🎙️ Hailey + Mary — Take Up Some Fucking Space

Show by Ashley ❣️

What happens when you stop trying to make yourself smaller for everybody else? In this episode of FUCK…Where Do We Start?, I sit down with Hailey and Mary for a conversation about being seen, stepping outside your comfort zone, grief, mental health, trauma, confidence, and figuring out who you are when you finally give yourself permission to take up space. Hailey and I have known each other since we were little, but life took us in different directions before we reconnected years later. We talk about what it means to push yourself into uncomfortable situations, how grief and trauma change you, and what can happen when you decide to show up even when you’re scared. Mary brings an entirely different perspective to the conversation. She’s spent her whole life literally standing out—being tall meant being noticed whether she wanted to be or not. We talk about being seen, confidence, learning to own the things that make you different, and what happens when you stop treating standing out like it’s something you need to apologize for. And somewhere between all of those stories is something I think a lot of us are still learning: You don’t have to shrink yourself to make other people comfortable. You don’t have to wait until you’re completely healed to do something scary. And you definitely don’t have to blend in just because standing out feels uncomfortable. Sometimes you have to walk into the room exactly as you are and take up some fucking space. 🎙️ “Take Up Some Fucking Space” — FUCK…Where Do We Start? 🖤
