This happened

Let's lean into this a bit. I am a self proclaimed shy girl in front of a camera and on a stage. I just feel clumsy and my mind tends to crash out. But then this happened...

I put my makeup on and through on a "cute outfit" to go vintage shopping on this beautiful Phoenix day with my guy. While out I reached out to a couple friends I wanted to support and catch up with since we were in the area.

Then this happened...

They were headed to record a podcast.

Then this happened...

The universe said today without any notice. I would be a guest on their podcast. No preparation or time for my nerves to self sabotage. I sat down.

Then this happened...

I opened my heart. I opened my mouth and I poured out what seemingly came natural to me. My desire to use my experiences, my wisdom, my knowledge to heal and give people the tools and insight to to help them evolve, to grow and to become. It's the inner work. That's where it starts.

Then this happened...

I felt fine. I felt honored. I felt purposeful.

I'm ready.

... Read moreHave you ever experienced a situation where life threw an unexpected opportunity your way? Many people feel hesitant about public speaking, especially when it involves sharing personal stories. This article reflects on the transformative power of stepping out of your comfort zone. Shyness can often hold individuals back from pursuing their passions, but confronting that barrier can lead to meaningful connections and personal growth. Engaging in activities like podcasting not only helps boost confidence but also allows individuals to disseminate their insights and stories to a wider audience. The importance of inner work cannot be overstated. This implies taking the time to reflect on one's experiences, emotions, and desires, which can contribute significantly to healing and empowerment. Listeners and audience members appreciate authenticity, and sharing personal narratives resonates with their own life experiences. If you're seeking to engage in podcasts or share your story, consider gathering insights from professionals, such as coaches and therapists, who can provide guidance on overcoming obstacles. Embrace the notion that sometimes the best experiences happen spontaneously. Your story could inspire someone else just as sharing yours has the potential to heal and lift you. By recognizing moments of vulnerability as opportunities for growth, you can empower yourself and others in the process.
