The Stories We Tell Ourselves That Keep Us Small

February 20, 2025

How our past shapes who we become and what holds us back.

Paul Berry joins Britt Furlanis (@britt.furlanis) and Taylor Kelly (@taylorkelly_mab), executive coaches and co-hosts of the Women Unleashed Podcast (@womenunleashedpodcast), for a deeply honest conversation about identity, grief, gender, and high performance.

Britt is a leadership facilitator with a background in psychology and behavioural science. Taylor is a senior executive coach, qualified psychotherapist, and former criminal barrister. Together, they create space for ambitious women to confront the inner patterns that keep them playing small.

In this episode, Paul shares his own story of emotional shutdown and personal loss, and the moment that cracked him open to a new way of living, leading, and relating. For women navigating leadership, motherhood, or male-dominated spaces, this conversation reveals what often goes unspoken, the cost of silence, the pressure to conform, and the deep desire to lead from truth.
