Kind [of a] B!*ch
Society loves to label people who are bold, confident, and direct as ”bitches”. But here’s the thing—shrinking to avoid that label doesn’t serve you or anyone else. This podcast is about owning your strength, speaking up, and showing up fully as yourself. For most of my life, I cared deeply about what people thought of me. I was the “good, nice girl,” which worked… to an extent. When I pivoted from a career as a professional performer to the cutthroat world of real estate, I struggled with this fear of being called a name for being bold and direct. But I learned that showing up as my authentic self—unapologetically bold—wasn’t just freeing; it was the key to success for me and my clients. This podcast is for anyone who’s tired of shrinking themselves to fit other people’s expectations. Whether you’re rebuilding your confidence, stepping into leadership, or just figuring out how to say “no” without guilt, this is the space for you. We’ll dive into stories of transformation—mine, and those of incredible guests who’ve rewired their mindsets and communication styles to make big moves. I’ll share tools and insights to help you show up bigger and bolder in your own life, and, spoiler alert: there might be ruffle some feathers along the way. If you’re ready to stop apologizing for taking up space and start owning your power, this podcast is for you. Follow along and let’s rewrite the rules—together. Liz Hake is a Seattle-based multi-hyphenate...From performing on stages around the world, to building a successful real estate practice, speaking from stages and leading her clients on their road towards engaging and authentic communication is the name of the game.

Our LAST episode in the Unshrinkable mini series!
One off-the-cuff TikTok post lit up my comments section—and not in a good way. In this episode, I share how I navigated the echo chamber without losing myself, and the choice I made that helped me move forward.
This series is about clarity, resilience, boundary-setting, and choosing integrity over approval. It’s a behind-the-scenes look at what it actually takes to stay unshrinkable in the messy middle.

This three-part series is for anyone who's ever felt the urge to contort themselves to fit—into a gig, a room, a conversation, or someone else's expectations. Unshrinkable is about resisting that urge.
In this mini-series, I unpack three real moments where I felt myself start to shrink—and chose not to.
In Part One, I catch myself shapeshifting for a potential opportunity before I even knew what was being asked.
In Part Two, I say no to a client offer—not because I couldn’t do it, but because it didn’t align.
In Part Three, I post a hot take, the internet explodes, and I have to navigate the echo chamber without losing myself.

Today's buzzwords are all about authenticity and vulnerability. But does too much vulnerability start to look unprofessional?
As a fellow oversharer, deep conversation haver, and somewhat open book with those I meet, learning to discern when vulnerability was appropriate was a journey.
We're talking about the fine line between sharing enough to be "human" while still being a Leader and maintaining a professional persona, especially in the workplace.

We've all been there. Working hard on our personal growth journey only to get completely thrown off course and think:
"Wait I thought I was over this?"
Is it a backslide? A regression perhaps?

Soft Girl vs Bad B!*ch... which one are you?!
In today's episode we're going to talk about the necessity of needing BOTH. I have often felt this push/pull between the two archetypes and I am over it. The power of being able to access both is the name of the game.
If you've ever felt "too sensitive" or "too much" this episode is your permission slip to be ALL of it.
