This is a wonderful companion piece to your podcast! A book I highly recommend (on audio) is Suleika Jaouad's brilliant first book Between Two Kingdoms. She has a new book out which I haven't read yet (The Book of Alchemy) -- like you, she expresses herself beautifully in writing and is learning to embrace other ways of sharing her story. Remember, it takes courage to put yourself out there! :)
Fiercely honest and heartfelt and brave. So proud of you. I loved the podcast and I appreciate your insight and vulnerability. We only grow by facing challenges. Love you 🙌💕🙏🥰
Wow. To watch someone go from me to we as naked as they came in, to the world, is nothing short of absolute transparency. Your ability to share the flaws along the way are so inspired. Heart minded indeed.
"Still, I do want to grow. Not from shame—but from devotion—to the people I'm here to serve. I want to learn how to speak clearly so my stories can land where they're needed. I want to be able to say what I mean, and mean what I say. With color. With shape. With heart—because the clearer I become, the more I can help others find clarity too.
I want to get better at telling stories that begin with me but ripple out into the "we." That reflect something human, universal, real.
So maybe this is the beginning.
The awkward first rep—the one I’ll look back on someday and smile at. Not because it was perfect (far from it), but because it was brave.
Because I showed up.
Because I'm still learning how to speak—not just fluently, but honestly.
And if you've ever shared something vulnerable, only to feel like you didn't say it quite right, or forgot to thank someone who changed your life—I'm right there with you.

Keep showing up and living bravely—that alone is life-changing and inspiring. Thanks for the reminder.

We're practicing.
We're learning.
And we're not alone."
