression when nothing is wrong on the Outside is connected to the drain of your life force not being allowed to be like yourself, to be whole and full for a long ass time. Now, I’m not saying that there are no other factors to your symptoms. Maybe your diet is full of processed foods. Maybe you don’t exercise or get a fresh air. I’m not commenting about that. What I am bringing to your attention is chronic self-suppression, chronic self-abandonment, chronic rejection of what’s true in you and about you to perform what you think other people are going to be comfortable with. That’s a very real cost on your body. And that cost shows up in ways that most people have been led to believe is just like a surface health issue or a I work too much issue, or I don’t think positively enough issue. When really underneath it, there is something a lot simpler going on. Your body has just been living in opposition with itself day after day, year after year. And your body is telling you, like, can we just be free? Right? Your symptoms are your body communicating with you. They’re not your body betraying you. Your body, contrary to what you may believe, is deeply loyal to you. It will always fight for your survival, like literally battle for your survival. And it never lies to you. Whether or not you know how to listen to your body, whether or not you trust your body, those are different things. But your body will tell you when it needs rest, when it needs space, when it needs love, connection, freedom, and to stretch and to your truth, when you need to say yes, when you need to say no. And let me tell you, that response is immediate. One of the reasons that I can see over 25 different types of energy, 24-7 without trying, why I can hear frequencies beyond the normal human auditory range, 24-7 without trying, why I can feel, move, and direct supercausal energy at will, is because last year I got to a place where I literally said out loud to my body, to my highest self, to the whole fucking universe, to all universes, no. No to buying into the normalized limitations, no to not claiming the life, the love, the wealth that are mine, because I have already created them. No to anything that told me that I have to prove my divinity, prove my worth, remove some arbitrary block, or pass a test. And when I proclaimed this is me, whole, sovereign, not giving any fucks about what is normally taught and accepted because I am unconditional, my body went, oh, fucking finally. And my nervous system was literally freed from decades of distortion that had been holding on to because of other people’s limitations that I had like consciously, unconsciously subscribed to. And then after that is when I spontaneously developed multidimensional sight, hearing, and command over super causal energy that I did not train myself to do. I didn’t train for that. I didn’t even try. My body was just liberated because I stopped using precious energy to make myself small. Actually, get into the whole cascade effect of all I tell the whole story in the episode called like why I stopped manifesting and my quantum shift after that you should listen to if you haven’t yet. But it wasn’t just my body that was liberated, my entire reality shifted. I shifted timelines over 25 times in three months last year. Timeline shifts that resulted in verifiable changes in my reality, present and past. And not timeline shifts where I woke up and I was like, oh, I feel different. No, like my entire reality responded, like verifiable changes. Self-betrayal is not just a physiological event, it is a whole field event. So there’s a doctrine in physics called It from Bit introduced by John Wheeler, a Princeton physicist. And what Wheeler proposed is that physical reality, meaning matter, energy, space, time, all of it, is not the fundamental layer of existence. Information is. So what we experience as solid matter is actually the downstream expression of information. And so every particle, every field, every force derives its existence from binary information, essentially yes and no questions being answered at the quantum level. So reality is not built out of matter or even particles. Reality is built out of information that then shows up as particles in matter. All right. So that means that the physical world that you exist in is not what it appears to be at a fundamental level. Your chair is not really a chair. You know, that’s true on so many levels, but it from bit says that there is a deeper responsive layer of information exchange underneath the chair, right? I mean, underneath is like a perspective. It’s not really underneath a chair, but fundamentally, what is physical is not physical. It’s just responsive information, right? And that layer is constantly responsive, meaning it’s not static. It responds to the information that’s being transmitted to it. So if we apply that to your body, if matter is downstream from information, that is a response to a yes or no, then your life, including the relationships that you have, your abundance or your seeming lack of, the visibility, the love, career, success, all of that is part of your reality, your physical world. All of that is not just responding to what you consciously say you want. On a deeper level, your reality is responding to the information or the signals that you are constantly emitting. So that means that every time you shrink, suppress, override, apologize, make yourself smaller, mute your desires, you swallow your truth, you perform the acceptable version of you, the information that you transmit from your field to your reality is a no. And that no is, of course, then an instruction to your reality, just like it’s an instruction to your body. Because you did say no, no to your truth, no to your joy, no to your freedom, no to your voice, to your desire, to your needs, to your rest, to your fun, to your authentic highest self. And then you wonder why your life is the way it is, why the love is not the love that you really want, why the career is almost, but not quite, why the money is not enough, why the work is actually beneath what you know that you are capable of, why everything just keeps showing up slightly less than what you want, or not at all what you want. It’s because your reality has been receiving no to your highest truth and thus highest timeline as instructions. Because saying no to your highest truth and highest self are instructions that say make it smaller, make it more comfortable for other people, make it more manageable for other people, make it less threatening to other people. And reality, being informationally responsive, did exactly that. And not to punish you, but to obey you because you are your reality. So the real question is not how do I find my truth? You already know your truth. I just did a whole episode about that. The real question is, how long are you gonna keep telling your reality no to your highest self and no to your highest timeline? What you truly are and what you already truly have. That’s your highest timeline. So the move is clearly to start saying yes. And yes, it could be that simple, friend. You don’t need another self-help book or to, you know, do another workshop series. You don’t have to go out trying to figure out what you already know. What you need is fidelity, meaning fidelity to what you already know, fidelity to your truth, to your soul truths, to your highest self. And until that fidelity becomes a body state, when that knowing about who you truly are becomes full embodiment, not just a mental concept, but in your body, and not half-sized either, not three-quarter sized either, but full, big, whole, true. And embodiment doesn’t happen with like a feeling state or a belief change. It happens when your body completes integration, when it reorganizes the old with the new, and then it learns that the new, which is what is true, is safe. So that means embodiment is built by your repeated yes that replaces all of those self-betrayal no’s. When saying yes to your true self becomes behavioral, becomes habitual, relational, spoken, right? Verbalized, communicated, visible in your choices and your schedule and your boundaries and your career and your time off and your personal finances and your community. That’s when the knowing of who you truly are becomes the embodiment of who you truly are. So every day, moment by moment, when you say yes to your true and full and big ass, unapologetic highest self, and then that yes is felt as safe in your body, and then that yes remains uncompromised and then expressed and then acted upon and then reinforced in your environment and in your lifestyle, and then you repeat that and you repeat that, you are becoming embodied as your true and highest self. That means every honest no is actually a yes, right? Every clean boundary is a yes. Every time you stop overexplaining yourself to make yourself more understandable is a yes. Every time you let your desire be full, be ridiculous, be true instead of edited is a yes. Every time you stop shrinking for someone else’s comfort is a yes. Every time you say the true thing, the raw thing instead of just the polite thing is a yes. Every time you let yourself be loud or sensitive or brilliant or weird or soft and vulnerable, raw, real, powerful, exactly as you are, without apologizing, is a yes. And each one of those yeses is a new instruction to your body, to your reality, a new signal, right? That says no, no more self-abandonment, no more unnecessary inner and out of stress, no more small containers for my big ass high self, no more small sums in my bank account, no small successes, no small love, yes to the whole big real thing, yes to the big, ridiculous out there love and ridiculous money, big visibility, big community, if that’s what you want. And your body will start to then literally reshape itself. Your field will literally start to shift. And the exhaustion that never quite went away, that resentment that you could not shake, that frustration at all of your life circumstances, that stuff is just going to start to release, resolve, because your body and your field are no longer taxed by the cost of constantly suppressing the truth of them. They will literally have the energy and capacity to optimize instead of just managing tension all day long. And when you’re no longer exhausted and resentful and frustrated all the time, it’s gonna be so much easier to embody your true and highest truth and selves. And then that becomes a positive, self-reinforcing cycle, a life-giving, life-invigorating cycle, as opposed to that diminishing cycle of depletion that you have been operating in. And then it’s just gonna be so much easier then to remember and experience how limitless and unconditional you are when you’re that invigorated all the time. The truth is, when you accept the normalization that making yourself smaller is what love and belonging or maturity or or feeling safe require, you accept the lie that you are conditionally lovable. And that is actually the larger distortion at play. Every time you shrink or hide or quiet yourself, dim yourself, edit yourself for some outdated belief for other people, for their limitations, their emotional comfort. You’re not only saying no to your highest and most optimal well-being, but you’re also saying, yes, my lovability is conditional. And that’s not true. That has never been true, will never be true. The people who require you to be a lesser, smaller, more manageable version of you are not your people. They are not for you. Period. Full stop. And when you draw that line, which is a very loud yes to your highest self and your highest timeline, to your body, to your reality, right? When you draw that line between needing permission to be yourself and taking the space that is divinely yours to be yourself, those people are gonna stop being an issue. And that is a very good thing. Because you need no one’s permission to be full size, at full volume, at full brilliance, at full fucking wattage. So here’s your action step for the week. This week I want you to pay attention to when you have that urge to edit yourself, to make yourself smaller, even if it’s just like 10%. And every day I want you to choose one thing that you consciously show up a hundred percent full and true as your true self for by giving your body, your reality, a clean yes. So that could be sending the honest text, right, instead of the half-truth edited one. That could be stating your preference instead of letting someone else choose for you. That could be wearing that thing that you have been eyeing in your closet that you feel like just might be a little bit too much, but then you just fucking wear it. That could be posting the thing on social media that you have been feeling vulnerable, feeling insecure about. Or it could just like simply be letting yourself want what you want without immediately telling yourself to not want it. And then after that, yes, I want you to pause. And I want you to notice what comes up. Like, was there anxiety, some fear? Did you feel a rush? Was there some dread? And you’re noticing to notice, you’re not noticing to fix because there’s nothing wrong. You’re noticing to connect with yourself. So then I want you to take a deep breath with a long exhale. And I want you to let your body feel how safe you are in your fullness. And I want you to give yourself love in that moment. Maybe that’s giving yourself a high five, maybe that’s giving yourself a hug, maybe that’s you screaming into a pillow. And then I want you to intentionally shake your body, drop your shoulders, relax your jaw, relax your arms for a moment. And then if you feel like it, just go on a walk or just like ground, put your feet on the ground, feel your feet on the earth. And you don’t need to make this like a massive ceremony. It doesn’t need to be like 90 minutes of you saying yes and feeling safe in your yes. But I want you to give your body like a true signal that you chose, consciously chose, to show up 100% full without apology, and then nothing collapsed. You’re safe, you’re good. And then that is how you begin to instruct your body, to instruct your reality that being 100% you with zero apologies, without shrinking even 10%, is the new norm. And that new norm is safe. Because that old norm isn’t just costing you your well-being and your highest timeline. What happens when you get used to making yourself smaller is you start to forget what you’re compromising, and then you begin to confuse compliance with peace, with dimming your desire for maturity, with editing your truth as discernment and accepting half-loves as good enough. And that’s when self-abandonment gets mistaken for your personality. And that’s when your true identity gets so buried that you defend your false self more than your true self. But your true self has not disappeared, friend. Even when they have been shoved in that corner for decades, they’re still there, still pure, still big, still divine, ready to shine, ready to remind you that you were not made to be seen or loved in half of your light.
