In this episode of Success Unscripted, I sit down with Liz Agosto—a former client turned friend who went from executive assistant to COO of major organizations. She played the corporate game, followed the rules, and stayed "humble"—until she realized it was holding her back.

We dive into:
Why playing small is keeping you broke, invisible, and stuck
How self-promotion isn’t arrogance—it’s survival
Why women, especially women of color, feel pressure to “stay in their place”
How to build confidence, own your value, and speak up (without the guilt)
The truth about external validation—and how to stop relying on it

If you’ve ever felt like you have to tone it down, shrink yourself, or let your work “speak for itself”—this episode is your wake-up call.

🚀 Listen now, step into your power, and OWN your success.
