No More Shrinking β Pop Your Shit, Sis by Adeline Atlas
May 18, 2025
Welcome back to Soul Renovation. I’m Adeline Atlas — 7-times published author.
Playing small is not humility — it’s self-abandonment. It’s pretending you’re less so other people can stay comfortable. And that season? Is over. The woman who has decided to show up fully is the most powerful force on earth. Her shine is not optional — it’s activating. *
This one’s for the women who woke up and said, “I’m not playing small today — and I’m never going back.”
To the woman who finally chose herself, not out of ego, but out of alignment. Who stopped dimming her voice to be palatable. Who stopped watering down her message just to keep the peace. Who walked away from anything that couldn’t hold the weight of her growth — this is your shoutout.
I hope you have the most amazing day. The kind of day that mirrors the power you’ve been holding back. The kind of day where your energy feels too expensive for nonsense. The kind of day where you feel seen — by yourself first.
Because once a woman stops playing small, she becomes a mirror — and not everyone is ready for that reflection. She reminds people of what they’ve avoided. What they’ve suppressed. What they gave up on. And instead of clapping for her, some will flinch. But she doesn’t shrink in response — she pops her sht.*
And what does that mean? It means she owns her power without disclaimers. It means she walks in the room like she built the blueprint. It means she sets boundaries without writing essays. It means she shows up sharp, soft, loud, quiet — however she damn well pleases — because her worth doesn’t hinge on anyone else’s comfort anymore.
Popping your sh*t isn’t arrogance — it’s accurate self-perception. It’s walking like you remember who you are. Like you’re carrying generations of silenced women on your back and saying, “We’re not hiding anymore.” It’s divine defiance. It’s what happens when healing meets audacity.
And no — it doesn’t mean you’re perfect. It means you’ve outgrown pretending you’re not powerful. That’s different. It means you’ve made peace with the parts of you that used to scare people. You’ve forgiven the version of you that stayed silent. And now? You’re not shrinking to make others feel tall. You’re expanding — unapologetically.
So pop your sh*t, sis. That launch? Own it. That boundary? Set it. That outfit? Wear it. That voice? Use it. That dream? Build it. Don’t wait for the likes, the permission, the invite. You are the room. You are the vibe. You are the proof.
And if someone calls it “too much,” smile. Because too much for the wrong room is exactly enough for the right one. You weren’t made to blend in. You weren’t made to keep explaining your light to people committed to darkness. You were made to lead. To ignite. To exist at full wattage.
So here’s your reminder: you don’t owe the world smallness. You don’t owe them relatability at the expense of your radiance. Today, and every day moving forward — you owe yourself truth. And truth looks like fullness. Not fragments.
