Never have a I ever thought I would be so comfortable and confident speaking in front of others.

The truth is, I wasn’t always comfortable on a stage with a mic...let alone speaking in front of people in general

Actually, I would avoid it at all costs.

I would get so nervous that my hands and voice would visibly shake.

The insecurity, uncertainty and disconnection within flowed out of me in situations like this {it was messy}

But the more connection work I did -aka: knowing myself, trusting myself and giving myself permission to be imperfectly me- all that fear began to slip away

I started showing up more.

I spoke through the nerves.

I let my voice shake.

I survived the vulnerability hangovers.

Sometimes we avoid or don’t honor our gifts because they are encased in fear.

But that doesn’t mean we can’t crack it open and revive it.

Now, nothing gives me more JOY than speaking, leading and facilitating.

I feel most ME and most FREE doing this work.

Funny how the one thing I feared was actually my gift. I just didn’t know it or harness it-but now I do.

I honor it and share it because it’s not meant to be kept to myself.

Knowing our gifts and sharing them is a key way for us to connect.

If I ask you what your gifts are-would you be able to tell me right away or would you struggle?

If you struggle to answer this question-tune into today's episode, I am digging into this topic more and giving you some tools to discover and OWN your gifts.
