Season 2 – Episode #32 – Share Your Voice

I’ve always been timid… Hiding from the world, ashamed of my own voice, afraid of taking space, being a slave of my inner critique that stopped me from sharing my truth, my sense of humor, my essence. We all have our stories and experiences that left their mark and had consequences on our future, the only difference is the way we managed to overcome them, to shift them into boosters for our confidence and self-esteem.

So, today, on The Kintsugi Podcast we encourage those who have been marginalized to blossom and we invite you all on Clubhouse into our Pause Breathe Reflect (P.B.R.) community, specially created to help us regain control over our stories and practice our truth.

Key Points:

-Storytime- consequences (1:02)

-Timid… (5:08)

-Sometimes the person who needs to hear your story is yourself (06:51)

-We stop believing in our story and give others the power to write it (08:21)

-Don’t let them stop you from sharing your story (09:49)

-This moment was made for you- write your tomorrow (10:49)

-Clubhouse- practice sharing your voice (14:10)

Quotes:

“Everyone has a book inside of them, but it doesn’t do any good until you pry it out of people.” (Jodi Picoult)

“What people say and do is about them and what we do and say in response is about us”.

“We are all perfectly imperfect”.

“Your scars are golden symbols of your resilience”.

“If you were a butterfly and you were once a caterpillar and you were flapping your wings, you probably wouldn’t be anxious, you would be excited to fly anywhere you wanted to go.”
