Don’t F*kn Shrink
You know that voice in your head that whispers “play it safe, stay small, don’t rock the boat”?
Yeah… we’re not listening to that here.
Welcome to Don’t F*kn Shrink, the podcast for high achievers, entrepreneurs, and leaders who are ready to stop holding back, build unshakable confidence, and show up fully in their lives.
I’m Daffney Allwein, performance coach, athlete, and unapologetic believer that you were never meant to shrink yourself to fit. For nearly two decades, I’ve helped elite performers, from pro athletes to top-level executives, rebuild their bodies, strengthen their mindset, and rise higher than they thought possible.
On this show, you’ll get:
- Unfiltered conversations with people who’ve faced setbacks, reinvented themselves, and refused to quit
- Mindset strategies to push past fear, self-doubt, and perfectionism
- Performance habits that fuel success without burnout
- Real talk on leadership, resilience, and personal growth, the kind nobody puts in their highlight reel
This isn’t fluff. This isn’t fake inspiration. This is the place to get tools, truth, and a powerful reminder that you were made to take up space.
So if you’re ready to stop shrinking, break through your limits, and create a life that feels as good on the inside as it looks on the outside… hit that follow button.
Because the journey starts now.
