In a recent podcast interview, I was asked what my greatest strength is. It’s not my degrees. It’s not the books I’ve written, and it’s not standing on stages across the globe.
My greatest strength is my ability to connect – with vulnerability, honesty, and heart.
I’ve battled addiction. I’ve persevered through mental health struggles. I’ve buried my best friend.
There were several moments that I didn’t think I’d survive. But instead of hiding those parts of me from the world, I’ve chosen to share them.
When you speak from a place of pain and healing, people listen differently. They see themselves in your story, and as a result, they feel less alone.
My hope is that you are able to turn your pain into purpose and create meaningful connections.
If that helps people to feel seen, heard, and inspired to keep going – then that makes a challenging journey worth every step.
Keep talking my friends.
