Today, let's talk about why confident women trigger others - and why that's perfectly OK.
You know exactly what I'm talking about, right?
You finally raise your prices and suddenly everyone's got opinions about your "greed."
You start owning your expertise and get those lovely comments about being "full of yourself."
You charge what you're worth and people start whispering about you "getting too big for your britches."
Your confidence is triggering people. And honestly? Good.
Here's What's Really Happening
When you step into your full power as a woman in business, you basically become a walking mirror for everyone else's stuff.
Your confidence highlights their insecurities. Your success exposes their excuses. Your boldness reveals their fear.
And that makes people really, really uncomfortable.
So when you charge $5K without flinching, it forces them to look at why they're still charging $500.
When you own your value, it highlights how much they're undervaluing themselves.
When you don't care what people think, it reminds them how much they're still people-pleasing.
When you take up space unapologetically, it shows them how much space they're not claiming.
When you speak with authority, it reveals how much they're doubting their own expertise.
The Comments You'll Start Hearing
Oh, you're going to get some interesting reactions when you become truly confident. Like:
"She's changed." (Translation: She's no longer playing small to make me comfortable.)
"She's gotten cocky." (Translation: She's no longer apologizing for her success.)
"She thinks she's better than everyone." (Translation: She's no longer diminishing herself to fit in.)
"She's all about the money now." (Translation: She's no longer undercharging to seem humble.)
"She used to be so nice." (Translation: She's no longer people-pleasing at her own expense.)
Sound familiar? Yeah, I thought so.
But Here's Why This Is Actually Amazing
Your confidence triggering others means you're no longer enabling their small thinking.
By playing big, you're showing them what's possible instead of confirming their limitations.
You're modeling what self-worth actually looks like.
Someone needs to show other women it's safe to value themselves, and apparently that someone is you.
You're breaking generational patterns.
Your confidence gives other women permission to step into theirs.
You're attracting your real people - the ones who celebrate your confidence instead of feeling threatened by it.
And you're finally living in integrity, aligning your pricing with your value and your visibility with your mission.
The Trap So Many Women Fall Into
Here's what happens though.
Many women feel those reactions and immediately start toning down their confidence to avoid triggering others.
They lower their prices to seem "accessible."
They downplay their achievements to seem "humble."
They apologize for their success to seem "relatable."
They hide their results to avoid making others feel bad.
They shrink their energy to fit into smaller spaces.
But this doesn't serve anyone.
Not you, not them, not the people who actually need what you have.
What Those Triggered People Are Really Telling You
People who are triggered by your confidence are basically giving you information:
They're not your people. Your ideal clients will be inspired by your confidence, not threatened by it.
They're projecting their own fears. Their reaction to your success has nothing to do with you and everything to do with their own limitations.
They're showing you their ceiling. Anyone who thinks you're "too much" is revealing the level they're comfortable staying at.
They're not ready for transformation. People who want real change celebrate those who've made it - they don't criticize them.
Your Confidence Isn't Up for Negotiation
Look, your confidence isn't something you need to manage, tone down, or apologize for. It's something you need to own fully.
Because every time you dim your light to make others comfortable, you're teaching them that confidence is something to be ashamed of.
You're reinforcing their limiting beliefs about what's possible.
You're denying the world the full power of your gifts.
And you're betraying the women who need to see your example.
You Have Permission to Trigger People
I'm giving you permission right now to trigger people with your confidence.
To charge what you're worth even if it makes others uncomfortable.
To own your expertise even if it threatens those who doubt theirs.
To take up space even if it shows others how small they're playing.
Because your confidence isn't about them - it's about your mission.
