You stay quiet, because if you open your mouth, the frustration, the anger, maybe even the tears, will come with it.

You’re constantly pissed off—at everything.
The social inequalities on campus. The admin chaos. Even your students’ questionable fashion choices at graduation.

You avoid going for the leadership role—because the anxiety about how you’ll be perceived is unbearable.
What if they think you’re too much? What if they don’t take you seriously? What if you fuck it up?

🚨 Here’s the problem:
Your nervous system is running the show—and it’s keeping you stuck.
You avoid the discomfort, thinking it’s keeping you safe. But really?
❌ It’s holding you back from the career (and life) you actually want.
❌ It’s keeping you small.
❌ It’s making everything feel 100x harder than it needs to be.

Inside The Sisterhood, we’re getting a handle on this.
