Episode 5: The Price We Pay for Playing Small

Episode 5: The Price We Pay for Playing Small What is playing small really costing you? In this episode of Designed to Be Heard, Cytel Schults explores the hidden cost of shrinking yourself, staying invisible, and holding back the voice you're meant to share. So often, we believe playing it safe protects us from failure or judgment—but in reality, it keeps us disconnected from our purpose, our people, and the impact we're here to make. In this conversation, you'll discover why playing small isn't humility—it's often fear disguised as safety. Cytel shares how self-doubt, perfectionism, and the desire for approval quietly shape the way we market ourselves, show up in our business, and communicate our message. Most importantly, she invites you to consider what becomes possible when you choose authenticity over hiding. If you've been waiting until you feel more qualified, more confident, or more "ready," this episode will encourage you to stop letting fear make your decisions and start taking aligned action from where you are. * The hidden cost of playing small in your business and life. * Why fear often disguises itself as perfectionism and preparation. * How shrinking your voice keeps the right people from finding you. * The importance of choosing authenticity over approval. * Practical mindset shifts to help you step into greater visibility and confidence. Whether you're building a business, sharing your message, or learning to trust yourself more deeply, this episode will inspire you to recognize the price of staying small—and to choose the version of yourself that was always meant to be heard. 👉 Book your Marketing Session: Booking Link [https://calendly.com/soul-sound/marketing-sessions] 📱 Instagram: @designedtobeheard 🎙️ For Podcast Swaps: Podcast Swap Link [https://forms.gle/58TnnWQD7N3gePiL9] You don't hate marketing, you hate feeling disconnected from yourself while doing it.

Episode 3: Why Being Faithful to Yourself Makes Marketing Easier

Episode 3: Why Being Faithful to Yourself Makes Marketing Easier What if the reason marketing feels so exhausting isn't because you're doing it wrong—but because you're trying to sound like someone you're not? In this episode of You Were Designed to Be Heard, Cytel Schults explores how staying faithful to who you are can completely transform the way you market your business. When your messaging is rooted in authenticity instead of comparison, marketing becomes less about convincing people and more about connecting with the people you're truly meant to serve. If you've ever felt pressure to follow trends, copy successful entrepreneurs, or fit into a marketing formula that doesn't feel right, this conversation will remind you that your greatest advantage is your unique voice. You'll discover: * Why authenticity creates stronger connections than perfection. * How trying to sound like everyone else leads to burnout and inconsistent messaging. * The relationship between self-trust and confident marketing. * Practical ways to align your message with your values and natural communication style. * Why the right audience is attracted to honesty, not performance. When you stop chasing someone else's strategy and start honoring your own voice, marketing becomes more natural, more enjoyable, and far more effective. If you're ready to build a business that sounds like you and attracts clients who genuinely resonate with your message, this episode is for you. Ready to discover your authentic sound?
