Shameless Leadership

225: How to Build Your Stage


Listen Later

I recently got an email from Shameless Mama Megan about her experience taking a stand against sexual abuse against children that is happening in the LDS church.

Megan shares how she stood up for herself and her beliefs even though her entire family did not have her back. She stood up through tears and discomfort. She used her voice even when it was shaky. She didn’t back down, even when that would have been the easiest way out.

Megan’s story is a powerful example of how practicing using your voice can change your life. Megan identifies herself as an introvert and a typically quiet person. But now she is also a marcher, a truth teller, an advocate, and a podcast celeb (after thousands of people hear her story here!) 

Thank you for letting me share your story, Megan. Your voice matters. Your voice is NEEDED. Keep speaking, sister. It only gets more powerful, life-changing, and life-giving from here.

Listen in to hear Megan’s full story that is guaranteed to light a fire in you this week. Then, will take you through 4 ways to build your own stage, just like Megan did. I will also give you 10 warnings around what to expect when you build your stage, so you aren’t surprised when your knees shake – and you can look forward to the exhilaration that comes with owning your voice.
