2026 is the year YOU WIN

Описание: We’ve been taught that being humble means staying small, quiet, and grateful but what if that mindset is actually blocking us from receiving everything we deserve?

In this episode of SIPS with Starr, I’m unpacking how playing humble, dimming your light, and shrinking yourself for other people’s comfort can keep you stuck. I share my own experience with fear, people-pleasing, and staying in environments that no longer served me and how leaving, trusting myself, and showing up fully changed my life.

This conversation was inspired by recent cultural moments, including Teyana Taylor’s Golden Globe win, and her powerful reminder that softness, confidence, and visibility are not liabilities. We talk about what it really means to “get your things,” why no one hands you opportunities willingly, and why sometimes you have to stop waiting for permission and go after what you want.

This video is for you if:
• you’ve been told to stay humble in ways that kept you small
• you’re tired of dimming yourself to make others comfortable
• you’ve outgrown your environment but feel afraid to leave
• you’re ready to stop playing nice and start showing up fully

We also discuss:
• fear of judgment and rejection
• leaving environments that limit growth
• people-pleasing and being okay with being disliked
• confidence vs arrogance
• visibility for women and creatives
• trusting yourself even when no one is clapping

If you’ve ever asked yourself “who do I think I am?” this video is your answer.
