In this episode of I Am Spice — The Podcast, we’re talking about something many of us do without even realizing it: shrinking ourselves. We stay quiet when we want to speak. We downplay our accomplishments. We postpone our dreams until some future version of ourselves feels more ready, more confident, or more worthy. But what if the problem isn’t a lack of confidence? What if the real issue is that we’ve become so accustomed to making ourselves smaller that it feels normal? This episode explores the hidden cost of people-pleasing, self-censorship, fear of judgment, and the survival strategies that once protected us but may now be holding us back. We’ll talk about how old patterns can quietly shape our decisions, why familiarity is not the same as fulfillment, and how growth often begins with radical honesty. If you’ve ever felt stuck, unseen, disconnected from yourself, or afraid to fully step into the life you want, this conversation is for you. Because sometimes the life you’re dreaming about doesn’t require you to become someone new. It simply requires you to stop hiding who you’ve been all along.  In this episode: • The subtle ways we make ourselves smaller • How survival strategies become limitations • The price of staying silent and playing safe • Why honesty is often the beginning of growth • The question that can change everything: What is it costing me to stay where I am? If this episode resonates with you, please share it with someone who needs to hear it, follow the podcast, and leave a rating or review. Every share helps these conversations reach someone who may need the reminder that they are allowed to take up space. I am Spice. Unfiltered. Unapologetic. Unstoppable. #IAmSpicePodcast #PersonalGrowth #SelfWorth #HealingJourney #StopPlayingSmall

When People Only Know the Old Version of You / Episode 56

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2453442/fan_mail/new] Have you ever been told… “You’ve changed.” For many of us, those words used to feel like criticism. But what if they’re actually evidence that your healing is working? In this episode, we’re talking about why growth makes some people uncomfortable, how healing changes your standards, and why you don’t owe anyone the version of yourself that survived. We’ll discuss: • Why people only notice your growth when it affects them • The difference between familiarity and genuine love • How healing changes your boundaries • Why self-respect is often mistaken for arrogance • Learning to honor your past without living there • Letting people remember the old version of you while continuing to become someone new This episode also marks a personal milestone as I record from my completed podcast studio for the very first time. Thank you for being part of this journey and for growing alongside me. If this episode resonates with you, please follow the podcast, leave a rating or review, and share it with someone who needs this reminder today. You don’t owe anyone the old version of yourself. You owe yourself the freedom to become who you were always meant to be. I Am Spice — The Podcast Unfiltered • Unapologetic • Unstoppable

Cuando las Personas Solo Conocen la Versión Antigua de Ti / Episodio 56

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2453442/fan_mail/new] ¿Alguna vez alguien te ha dicho… “Has cambiado.” Para muchos de nosotros, esas palabras antes sonaban como una crítica. Pero… ¿y si en realidad son la prueba de que tu proceso de sanación está dando frutos? En este episodio hablamos sobre por qué el crecimiento incomoda a algunas personas, cómo sanar cambia tus estándares y por qué no le debes a nadie la versión de ti que solo estaba sobreviviendo. En esta conversación hablamos sobre: • Por qué las personas solo notan tu cambio cuando deja de beneficiarlas. • La diferencia entre la costumbre y el amor verdadero. • Cómo sanar transforma tus límites. • Por qué el amor propio muchas veces es confundido con arrogancia. • Cómo honrar a la persona que fuiste sin quedarte viviendo en el pasado. • Y cómo permitir que los demás recuerden la versión antigua de ti mientras tú sigues convirtiéndote en quien realmente eres. Este episodio también marca un logro muy importante para mí, porque es el primero que grabo desde mi estudio de podcast completamente terminado. Gracias por acompañarme en este sueño y por crecer conmigo en cada paso del camino. Si este episodio resonó contigo, sígueme en tu plataforma favorita, deja una calificación o una reseña y compártelo con alguien que necesite escuchar este recordatorio hoy. No le debes a nadie la versión antigua de ti. Te debes a ti misma la libertad de convertirte en la persona que siempre estuviste destinada a ser.

EL COSTO DE HACERTE PEQUEÑA/O / EPISODIO 55

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2453442/fan_mail/new] ¿Cuánto de tu vida has pasado tratando de hacer sentir cómodos a los demás? En este episodio de I Am Spice — El Podcast, hablamos sobre algo que muchas personas hacen sin siquiera darse cuenta: hacerse pequeñas. Guardamos silencio cuando queremos hablar. Minimizar nuestros logros. Posponer nuestros sueños hasta que llegue una versión futura de nosotros mismos que se sienta más preparada, más segura o más merecedora. Pero, ¿y si el problema no es la falta de confianza? ¿Y si el verdadero problema es que nos hemos acostumbrado tanto a hacernos pequeños que ya nos parece normal? En esta conversación exploramos el costo oculto de complacer a los demás, de censurarnos, del miedo al juicio ajeno y de esas estrategias de supervivencia que alguna vez nos protegieron, pero que ahora podrían estar limitándonos. Hablamos de cómo los viejos patrones siguen tomando decisiones por nosotros, por qué lo familiar no siempre significa plenitud y cómo el crecimiento muchas veces comienza con una honestidad profunda hacia nosotros mismos. Si alguna vez te has sentido estancada/o, invisible, desconectada/o de quien realmente eres o con miedo de ocupar el espacio que mereces, este episodio es para ti. Porque a veces la vida que sueñas no requiere que te conviertas en alguien diferente. Simplemente requiere que dejes de esconder quién has sido todo este tiempo.  En este episodio: • Las formas sutiles en que nos hacemos pequeños • Cómo las estrategias de supervivencia pueden convertirse en límites • El precio de permanecer en silencio y jugar a lo seguro • Por qué la honestidad suele ser el comienzo del crecimiento • La pregunta que puede cambiarlo todo: ¿Qué te está costando quedarte exactamente donde estás? Si este episodio resonó contigo, compártelo con alguien que necesite escucharlo, sigue el podcast y déjanos una valoración o reseña. Cada compartido ayuda a que estas conversaciones lleguen a personas que quizás necesiten recordar que tienen derecho a ocupar su espacio en este mundo. Yo soy Spice. Sin filtros. Sin disculpas. Imparable. #IAmSpicePodcast #CrecimientoPersonal #AmorPropio #SanaciónEmocional #DejaDeHacertePequeño

The Strange Thing About Being Seen / Episode 54

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2453442/fan_mail/new] Have you ever discovered that someone has been paying attention to you for much longer than you realized? Maybe they remember a conversation you forgot. Maybe they’ve been following your work for years without ever saying a word. Maybe they bring up something you posted months ago and suddenly you’re left wondering, “Wait… you’ve been watching this whole time?” In this episode, Iris explores the unexpected reality of visibility, the quiet followers we never notice, and why being seen can feel both validating and uncomfortable at the same time. She talks about criticism, internet trolls, family dynamics, creator life, and the emotional cost of putting yourself out into the world. Because the truth is, being noticed doesn’t mean you’ve done something wrong. Sometimes it means you’re finally making an impact. If you’ve ever felt judged, misunderstood, criticized, or afraid to show up fully as yourself, this episode is for you. Because the strange thing about being seen is realizing you were never as invisible as you thought you were.
