I am rereading Daring Greatly by Brené Brown, a person whose research has been enormously personally beneficial to me. I underlined the following line tonight:

When our self worth isn´t on the line, we are far more willing to be courageous and risk sharing our raw talents and gifts.

I am reminded my own vulnerability and shame are topics I have struggled with over the years too. I feel like I am still excavating them, digging them out. I have worked on them for a long time too with a therapist.

In terms of future directions, I am musing on expanding my reach (and writing) outside of safe circles into a wider audience, resisting playing things safe. I am doing this one piece at a time.

I have not forgotten about a podcast.

The truth is… I have managed so many new big things in my life in the past couple years, I have found my own edges. I will keep stretching and expanding into new circles. I am committed to doing so courageously.
