You’re gonna need to do this

You’re gonna need to do this

One of the first things I learned when I started to use my voice was to redirect responsibility. I was basing my decisions on what I knew would please others without looking inside at what would please me. When things didn't work out, I blamed them for what was...

The path to great relationships

The path to great relationships

Feeling the shame of not using your voice? It’s not your fault.

Feeling the shame of not using your voice? It’s not your fault.

It frigging happens.

We feel shame when we don’t use our voices or when we can’t use our voices.

How shitty is that? Even a little struggle to use our voices can hold us back from asking for what we need or want. Even a little fear can keep us from getting the experiences that we know we need to be completely self aligned.
